    Contributed by Chris Anderson on Mar 11, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,225 views

    Part 1 of a 2-part sermon that examines the High Priestly Prayer of Jesus as he prayed for God’s glory to be displayed in his life, and as he prayed for victory for the disciples who will carry the work forward on his behalf.

    By show of hands this morning, let’s see how many of you remember these catch phrases from your childhood (my guess is that you responded to these, like I did, with an exaggerated eye roll but now you say some of them yourself): • Money doesn’t grow on trees. • Were you born in a barn? • They sure ...read more

    Painful But Profitable Series

    Message 1 in a series through James that helps us explore the relationship between faith and works in our lives. James was the half-brother of Jesus and the leader of the church in Jerusalem.

    Today, we’re starting a new series through the New Testament book of James called Faith & Works. I truly believe that you won’t find a more practical book in the entire Bible than James. Some of you may remember the For Dummies series of books that became popular 20-30 years ago and are still ...read more

    Message 6 in an expositional series through Paul's "second" letter to the church in the ancient Greek city of Corinth where he defends his apostleship and corrects serious doctrinal errors within this young church.

    Nearly two years after the start of the Civil War, the United States Congress passed the Enrollment Act of 1863 as a way of providing fresh manpower for the Union Army. The law required every male citizen between the ages of 20 and 45 to enroll in the Army. But the law was not received well by ...read more

     | 1,987 views

    We began a series of messages declaring that what the world needed was LOVE, God’s LOVE! There’s no greater need! There’s no great call! There’s no greater act of Courage!

    Text: Joshua 1:1-9 (1) Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying, (2) Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do ...read more

    Message 4 in a series through James that helps us explore the relationship between faith and works in our lives. James was the half-brother of Jesus and the leader of the church in Jerusalem.

    Today in our series, we move to chapter James 2 where James, the little brother of Jesus, and the leader of the Jerusalem Church, is going to teach on the sin of favoritism. So let’s think about that word for just a minute…favoritism. The word favoritism actually means to give preferential ...read more

    Message 7 in a series through James that helps us explore the relationship between faith and works in our lives. James was the half-brother of Jesus and the leader of the church in Jerusalem.

    If you have grown up in church, there is a good chance that somewhere along the way, you have heard this phrase, “Be in the world, but not of the world.” And depending on what church you grew up in, that could mean all kinds of things…but let’s be honest, sometimes that idea is what turns ...read more

    Message 12 in a series through James that helps us explore the relationship between faith and works in our lives. James was the half-brother of Jesus and the leader of the church in Jerusalem.

    There is a phrase we often use in our culture – we saved the best for last. I don’t know if the last part of James 5 is the BEST section because it is hard to measure that quantifiably. But one I can say for certain is that it is no doubt one of the most debated sections of the book of James and ...read more

    Contributed by David Owens on Mar 20, 2023
     | 2,835 views

    In today's section, Mark begins with the first words of Jesus as He proclaimed the Gospel in Galilee. Then Mark moved quickly into the calling of the first four disciples. There is much for us to learn about how to respond to the Master's call to be fishers of people.

    A. The kingdom of God is like a man who wanted to build a carousel and began to build a team and find the supplies he needed. 1. In 2008, a man named Gale Joh wanted to do something special for Kingsport, Tennesse, the place that had become his home. 2. He had grown up in Binghamton, NY, the ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,153 views

    In this section of Mark's Gospel, Mark draws our attention to the wonder and amazement of the people as they see the authority with which Jesus taught, and as they witness Jesus' power over demons and disease. As we put our faith in Christ and walk with Him, He continues to amaze us.

    A. Let’s start with a little humor about magic. 1. Did you hear about the magician who did magic with chocolate? I heard he had loads of Twix up his sleeve. 2. Once there was a magician doing a magic show in Mexico. As he was doing a trick he said, “Uno, dos,” and then disappeared without a ...read more

    Be Your Own Boss!

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 23, 2022
     | 1,430 views

    Most Americans work and much of their life is controlled by someone else. There certainly is nothing wrong with that. This country could not operate unless people were willing to fill the jobs that are needed.

    Some jobs require a lot from folks who apply for them. It is essential to find qualified people to fill these jobs. Illus: A few months ago, there was an opening with the CIA for an assassin. Two men and a woman applied for this job. The day came for the final test to see which person would get ...read more

    Right On The Money Part 2

     | 1,473 views

    Did you know that God’s Word has more to say about money than any other thing in the New Testament?

    Also, probably money and things related to money are talked about more than any other thing today. It seems that everyone is trying to figure how to get as much money as they can. Illus: A young fellow by the name of Sammy liked to hang out at the local grocery store. The owner didn't know ...read more

    Be Careful What You Pray For

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022
     | 3,250 views

    We have to remind many people to pray because the devil will see to it that our lives are filled with people and things so we do not have time to even think about praying.

    But some of us do not have to be reminded because there are all kinds of emergencies that come up each day that remind us to pray. Illus: A mother and her five year old son were headed to McDonald's. On the way they passed a car accident. Whenever the mother saw something terrible like that, ...read more

    Are You Fit To Be Tied Part V

     | 1,238 views

    In the 1992 presidential election, family values became one of the main issues when the candidates began campaigning.

    Immediately the liberals made such mockery of bringing it up that the subject was dropped and barely mentioned any more, because the anti-family people made it seem that they were in the majority. The politicians who were for family values, realized that if they were going to stand a chance of ...read more

    In the 1992 presidential race FAMILY VALUES were mentioned time and time again.

    Liberals across the land stated repeatedly that family values would not play any part in choosing their candidate. Such a statement is incomprehensible. When we hear liberals, across the land, state that family values are not important in a presidential election, we want to say, “Will you please ...read more
