     | 3,500 views

    We learned them as children, but did we learn from them? There is truth wrapped up in these tales!

    I. Introduction These are the stories we learned as children. Either told to us by parents or at school as we gathered at the feet of our teachers. These tales taught us life lessons and truths that we had to think through to grasp. However, unknown to many of us they also taught us significant ...read more

    Many Christians don’t set goals because they’re content with where they are, feel they can’t get any better, or feel their best days are behind them. It's God's will that we have dreams!

    DON’T LET YOUR MEMORIES BECOME BIGGER THAN YOUR DREAMS INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A woman walked into her bathroom at home. As she did, she saw her husband weighing himself on the bathroom scales, sucking in his stomach. 2. The woman thought to herself, "He thinks that he will weigh less ...read more

    The Things People Say About Jesus Series

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 4, 2021
     | 4,640 views

    You cannot be neutral about Jesus. You can admire Him or loathe Him. You can try to understand Him or have nothing to do with Him. You can listen to Him or ignore Him. The truth is that you will face Him one day, and what you have done with Him will decide where you will spend eternity.

    Wherever Jesus went, He caused a riot or a revival. The work and words of the Lord Jesus Christ have affected lives, changed the course of history, made us face our mortality and grow up in terms of character, morals, thought, and living. For countless millions of souls who have trusted in Him ...read more

    A sermon which compares and contrasts what the world offers and what Jesus offers.

    “Have Courage” John 14:23-29 Since the beginning of time, humanity has craved peace! Peace of mind, peace of heart, peace among the nations.

    The Good Samaritan

     | 1,846 views

    Jesus was making the point that our worship carries over into our works. Our love and adoration for God is something that we are supposed to exemplify in our worship.

    THE GOOD SAMARITAN Text : Luke 10:25-37 There is the story of a fellow on his way to a job interview. He had been out of work for many months. On his way to what seemed like a promising interview, he encounters a woman on the side of the road who has just had a flat tire. DILEMMA: ...read more

    Three Crosses On A Hill: A Study In Evangelism

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Nov 6, 2022
     | 1,603 views

    When we preach about the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for our sins upon the cross, we forget that there were also two men crucified on crosses next to Him. Each man had the opportunity to look to Jesus for grace and mercy. Their response determined their eternal destiny.

    The agony of the crucifixion and the final hours of Jesus are recorded in all four gospels, each written with their own unique perspective of what happened that dark day (Matthew 27; Mark 15; Luke 23; John 19). Each one tells of the jeering, mockery, contempt, and seething hatred towards the ...read more

The Book of Chronicles is the official family tree of the tribes of ancient Israel. In fact, there are nine chapters of “so and so begat so and so.” Most of as, we ...read more

    Each chapter is designed and written by Mark to prove that Jesus is the Son of God. . In chapter 4 the disciples have to decide if Jesus is more than a Jewish prophet who heals people. Faith in Jesus overcomes fear. Fear will corrode our confidence in God's goodness

    What makes Jesus Christ Supreme in our lives. Yes, our mundane, day-to-day, mundane lives? What is the message of the Cross for us?

    We are in yet another Lent season, meditating on the Power of the Cross, and this week we are specially focusing on the Supremacy of Christ.

    The greatest triumph ever recorded was Jesus' resurrection from the dead. His victory over sin and death provided victory for every believer, and the promise of eternal life. We have nothing to fear because our Lord has risen as the Victor!
