The Cure For Conflict (Pt. 2) Series

In the second half of Romans 14, Paul challenges the Christians at Rome to not put any stumbling blocks in front of other believers, but to do only what leads to building others up.

To build our lives on anything less than a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ is the very height of madness.

Accept No Subsitutes

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jul 28, 2019

Paul's advice to the Colossians is still appropriate for us today: Build your faith on Jesus alone, reject any subtitutes or add-ons, and stay away from unhelful squabbles and judgments over non-essentials.

Gideon - Part 3 Series

Murder He Spoke Series

Contributed by Larry Turner on Oct 23, 2014

Jesus was well known for upsetting people's "apple carts." In this sermon He challenges us to go beyond the obvious sin of murder and to dwell on anger, judgment, and provoking others.

Don’t you hate it when someone comes along and “upsets the apple cart?” This saying originated sometime in the 1800’s. The idea behind it was that a farmer had carefully loaded his cart with apples to take and sell at the market place. However, some clumsy oaf would come ...read more

Don't You Get It

Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Sep 5, 2015

Hopefully this sermon would get people to look at themselves and realize that we should reserve judgment about others and the congregation would begin to realize that their relationship with Christ is what really matters.

Don’t you get it? Romans 2: 17 – 23 I. Are we judging people by a higher standard that we ourselves don’t live up to, do we tend to take on an attitude of privilege or perhaps a holier than thou attitude? 1. We may think this text is just for the Jews • In Galatians Paul ...read more

Jesus has just declared that the Father and He are one, one in intention and one in mind and heart. The Jerusalem crowd that Jesus has been preaching to heard His words as blasphemy, and that offense carried the death penalty.

Friday of the Fifth Week in Lent 2025 Today’s Gospel reading from St. John continues the narrative we heard yesterday from an earlier chapter. You may recall that incident.
