When God Speaks - Hear The Full Story It Is Great

Contributed by Richard Schwedes on Jan 24, 2022

As we engage with and listen to God, there are major blessings in listening to the full story God has for us. In this sermon we explore how the full story of God is not just guidelines and rules but it ultimately means Good News is part of our life.

Opening Text “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because He has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”  Luke ...read more

We like to keep things calm and happy in church, but one day Jesus really upset folks in his home synagogue. Are you ready to follow him?

You’ve heard me say before that I love The Chronicles of Narnia, written by C.S. Lewis. We read them over and over again to our children as they were growing up. Maybe a year ago one of them, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, came out in a very successful movie. That inspired me to read ...read more

"the Priority Of Preaching" ( Mark 1:14-15) Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 31, 2020

The preaching of the Word of God does not go out or return void, despite what we might witness or think. The Sacred Word continues to convict the heart and give new life to all who are dead in iniquity.

Fellow under-shepherd, I've been there. I know the frustration you feel when it seems that you preached your heart out this past Sunday. You fed your flock the food of the Word and gave the message God placed upon you. I know what it means to study for long hours, to pray, to compose the ...read more

Fulfilling The Prophets

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Aug 5, 2021

Jesus' Deity is confirmed by His fulfillment of many of the Old Testament prophecies about the coming Messiah. However, He did not fulfill them all and that was on purpose. The fulfillment of some of the prophecies is yet to come, and, they WILL be fulfilled.

Fulfilling the Prophets Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:9-12 “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Your Invisible Life Series

Embracing Grace

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 2, 2022

The vast majority of people do not "accept" Christ (Luke 4:24) but refuse the "favor" (grace) He offers (v. 19). God has sent Christ to offer His grace. We must embrace the grace offered in Christ. Luke shows us how.

There’s a key word in this passage that I would like to point out. It is not obvious in the English, so it’s a bit tricky. But the word ‘favor’ in verse 19 and the word ‘acceptable’ in verse 24 render the same Greek word, which is dektos. In fact, in the King James Version it is translated ...read more
