    David’s response when confronted with his terrible sin was to run to the very one he had offended.

    Passage: Psalm 51 Intro: It’s hard to imagine a believer who had messed up worse than David. 1) life filled w/ God’s grace, David blew it. 2) lusted after and committed adultery with a good friend’s wife, Bathsheba, who got pregnant. 3) lured Uriah home to explain pregnancy, but Uriah ...read more

    When time is running out and the game is on the line there is often a new intensity that should have been there the whole game.

    July 2, 2006 Summer Series Third and Goal My American friends may want to call this one “Fourth and Goal”. Two of my three sons played football while they were growing up and over the years I learned to appreciate the many strategies and the hard work that goes into winning games. I still enjoy ...read more

    Jesus is the good shepherd and the owner not the hired servant who runs when the wolf attacks. You are as Jesus is.

    May the peace of the Lord be with you. TOPIC: THE HIRED SERVANT John 10:12-13King James Version (KJV) 12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the ...read more

    How often do we think we can run God's schedule better than He can?

    It’s All in the Timing John 7:1-9 Introduction Last week, we saw a decisive shift in the ministry of Jesus. Most of his “followers” had left Him because of the harshness of His message. They had wanted the free handouts, but were not interested in the scandalous yoke of ...read more

    Sexual immorality has run rampant in the world and YES in the CHURCH too, what can we do? FLEE!!!

    Internet pornographers target web sites and addresses that appear to be Christian. The enemy knows that porno is a HIGHLY addictive force in his arsenal of evil tricks.

    Where You Were Called

    Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jan 26, 2021
     | 1,259 views

    Be sure God has not called you to stay where you are before you run off to be used of Him.

    Is it not odd that people who believe in the omnipresence of God seek somewhere they feel closer to Him. He not the God of the oceans, the mountains or the fields. He is the God of the universe so wherever you are He is there. If you are not hearing from Him it is not a location problem. It is ...read more

     | 2,292 views

    In zeal, many run off to find the will of God when it was right where they were when He called them.

    1 Cor 7:24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God. When people get saved they often want to make changes in their life that are not necessary or God's will. In context, new converts were considering changes like being circumcised or uncircumcised. They wanted ...read more

    I Once Was Lost But Now I'm Found

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 2, 2025
     | 76 views

    Identity is not found by looking inward but revealed by God. We are lost in self but found when the Father comes running.

    I will never forget the moment when someone I loved looked at me and said, “I need to find myself.” I can still remember the quality of the light in the room, the strange hush in the air, the way those four words seemed to rearrange the furniture of my life in an instant. It wasn’t loud. It wasn’t ...read more

    A funeral message for a believer.

    Departure Time Departure times are funny things. Almost without fail my family sets departure times for trips and vacations yet fail to meet them. Why? Because there are too many things to be accomplished before we can leave. Errands need to be run, bills need to be paid, travel supplies must be ...read more

    In the loss of a loved one we need to surrender to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and let Him surround us with His love.

    SURROUNDED Heb. 12:1-2 INTRO: When we were little kids we would play army. We would come upon the “enemy” and yell, “Your surrounded – surrender or else!” God has a plan to surround you and will tell you to surrender or else.

    Jesus died for my sins and yours.

    Intro. Why a sermon like this? Various critics over the centuries have declared God is dead. They are wrong, but we must never forget, there was a day that Deity Died.

    As we move into a brand new year we often remember the previous year, but there are things that we would do well to forget.
