    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 17, 2025
     | 156 views

    Salvation rests on the faithfulness of Jesus—His perfect trust, obedience, and victory—not on the strength of our belief.

    Grace Broke The Scales

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 19, 2025
     | 134 views

    Grace shattered the world’s scorekeeping; salvation is not earned by balance but received by the cross that broke the scales.

    The Story: Earning Points with God A few years ago I was standing in line at the grocery store with one item—a loaf of bread. The lady in front of me had about 200. You know that line you always pick because it looks fast but somehow turns into a hostage situation? So I’m standing there while ...read more

    Running Your Race

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Oct 25, 2025

     | 406 views

    “Running Your Race” calls believers to reject comparison and discouragement, embrace their God-given lane with faithfulness and joy, and keep their eyes fixed on Jesus—the One who empowers, sustains, and rewards every step of the journey.

    Running Your Race I remember the first time I attended a large Christian conference. Though we all shared a love for the Lord and His Word, this “unknown” attendee quietly wondered if anyone could see past the mask of confidence—past the polished smiles and ministry talk—to the ...read more

    Choose Your Sea

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 29, 2025
     | 88 views

    Fear hoards and dies, love trusts and flows; in Christ we become Galilee — alive, generous, healed from the bondage of fear.

    The Story the Land Tells If you ever travel the length of the Jordan Valley, you pass between two seas that could not be more different. In the north lies the Sea of Galilee, surrounded by gentle green hills and palms that bow in the evening wind. Fishermen still cast their nets there at dawn. ...read more

     | 2,476 views

    Gideon delivered the Israelites from the Midianites, but he would never have done it without the encouragement of his servant Purah. Leaders and churches today need a host of Purahs to help us succeed.

    PURAH: THE GIFT OF ENCOURAGEMENT Judges 7:10-11 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A lady walked by a pet store. A talking bird at an open window looked at her and squawked, “Hey Lady!

    There Is Something About The Name Of Jesus You Need To Know

    Contributed by Gordon Brownlee on Mar 19, 2024
     | 1,141 views

    The Believer in Christ can find themselves in the midst of worldly trouble; trouble they never asked for. When confronted by evil men and their agendas we retain an authority in Christ to set at bay unwarranted advances. Its all found in the Name of Jesus.

    Video presentation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPM6oHOYLsg&t The Name of Jesus is our first and last line of defense against human and spiritual violence. It is not merely reciting the name that is powerful, but rather it is the authority that is behind the Name and our position within ...read more

    A New Year’s Examination

    Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Jan 10, 2024
     | 3,027 views

    With a new year comes a time for self-examination of your life and your relationship with Jesus Christ. Have you ghosted Him? Have you friend zoned Him? Or do you have a loving relationship with Him?

    It is our tradition in this church, as well as many others, to share the ordinance of the Lord’s Supper on the first Sunday of the month. Paul’s admonition to the Corinthian Christians is especially appropriate as one begins a new year: “Let a man examine himself.” Being that this is the first ...read more

    The Incarnation Series

    Contributed by Jeffery Anselmi on Aug 16, 2024
     | 1,292 views

    In Classical Christian Art, the Gospel of John is depicted with the symbol of an Eagle. Why? Because his theology is lofty. He flies closer to the Son. We are going to look at a handful of those “lofty thoughts” that will lift you out of the mundane to new heights.

    INTRODUCTION - Today, we focus the message on a thought that sets Jesus above all others: the Word BECAME FLESH! - The word INCARNATION means the embodiment of God the Son in human flesh as Jesus Christ. - Throughout time, humans have looked for ways to see God or connect with Him. - Throughout ...read more

     | 784 views

    The preaching of the Word is God is the center of our worship service, but we need to do what the message says and not just be hearers.

    How To Experience Conscious Contact With God Series

     | 1,029 views

    As you learn to pray more and more, talking to God in the morning, praying over meals, praying at night, praying at mid day, praying at church, and praying at home, eventually you’ll find that something changes. You’ll realize over time, wow, my entire day is turning into a dialogue with God.

    There was an evangelist of yesteryear named Wilbur Chapman. One day he was talking to William Booth, the founder of The Salvation Army. Chapman asked Booth, “General Booth, God has used you in a great way. What is the secret of God’s use of you?” Booth moved the hair out of his face, looked at ...read more
