    Our look at the twelve apostles continues with the “ inner circle”, or most notable in the Scriptures due to their words and work.

    The list of the twelve ordinary men commissioned by the Lord Jesus Christ to preach the Gospel always lists Simon Peter as the first due to his character, his devotion to Jesus, and was given the task of being the leader of the twelve and be both the pastor and teacher to the “ sheep” and “lambs” ...read more

    This message preceded the dedication and send off of all the shoeboxes this congregation prepared for Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child. All Scripture references are from the NASB.

    These shoeboxes, packed with much love and prayer, will be shipped out quite literally to the ends of the earth. In the past we have had shoeboxes, that we have packed, to the Philippines, Madagascar, Burkina Faso, Mali, Nigeria, Central African Republic, Cameroon and many other places. Where ...read more

    Have you ever wondered, why do the righteous suffer? In various portions of Scripture we find that suffering is the result of Adam’s original sin which plunged the human race into misery. However, in this portion of Scripture Paul teaches us why it is n

    Some guys think that shopping is somehow sinful, but I’m here to tell you that shopping is scriptural. As a matter of fact, the Lord commands us to go shopping in Scripture and to buy at least 3 things.We better find out what they are!

    Jesus’ teaching and ministry was a way of reframing the use of Scripture. The Scribes had made notes that were superimposed on Scripture. Jesus holds before us a new way of living life. One based on mercy, grace, and love. Jesus modeled the heart and intent of God.

    As a child we would attempt to salvage anything and everything. The house I remember from early childhood was an interesting building. When my mother wanted to clean the floor, she would pour water on the floor, scrub it with a broom, and the water would drain through the floor. The first home ...read more

    This morning our text will be a very familiar piece of scripture for most of us here this morning. But why it may be familiar, I would make the argument that most of us would be quilty of not putting it into practice. And this piece of scripture is actually found 5 times in the New Testament.

    I hope you enjoyed our journey through 1st John over the last several weeks, as we examined the Genuine Christian, I know that I did. However, since we finished the book last week, I guess it was a good time to finish the series. This morning our text will be a very familiar piece of scripture for ...read more

    Acts 1 reveals three divine promises that surpass any other promise in Scripture. Do you know what these promises are? And do you understand their significance to us?

    Please stand with me as we sing the hymn "Standing on the Promises." Sing along with me: "Standing on the promises that cannot fail When doubts and fears assail, By the living Word of God, I shall prevail Standing on the promises of God." As humans, we often struggle to keep our promises. We ...read more

    God’s Signs For The Masses

    God makes the impossible in our lives possible when we act on His word and trust Him for what only He can do. As the old hymn says, “It is no secret what God can do. What He’s done for others, he’ll do for you”.

    The Gospel reading which we just heard from John 6:1-21 is full of rich imagery. Although the story of the feeding of the 5,000 appears in all four Gospels, John’s version has a slightly different meaning. In fact, John includes only seven of Jesus’ miracles in his Gospel, and in each ...read more

    Our scripture this morning focuses on 3 characters, a deacon named Philip, a man driving a chariot from Ethiopia and an angel. And all 3 of them play a very important role in the story. One more thing and that is the scripture. All four of these are necessary for this story to take place.
