Chosen To Go Series

Jesus hand selected a small group of men to be sent out. These men were not chosen based on merit, experience or skill.

The Little Flock Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 26, 2021

God's plans are always big, but His means for getting His big plans achieved are always small.

The world is full of interesting stories about numbers. For example, why does the President get a 21 gun salute. It all began in 1776 when Francis Hopkinson, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, noticed that if you add up the numbers in 1776 they come to 21. He said to himself, ...read more

#2 Irritant: The Fly In Ointment

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jun 27, 2020

Dead flies in the ointment can be more that an annoyance, they can sting and spread infections. Small things matter in negative ways.

#2 Irritant: THE FLY IN THE OINTMENT. Thanks to Phil Walton for the fodder for this sermon. Thank you. This follows part #1. FLIES: Irritant, show me what ticks you off… This is part #2: IRRITANT: THE FLY IN THE OINTMENT. I have a fly swatter, some rubber flies, and a jar labeled as OINTMENT with ...read more

Eternity Is Now In Session - Are We There Yet? Series

Contributed by Brian Harrell on Dec 19, 2019

Taken from John Ortberg's book and small group series. These are sermons that I created to go with series.

We are starting a brand-new series of messages that we will not only preach about on Sunday morning, but we will talk about in small groups this week using video, using guides for discussion. This series is called “eternity is now in session.” The basic premise is that God just doesn’t want to get ...read more

Questions That Need An Answer (Isaiah 40:12-31) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 7, 2024

The questions push people to believe what they know: God is great; problems (and human empires like Babylon) are small.

Our passage today is built around a series of questions. You might find these questions comically easy to answer. Parts of this might feel a bit like Sunday school when you were very little. But work with me this morning. Multiple times, I'm going to ask you the question the prophet asks. ...read more

Overcoming Discouragement: The Elijah Syndrome Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 19, 2024

Are you discouraged? Listen for the gentle whisper of the Lord. Elijah was transformed by the still small voice of God. You can be too.

In 1 Kings we see the victorious bold Elijah and we see the opposite extreme when Elijah faced discouragement. The background comes from long years of drought in Israel. Elijah made a prophecy that there would be no dew or rain in Israel. This drought was extremely severe. Now Elijah the ...read more

How Does God Communicate With Us?

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 3, 2021

I've found that God communicates in innumerable ways. Every time I notice one way that God communicates, he changes it up. A new method appears. It's fascinating actually. God is diverse, incredibly so.

The divine designer, the architect, the crafter of the human soul is indeed present and interactive within the matrix of reality we call Earth. He is present, he is at work. Yet we cannot see him. Theologians call this the "hiddenness of God." But why is he hidden? Atheists might say ...read more

Check Your Motive

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Nov 11, 2018

Jesus contrasts the Teachers of the Law with the poor widow. In the former, we see people more interested in themselves than in God; hypocrites, pretending to be something they were not. In the latter, we see a lady who loved God authentically and completely.

Check Your Motive Mark 12:38-44 In March 2009 Bernie Madoff pled guilty to running the largest Ponzi scheme in history. Bernie’s last name is appropriate, because he literally “made off” with billions of dollars belonging to his investors. A Ponzi scheme is pretty simple in concept: you convince ...read more

Looking to redefine what ’lost’ is, and how we get lost... based on the back to back parables of Jesus. The Lost Sheep – The one who wanders away… The Lost Coin – The one who just doesn’t know… The Younger Son – The deliberate step The Older Son – The

Redefining Lostness MARK 2:16-17 When the scribes of the Pharisees saw that He was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they said to His disciples, "Why is He eating and drinking with tax collectors and sinners?"

Getting Ready For The Last Supper

Contributed by James May on Mar 15, 2011

Elijah met the Widow of Zarephath just as she was preparing to eat her last supper. It's a wonderful story of God's provision if we would only learn to trust him.

Getting Ready for the Last Supper Sunday, March 13, 2011 PM By Pastor James May If there’s one prophet of the Old Testament that I love reading about it has to be Elijah. Here was a real man of faith and of power; at least most of the time. Like all the rest of us, Elijah had a few ups ...read more

The Long Road Back Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Mar 20, 2018

The disappointment which Naomi has at being a widow becomes the event God uses to bring His wondering child back home. For Ruth the road to redemption starts very unexpectedly.

Message Ruth 1:6-22 “The Long Road Back.” Disappointment. The word immediately brings to mind all sorts of situations … doesn’t it. We have organising a project and all sorts of people make a commitment to give help, or support, or be part of a project. Then, when it comes to the crunch, they ...read more
