    Good & Best In The Kingdom Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Aug 12, 2013
     | 5,284 views

    In Prioritizing the Word of God, we must be : 1) Devoted to the Best (Luke 10:38-39), without settling for and being: 2) Distracted from the Good (Luke 10:40-42).

    The word “priority” is a commonly used one today. Books and seminars purporting to teach people how get their lives in order by understanding and setting their priorities abound. As people’s lives become more frenetic, frantic, disjointed, and disconnected, they battle to stay ...read more

     | 7,303 views

    The virtues of goodness and kindness do not come to us naturally and just like the other virtues of Jesus we need to be taught them. Imagine if you will two small children wanting the same toy at the same time. You get the point. We have to be taught.

    Seeking the best for others Kindness and goodness 1 Peter 3:8-18 8 Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. 9 Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult.

    The Best Reason To Forgive

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Sep 17, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,622 views

    We have lots of good reasons to forgive others who hurt us, but the best reason to forgive is because God has forgiven us so much more. When we learn to appreciate the full extent of God's grace, we can practice giving away that grace to others.

    Matthew 18:21-35 The Best Reason to Forgive At some point, every one of us has been hurt, sometimes quite deeply. Maybe somebody here today is hurting. The question is, will you be able to forgive and let go, to move forward with your life? Forgiveness is a choice. You don’t have to forgive, but ...read more

    A chapel message for the funeral of an elderly woman who knew the Lord.

    As we gather in the presence of the Lord, I want to talk just a little bit about looking beyond our circumstances and looking into the future. Think along with me for a moment: That rusted wreck of a car in the junkyard was once new, shiny, sleek and desirable. Those clothes we threw away or gave ...read more

    The Church At Its Best Series

    Contributed by Jay Tigner on May 7, 2016
     | 5,222 views

    The church is at its best when the church is bold.

    Last week we took a few moments to study the first opposition the early church experienced. The big take away from our time together was that there is a spiritual dimension to life whereby Satan, the enemy of God, wages war against Him and all the good that He has given the world. The war that ...read more

    Beginning of a series looking at twelve followers of Jesus, their imperfections, and their victories. This sermon looks at the life of Simon Peter.

    Today we begin a series I have entitled “The Dirty Dozen.” Jesus was always being accused of attracting the worst kind of people. In fact, He said He came to deliver these folks. I thought it might be interesting to examine twelve of these people and discover if perhaps we have some of ...read more
