    based on 1 rating
     | 16,203 views

    As we run the race the journey will be one where we face many faith-testing situations. In that journey we can endure and “finish well” because our Saviour gives us all we need to fight the good fight, finish the race and keep the faith.

    Message 2 Timothy 4:1-8 Finish Well I want to start by talking about epitaphs. An epitaph is the words which are written on a tombstone and they act as a way of remembering a deceased person’s life. One day a man and his brother were walking through a cemetery in the country which contained old ...read more

    To establish that Christ had a mind of submission, sacrifice and serenity (great patience); when He came to earth, to do the will of His Father. This lesson is the first of three in the series: “The Mind of Christ.”

    INTRODUCTION Outline. Christ’s Mind of Submission Remarks. 1. Today we are going to be discussing the mind of Christ. The beloved apostle Paul encourages the saints at Philippi to: “If there be therefore in a consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any ...read more

    The Devil's Tools

    Contributed by Steve Woods (Pastor Woody) on May 2, 2019
     | 7,707 views

    It is so important to any believer that we not let the Devil’s tools eat away at us and cause us to go in a direction, down a path, that is far from God.

    All too often today I see where people have lost their faith. They either don’t believe at all, have never heard nor understood the word of God or something has happened in their lives to take them away His Word. As we have talked about many times here at our Church, we know what this and, deep ...read more

    Feeling Small, Walking Tall Series

     | 5,388 views

    Small congregations might feel ineffective at reaching people, but big things come in small packages. Both the parable of "the mustard seed" and "the yeast" show how small, seemingly insignificant things can make a huge impact.

    The passage of Scripture that we will view tonight contains two short parables – “The Mustard Seed” and “The Yeast.” I have entitled our sermon “Feeling Small, Walking Tall,” and the passage that we’ll be studying provides a great opportunity for sharing a motivational message. You are probably ...read more

    Funeral Sermon: This message was written for the death of a pilot. It shows how aviation is a metaphor for life, with its highs and lows. It was written primarily for the survivors, to help them lean on God during the difficult days ahead.

    We are gathered here today to remember and celebrate the life of George Royalty; and I want to hone in on a brief chapter of his life – one of the most memorable – which was his pursuit of aviation; a pursuit he undertook with his son. I got to meet George and talk with him a couple of times, such ...read more

    Again we are going to visit that famous party that Belshazzar gave.

    We mentioned in a previous message that party was noted in the scriptures for several reasons, such as... (1) Belshazzar, the KING, personally gave it. (2) There were so many who attended it. (3) Most of the “elite” folks of that day and time attended it. Most of all, it was noted because ...read more

    Custody Battle

     | 1,308 views

    Today, more than ever before, the enemy of our souls is targeting our children. If we, as parents aren't careful to raise our children in the light of God's Love and Truth, satan will be happy to raise them in the shadows of immorality and apostasy.

    I found myself torn between two topics I felt led to preach on this week, but I believe the Lord used elder Jermaine’s last sermon to help me decide. I don’t know what part of that message resonated with you; but for me, the most powerful point that he brought out was this: Speaking of the great ...read more
