    The Ascension Of Christ Series

    Contributed by Mark Mitchell on Jan 15, 2023
     | 1,814 views

    In the book of acts we see the expansion of the gospel as the mission of the church. The book of acts is a continuation of what Jesus did and taught.

    I. Witnesses to all of whom Jesus is. (Not just things directly related to salvation) (v.8) A. The same Greek word for witness is the same word used for martyr in other passages of scripture. B. Witness to His death, burial, and resurrection. C. Witness to all that He did to heal the lame ...read more

    A message about freedom in Christ, and some of the things that can impede that freedom.

    January 15, 2023 Sermon - Boundaries: Burdens and Loads Freedom in Christ. I don't know how you respond to just those three words, but those words bring me joy. They bring me joy because they remind me of my experience of coming to faith, leaving behind a way of living and thinking about ...read more

    We are engaged in a spiritual battle, and we must hold our ground at all costs.

    The Battle in Christ Text: Eph. 6:10-20 Introduction 1. Illustration: Video clip from the movie "Gettysburg." Scene 28. Key phrase, "We've got to hold it!" 2. It is fitting that this text, which may be one of the richest texts in all the New Testament, occurs at the end ...read more

    Christ The Firstfruits.

     | 1,340 views

    Just as in Adam all die, so in Christ all are made alive.

    CHRIST THE FIRSTFRUITS. 1 Corinthians 15:19-26. Without the resurrection of Jesus Christ, there is no gospel at all (1 Corinthians 15:12-13), and we are of all men most vain and miserable (1 Corinthians 15:14-19). Thankfully, we are reminded with a sigh of relief, Christ is risen from the ...read more

    The Return Of Christ Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 24, 2022
     | 2,298 views

    When a believer dies, others are not to grieve like those who have no hope in Christ. But for believers we are grieving for ourselves and our loss, not for the person that died. This assurance believers have is because of the hope we have in Christ.

    Do we know the exact time of the return of the Lord? Yes, we do! But didn’t Jesus say, “that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven” (Mathew 24:36). Yes, He did say that. Then how do we know the day and hour of the return of Christ? It is when the trumpet sounds. It is just ...read more

    A college boy was explaining the reason he flunked out in college was because he had a clinker in his thinker.

    Did you know that about ninety-nine-and-nine-tenths of the problems that confront people is because they have that same problem--they have a clinker in their thinkers? We laugh this off as not being important, but God sees the way people think as being very important. Illus: We see this in the ...read more

    In Christ (#2)

    As we preach through Ephesians we find it is not a difficult book to UNDERSTAND.

    Illus: Speaking of things DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND reminds me of the story of the man who was walking on the beach one day and he came across a bottle. He kicked it and a “Genie” came swooping out. The “Genie” thanked him for releasing him from the bottle and told the man he was so thankful that ...read more

    The Deity Of Christ

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 4, 2022
     | 1,733 views

    Something we Christians have always taken for granted as we witnessed to the lost is the deity of Christ.

    That is, as we talked to sinners we would take it for granted that they understood that Jesus was the son of Mary and Joseph, but more important, that He is the DIVINE SON OF GOD. In past years very seldom have we come across anyone who did not believe this Biblical truth. However, this is ...read more

    How should the death & resurrection of Jesus change us? The purpose of the death of Christ is to empower us live a life for Him

    2 CORINTHIANS 5:14-15 TRANSFORMED BY CHRIST [Romans 14:7-9] When Jesus was crucified on the Cross and raised again on the third day, He won the victory over sin and death. That victory has a life changing purpose for those who have truly placed their faith in Christ. How should the death ...read more

    Progress became a secular god, a new form of hope for secular man in the 19th century, a progress that would lead to freedom. It was not to be.

    Monday of 2nd Week in Lent The call of Jesus in Matthew, which we heard at Mass on Saturday, was to “be perfect, as the heavenly Father.” In Luke’s redaction we heard today, the call is to “be merciful, as the heavenly Father.” If we understand that the root meaning of perfection is ...read more

     | 5,774 views

    If we desire to impact our community for Jesus Christ, then we need to be unified. Using the illustration of the church as a human body, Paul shared how a church that is divided will fail to function properly; or perhaps, even fail to survive.

    “A father asked his young son to break a bundle of sticks. He returned a little later to find the boy frustrated in the task. He had raised the bundle high and smashed it on his knee, but he only bruised his knee. He had set the bundle against a wall and stomped real hard with his foot, but the ...read more

     | 7,516 views

    The most natural evidence of a genuine conversion to Christ is a willingness to confess Christ as one's Lord and Savior. Nowhere does the Bible sanction a secret and silent believer. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Sligh preaches on “Confess Christ!"
