    We're called to live our faith genuinely and not hiddenly. To do that we need to know what our identity is as redeemed children of God.

    Sermon for September 15, 2024: “Live What You Believe!” Do you struggle to live what you believe? If you are human, you do. What we believe in is...must be distinct, higher and greater than how we live in the day to day. If I ask you what you believe, and you say: “I believe I’ll have another ...read more

    The Traits Of Token Religion

    Contributed by Donnie Martin on Jul 17, 2009
     | 2,788 views

    Just because someone attaches the word "worship" to a religious service, doesn’t mean that the term fits. This was often the case with Israel’s religous rituals. Sadly, it is often true of many church services in our day.

    The Traits Of Token Religion Text: Phil.1: 3-11 Intro: Today I want to focus on the thought mentioned in the second half of Philippians 1: 10. Paul tells the Philippians that he was praying that their love for Christ might continue to grow, resulting in knowledge, discernment, and sincerity. ...read more

    The sedate, stately ritual of the evening sacrifice was now suddenly shattered by his loud cries of joy and praise. And you can’t rightly blame them. It is God’s desire that all His children experience this joy.

     | 5,295 views

    In this period of 400 years when the Lord chose to remain silent, everything in the temple continued as it always had. The rituals of worship, sacrifices, feasts and festivals were carried out with regularity, but the dismal part was that the Lord was not in it. Why?

    Repent - The first message of Lord Jesus Matthew 3:1-2:“In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” (RSV) Matthew 4:17: “From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” ...read more

    Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 4, 2025
     | 400 views

    There's only one true Jesus, but there are many false concepts of Jesus whom people follow. Do you follow a religious Jesus who requires rituals and works for salvation. Then, think again.

    As we mentioned in our bulletin this morning, we begin a new series of messages today entitled "Meet the Real Jesus?' And I'm going to begin this morning by asking each of you here, "Which Jesus do you follow?" Now, yes, I'm anticipating some questions or comments which ...read more

    In His victory we are made victorious, even when we suffer unjustly, and for His cause.

    THE VICTORY OF CHRIST’S SUFFERING. 1 Peter 3:13-22. Who will harm us if we do that which is good (1 Peter 3:13)? The question is rhetorical. If God be for us, who can be against us (Romans 8:31)?

    Throughout history, great men have confidently prophesied a coming spiritual awakening. God's miraculous works will be so evident that even skeptics will be amazed, leading to a widespread turning towards God and exposing hypocrisy for what it is: worked-up flesh.

    We all agree that at salvation the Holy Spirit indwells us; so why does Paul exhort us to ’be filled with the Spirit’? (#7 in The Christian Victor series)

    “So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
