Sweet Solitude

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Aug 11, 2015

Nowadays it is getting harder and harder to discern the truth as more and more people are set on re-defining it for us. This twisting of the truth can be all straightened out when we seek the Holy Spirit in our lives and spend time alone with Him.

Message: Last week before I headed out to Sunday morning service I caught a bit of Dr. Charles Stanley’s message on Solitude and I thought what a great subject. So this morning I’m going to give you my take on the same subject but I thank Dr. Stanley for the inspiration. God created a ...read more

Contributed by James Lee on Dec 4, 2015

I would like to thank Pastor Jerry Shirley for sharing his series on Acts. It has been a blessing as well as a great help. I have used these for our church, as I spend my days caring for my dying father.

Appreciation: For Jesus And Others Who Honor God!

Contributed by Kelly Durant on Dec 31, 2015

Do you want to know about the character of a person? Ask yourself, who do they love and appreciate? Who do they talk about and spend money or time on? Jesus gave us eternal life, appreciation goes to Him first!

Standing In The Gap Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 4, 2016

The first 3 chapters of Revelation have often been seen as separate from the rest of the book. But that doesn't make any sense. Why would Jesus spend 3 chapters on local churches who were not part of the rest of the story?

OPEN: This morning I’m going to teach you a little about something that’s called “Hermeneutics”. Hermeneutics is the description of how to read and understand your Bible. When I was in Bible College I had a professor who told us that whenever the Bible had a lot to say on a ...read more

"finding Our Way Home"

Contributed by David Henderson on Feb 17, 2020

We actually have three stories being told here. Three stories. One parable. One big truth and here it is. Lost things matter to God. As a result, God spends a great deal of time looking for his people.

"Finding Our Way Home" Luke 15:11-20 While living in Kentucky a good friend of mine and I drove all the way to Detroit to see a baseball game. I had never been to the old Tiger’s stadium and they were playing my favorite team so we made the trek. I took my car and getting to Detroit was ...read more

The very thought of having been created by the one and only Lord God of all wonders motivates Christians to spend more time praising Him for His great love, His great faithfulness, His great mercies toward all people.

Palm Sunday 2018

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Mar 26, 2018

God has provided the way for us to escape sin (John 14:6), because He wants us to be with Him and none to perish (2 Peter 3:9). His desire is that we would worship Him and spend eternity with Him.

Palm Sunday - 2018 Luke 19:28-44 Introduction - The Easter story is not just about Easter morning, but a culmination of events -- Each event marches us closer to the promise, that death of a Savior; Christ - As we look to the Savior for a glorious HOPE of resurrection; we have trials -- It is in ...read more

Lifestyle Of The Blessed And Prosperous

Contributed by Pastor Dre on Jun 16, 2018

There are shows that show people celebrating how they spend their money from Life Style of the Rich and Famous to Top Billing (South Africa), but we as Christians can also celebrate how God is using our giving to make a difference in the lives of people.

“Celebrating our giving” John 6:9-12 John 6:9 (NET) "Here is a boy who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what good are these for so many people?" John 6:10 (NET) Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." (Now there was a lot of grass in that place.) So the men sat down, about five thousand ...read more

Choosing The Right Path

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Oct 28, 2023

To build a life of significance is not found in earthly relationships, amassing wealth, or good health but in faith in a risen Savior. We all stand at the crossroads to either believe in Jesus and be granted adoption into His family or reject Him and forever spend eternity in hell.

Tomorrow Belongs To God

Contributed by Joshua Blackmon on Jun 1, 2022

This outline was inspired by a sermon preached by T. D. Jakes. Often we do not enjoy the benefits and blessings of living for God today because rather than relating to God in prayer now we spend our time worrying about later.

TITLE: Tomorrow Belongs to God TEXT: Matthew 6:25-34 (NIV) 25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or ...read more

Sermon # 7 - Watch And Pray Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 13, 2024

Jesus wanted His disciples to tarry with Him in prayer at a most crucial hour, but they were overcome with sleep. If we can set aside some distractions and discipline ourselves to spend time with God we will experience wonderful transformation in our lives.

We read in Mark 14:37, He went back and found them asleep. He said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn't you stay awake for one hour? (GW) As Jesus was praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, he instructed his disciples to tarry in prayer right where they were, when He went on further ...read more

What In Hell Do We Need? Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Apr 3, 2003

What if you could spend 30 seconds in heaven and 30 seconds in hell? Which of the two do you think would give you a greater burden for lost people--the glory and majesty of heaven or seeing and hearing those in agony in hell?

Lead Others To The Lamb Series

Contributed by Mike Cleveland on Dec 10, 2007

Living with the Lamb enables us to lead others to the Lamb. Spending time with Jesus makes it so that our hearts burn with desire to lead others to Him. And so all true ministry is born out of people simply getting into the presence of Christ and by being
