    Love Like Jesus Loves

    Contributed by Gary Holt on Oct 25, 2025
     | 238 views

    Jesus calls His followers to:  demonstrate genuine love,  faithful obedience, and  fruitful lives as His friends.

    “Love like Jesus loves” John 15:12–17 A woman once decided to bake a cake for a special occasion: - She measured the flour, sugar, and oil perfectly. - She mixed in the milk and vanilla, - she poured the batter into the pan and slid it into the oven. But after 30 minutes, when she peeked ...read more

    Stop Telling God What To Do

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025
     | 149 views

    How Prayer Changes Us Before It Changes Anything Else. Prayer is not controlling outcomes but aligning with God’s heart, trusting Him fully, and joining His transforming work in people’s lives.

    There are phrases that sound almost sacrilegious in a prayer meeting. Not curse words. Just sentences that don’t fit the script Christian culture hands us. And the moment they come out of your mouth, the atmosphere shifts. Forks freeze above plates. Eyes widen. Someone nearly inhales a dinner ...read more

    Strong Enough To Serve

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 30, 2025
     | 163 views

    Jesus grants authority not for control but for compassion; strength flows through humility, and true greatness is found at the basin of service.

    There are few sights more moving than real authority wrapped in humility. It’s rare. We’re accustomed to power that postures, rank that separates, and leadership that needs to be noticed. Every now and then, we glimpse the beauty of someone who is both strong and gentle—someone who knows exactly ...read more

    When God Whispers Hope

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 2, 2025
     | 148 views

    Finding Strength When You Feel Like Giving Up. Believers overcome discouragement by facing reality with faith—trusting God’s goodness, and rediscovering hope in Christ.

    The Devil’s Favorite Tool There’s an old story told by preachers long before microphones and livestreams. It goes like this: One day the devil decided to have a garage sale. He laid out all his tools on a table—hatred, envy, jealousy, deceit, lust, pride, and lying. Each one was marked with a ...read more

    "Woe To You": Avoiding The Pharisees’ Mistakes About Faith Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 4, 2025
     | 345 views

    Jesus' criticism of the religious leaders provides several insights into what genuine faith is supposed to look like.

    WRONG WAY: Jesus rejected the Pharisees’ approach to faith. - Luke 11:37-38. - Jesus gets invited to dine with a Pharisee and He goes. That in itself is interesting: Jesus is engaging with those who are His most vociferous enemies. - Why did He do that? I think there are at least a couple ...read more

    Know The Truth

    A sermon to adults on really knowing where you stand with God

    John 8:20-36 11/9/25 a.m. “Know the Truth” The 8th Chapter of the Book of John is a well known Chapter because of the way it begins. In Verse 3, a woman is brought to Jesus accused of Adultery. We all know the story right? What do we do with her Jesus? Kill her? Let her go? Well, Jesus stoops ...read more

    Beware Of Ravenous Wolves Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 23, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,299 views

    Things are not always as they seem; and Jesus shares what to look for in identifying false prophets. These are false teachers, ravenous wolves, who seek to feed and save themselves, rather than feed and protect the flock.

    Allow me to begin with an illustration: As Little Red Riding Hood is heading to her grandmother’s house; a wolf comes along and finds out where she lives. He travels ahead, enters the house, and eats the grandmother! When Little Red Riding Hood arrives, she notices her grandmother’s unusual ...read more

    The Songs Of Ascent – Part 16 – Psalm 132 – What Are The Desires Of Your Heart? Do You Receive Them? Jesus Shall Reign Eternally On David’s Throne Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 29, 2024
     | 1,223 views

    We examine David’s great desire and our desires. What does it mean, “God will give you the desires of your heart?” We look at God’s dwelling place in Zion; the Lord Jesus who will reign from Jerusalem, that being an everlasting reign – “shall sit upon your throne forever” Psalm 132:12

    THE SONGS OF ASCENT – PART 16 – PSALM 132 – WHAT ARE THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART? DO YOU RECEIVE THEM? JESUS SHALL REIGN ETERNALLY ON DAVID’S THRONE [A].

    Faith In The Gospel Saves Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Mar 5, 2024
     | 998 views

    No reason to be ashamed of the Gospel since believing in it will save our souls.

    1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ.” [Once more we have a textual variation. The Textus Receptus says “of Christ”, the Nestle-Aland, no. But again not a serious matter. But this explains why your KJV/NKJV have “of Christ”, and other versions you might read, do not.] Notice in ...read more

     | 1,731 views

    This message is about the need to share the Gospel, even though at time our heavenly Father may need to compel us to do so. We should never be ashamed to share the powerful Gospel of Salvation!

    SPIT IT OUT! Text: Rom 1:16-17 (16) For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. (17) For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just ...read more

    As we approach the type of change or transformation God desires to do in our lives, there are three pieces of advice that God would like us to apply that will help us be better prepared and more ready not only for Jesus’s return, but also for what God wants to do in our lives.

    Making The Most Of Every Opportunity

    Contributed by David Owens on Mar 25, 2024
     | 2,586 views

    Where did the Easter holiday come from? How do Christians and Churches navigate holidays in a way that takes advantage of what is on people's minds without creating religious holidays and traditions that are not biblically authorized?

    A. One day an atheist was complaining to his Christian friend, “You Christians have your special holidays, such as Christmas and Easter and Jews celebrate their special holidays, such as Passover and Yom Kippur, but we atheists have no recognized special holidays. It’s just not fair!” 1. The ...read more
