     | 144 views

    The sermon urges us to turn from self-reliance and busyness, remembering that our true purpose and security are found in knowing and seeking God Himself.

    Friends, I’m glad you’re here. Life runs fast, doesn’t it? The calendar fills, the inbox swells, the deadlines line up like dominoes. We build our days with bricks of busyness—palaces of productivity, towers of tasks, fortresses of to-do lists. And yet, there comes that quiet hour when the house ...read more

     | 226 views

    Following Jesus means surrendering our comfort and control, embracing self-denial, and trusting that true life and reward are found in obedient discipleship with Him.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile on our face and a storm in our chest. The calendar is crowded, the heart is heavy, and the questions are louder than ever. You’ve been faithful, you’ve prayed, you’ve pressed on—and still, there are days when following Jesus feels like walking uphill with a ...read more

    True peace and acceptance come not from self-righteousness, but from humble, honest confession and receiving God’s mercy through Jesus Christ.

    Some of us came in today with a smile that hides a sigh. Calendars are crammed, minds are noisy, and hearts carry the kind of weariness you can’t quite name. You’ve been faithful, you’ve been trying, and you’re hoping heaven hears. Others of us slipped in quietly, feeling a little out of place, ...read more

    True acceptance with God comes not from self-righteousness or performance, but from humble, honest confession and receiving His mercy through Jesus Christ.

    Some of us walked in today with weary hearts and distracted minds. The week has been loud. Deadlines and dishes, headlines and heartaches—so many voices bidding for your attention. But in the quiet place where you talk to God, what matters most? How do you come to Him? With polished phrases and ...read more

    Grant Me Wisdom Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 7, 2022
     | 2,914 views

    God, grant me the wisdom to know the difference … and, as we shall see, therein lies the problem. I don’t know about you, but I usually don’t know the difference and I usually do the most harm to myself and to others when I think that I do.

    [This is the third sermon on Reinhold Niebuhr's "The Serenity Prayer," asking God to grant us the wisdom to know what to accept and what to change. This was also preached on Communion Sunday, hence the lead up to Communion at the end.] Wisdom. What is wisdom? Well, let’s ...read more

     | 26,762 views

    "Love One Another" is repeated again and again throughout the pages of the New Testament. Why dwell so heavily on this command when it would seem there is so much more to learn about God?

    OPEN: "That’s marvelous, having a lion and monkey in the same cage," said the visitor to a small zoo. "How do they get along?" "Okay, usually," answered the zookeeper. "Occasionally they have a disagreement, and we have to get a new monkey." APPLY: Now, why do they need to get a new monkey? ...read more

     | 30,027 views

    This sermon ties the law of reaping and sowing from Galatians to Jesus words of sowing judgmental-ism and self-righteousness vs. sowing charity and forgiveness and the fruit of both

    You Reap what you Sow Ill. Late one summer evening in Broken Bow, Nebraska, a weary truck driver pulled his rig into an all-night truck stop.

    Keep God In The Calculations

    Contributed by David Nolte on Jul 18, 2022
     | 3,531 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

    The Tower Of Babel Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 22, 2022

    The Tower of Babel was a man centered plan. God supernaturally confused the languages and scattered the people. There are over 7,000 languages spoken in the world today. Pentecost was the Tower of Babel in reverse! The Holy Spirit comes to reach those separated from God by sin.

    Someone says, what are you saying? I can’t understand you. You are talking nonsense. Stop babbling. You know what they are referring to right? It is a reference to what happened in Genesis Chapter 11 at the tower of Babel. The story of the Tower of Babel is uber significant. It explains the ...read more
