    All Prepared

    Contributed by Paul Davidson on Jan 26, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 12,094 views

    Jesus warns us to assess the genuineness of our faith and be prepared for His return. Do we look like the Church, but are devoid of the Holy Spirit? Instead of lives transformed by the power of Christ, are our lives more like performance art? Jesus is coming at any moment! Are you prepared?

    INTRODUCTION Do you agree that in God’s master plan, there is no such thing as “coincidence”? A few weeks ago, your pastor asked if I would be willing to preach today. Not only did I tell him “Yes!” on the spot, but I also told him that I knew exactly what I wanted to preach. You see, God had ...read more

    Who was this young man who ran away into the night? What's his story and what can it teach us?

    OPEN: When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high. And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit -- Rest if you must, but don't you quit. ...read more

    A New Future Series

    Contributed by Stephen Sheane on Jul 4, 2021
     | 3,796 views

    Because of Easter we have a new future. How do we know that the resurrection is true? Because of the external testimony,. the empty tomb, the expensive toll and everlasting transformation.

    EASTER – A NEW FUTURE Does anyone have a cross necklace on right now? Have you ever thought about what the cross really is? Originally the cross was a tool Rome used to execute its criminals. It was not just a form of execution; it was a form of torture and humiliation. The victim usually ...read more

    The Beginning Of Wisdom Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Oct 2, 2022
     | 3,541 views

    This is the opening sermon for a series based on The Book of Proverbs. I thought it would be a good idea to start a series based on the preeminent book of wisdom literature by discussing and defining what the book means by "wisdom" starting with the first chapter of The Book of Proverbs.

    [Hold up Bible.] I love this book. You’ve heard me refer to it as “The Owner’s Manual.” It contains stories, history, poetry, adventure, drama. It contains hymns. It contains theology, philosophy, and it contains wisdom. Every book in the Bible is there for a reason. Believe it or not, not ...read more

    Zechariah 9:9 predicts the First Advent of Christ and specifically his Triumphant Entry on the first Palm Sunday. Message expounds this promise and its fulfillment in the New Testament.

    Intro Our previous study concluded in Zechariah 9:8 with God supernaturally protecting Jerusalem from a brutal attack by Alexander the Great. Now in verse 9 Zechariah declares the coming of Messiah and the manner in which he will come. His manner contrasts dramatically with that of Alexander. Like ...read more

     | 171 views

    God’s constant presence brings comfort, strength, and help in every circumstance, assuring us that we are never alone or unsupported, no matter our struggles.

    Some mornings our hearts wake up to a thunderstorm that the forecast never saw. The headlines hiss. The bills pile up. The diagnosis calls your name. The calendar feels crowded, yet the soul feels empty. Parents wonder if they’re doing enough. Singles wonder if they’ll always eat dinner with the ...read more

     | 78 views

    God’s presence and grace sustain us through suffering, assuring us that we are never alone or abandoned, no matter how fierce the trials we face.

    Some weeks feel like a parade of pressures. The inbox pings, the headlines howl, the household needs help now, and your heart whispers, “I’m tired.” Then, almost on cue, the old accuser nudges in with noise of his own—fear, shame, cynicism—like a lion pacing the fence line, waiting for a gap in the ...read more

     | 130 views

    Jesus lovingly exposes our self-sufficiency, invites us to deeper dependence on Him, and offers restoration, hope, and true riches for our lukewarm hearts.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile for the foyer and a sigh for the soul. Bills on the counter, deadlines on the calendar, questions on the heart. And yet, here we are, gathering around a Letter from Jesus to an ancient church in a city called Laodicea—a church with polished doors and tepid ...read more

     | 133 views

    True acceptance with God comes not from self-righteousness or performance, but from humble, honest confession and receiving His mercy through Jesus Christ.

    Some of us walked in today with weary hearts and distracted minds. The week has been loud. Deadlines and dishes, headlines and heartaches—so many voices bidding for your attention. But in the quiet place where you talk to God, what matters most? How do you come to Him? With polished phrases and ...read more
