    Do you really know yourself and why you are speading the message?

    You must also know the entreater. While it is ultimately the work of the Holy Spirit to get people to listen and respond. We are the package for the message.

    The Lord's Supper And Feet Washing

    Contributed by Joe De Leon on Dec 14, 2013
     | 6,156 views

    This is an experience that if we do this, He says we would be blessed... I for one do not want to miss out on any blessing the word of God tells me that I can receive.

    Lord’s Supper I. An act of Surrender (23) For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread; (24) and when He had given thanks, He broke it, and said, "This is My body, which is for you; do ...read more

    Jonah as both an unwilling and angry prophet, filled with self-pity.

    Over the edge. That is where so many employers seem to be pushing their workers these days. Perhaps you have felt it yourself. You work hard, sometimes too hard in what seems like 24/7 and even then the work just never stops. Your job drains you, mentally, physically and even spiritually. You put ...read more

    Let Go Of Fear Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Oct 19, 2014
     | 9,268 views

    Fear will steal your joy and keep you from doing all that God wants you to do. So, what are we supposed to do with our fear? Let it Go!

    Fear will be your enemy. And that statement seems to set the tone very early in the movie. If there seems to be one overriding emotion in the movie “Frozen” it is fear. The King and Queen are fearful for their daughters and so the girls are separated and grow up alone. Elsa is ...read more

    1- I will watch my mouth 2- I will watch my days 3- I will watch my hope

    INTRO.- I will watch my ways. Why would we ever want to watch our ways in life? One of the things my dad used to say to me was, “Pay attention to what you’re doing.” It pays to pay attention to whatever you are doing and especially, when you are driving an automobile. We ...read more

    Jesus teaches of the ways people receive the truth.

    A pastor once preached on this passage: A mother of 12 came forward, concerned that her life has not produced any eternal fruit. She told the pastor, “I am not sure that with my responsibilities, I have time to do anything of value to God.” The pastor tried to comfort the lady, prayed ...read more

    Give Your Life Away Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 5, 2022
     | 2,111 views

    There are at least four core commitments for Christian living: (1) abide in the Word, (2) pray your heart out, (3) be killing sin, and (4) give your life away.

    Our lives tell a story—a story about who we are and what we value, where we’ve come from and where we’re going, what we want and what we’ll do to get it. And what most of us do is, we make “the story” of our lives about us. But God makes “the story” of our lives about Christ. Someone has said, ...read more

     | 4,166 views

    To our cry, “How long O Lord?” comes the message of Obadiah, that God is in control and that He is working out His will and purpose through it all, or what He says through Obadiah at the very end of this letter, “The kingdom shall be the Lord's.” (Obadiah 1:21)

    The Kingdom is the Lord’s Book of Obadiah Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScnGFMIzeVY As Christians we’ll have enemies, and our spiritual maturity can be measured by the kind of enemies we have. What we need to make sure of, however, is that our enemies are the same as God’s enemies, and ...read more

    Churches also can look good on the outside, but when you “taste” what they're doing, you find it's only a facade. That was the case with the church in Laodicea.

    How many Coca-Cola drinkers do we have here today? How many Pepsi drinkers? How many of you like Dr Pepper? How many of you like Mr Pibb? Have you ever been in a restaurant and ordered a Dr Pepper and they say they don't sell Dr Pepper but they have Mr Pibb and try to pass it off as the same ...read more

    In the previous sermon we looked at Romans 8:1-4, and we learned some marvelous things about our new position in Christ Jesus.

    We learned that while we ALL were once IN ADAM, something happened when heard of salvation in Jesus: • We recognized how dreadful our sins were, and repented of them and trusted in Christ • We were immediately justified by the blood of Christ And now we are no longer IN ADAM, but we are IN CHRIST. ...read more

    The Smiths

     | 2,383 views

    Demetrius “Smith” represents someone whose judgement is clouded by selfish desires. Alexander "Smith" represents someone who doesn't want to be alone in his sin; who makes it a point to cause other Christians to stumble.

    I’ve entitled our message for this evening, “The Smiths.” Have you heard about the Smiths? Take for instance Zipporah Smith. “Who’s that?” you may say. Well, her husband, Moses, was used by God to deliver the Israelites from their bondage in Egypt. You see, Zipporah was a Kenite, and the word ...read more

    No matter how much we feel that we do for Christ, the question is, "Can I Do More?"

    The film Schindler's List chronicled the heroic efforts of a German industrialist named Oskar Schindler.
