    This Is Us - Pt. 1 - Blessed Series

    Contributed by Steve Ely on Mar 22, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 14,191 views

    Do we know who we are? With all of our hang-ups, challenges, gifts, warts and all, “THIS IS US!” Understanding our identity is essential for our health.

    This Is US! Pt. 1 - Blessed I. Introduction Shakespeare in Hamlet said it like this, "This above all: to thine own self be true. The author of the Invisible Man, Ralph Ellison, says something similar . . . “When I discover who I am, I’ll be free.” The secular world understands ...read more

    William Dix posed a thought provoking question when he asked, “What Child is this?"

    “What Child Is This?” Isaiah 9:1-7 David P. Nolte William Dix posed a thought provoking question when he asked, “What Child is this, Who, laid to rest, on Mary’s lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, while shepherds watch are keeping?” Dix answered this way, “This, ...read more

    When Daniel's World Changed Series

    Contributed by Paul Barreca on Apr 7, 2016
     | 10,399 views

    By studying Daniel, we will get a glimpse of a man who lived and thrived in a pagan culture. Daniel instructs us how we should live in our culture today.

    Think with me to the year 1996. That was 20 years ago. Much has changed in 29 years! Do you remember your cell phone from 1996? Not everyone had a cell phone back then. They were fairly large, and they looked like, well, a telephone, with a receiver for your ear, a mouth piece, and.... an ...read more

    Remember Your Leaders Series

    Contributed by John Newton on Nov 16, 2022
     | 1,693 views

    It seems to me that this concluding chapter is something of a catch-all. I can imagine that the author’s hand might be aching after all this writing. So now he is packing as much as he can into his concluding words.

    Wow! We’ve been reading and making our way through Hebrews for a long time. It was way back in January that we started. Now it seems almost as though that is shrouded in the mists of history. And I want to express my gratitude to Pastor Marvin, who has steadfastly and faithfully been leading us ...read more

    Count The Cost

     | 1,920 views

    One that calls himself a follower of Jesus is not necessarily a follower of Jesus.

    Count the Cost Luke 14:25-33 Jesus never promised that following Him is easy. Again and again, he told all who would listen that discipleship might cost them everything, even their lives. This morning’s passage from Luke 14:25-33 is one of these passages. What does it really mean to be a follower ...read more

    God's Not Like Us

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 5, 2022
     | 5,139 views

    I was watching an American Gospel production and it showed a bible opened to Ps. 50:21 focusing on the words, "you thought I was altogether like you". Thinking God is like us puts human thinking and reasoning into the mind of God. But God is not like us.

    GOD'S NOT LIKE US I was watching a trailer for an American Gospel production about how the gospel had become watered down in America and how some churches are conforming to please the masses. At one point it cut to a shot of a bible opened up to Ps. 50:21 focusing on the words, "you ...read more

    Joy comes to us when we surrender our will, for the will and power of our Father, His Son and The Holy Spirit

    So maybe you’ve heard it said, ‘read your bible’ so you tried and failed. Our hope as leaders is that all of us will pick up God’s word and come to understand the true nature of God. After all, the bible is God’s Word curated over centuries detailing His nature, His will, the meaning of life and ...read more

    God See's Different

     | 2,799 views

    In 1 Samuel 16, the Bible tells us, 'People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.' This simple line is so powerful. It reminds us that what truly matters is not how we look on the outside but what's in our hearts.

    Today, I want us to think about the world around us. It's very different from the world we read about in the Bible. In our time, influenced by media and the internet, there's a big focus on looking good and staying healthy. Social media, TV, and other media often set high standards for ...read more

    And No Man Takes It To Heart

    1 of 1. The prophet Isaiah noted an 'environment' in Israel, where an absence of God’s righteous people went unnoticed. The absence of God’s righteous people can go unnoticed by secular society. When/Why/How does an absence of God’s righteous go unnoticed?

    “AND NO MAN TAKES IT TO HEART”—Isaiah 57:1-2 Attention: Have you ever bought something from the grocery store, only to discover later, that there is something missing from your purchase? You know you had it in the grocery cart, but it’s not there after you got home! You notice immediately that ...read more

    Desperate For Jesus

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024
     | 1,426 views

    I believe that there really is such a place for that kind of desperation in our lives today. However, most important is the discernment of what it is that we want for ourselves.

    Don’t Flinch

     | 1,457 views

    Christians are not supposed to "flinch" or hesitate to speak God's truth, or from declaring ALL the gospel of God, or flinch in their allegiance to Jesus. Let's surrender ALL today!

    DON’T FLINCH Acts 20:27 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A pastor was walking down the street when he saw 12 young boys gathered around a dog. Worried that the boys might hurt the dog, he went over and asked, “What are you doing with that dog?” 2. One of the boys replied, “It’s a stray dog; we all ...read more

    In a world filled with challenges and trials, we are called to stand firm in our faith, finding joy and growth even in the midst of hardship.

    Focal Scripture: James 1:2-4 (CSB) "Consider it a great joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you experience various trials, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking ...read more
