    Once we have come to know Christ, the rest of our life should be spent in pursuit of spiritual growth as disciple of Jesus Christ. Let’s look at two of many reasons why this is so.

    Evidence (2 Thessalonians 1:1-5) 1. I received a call from the Kokomo Perspective about my opinion regarding the movie, "The Golden Compass." 2. Although the movie is toned down from the books, the author of the series is an avid atheist with an anti-Christian agenda. 3. Many movies assume an ...read more

     | 4,193 views

    What an incredible creature, the locust. How has God used it to judge those who needed it?

    JOEL, JOHN, and the COMING LOCUSTS A. LOCUSTS in our Earth and in History Locusts have a locally prominent place in Scripture. You’ll see them at the beginning of the Bible story, a little past the middle, and at the end. When they show up, they take over the text, as in real life they ...read more

    Now You Know The Rest Of The Story

    Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Jun 6, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,884 views

    A sermon built around Paul Harvey's phrase: "Now you know the rest of the story." It looks at the story of Adam and Eve, our part in the story, and Jesus'.

    Today’s text is an interesting one. It doesn’t start at verse 26. It even doesn’t start at verse one of the chapter, nor does it even begin in chapter 22 on Maundy Thursday. It doesn’t even begin at chapter one, verse one of Luke. We’re not getting the whole story this morning. It is like ...read more

    The Parable Of The Sower Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,020 views

    Not everyone you share the gospel with will have hardened hearts. You should have hope. There are those who will receive the gospel for what it is, the words of eternal life.

    Why is it that one person responds to the gospel and is deeply moved and all they can think and talk about is sharing Christ with others while at the same time another person seems unmoved that Jesus died for them? You find one person moved to tears by the gospel and another cold and distant. Not ...read more

    This is a sermon on what we as christians are called to do.

    A Disciple’s Call Matt. 9:37-38 How many of us really understand what it means for us to be disciples for Christ? Every person who has ever called on Jesus to be his or her Lord and Savior is a disciple of Christ. And since we are disciples each one of us has rolls and positions in the body of ...read more

    Can You Take A Message?

    God is trying to talk to all of us, but will we heed the still, small voice of God?

    My boyfriend Brian and I spend a lot of time walking and hiking. We go all over the place – the woods, the beach, sometimes just around the block. Some of the trails are really flat and wide and easy to walk on. Others are rocky and steep. On almost every hike, we hit a stretch of trail ...read more

    The Word Is Not Void Series

    When we share our faith, we don’t know ahead of time whether or not the soil is fertile; but if we are faithful at broadcasting the seed of God’s Word, then if it happens to land in fertile soil, it will take root and begin growing.

    This evening’s sermon is entitled, “The Word Is Not Void,” and it’s taken from what is called “The Parable of the Growing Seed.” So, what message does this parable speak to believers? It appears to address the fear of failure in evangelism. Allow me to share from the church statistical ...read more

    This sermon talks about the need for persistence within the christian attitude.

    The other day I got a chance to watch one of my favorite movies, and that is Rocky. It’s a real spiritual movie. As I watched it, I thought, why is it that people love Rocky so much. Was it for his accent? His intelligence? No, it was because of his heart. When Rocky would fight, it didn’t ...read more

    The emerging culture wants to see whether or not we as Christians have faith we live by, more than just talk about.

    *Author’s note: A lot of my ideas came from Erwin McManus’ book "The Barbarian Way."* For the past two weeks, we have been talking about the church, what it looks like, what it does. For the next 3 weeks, we are going to put some skin on the bones so to speak. There has been one verse that has ...read more
