    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Apr 11, 2020
     | 4,376 views

    This looks at faithfulness. How important is it to be faithful to your post of duty? Whom shall God send? Can God count on you to standfast at your post of duty. Refuse to take the coward's way and run away? God needs you.

    What should faith look like in a church body?

    Faith Church Philippians 1:27-30 Many times over the years I am asked what kind of church do I want to pastor or what kind of church is Gap Creek.

    This sermon is about God's covenant to Abraham and how it is lived out in the following generations

    Chosen Genesis 50:15-26 The beginning of Genesis shows a continuing widening chasm between man and God.

And there is a major ...read more

    Shepherding the flock involves dealing appropriately with elders, women, widows, young men, Not harshly but with love.

     | 5,465 views

    Whether poor or rich or in the middle, all of us have to determine our standard of living. So who or what is determining your standard of living? Who or what is influencing your financial decisions and the life you’re living?

    Determining a Standard of Living 1 Timothy 6:7-13 There was a story which appeared in the news about a woman who had won the lottery. Before winning, she worked long, hard hours but earned just enough money to cover each month’s bills. The years of toil and worry had taken a toll on her face ...read more

    This message is about whether we can ready ourselves for the New Year, even with all the uncertainty. It looks at the time and opportunities we have, and knowing God's will through the filling of the Holy Spirit.

    Are We Ready Ephesians 5:15-18 Today’s message is to answer the question, “Are we ready for the coming new year?” And then, what are we expecting given the uncertainty surrounding this current pandemic? I heard a story of a son who had called his parents to wish them a Happy New Year. As he was ...read more

    Unafraid Of An Unknown Future

     | 11,034 views

    Life is filled with unknowns…and that’s never going to change. But there is a way to live life UNAFRAID OF AN UNKNOWN FUTURE. You see…in the unknown…there is Someone who can be known…Someone who desires to be known. Someone that when you know them…you can face an unknown future unafraid.

    Unafraid of an Unknown Future I have always enjoyed getting in the car and going for a drive with no real plan or idea where I was going. (Logging Roads on Mount Rainier / Back Roads of The Ozarks) In fact…sometimes I have gotten in the car and purposely tried to get lost. I enjoy taking new ...read more

    Anything that that pulls us a way from God is dangerous to our spiritual health and well-being. What will degrade our stewardship to God? Greed. The Bible calls it covetousness.

    Work is often derided in our culture. But the Bible has a lot to say about work, its dignity and what our work should be like.

    Bible Perspectives on Work Chuck Sligh September 5, 2021 This sermon is adapted from another source, but I have lost the source information.

    A Fresh Start!

     | 9,990 views

    Theme for coming year: 15 Be very careful, then, how you live-- not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. (Ephesians 5:15-17).

    A Fresh Start! Back in the 1960’s experts predicted that by the turn of the century technology would have taken over so much of the work we do that the average American work week would be only 22 hours long, & that we would work only 27 weeks a year. As a result, one of our biggest problems ...read more

    The Filling Of The Holy Spirit

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 24, 2021
     | 4,177 views

    Being controlled by the Spirit is not a dramatic or decisive one-time experience but it’s a daily, ongoing habit. There’s a kind of fullness of the Spirit that comes just simply obeying God and using the means of grace: Bible study, and prayer, and fellowship, obeying his will, etc.

    Today, I want to answer this question, “How can I tell if the Holy Spirit is controlling me?” We are not alone in asking this question as the renowned theologian Jonathan Edwards addressed the questions in his work, Religious Affections. In the book, Edwards moves through twelve “uncertain signs” ...read more

    Praying In Secret Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 4, 2022
     | 1,720 views

    Standing itself is interpreted as praying, for it is said, "and Abraham rose early in the morning to where he stood, "and there is no prayer but standing." though sometimes they prayed sitting, as David did, 2 Samuel 7:18

    Matthew 6:5-8 (NIV) 5 "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray ...read more
