    We all want to live life to the fullest, yet we seem to be held back. What cages us in? What locks us down? What fences us in? It is a fight to get out, but victory is possible!

     | 13,407 views

    In an attempt to give meaning to our lives, we "thrash" -- do something impulsive that has to be acknowledged as sin and has inescapable consequences. But as we confess our sin God "threshes" us, dividing the positive from the negative, so that we recove

    The longer we live, the more we have to be thankful for. Isn’t that true? The longer we live, the more blessings we receive, and therefore the more we have to be thankful for.

    A Fractured Fairy Tale

     | 7,460 views

    If there one passage that defines this culture, it is Matthew 7:1-5. Since the Supreme Court legalized same sex marriage, this passage has been pushed to the forefront. This message examines what Jesus meant when he said, "Do not judge."

    A Fractured Fairy Tale Introduction When I was growing up, there was an older cartoon show that I enjoyed watching. It was the Rocky and Bullwinkle show. And while I thought the conflict between the heroes and the villains (Boris and Natasha) was funny what I found really clever was the ...read more

    Adam and Eve chose to Sin. And when we sin, it’s our choice. It’s our fault. But why is it important that I admit my own fault?

    OPEN: (We opened with a Dorito’s commercial that has Eve attempting to share the forbidden fruit with Adam and he rejects her offer – holding up a Dorito’s Bag and saying “I’m good.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHSjpezHHcw) Now, I liked that.

    Being good, will not make you a spiritual man or a spiritual woman. Good people don’t go to heaven. Good people are not spiritual people.

    Who is the rich man? Who is the rich man in this passage this morning? YOU are the rich man. You are the rich man in this passage this morning. To us, when we read this passage, to us, the rich man is always someone who has more money than we do. As a result, we are able to step outside the ...read more

    “The Gospel vs. Religion” Romans 1:8-17 September 14, 2008 Religion is a dud; the gospel is dynamite. I did a little fact-checking on dynamite this week: • It is not the same as “TNT”; in fact, the only similarity between them is that they both ...read more

    The dark account of David's sin with Bathsheba serves as a warning for all who would please God to this day.

    Sermon # 2 - Choose The Truth Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 26, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 419 views

    In a world that thrives on lies, as children of God we must decide to follow Jesus who is the Truth. If we do not stand firm on the truth, we will find ourselves compromise with the lies of Satan, and making choices that are contradictory to the true values that God has set for us in His word.

    We read in Philippians 4:8, Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. (ESV) In the above mentioned verse ...read more

    Sermon # 13 - Why Have You Done This? Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 1, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 972 views

    When the men on the ship realized that Jonah was the cause for their serious predicament they asked him, ‘Why have you done this?’ May we as children of God not do anything that will dishonor God and be a hindrance to those outside the church.

    We read in Jonah 1:10, Then the men were terrified. They knew that he was running away from the LORD, because he had told them. They asked Jonah, "Why have you done this?" (GW) The prophet Jonah who received the word of God to go to Nineveh, disobeyed God, and undertook a voyage on a ...read more

    Jonah’s disobedience brought untold troubles on all the crew aboard that ship. The church too must be wary of those who are divisive and must strive hard to maintain unity, integrity continuing in prayer and being obedient to God.

    We read in Jonah 1:11, Then they said to him, "What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us?" For the sea was raging and growing more tempestuous. (AFV) The events that preceded this verse were that the ship on which Jonah voyaged was faced with a severe tempest. The mariners ...read more
