    This sermon reveals what it means to abide in Christ and its importance.

    Abiding in Christ John 15:1-8 This concept of “Abiding in Christ” is one of the most important aspects we can learn. The word itself is a verb. Abiding is therefore an action and means to continue, remain, dwell, live, or to lodge. We can then say that to abide in Christ is to remain ...read more

    In the weeks to come I will be preaching a series of sermons on the LAWS OF ALMIGHTY GOD.

    We deal with laws of this country every day and so we are familiar with many of the laws of the land. Even children have some understanding about laws and how important they are to us. In fact, sometime children have a better understanding of the LAW OF GRAVITY than we adults do. Illus: The ...read more

    A Church Built On Christ Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Oct 16, 2024
     | 1,548 views

    Just what is it that makes a church authentic? The greatest challenge that we find as we try to follow Jesus is dedicating ourselves to the truth of the Scripture in a culture that tends to base their lives on their own opinions instead of on the truth of God's word.

    I don't think I need to tell any of you that our church is going through a new phase. We are about to enter into a new stage of growth for this church beginning in January. I have asked God what words can I bring to the church that would make this transition a lot easier so that we can remain ...read more

    Anger, guilt and grief, are they sin? If left out of the cage they could be. Yet there is a human emotion that is always, without out exception, a sin - Bitterness. Bitterness and unforgiveness are always linked and are always sin. And there are only two responses on the shelf.

    Has someone ever said something ... or done something to you ... which you found ... difficult ... to forgive? Every time you hear their name, ... even if the incident happened years ago ... still brings uneasiness ... to your soul. It is ... as though you were reliving the event ... all ...read more

    Lesson 18

    This lesson is more or less a continuation of the previous one. In verses 38-42 we learned what we are not supposed to do when we’ve been mistreated by others.
