    The Unity Of Love

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 13, 2023
     | 1,998 views

    Paul's desire was that the Church would be unified, but what does that look like? We live in a time when the church seems fragmented and divided, and that is affecting who we reach and don't reach people.

    The Unity of Love If nothing else, you need to love the sixties and seventies for their awesome sense of style. The band was “The Brotherhood of Man,” the year was 1970, and the message of the song was spelled out in its title “United we stand, divided we fall.” Interesting tidbit about the ...read more

     | 3,080 views

    News of impending death comes more of a shock the younger we are. What is our attitude to all this? How do we digest it mentally and emotionally? Here we look at death for a Christian, setting one’s house in order, and specifically at King Hezekiah who was about to die.

    In the incident of the furious storm on the Sea of Galilee, the disciples learn something about dealing with fear through faith. Who is Jesus? He is God and is Lord of the storm.

    Introduction: A. Let’s begin with two questions: Have you ever been really afraid of something? What is the scariest situation you have ever experienced? B. Let me share a terrifying experience that took place when I was very young, probably 14 or 15. 1. It wasn’t funny at the time, but our ...read more

    The Blame Game!

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,906 views

    You know what "The Blame Game" is don’t you? Because we’ve all played it! Admittedly some of us play it a lot more than others, but it’s really all just a game of personal deflection. It involves blaming everything and everyone else (including God) for what is transpiring in your own life

    “THE BLAME GAME” Tonight we are going to take a brief interlude away from our ongoing study on... “...Those things which are most surely believed among us” (Luke 1:1) And instead, we’re going to talk about a little thing – I like to call “The Blame Game”. You know what The Blame Game is – don’t ...read more

    Be Cautious About Judging Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,716 views

    When believers criticize each other, it can actually drive people away from the church. Jesus warned about the consequences of criticizing others, and of the need to do some spiritual self-examination before passing judgement.

    This morning we are going to look at the spiritual issue of judging others. The applicable definition for the word “judge” in our main passage means, “to form a judgment or opinion” and to “decide upon critically.”(1) The key word here is “critically,” for when we judge others we are often ...read more

    Real Repentance

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Nov 7, 2021
     | 2,639 views

    Repentance means change. What was I doing before I repented? What kind of life was I leading before? And how will things be different now? That’s not a one-time question, but it’s asked day after day. What shall we do? We bear fruit, for the glory of the God who saved us.

    It’s a great privilege, being a minister of God’s Word. Yet preaching is a difficult job. What makes it hard is not really the years of study beforehand. It’s not the many hours spent every week writing sermons. It’s not even getting over the fear of public speaking. Preaching is difficult because ...read more
