    John 3:16 is the greatest summary of the gospel in the entire Bible.

    Introduction Every Easter, churches worldwide see a noticeable increase in attendance. That is true for our church as well. Why is that? Why do so many people attend church on Easter Sunday and not on any other Sunday? Perhaps it is because for some that is the religious thing to do. Family ...read more

    Jesus On Family Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 12, 2025
     | 269 views

    It's easy to overlook just how radical a statement Jesus makes here. He is doing nothing less than fundamentally redefining the family. What are the implications of actually living this out?

    ONE QUICK POINT BEFORE WE GET TO THE ACTUAL SERMON: The definition of a Christian is someone hearing God’s word and putting it into practice. - Luke 8:21. - Matthew 7:21, 24, 26; Matthew 12:50; John 7:17; John 14:23; John 15:10; 1 John 2:17. - Jesus says something here that is crucially ...read more

    The first necessary step in redemption (#4 in the ’Every Spiritual Blessing’ series)

    As we continue in this study in Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, we must be careful not to skip merrily along, flitting from one verse or phrase to the next and on to the next, touching the surface of each, like a bee gathering pollen, and never looking back at previous verses, or even stopping to ...read more

     | 21,616 views

    No trial, no comfort and being comfortable is poverty.

    We live in a day when there is much hardship, sorrow, guilt and untimely deaths. People seek comfort for their sorrows in many ways. Many turn to drugs, alcohol, nicotine, sex and even food to feel better or to forget their pain for a while. Sadly, the pain returns and often the temporary cures ...read more

    Unexpected Converts

    Grace. Those most people thought were least likely to become God’s people are the ones who come to Christ; while the ones often thought to be most likely became his enemies.

    Two of the surprises that we come across as we read the New Testament are the people who become close to Jesus, and the people who are alienated from Jesus. It is surprising because it is exactly the opposite of what we would expect to find. We would expect Jesus to be close to the religious folk ...read more

    God expects us to be transformed into the image of Christ. To refuse to do this we remain deformed in the image of the world.

    In November of 1977 we adopted our son Kevin. As Kevin grew, he would occasionally want to sleep in our “king-sized” bed with us. We were used to having our dog in bed with us, and the addition of Kevin added little to the problem. Before too long, Kevin preferred to sleep in the big bed with Mom ...read more

    Introduction: A. Let me start this morning with some questions: 1. What is it that really gets you going? What is it that really makes you mad? 2. What gets your emotions stirred and launches you into a fight’em mode? 3. I came across this funny bumper sticker: “I'm just driving this ...read more

In part it read: While he served as pastor at Central College Presbyterian Church on Sunbury Road in Westerville, the Rev. Dr. Richard Ellsworth remembers seeing fishermen going by early on ...read more
