    Clothed With Christ Series

    Contributed by Lewis Martin on May 31, 2025
     | 800 views

    Have you ever tried to prove yourself—only to realize the gift was already yours? In Galatians 3, Paul reminds us that we don’t need to earn God’s love—we’re already clothed in Christ.

    I remember the first suit I ever bought for myself. It was 1988, and I was working at Men’s Wearhouse—so I had access to the good stuff, not Hart, Shafner, and Marx, but high quality suits. I picked out a charcoal gray, double-breasted suit with chalk line pinstripes. Sharp. Classic. It was a $300 ...read more

    Hear Isaiah’s Advent Call!

     | 372 views

    For our sermon this morning we are invited to hear a message from the Prophet Isaiah in his role as an Advent preacher. Actually, we hear three messages connected to three voices calling out in his prophecy.

    They were all Advent preachers. From Moses to Malachi their messages were the same. Repent. Return. Believe. Yes, they delivered their messages in different ways, and at different times. But ultimately, they were the voices of God calling his people to turn away from their sins, return to ...read more

    This sermon proclaims that at Christmas God gave the perfect gift of love—sending His Son to redeem us, securing our salvation by the Spirit, and calling us to live out that love through Christlike sacrifice, patience, and truth.

    The Heart of Christmas: Love Galatians 4:4-5; Ephesians 1:3-14; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 Just a few days ago, many of us woke up to Christmas morning. You got out of bed, made your way to the tree, and there they were—the gifts. Each box, different in size, shape, and weight, quietly invited ...read more

    And Enoch Walked With God PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 3, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 182 views

    The sermon urges believers to pursue a daily, intimate walk with God like Enoch, prioritizing faithfulness and devotion over worldly achievement or recognition.

    If you’ve ever taken a slow walk with someone you love, you know the wonder of it. The world rushes, but your pace becomes conversation, companionship, and comfort. You notice what you’d miss at a sprint—the birdsong, the breeze, the steady presence at your side. Scripture tells us of a man who ...read more

    God’s presence empowers us to release the past, trust Him with our present and future, and pursue Jesus as our ultimate prize.

    Some of us walked in today with a calendar full of plans and a heart full of questions. Others came with a smile for the room and a sigh for the ride home. Life has a way of handing us seasons we didn’t pencil in—detours we didn’t expect, delays we didn’t schedule, and disappointments we didn’t see ...read more

    God meets us in our need by giving Himself—our Counselor, Strength, and Father—inviting us to bring every burden to Him in prayer.

    Friends, welcome. If your heart feels hurried, your calendar crowded, your mind a little muddled, you’re in the right place. The Lord meets us here—where questions hum and worries tug. Long before our schedules became so loud and life so layered, God gave us a name to whisper in weary seasons: a ...read more

    God has a book and man has a book. Which do you have? Are you sure?

    Why The Good Old KJV Is Still The Book For Thee! Many folks wonder why I am still using the KJV when there are a multitude of versions out there that are so much "easier" to read. Indeed, they are amazed that I am a KJV only man. Many would say that while the KJV is a great ...read more

    IN A SIMILAR FASHION, WE FOCUS ON OUR FEARS RATHER THAN ON OUR FAITH. We worry because we focus on our wants rather than our abundance.

    Do you know the best way to swat a fly? According to the scientific journal NATURE the best way is to take a piece of tissue paper in each hand.

One day he took the laundry basket, tipped it upside down and stood on it so he could crawl on top of the dresser. Then he ...read more
