    Standing Firm In The Last Days

    Contributed by Ronald Moore on Feb 7, 2025
     | 772 views

    Paul describes a society that has turned away from God, where people are consumed with self-interest, greed, pride, and ungodliness. His words sound eerily familiar, as if they were written for our own time. But they also contain guidance and encouragement for us as faithful Christians.

    “But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, ...read more

    Go! And Live A Holy Life Series

    Contributed by Dean Courtier on Feb 14, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 757 views

    The Christian life is a call to holiness. In a world that promotes self-indulgence, compromise, and sin, God calls us to live differently. The sacrifice of Christ demands a response: a life set apart for Him. But what does holiness mean, and how do we live it out daily?

    Go! And Live a Holy Life Introduction: The Christian life is a call to holiness. In a world that promotes self-indulgence, compromise, and sin, God calls us to live differently. 2 Corinthians 5:15 (NLT) declares: "He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer ...read more

    Message In 1peter – Number 6 – Follow My Example Of Suffering And Walk Accordingly (But Not The Writer’s Example) – 1peter 2:21-23 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 24, 2023
     | 1,241 views

    This message looks at examples, especially Christ's example in suffering. Committed Christians take up their crosses and follow Christ, their example. Our Lord has set the example in suffering. That will lead to persecution/suffering when we deny self and walk in His footsteps.

    MESSAGE IN 1PETER – NUMBER 6 – FOLLOW MY EXAMPLE OF SUFFERING AND WALK ACCORDINGLY (BUT NOT THE WRITER’S EXAMPLE) – 1Peter 2:21-23 {{1Peter 2:21 “For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps,”}} [A].

    Godly humility, a theme woven deeply into the fabric of Scripture, represents a fundamental aspect of the Christian life. Unlike worldly humility, which often centers on self-deprecation or false modesty, godly humility is rooted in acknowledging God's sovereignty and our dependence on Him.

     | 21,710 views

    How often are you tempted to think you’re more important than you really are? We like to be the center of attention. We like to promote ourselves. We like to receive praise from other people. We like the applause of others. It causes us to be more concerned about self than God and others.

     | 8,483 views

    This sermon is a celebration of the armed forces in the united states and a demonstration of the love and sacrifice that the military live in their service to our nation. It also shows the love and sacrifice that Jesus made for us. Based on Rom 12:9-12

    Introduction Today is a special day in our church calendar. It’s not a holiday. It’s not a specific celebration of any historical event, person or location. It’s a day we set aside to honor and remember the members of the Armed Forces who have served our nation so well. We ...read more

     | 7,311 views

    Learning more about God is the greatest intellectual pursuit of the human mind. The subject of God is transcendent … as vast as infinity. But studying God, to me, is the most satisfying, uplifting, edifying, expanding, and glorious task we could ever undertake.

    Violating Honest, Kind Communication Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 19, 2018
     | 3,305 views

    We have all misused our tongues, and perhaps created much damage. As disciples of Jesus Christ, we don’t want to be like the natural, unregenerate person; we want to live on a higher level, one that honors God. Let’s take a look at 3 very familiar violations of honest, kind communication.

    Violating Honest, Kind Communication (Proverbs 26:17, 20-26) 1. Most of us will enjoy a big Thanksgiving feast! BTW, What do you get if you divide the circumference of a pumpkin by its diameter?

    Baptism pictures the transformation that has taken place in the life of the child of God. How can we, then, continue to live as thought we were dead? To live as the world lives is to attempt to dig up the corpse we buried!

    “What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in ...read more

    We can experience God's mercy when we understand the importance of becoming a living sacrifice. His mercy frees us from sin, inspiring us to relinquish our rights and serve the one who sacrificed His life for us.

    We all have troubles in our life. We have times when things just seem to go against us, but it is at these times...when our faith is tested..that we must be strong. Instead of turning to self or turning to man...we need to turn to Jesus.

    Liberty provides us freedom. Freedom allows us to excel, to take risks, to achieve great things for God. Often though, we want to try and extend the reach of our liberty in Christ, and in doing so, we actually lose liberty and place our self in the cont
