    Why Deny? Series

    Contributed by Tim Smith on May 12, 2014
     | 5,613 views

    We have been inundated with the message of self-indulgence, so why should we deny ourselves?

    Why Deny? Matthew 6:16-18 The Sermon on the Mount is a guide for how to live as followers of Jesus. Specifically, Jesus is teaching us that we have to lose some things in our religion so we can get back to a relationship with God. Religion focuses on religious practices, rules, observances, and ...read more

    Who Do You Trust ?

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Dec 1, 2018
     | 7,821 views

    This sermon begs us to look at ourselves and decide who we really trust. Are we putting our trust in ourselves or other people or do we put our trust and Hope in God

    We all have to put our trust in someone or something. It might be God, or it might be another person, or it may be material things. We all give some sort of trust to others we trust that the car we are meeting will stay on there side of the road. But that’s not the kind of trust that we are ...read more

     | 4,663 views

    Have you ever had a moment when – maybe it was a screaming child, or a rude bullying driver cutting in on you, or a whole succession of unfortunate events happening – but whatever it was, it drove you to the brink of your endurance? That's when you need self-control!

    WHEN YOU’RE ON YOUR LAST NERVE Gal. 5:22 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. All of us can probably think of some time in our life where we went too far. 2. An elderly lady, driving a big, new, expensive car, was preparing to back into a parallel parking space when suddenly a young man in a small sports ...read more

     | 4,193 views

    Over the next few weeks we are going to look at how we can stop spending so much of our time focusing on everyone else and getting down to the nitty gritty of cleaning up our own mess…

    Intro: How many of you grew up when having a big front porch was the way houses were built…they were built that way because in that time people were open to having friends just drop in and they would sit on the front porch and talk…in fact I can call my dad and 7 out of 10 times he is on the front ...read more

    Doing The Right Thing

    Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Aug 25, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,860 views

    Why do some people seem to have more in, from and through their relationship with God? Because they trust in God’s capabilities more than their capabilities and they practice the faith and the self discipline of the word until!

    Galatians 5:22-23 MSG But what happens when we live God’s way? He brings gifts into our lives, much the same way that fruit appears in an orchard—things like affection for others, exuberance about life, serenity. We develop a willingness to stick with things, a sense of compassion in the heart, and ...read more

    Go The First Ten Feet

    Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Apr 8, 2017
     | 4,701 views

    Self-denial is to be lifted with Jesus—and the first ten feet of his ascent is on the Cross. You cannot reach for Jesus without letting go of the things you’re holding onto. Make it your passion to go the first ten feet with Jesus.

    "When I am lifted-up," Jesus said, "I will draw all people to myself." And just in case you are tempted to interpret this up-lifted status to mean something glitzy, John sticks in a little commentary in verse 33 to make clear that the "lifting up" Jesus had in mind was the cross. Ultimately Jesus ...read more

    Psalm 90 teaches us to number our days so that we might finish well.

    As we get ready to enter into the new year, many of us are busy making some New Year’s resolutions. While I’ve certainly made my share of resolutions over the years, I no longer do that. Probably, like most of you who have done that I find that I haven’t really done a very good ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 786 views

    This sermon explores the power of the tongue and the importance of using it wisely. It emphasizes the need for self-control in speech to promote harmony and avoid destruction.

    Lately, there has been a lot of negative news surrounding the Catholic church, particularly regarding allegations of sexual misconduct by priests. While I do not condone these actions, it saddens me because the world is watching and may view the church as hypocritical. However, there is another ...read more

    Explores the concept of spiritual rest in God, its relevance in our lives, and our responsibility to embrace and live in this rest.

    Good morning, cherished family of God. As we gather in this sacred space, let's take a moment to pause, to breathe, to be still and know that He is God. In the hustle and bustle of life, it's so easy to lose sight of the peace and rest that our Father so generously offers us. We are often caught up ...read more
