    Discusses the benefits of sowing seeds

    Sowing Introduction Last week we took up a seed offering for our guest speaker. When I told the guests who came to hear him that they did not have to give in the regular offerings, they looked at me as if I was crazy. Most people plan to give once when they come to Church and I wanted that to ...read more

    Text: Genesis 21:1-21 Date: Sunday, June 23, 2002 Author: Rev. Jonathan K. Twitchell You and I live in a society in which it is common for people to look for loopholes. Lawyers look for loopholes in the legal system for the benefit of their clients. Insurance companies specialize in pages of ...read more

    Jesus tells a parable about two people whose debts were forgiven. In doing so, Jesus was teaching about God’s grace and challenging some religious perceptions of his day and perhaps ours.

    Parables of Jesus Become an Exhibitionist Luke 7:36-50 (41-43) April 19, 2009 We’re beginning a new series on the parables of Jesus. We will look at several parables over the next several weeks to try to understand how Jesus was using these parables to teach kingdom principles and challenge common ...read more

     | 3,142 views

    The Lord has his family; five words from the Ten Commandments describe the major characteristics of this family -- this one is STRONG

    The Lord’s family is our focus this month as we take a look at five words that describe the character and function of a church. Last week’s word was loyalty, and we discovered that a loyal member of God’s family (God’s church family) is one who gives unguarded worship to only God; he has no other ...read more

    Some of the greatest figures throughout Scripture have experienced failure. Failure is something we all experience. But how do you overcome failure?

    Overcoming Failure Romans 3:23 and James 3:2 Sooner or later, everyone will experience failure. There are some here today who have had more successes than failures yet failure is a universal experience. Some of the greatest people in history have had their life checkered with failure.

    Hearing Versus Listening

    Today we are going back to the OT days of Nehemiah to see how the people of that day listened or just heard God's Word. God has brought us here today, not just to hear a sermon, but to listen as God speaks to our heart.

    When you come to a service like this or attend a Bible study class, do you just hear what is said or do you listen? Is there a difference? For most of us listening is our most frequently used communication skill. Listening is a very important part of communication. One study points out that ...read more

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Aug 19, 2024
     | 595 views

    If I understand God’s hand in and heart towards creation, I can choose to trust Him to rule over my life and remain under His protection. I know that He loves me and only wants the best for me and that His plan for my life is good and perfect.

    Last Sunday, we began looking at the topic of God’s sovereignty which talks about the preeminence, power, and authority of God. Today we will be speaking on the Sovereignty of God and Salvation: The Hand and Heart of God. Studying the doctrine of sovereignty helps us to make sense of evil and what ...read more

    Spirits Of Pentecost

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Sep 2, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,342 views

    The Holy Spirit offers his influence but he does not guarantee his empowerment. If we are not prepared to exercise the proper spirit toward the Spirit we will lose the intended blessing and anointing of God.

    ¡§Scrooge¡¨ is a classic story that emphasis the ¡§what¡¨ against ¡§what if¡¨. It is the story of a wealthy, miserly businessman who does not know any joy in life nor wills for anyone else to taste the same. He use to have heart but it died some years before. The spirits of Christmas past, present ...read more

    This sermon will teach that the level of understanding of the will of God a person has determines not only their joy in serving HIM, but also the severity of their discipline from HIM.

    41. Then Peter said unto HIM, “Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?” 42. And the Lord said, “Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? 43. Blessed is that servant whom his ...read more

    Sermon discusses Mary’s willingess to become God’s handmaiden. Three lessons are also examined: We are never alone, We are part of a greater plan, and Being faithful leads to greater opportunites to serve God.

    The Annunciation Introduction The other day I was scanning a popular men’s magazine and came across a quiz that tested, “How Daring Are You?” At first, I was certain that I’d score pretty well because I consider myself an innovator and risk taker. For example, I tried Cherry Coke ...read more
