    Many people spend their whole lives searching for something of value when it is closer than they could ever imagine. James was such a man who needed to discover what he already knew.

    Once there was a band of poor Brazilian goat headers who decided to make a long journey to California in search of gold. They took with them bags of rocks they used in a gambling game. Unfortunately, most of them died on the dangerous journey. One young man made it to San Francisco with nothing but ...read more

    This sermon is primarily about faith. It is about what faith is, a longing for something more than this world has to offer. It encourages people to turn that longing into faith and turn that faith into action.

    Longing for Something More, Hebrews 11:1 Introduction The story is told of a little boy whose family was very poor. He never complained because he had no toys and received no gifts at Christmas time; but he wished for them. He spent his spare time looking in the store windows at the pretty things ...read more

     | 2,166 views

    Some feel they are better than others. They don’t hurt people, lead a good life and don’t break the rules. Comparing ourselves to “others” we might think we might look pretty righteous.

    Following the Shepherd Ps 23 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. 3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of ...read more

    Why should they risk the fiery furnace? If they were going to take a stand, it should be over something that is really important. But sometimes, it’s the little things that cause such great damage.

    3-03-03 Great Faith vs. the Fiery Furnace Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us ...read more

    Effective Christianity

    Contributed by Scott Fields on Oct 9, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,678 views

    Why is Christianity in America declining? Why are professions of faith and baptisms on the decline. Christianity is not a religion but a relationship. Church is not a place we go or something we do it is God's people doing His will.

    I have a very serious question to start us off with this morning. Why is Christianity on the decline here in America? I am sure there are probably as many answers as there are people. • Could it be because Christianity is competing with so many other religions? • Could it be because ...read more

    The reason we like traditions, whether it’s washing your hands or dressing up for church, is that it is something we can do outwardly and feel good about ourselves.

    INTRODUCTION Part of this message is about traditions. Why do we do the things we do? Sometimes we do them because we’ve always done them the same way and we never questioned the reason. Growing up, I had exactly the same breakfast every morning: two fried eggs, bacon, grits, and toast. And the ...read more

     | 8,317 views

    Good things happens to bad people, and the Gospel tells us that, but it is not fair, but what we don’t see, is God changing us for the better, refining us to do his will. It is all there in the bible.

     | 3,222 views

    Finding your purpose, enjoying your relationship with God, and sharing his goodness with others is living the dream. Living one day like that is better than a thousand days away from God. It is a joy to serve and please God.
