    Do You Have 20/20 Vision?

    Contributed by Chad Taylor on Jan 7, 2014
     | 8,260 views

    Every year we struggle with New Year's Resolutions or goals set that we fail to reach. The church is no different. Does the church have a clear vision for Jesus and the authority of His word? Its time to separate the garbage from the truth in our walk!

    Introduction On September 27, 1991, as was his custom, Gerald Sittser, a professor of religion and philosophy at Whitworth College, prayed, asking God to protect and bless his family. Something went terribly wrong. Later that afternoon, returning from a family outing, a drunk driver lost control ...read more

    This message is about how individual Church members are given gifts that are needed within the Church body to ensure the Church accomplishes what Christ has called us to do without jealousy.

    Out of Many Comes One Borg Christians Scripture: First Corinthians 12:4-30 In my message last week I shared with you that Jesus’ birth was a gift of love from God.

    Reclaiming The Blueprint Series

    Contributed by Apostle Dr. Ruben L. Broadnax Jr. on Oct 24, 2024
     | 1,757 views

    Many believers feel that something vital is missing from today's church, yearning for the vibrancy seen in the early church of Acts. God is calling us back to that original blueprint, to be a church devoted to Him, to each other, and to the mission of spreading His hope and redemption.

    There is a growing sense among believers today that something essential is missing. We attend church services, participate in programs, and go through the motions of faith, yet we long for the vibrancy, the power, and the authentic community described in the book of Acts. It’s like we have ...read more

    A sermon about change in the church.

    “Every Day is Pentecost” Acts 2:1-21 The Book of Acts is the story of the early Church and how it evolved. It’s an amazingly exciting adventure.

    Evil is like a series of bombs scattered around our lives. If we are to diffuse them, it helps to understand them.

    People should consider singleness because of: 1) the Pressure of the system (vv. 25–27); 2) the Problems of the flesh (v. 28); 3) the Passing of the world (vv. 29–31); 4) the Preoccupations of marriage (32–35); 5) the Promises of betrothed (vv. 36–38) and 6) The Permanency of Marriage (vv. 39–40)

    At this point, I’m sure that Jesus was feeling the awful pressure of God’s coming judgment on sin. The fleshly side of Jesus surely wanted to run. He wanted another way to be chosen to save man. Yet He was committed to God, He was totally devoted to Hi

    Meaningful And Meaningless Worship Series

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jun 30, 2022
     | 2,957 views

    This sermon focuses on Solomon's somewhat cynical view of Temple worshipers along with his corrective: to "stand in awe of God" and how it applies to our modern day church services.

    I would like to open today’s sermon with a question. Why do we even bother to go to church? I imagine if I was to ask everybody, I would probably get different answers. I think some go out of tradition. Some go because they are feeling pressure from a spouse. Others might be feeling a sense ...read more
