    Free Indeed!

    This sermon exposes the blatant attack on religious liberty via the pandemic and the less than adequate response from the church. It encourages us to be watchful and aware of how the enemy is working to silence and control even God's people and what we can do to gain the victory!

    Religious Liberty Sermon 2024 (Free Indeed!) It was Patrick Henry that once passionately exclaimed, “Give me liberty, or give me death! The obvious sentiment being that liberty, or freedom is well worth dying for. I don’t know about you, but I’m glad that he and the rest of our founding fathers ...read more

    Thanksgiving - Count Your Blessings Series

    Most of us don’t fully realize just how good we’ve got it, much less what to do about it. It’s time to count your true blessings, so you can make the most of them.

    “Oh, if only God would bless me!” And so we pray, “God bless me . . . with wisdom, with patience, in this decision, in my job, as I teach . . .” and the list goes on. Yet, with all our sincere seeking and praying, we miss the blessing. Why? One day as I was frantically searching through the house, ...read more

    Thank You Lord, For The Thorns That Hurt Us

     | 3,927 views

    No true child of God gets out of life without enduring some kind of pain, adversity, discomfort, or suffering. Each encounter we have with the difficulties of life need to be seen as lessons the Sovereign LORD teaches us to rely less on ourselves and more on His wisdom and grace.

    I've spent much time in thought and silent prayer, organizing in my mind and soul on how this message should be presented. I wanted to be certain that what I was about to say would be based primarily upon the Word of God and not merely a repeat of topics that I have covered in previous ...read more

    If I Could Put Time In A Bottle

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026
     | 143 views

    Time is not random or meaningless; it unfolds under God’s sovereign care. Ecclesiastes 3 reminds us that life is lived in seasons, eternity is placed in the human heart, and meaning is found not in controlling time but in reverently offering it to God. What is given to Him is never wasted.

    There are moments in life when time feels generous. Days seem long. Weeks stretch out ahead of us. The future feels wide and open, almost indulgent. And then there are other moments when time suddenly feels thin — compressed, hurried, and slippery. One season we are wondering how to fill the hours, ...read more

    Has someone put a little "dis" on the front of your grace? Elizabeth knew what that was like. Her freedom was hindered, her past was haunting her, her conditions were less than what they should be, her religion was empty and she her efforts were fruitless

    When I was little, if I had something on my face, my mother would often spit on a napkin or her thumb, reach over into my space and wipe the grit, or food, or dirt off of my face.

    Many people are struggling with jealousy. Notice how jealousy arises in our hearts only when we compare ourselves with others. Most often our comparisons are only with those who are doing better than us, never with those who have much less than us.

    When emotions stifle our conscience In Genesis 42:21, we read, “Then they said to one another, “In truth we are guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul, when he begged us and we did not listen. That is why this distress has come upon us.” (ESV) These are the words ...read more

    When the final punishment for evil begins it will be too late to turn. No repentance, no hope, no out. Followers of the Lamb are given glory, while all others are condemned to the lake of fire.
