Defining Love - Sacrifice Isn't Optional Series

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 16, 2013

The people of Jesus know how to sacrifice. Genuine followers of Jesus know what it means to be faithful and experience joy in suffering. How about you? Are you weird like that?

We're in the second week of our series "defining love" last time we talked about how genuine love, God's love, isn't normal. We defined love as faithful and that the result of faithfulness is joy. We talked about how our culture defines love in a million different ways, but, God defines love much ...read more

What Is In Your House

Contributed by Odon Bulamba on Dec 30, 2013

LIFE is about learning. From childhood until the day you die, you must keep learning. God created us so we can learn and understand who He is, what He wants, etc. There is a blessing in your house. Do you know? Discover it today...

As a child my parents helped me to learn how to speak and they taught me how to be a nice person and how to do everything in my life. For example, if I wanted to touch this piece of paper and mum/dad says no, I knew if I touched it another time I will be in trouble. 2 kings 4:1 – 7, ...read more

Sheltered Series

Contributed by Joe Tilton on Nov 18, 2013

The earth won't last forever, according to Jesus. Troubling times are ahead, and those are Messiah's words. Is there an escape? Yes, but only one way. Hey, it's not my words! Go to Luke 21

Message November 17, 2113 Sheltered One day a lady was driving on the highway. She frequently checked her speedometer to be sure she was within the speed limit. She looked into the rear-view mirror, and much to her dismay, she saw a police car not far behind. And, to make things worse, the ...read more

God The Spirit Series

Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on Jul 12, 2013

We can relate to the Spirit through the feminine imagery present in scripture.

God the Father. God the Son. And God the Holy Spirit. Three of my favorite things to talk about, and today we are going to talk about God the Holy Spirit. We talk less about the Holy Spirit than about the Father and the Son, and I think we understand the Holy Spirit less than we understand the ...read more

How To Be Good And Mad

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Sep 11, 2019

Christians often try to avoid or deny anger because unrighteous anger can be so destructive. But there is a time and place and way to be angry in a constructive way.

This morning I want to talk about finding freedom from anger, or to be precise, from destructive anger, not all anger. And our sermon text for this morning lays out a very simple outline of some really important guidance for us about anger. It is Ephesians 4:25-27. 26 Be angry but do not sin; do ...read more

Playing The Supporting Role In Someones Life Story Series

Contributed by Perry Fowler on Mar 20, 2025

Are you a leader? A mentor? Are you a disciple? A follower? God says we all need someone to be a role model in our life. Ultimately, He wants you to be one to someone else as well.

I was reading about a Pastor one Sunday that had a lady leaving out of the church that said: “Pastor, that was a model sermon.” The Pastor felt pretty good about the statement until he got home and looked up the word “model” in the dictionary and read this: “Model, a small imitation of the real ...read more

When The Cure Looks Like The Curse

Contributed by Patty Groot on Sep 16, 2025

This sermon calls us to lift our eyes from our wounds to Christ...just as the Israelites looked at the bronze serpent, trusting God to transform our places of pain into sources of healing and redemption.

Have you ever had to look at the very thing that hurt you in order to be healed? That sounds counterintuitive, doesn’t it? We tend to run from pain, not toward it. We avoid the memories that wounded us, the people who betrayed us, the experiences that left us scarred. But what if God invites us, ...read more
