Enter through Christ, who is the door for the sheep. Trust in his name. Love him, and listen to the voice of the Good Shepherd. Know that you are forever secure behind the One who is the door.

Who does the Bible say that you are? Many beautiful comparisons and images portray our identity in Christ. Who are you? You are the apple of God’s eye. You are the holy bride of the Lord. You are his vineyard, and his body, and his temple. You are his inheritance and treasure. And you are his ...read more

Faith That Saves Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jul 19, 2021

What is saving faith? Is it something you say, feel, or think? No, saving faith is something you do. Faith is something that must produce action and must be practiced. That's what James says in James chapter 2.

"congratulations! It's A Savior!" Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jul 25, 2021

God continues to look for women and men like Mary and Joseph. People who will pursue obedience, whatever the cost. People who will trust God – even though the outcome seems unsure. God continues to raise up people for His purposes.

When I first proposed doing this, I know that it struck a lot of you … well, probably all of you … as something odd … out of the ordinary. When it came time, you weren’t sure what to do. Do we put up our traditional Christmas decorations? And, again, I’m sure that you found my answer a bit odd … ...read more

The Battle For The Heart

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Aug 1, 2021

The media is full of “heart-healthy” tips that we should follow, but even more importantly are the efforts we make to safeguard our spiritual hearts, or what Solomon calls the wellspring of our spiritual life. Learn more about this battle for our hearts in this Sunday’s message.

The Battle for the Heart Introduction Last week we looked at the battle for our minds, and I ended saying, “That while the battle we are in is spiritual, the primary ground that this battle is fought is in our minds.

Thank God, I Am A Child Of God Series

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Aug 2, 2021

John’s letter contains instructions, warnings, assurances and promises; however, the greatest thing he does is to affirm Christians’ uniqueness in Jesus. John writes in such a way that the confidence of God’s children is affirmed. John has highlighted several confidence builders in his letter:

We are a miracle of love! There are many things in life that cannot be explained apart from a loving creative God. One day, while walking around your beautiful, landscaped yard you observe something. First, you discover that something has been eating on some of your plants. Then you stand in ...read more

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Aug 7, 2021

This study raises questions that are extremely critical for being secure in our faith. They are not theoretical questions; they deserve an answer. The 5 questions I have raised fit under the two matters John holds before the reader: Belief and Love.

Turning to Janet, “Jan, did you turn off the stove?” Isn’t it amazing how a simple question often prompts a person to have serious doubt?

Let Me Remind You

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Aug 8, 2021

Reminders, we all need them. The main reason we need reminders is because we're forgetful. A synonym for remind is to jog the memory. That's what we need at times. Reminders were given in the bible. Let's take a look.

Make Sure You Are On The Lord's Side

Contributed by Perry Greene on Aug 12, 2021

Following Jesus is more than getting him on our side to cheer for our "team." It is making sure our "team" is on his side. That takes preparation.

Preparations: I read that in April, 1988 the evening news reported on a photographer who was also a skydiver. He had jumped from a plane along with several other skydivers and filmed the group as they individually dove out of the plane and opened their parachutes. As the video was being shown of ...read more

The Very Real Danger Of Spiritual Neglect Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 1, 2021

The issue of Christians who fall away from the faith was present in the New Testament, even as it is today. How can we prevent this from happening, and be vigilant against growing weary of following Christ ourselves?

Today we begin a new message series from the Book of Hebrews which I’ve entitled “The Faith that Endures.” It’s a sobering book because it addresses a sobering topic—an issue that I know that I would prefer not to admit that it exists. It addresses the issue of Christians who are tempted to fall ...read more

Stay The Course: The Remnant Church

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jan 2, 2021

Today's message is about our need to stay the course and go back to the basic of our faith and be that remnant that God has called the church to be. It also takes a look at the 5 basic tenants of the Protestant Reformation, or the 5 Solas.
