    The Call To Discipleship Part 1: Not For The Faint-Hearted Series

    Contributed by Doug Fannon on Aug 9, 2021
     | 3,471 views

    No where in Scripture does it say that being a disciple of Jesus will be easy. All Scripture references are from the NASB.

    In this sin sick world we live in, the prevailing attitude is “What’s in it for me?” Even in the church, people choose their church as to what will benefit me the most. Where can I get my needs met. Rarely do you hear of people who feel called to a church because of what they can contribute vice ...read more

    Love Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jun 19, 2021
     | 4,901 views

    We often think of love as some syrupy, sweet, tingly, sentimental, ooey, gooey feeling. Biblical or divine love, however, is a self-sacrificing, caring commitment that shows itself in seeking the highest good for the one being loved.

    According to the musical wisdom of John, Paul, George, and Ringo ... otherwise known as "The Beatles" to us older folks … “All you need is love, love … love is all you need.” Well … that and food … and shelter … and air … and sleep … Love is literally in the air. You hear that word ...read more

    Jesus On Trial

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Mar 25, 2021
     | 2,708 views

    Jesus stepped into a maelstrom and was brought before a court that was losing some of its power and was uncertain about its future given Rome’s growing power and the increasing fear and rising tension amongst the Jewish people.

    I love the Gospel of Mark … well, I love all the gospels … but Mark reminds me of Joe Friday from the 1950s TV series “Dragnet.” Some of us older folks remember Sargent Friday’s famous signature line: “Just the facts.” Mark’s gospel is terse and to the point. He gives us “just the facts” and ...read more

    Why do evil people seem to prosper, while good people suffer? Is there any justice? Let’s realize that payday is coming, for good and evil. Let’s discuss carrying our cross in Matthew 16:21-28.

    Circumstances will always try to dictate doubt and unbelief every time. Remember this...”Faith isn’t swayed by circumstances, however circumstances are always swayed by Faith in God’s Abilities!”

    I’ll Take You There We live in a world where communication is key, its very important to all of us. An event, thought or idea can be instantaneously can be sent and received around the world.

    This is the 26th sermon in a series we're doing on the Gospel of John. In this sermon we look at the dividing line between Christians and the rest of the world, and how the seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman are distinguished.

    How many of you happened to be here a few weeks ago when I showed the State Farm commercial as the opening illustration?

    The Spirit Of Fear

    Contributed by Brian Harrell on Nov 29, 2021
     | 5,744 views

    Let's talk about one of the most commonly shared emotions: fear. Fear will cause us to be beaten down, defeated, have drooping shoulders, shuffling feet, unsmiling, critical, distrusting kind of people. How do you know if you are living with the toxin of fear?

    This morning I want to talk about one of the most commonly shared emotions in this building today. It is fear. If there's anything that I think that this pandemic has created and spread more than the disease itself, it is fear. Life is scary. The world is scary Fear will cause us to be beaten ...read more
