    Are you slipping and sliding around in the same old mud? We must hold nothing back, and never hold something so close to our heart that keeps us away from the promises of God

    Following God requires a life of obedience. Being obedient does not just happen all at once. Our life journey is a process and we are all in different places in our journey. If you are like I am I get frustrated with the process at times when there are delays. Have you ever been stalled in traffic, ...read more

    Paul appeals to the Corinthian church to unify. He pleads for unity of word and unity of action.

    Introduction A. Two taxidermists stopped in front of a window where an owl was on display. They immediately began to criticize the way it was mounted.

    One of the most difficult things to do in our current society is to relinquish our control to someone else and depend totally on that person to lead and guide us. The Word of God let’s us know that we need to learn to wait on the Lord and to trust Him.

    This message looks at the faith of the man with the sick son and the different steps that he took toward his son's healing.

    He was their entire life. And they were incredibly thankful. They knew people who had never been able to have children, and even those they only had one, he meant the world to them. It wasn’t that they couldn’t conceive, that they were able to do, but some cruel twist of fate made his wife ...read more

     | 766 views

    Faith that sits still is not the faith Christ calls us. Transformative faith changes how we react to the world around us. True faith wakes us up, renews our minds, and shines as a light for others to see Christ in us.

    If Jesus enters your heart this Sabbath morning because you have left the door even slightly ajar, please, please do not chase Him out when you leave church. Take Him home with you. Don’t force Christ to find other quarters because you refuse to pay the mere pittance He asks of you.

    THE PRICE IS RIGHT JAMES 1:19-27 #thepriceisright INTRODUCTION I should tell you that up front, the sermon that I will share with you this morning is NOT a sermon that I have written. I write all my own sermons each week, but this one is not mine. This one was written for Cold Spring and South ...read more

    Luke and Acts give us a great look at the ascension. How Jesus handled Himself for 40 days before He was taken up! Powerful!

    -We Are Acts. Luke 24:44-53 The first four books of the New Testament are commonly called the gospels. The fifth book, The Acts of the apostles, is tied to Luke by common authorship. So Luke wrote the gospel of Luke, and the book of Acts. That is important, because Luke gives us two accounts of ...read more

    The Bartimaeus Miracle

    Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Feb 16, 2025
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,998 views

    In this sermon we are not so focused on what the Bartimaeus miracle was, but how he received it. God is no respect of persons but he is a respect of faith. If we can walk the steps of Bartimaeus we can get our own miracle.

    Mark 10:46-52 TLB And so they reached Jericho. Later, as they left town, a great crowd was following. Now it happened that a blind beggar named Bartimaeus (the son of Timaeus) was sitting beside the road as Jesus was going by. [47] When Bartimaeus heard that Jesus from Nazareth was near, he began ...read more
