Some of the parable will be very familiar to us all but we should not allow that familiarity to close our minds to hearing God speak to us again through His ...read more

    A Buried Treasure And A Pearl

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 19, 2018
     | 7,822 views

    Have you ever had to disguise a secret to keep someone from discovering it too soon? Well the parables are in some way like that. They tell of something that you know is important but you can’t quite figure it all out. The answers seem elusive.

    A Buried Treasure and a Pearl Matthew 13:44-46 44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. 46 ...read more

    Obedient Series

    Contributed by Rick Stacy on Dec 2, 2014
     | 18,912 views

    Obedience is like being pregnant. In the same way that it is impossible to be kind of pregnant, it is impossible to be kind of obedient.

    Fan… or Follower? A fan likes God when life is good. A follower obeys God when life is hard. We’ve been talking about what it takes to have a satisfied life. In week one I talked about how important it was to be a giver if you want to experience a satisfied life. Spending, getting, ...read more

    Paralysis By Analysis

    Contributed by Jack Warford on Apr 13, 2001
    based on 104 ratings
     | 4,640 views

    Many churches today have a paralysis brought on by analysis; they are so busy gathering and reporting numbers that their lambs and sheep are not being fed, and their flock is not being cared for. Resulting in spiritual paralysis.

    Why are we so fixated on counting numbers? Why do most pastors think of success as it relates to numbers? Nowhere in the Bible does Jesus tell us to count the sheep. He tells Peter if you love Me then you will feed my lambs, care for my sheep, and feed my sheep. Many churches today have a ...read more

    “I don’t have time.” “Be there in a minute!”...If you have used any of these or similar type statements, you know the experience of being in the TRAP – Time Restraints And Pressures

    Text: Verse 10 (The Message): "Figure out what will please Christ then do it." Last sermon I shared an overview of what stewardship is.

    Guidelines For Christianity: Blessed Are The Pure In Heart Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 26, 2015
     | 5,190 views

    Purity isn’t just being clean; it’s being single-minded and intentionally focused. In this instance, God wants us to be focused on His kingdom and righteousness.

    Tonight we’re going to look at the next attitude Jesus said we’re to have as His disciples. – “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” I wonder what that means, for they shall see God. Remember we said that “Blessed” means happy. We ...read more

    Do Not Envy

    Contributed by Jimmy Haile on Oct 13, 2015
     | 7,714 views

    What happens to us so many times is we look around at other people and they are not living right, they are rude, selfish, and disobedient to God and to the laws of this Country but they are being successful, being prosperous!

    Psalm 37:1-7-A Psalm of David. Do not fret because of evildoers, Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity. 2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb. 3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. 4 Delight yourself ...read more

    Obey The Gospel

    Contributed by David Owens on Mar 6, 2019
     | 7,951 views

    How does a person become a Christian? When is the moment when they move from being lost to being saved? What is the Gospel? How does a person "obey the gospel"?

    A. I want to start with a true story: Jorge Rodriquez was new to our country and did not speak English. 1. He had no lawyer the day he appeared in court for hitting a parked car while driving drunk. 2. He went before the judge with what he thought was his “trump card.” 3. Rodriquez approached ...read more

    Kingdom Of Heaven [part 3] Series

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jul 15, 2015
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,147 views

    As individuals and as a church where do we stand when it comes to being the leaven? Are we pursuing to build a strong communion with Jesus Christ or being lured by the leaven of legalism, liberalism and materialism?

    Introduction: This passage/verse may seem tricky because that was doubtless the reaction of the disciples when they heard this little story. Our Lord arrested them with this story and shocked them somewhat. When he told them that there was a woman who hid leaven in three measures of meal they must ...read more

    Who Will Roll Away The Stone? (Easter Sunrise 2015)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Apr 6, 2022
     | 2,037 views

    We seem to need the evidence of the stone being rolled away before we will believe. Is our fear creating distance between who we are and who God wants us to be?

    WHO WILL ROLL AWAY THE STONE? Text: Mark 16:1- 20 Did you notice who saw Jesus first? Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome were wondering who would roll the stone away. That stone can be thought of as a metaphor---a barrier between belief and unbelief. As ...read more
