     | 9,892 views

    Enough with the selfies. And you thought that selfies were harmless. When selfies first came out I thought taking pictures of yourself with a cell phone was a passing fad.

    Jesus’ birth is not just supernatural, it’s educational. Along with educational, it’s also transformational. What Jesus thought before he was born influenced the way he lived.

    I’m sure most of us are familiar with the famous poem by Clement Clark Moore that begins this way: ’Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with ...read more

    This sermon is based on Chapter 9 of Charles Swindoll's book, Paul: A Man of Grace and Grit, by Charles Swindoll. We discuss the fact that like Saul and Barnabas, we need to be ready to obey when God calls for the changes in our lives and ministries.

     | 8,426 views

    This two part series focuses on the differences between Christian beliefs and how the label Christian does not fully describes those following Jesus as it did when the term was originally given to His followers.

    Christian Part 1 Scriptures: Act 11:26; 1 Peter 4:16; Matthew 7:13-14; 28:19 Introduction The title of my message this morning is “Christian” and I really want you to understand how this term describes someone who follows Christ today versus when it was first used some 2000 years ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,382 views

    This message is an attempt to answer some of the honest questions people have about how if God is good , then why is there so much suffering.

    God, If He Is Good Why Is There So Much Bad? "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” - Isaiah 55:8,9 What are ...read more

    This sermon and series is based from the "I Love My Church" series from Outreach Ministries. It has been heavily adapted to fit our context as a rural church. This week is all about breaking down the fences that keep us seperate from each other

    I LOVE MY CHURCH WEEK 2- Community Key Passage: Hebrews 10:19-25 Before the Message: Obtain a small section of fencing.

    Real Leadership Series

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on Feb 22, 2019
     | 9,797 views

     | 5,247 views

    We all make mistakes. None of us are perfect and that includes those in the bible. Those great men and women of faith did some remarkable things but they had their flaws too. Today we'll look at Abraham and Joshua and see how they are just like us.

    JUST LIKE US (part two) Recap: Last week we looked at the fact that although we all make mistakes it isn't easy to admit it. Sometimes we make the mistake of looking at celebrities in an elevated way that portrays them as larger than life and almost too perfect. Therefore we conclude that they ...read more

    Talk Is Cheap

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Mar 6, 2019
     | 7,322 views

    Actions or works may not create faith but they can reveal the substance and form of a person’s faith. To me, works is our faith made visible. “For just as a body without the spirit is dead” … a corpse … “so faith without works is also dead” … a corpse (James 2:26).

    [Put up picture of me on screen.] Let me tell you a little bit about that man in the photo. He was 40 years old when that picture was taken. He was 20 months sober at the time. Well … “sober” is not the right word. He was a dry drunk” … which means that he hadn’t picked up a drink in 20 ...read more
