    seeks to answer what Jesus meant by, "It is finished!!"

    “It Is Finished!” John 19:23-30 David P. Nolte It’s always easier to start something than to finish it. My father-in-law started building a boat. It was about 18 feet long. It was to have an inboard engine. It was to have a small cabin. But he ran out of time before ...read more

    Love is not self seeking, irritable and does not keep records of wrongs.

    Introduction Do you know the problem of doing a series on 1 Corinthians 13, its not that you run out of material. While at the moment I’m covering 3 characteristics a sermon, I’ve seen series that cover one a sermon. I’m don’t repeat myself enough to bring that off though. It’s that you quickly run ...read more

    The Pretentious Free Life Series

    Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Aug 7, 2021
     | 1,627 views

    John wants all believers to know they have eternal life because they are precious in the sight of Jesus. He holds before us the key by which certainty becomes a faith response to all of life: Jesus Christ. John seeks to inspire Christians to cultivate greater intimacy with God.

    As we entered the COVID-19 crisis I envisioned Christians would support those in leadership positions, I cannot fathom the stress they have endured. I never envisioned the conflict we have witnessed, among Christians and churches. As seen on Facebook, many Christians become antagonistic toward ...read more

    The Advice That Can Divert You From God’s Will

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Feb 23, 2018
     | 3,856 views

    Looking at those who shouted at Christ while He was on the cross, this sermon explores how their demands would have led Christ directly away from doing God's will. How often does the advice the world gives us every day do the same thing?

    ADVICE FROM THE CROWD: “Good advice” from the world can divert you from God’s will for your life. - Mark 15:29-32. - While Jesus is on the cross, the crowd throws several suggestions His way. When you dig into them a little, it’s interesting to see how deeply counterproductive they are. There ...read more

     | 76,013 views

    The Bible says that if we realize that GOD IS WITH US it will radically change our lives. We will have the peace that the world does not have. Tonight we are going to briefly look at three things that will keep us living in the presence of God.

    Psalm 1:1-3 Introduction: Today men everywhere are searching for happiness, fulfillment, and love. They are searching in all the wrong places. Peace can only be found in the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Keep God In The Calculations

    Contributed by David Nolte on Jul 18, 2022
     | 3,398 views

    People often figure out what to add to, or subtract from, their lives. They try to multiply, or divide, pursuits in life. They often leave God out of the calculations.

    Perhaps it began with marks in the dirt, then progressed to piles of stones, and then somewhere along the line came the abacus, but men have always had a means of calculating debts, payments and other quantities. These days we have desk calculators, computers, smart phones and even watches that ...read more

    Explains the necessity of preparing for spiritual warfare, with emphasis on defensive armor. Explains some of the ways that Satan tries to make us ineffective and gives help for victory over these assaults.

    The Armor of God Last month, I preached about prayer and I issued a challenge for us to wage warfare on Satan’s kingdom in Boston. And it seems that we were all ready to accept that challenge. We have accepted the orders from our master to wage war, but now we need some practical instruction from ...read more
