    Can You Hear Me Now? Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 22, 2025
     | 408 views

    Hearing Jesus requires quieting distractions, cultivating stillness, recognizing His whisper, and aligning life around the Shepherd’s voice that restores clarity, peace, and direction.

    There is a moment in every believer’s life when you sense that something is off. You believe in God. You know the stories. You’ve prayed prayers. You’ve stood in worship. You’ve read your Bible. You’ve walked the Christian path long enough to recognize its contours. And yet — a quiet ache grows in ...read more

    A Return To Civility: 6 Do Not Murder Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jul 27, 2024
     | 869 views

    This message looks at the 6th commandment, Do not Murder. It seems like an easy one to keep, but what happens when we broaden it out?

    A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six-year-olds. After explaining the commandment to "honour thy father and thy mother," she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?" Without missing a beat, ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,022 views

    Acts 9:31-43 shows us how Jesus still turns things around.

    Introduction Edmund P. Clowney was the first president of Westminster Theological Seminary from 1966 until he retired in 1984. Many years ago, Dr. Clowney wrote: “Never before has the world been so desperately asking for answers to crucial questions, and never before has the world been so ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,087 views

    A. Welcome to Friends and Family Day! 1. We are excited to have special guests with us today and we hope you will be encouraged and inspired by this time of worship. 2.

    Thanks Be To God! Series

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Nov 12, 2024
     | 1,056 views

    While a turducken is not necessary for our physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual health (and in many ways is probably bad for your physical health), giving thanks is necessary for physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual health. Make time to be thankful.

    LAYERS OF THANKSGIVING 2024: THANKS BE TO GOD! ROMANS 6:15-19 #layersofthanksgiving INTRODUCTION / ILLUSTRATION PART 1… food52.com/blog/14637-the-brief-history-of-the-turducken-and-stuffing-food-in-food [adapted] This sermon is going to be a weird sermon just like a turducken is a weird dish.

    Sermon – Help For Those Stuck In The Mud

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Nov 14, 2024
     | 1,782 views

    With the enemy at the door, the government out of control, stuck in the mud, Jeremiah down in a muddy cistern, stuck up to his arm pit with no way out, God still had a way out! Can ordinary people made a difference?

    Sermon – Help For Those Stuck in the Mud Scripture Lesson: Jeremiah 38:1-11 “Now Shephatiah son of Mattan, Gedaliah son of Pashhur, Jehucal son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur son of Malkijah heard what Jeremiah had been telling the people. He had been saying, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Everyone who ...read more

    Our Troublesome Tongues

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 26, 2024
     | 1,415 views

    As James challenges his readers to have a true religion, he comes to a part of our faith-life that is nearly impossible to control - our tongues.

    Before we dive into the main content of the message today, I want to point out something rather obvious - there are no notes in your bulletins. There is a sense in which this sermon is set up fairly similarly to others - a couple of main points with smaller points, but there is also a sense in ...read more

    Keep Your Salt Levels High Series

    Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Sep 28, 2024
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,699 views

    Why Wikipedia beats printed encylcopedias. How doing the hardest thing (what's that?) can help lift our spirits when we are low. And how that fits not just with Jesus's saying about saltiness but with the rest of today's bible readings. A sermon from September 2015

    Have a taste of this [hand out teaspoon of salt to someone in the front row] “If salt loses it’s saltiness with what will you season it?” I have two things that I would like to draw out of today’s texts about ways in which we can lose our saltiness - one personal and one public. One personal - ...read more

    The Gospel Goes To Prison Series

    Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Mar 15, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,275 views

    Acts 16:16-40 teaches us that the gospel transforms lives and communities, breaks down barriers, and offers hope even in the darkest situations.

    Introduction Jason was locked up in prison in the early 1990s to serve a life sentence. Gang life in prison was so bloody that his unit was nicknamed the “Terror Dome,” and the only way to survive was to stick to your race. The motto was “kill or be killed,” and Jason quickly climbed the ...read more

    A Living Wage Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 28, 2022
     | 1,409 views

    There’s a difference between dead-end religion and living faith.

    I expect the issue of minimum wage will come up in Congress again this year. There are good arguments on both sides - Those who are in favor of raising it will argue, rightly, that you can’t support a family on a minimum wage job, and that people who “work hard and play by the rules” should be able ...read more

    Acts 17:16-34 teaches us that we must proclaim the gospel in a world filled with idols and competing philosophies.

    Introduction We are studying the Book of Acts in a sermon series called “Turning the World Upside Down.” The gospel changed lives wherever it went. Saul of Tarsus was converted to Jesus and became known as the Apostle Paul. We are currently studying Paul’s second missionary journey. Last ...read more

    Jesus On Family Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 12, 2025
     | 428 views

    It's easy to overlook just how radical a statement Jesus makes here. He is doing nothing less than fundamentally redefining the family. What are the implications of actually living this out?

    ONE QUICK POINT BEFORE WE GET TO THE ACTUAL SERMON: The definition of a Christian is someone hearing God’s word and putting it into practice. - Luke 8:21. - Matthew 7:21, 24, 26; Matthew 12:50; John 7:17; John 14:23; John 15:10; 1 John 2:17. - Jesus says something here that is crucially ...read more

    Sermon – El Roi, The God Who Sees Me

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Sep 18, 2025
     | 597 views

    God responded to her suffering, not her prayer, revealing Himself to her and giving her the assurance that He had seen her affliction. This encounter provided Hagar with strength and the knowledge that she was not alone, but rather seen, known, and understood by God.

    Sermon – El Roi, The God Who Sees Me Scripture - Genesis 16:1-11 “Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had not been able to bear children for him. But she had an Egyptian servant named Hagar. So Sarai said to Abram, “The Lord has prevented me from having children. Go and sleep with my servant. Perhaps I can ...read more
