There are 3 types of intimacy in marriage, kind of like a three legged stool. Sometimes we try to make it by on one or two of these but you can’t stay balanced in life and marriage without all three. This sermon deals with spiritual intimacy
Developing Intimacy in Marriage, Part 2 Genesis 2:20b-24 Last week, we looked at the challenge for followers of Christ of developing intimacy in our relationships in a sex crazed world. Intimacy is like a three legged stool. You have to have all three aspects to be balanced in marriage and to ...read more

True peace and purpose come from drawing near to God, letting go of distractions, and seeking His presence above all else in our daily lives.
Friends, some weeks feel like a treadmill stuck on high speed. Our calendars crowd us, our phones buzz at us, and our souls sigh within us. We try to keep up appearances while our insides ache for an anchor. Have you felt that slow leak of peace, that subtle drift of the heart when worries and ...read more

"It’s Just A Matter of Time" (Eccl. 3:1 & 2) Does anyone here know what time it is? How do you look at the day and time we live in? Do you see this hour as if it is just one hour of millions you have in your life? Allow me to give you some possible measurements of time: • 1 picosecond (1 ...read more

Jesus came to give us life, but we are at war. Therefore, we must wake up and fight for our life.
WAKE UP AND FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE! OPENING FUNNY STORY: As the coals from our barbecue burned down, our hosts passed out marshmallows and long roasting forks. Just then, two fire trucks roared by, sirens blaring, lights flashing. They stopped at a house right down the block. All twelve of us raced ...read more

Emphasize the importance of abiding in God's vineyard, as it brings blessings and protection, while not abiding can lead to danger and separation from God.
Good morning, dear friends and fellow believers! Today, we will be diving into a passage from the Book of Isaiah, where God extends an invitation to each one of us to abide in His vineyard. This passage speaks to the blessings that come from abiding in the vineyard and the danger of not abiding in ...read more

It’s not enough to rely on our saved status as Christians. We need to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in fleeing temptation, in battling temptation, in staying above reproach. We can learn from the mistakes of our ancestors, the ancient Israelites.
1 Corinthians 10:1-13 Standing Strong Against Evil Last week we looked at how Jesus withstood temptation from Satan in the wilderness.

How many of us can remember the day of 55 mph. It seemed like forever to get to our destination. With the age of the Superhighway, all of us desire to get on it and go, but when it comes to the spiritual road, we need to stay on the narrow way.
In this modern age of rapid travel and wide high-speed highways, it is possible to travel across counties and even states without the inconvenience of two-way traffic, speed zones or stop signs. It is not like the narrow often rough, roads that we traveled a few short years ago. Speed was limited, ...read more
Scripture: Matthew 7:13-14
For Good Friday: sometimes we no longer see things because we are too close to them. The disciples saw the cross "at a distance", but the centurion saw it through his callousness, cynicism, and skepticism, and affirmed, "Certainly".
Sometimes when you are too close to something you cannot see it. Or at least you cannot recognize what it is. You can be so close that you do not know what you are looking at. You need somebody else to give you a fresh perspective. My wife and I buy grocery items when they are on ...read more
Scripture: Luke 23:44-49
Not neccesarily just an Easter message. Even with all of the wondrous signs that the close followers of Jesus had observed, they were still without understanding of what Jesus had come to do. We suffer much the same.

Why are so many people unable to obtain intimacy with God the way Paul did? Intimacy with God means that one has such a tight relationship that your thoughts are closely related with His all of His attributes

We will explore what Paul teaches about spiritual gifts. I think a great deal of controversy could have been avoided on this topic if people would have simply studied this a little more closely.
Church conflicts happen for pretty unusual reasons. In the 1890s there was a small Baptist church in Mayfield County, Kentucky. The church had just two deacons, and those two men seemed to be constantly arguing and bickering with each other. On a particular Sunday, one deacon put up a small wooden ...read more
