  • Burning Coals

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Feb 26, 2014
     | 11,774 views

    We recently reintroduced a song which contained the lyrics "Take the coal, cleanse my lips, here I am". Most of the people in the church had no idea what they meant. Sadly, this is not unusual. Isaiah 6 was a great study of the coal from the altar of God!

    Have you ever been driving somewhere and your mind is wandering and suddenly you realize, “How did I get here?” Are we ever like that in a worship service or when we go over our memory Scriptures or when we are singing in worship? What a beautiful song, "Take me into the holy of ...read more

    When the foundation of the second temple was laid there were both weeping and joyful shouting! Why? What caused those who had seen the first temple to weep? What caused the destruction of the first temple and the deportations in the first place? Creep ...

    Going back to the Old Testament today … 3 deportations of Israel/Judah - last one in 586 BC w/destruction of temple Nearly 50 years later Persia invaded and Babylon. Babylon philosophy of deportation vs Persian philosophy of returning and subjection. Cyrus, the King of Persia was moved by ...read more

  • Son Of The Living God

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Mar 11, 2014
     | 11,462 views

    Who do men say that I am? This is an awesome passage showing that the knowledge of who Jesus is comes from only God Himself. This is a grand statement on the Christ, the Son of the Living God. Verse 18 however has been hijacked and the truth must be told.

    This week was the beginning of lent. Lent was based on a 40 day fast that some people did in the early church attempting to emulate the 40 day fast of Jesus that took place immediately after His baptism. Over the years it has become connected with the 40 days preceding the resurrection of Jesus ...read more

  • Evangelism

    What should our attitude be when we evangelize? What should we expect and be prepared for? Also, there just might be one surprising category of people to whom the Lord wants us to reach.

    Colossians 4:2-6 “Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. “Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. Be wise in the way you ...read more

  • Evangelism 2

    What is our motivation for evangelism? Are we safe in our "cocoon" of personal salvation or do we see the lost people of the world as those who are truly in danger of an eternity without the Lord?

    Last Sunday we took a look at some of the attitudes we need and which we might encounter as we seek to tell others about the salvation that can only be found in Jesus Christ. We need to be ready for some “push back” - preconceived ideas We need to be ready to engage the “down and ...read more

  • Evangelism 3

     | 4,513 views

    What must we be prepared for when we share the Gospel of Christ? What examples do we have to look at in the Bible? How should these examples prepare us for whatever may come our way when we share Christ?

    Today as we talk about evangelism I want to read the entire chapter of Daniel 5 from the NLT. Daniel Chapter 5 1 Many years later King Belshazzar gave a great feast for 1,000 of his nobles, and he drank wine with them. 2 While Belshazzar was drinking the wine, he gave orders to bring in the gold ...read more

    Short sermon preached as part of our church's 50th Anniversary celebration

    ANNIVERSARY SUNDAY A man was reading his paper early one morning at the breakfast table. His wife came over to him, gave him a hug, smiled, and said, “I bet you don’t know what today is, do you?” He looked at her and said, “Of course I know what day it is!” and went ...read more

  • He Cleanses Us Series

     | 6,017 views

    God loves us and shows it to us in many ways throughout the Old Testament, Gospels and Epistles. This sermon deals with how Jesus shows His love for us by cleansing us.

    So the story we read today in Mark, also recorded in Matthew 8 and in Luke 5, is a wonderful example of Jesus’ love for the unlovable. All throughout Scripture we see that God has a tender sensitivity for the outcast, the hurting, the sorrowful and the desperate. I said last week how He is ...read more

  • Do You Not Know? Have You Not Heard?

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Oct 24, 2013
     | 10,590 views

    What are the four of the attributes of God that we see in this one verse? Do our people know these truths of God? Do they not know? Have they not heard? If not, why not?

    Isaiah 40:27-31 “Why do you complain, Jacob? Why do you say, Israel, ‘My way is hidden from the LORD; my cause is disregarded by my God’? “Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or ...read more

  • Evil

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 1, 2013
     | 4,944 views

    Are we able to defend the faith taught in the Scriptures when a non-believer challenges us on the hard issues? What do we say, how do we respond when asked why the Lord allows evil and the resulting suffering?

    Deuteronomy 30:19-20a “This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. “Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold ...read more

  • Killing Jesus

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 4, 2013
     | 2,360 views

    When Bill O'reilly wrote Killing Jesus he meant it as a history book and not as a religious book. But did he accidentally meddle in our faith in the Holy Bible when he did so? Doubt in the Word of God has been a took of the devil from the beginning.

    Genesis 2:16-17 (NASB) “The LORD God commanded the man, saying, ‘From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.’” Genesis 3:1-3 (NASB) Now the ...read more

  • John Chapter 3 Part 1 Series

    Nicodemus. The first three verses of this chapter contain a surprising exchange between Nicodemus and Jesus. It is almost as if they are having completely different conversations. What is this all leading up to???

    John 3:1-15 “Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with ...read more

    Jesus and Nicodemus now get down to the nitty gritty about being born again.

    John 3:1-18 “Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with ...read more

  • A Thankful Heart: Is Not Worthy Series

    Contributed by Stephen Evans on Nov 27, 2013
    based on 2 ratings
     | 9,907 views

    In this series of messages we focus on cultivating a thankful heart and enemies that present themselves to prevent us from being truly Thankful people. This Message speaks about the enemy of "Entitlement."

    Thanksgiving is more than a day! I have often approached this time of the year with a little bit of remorse with regard to the attention that we I have given to the Subject of thanksgiving. It seems often times that our thoughts on the matter are often reserved for a day or perhaps a week of ...read more

  • Don't Lose The Cross In Christmas Series

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Dec 3, 2013
     | 5,256 views

    Distractions are often times intentional. They are created in order to get you to focus on the unimportant in order to prevent you from seeing what is really important. Can that happen at Christmas time? Do you really have to ask???

    John 3:16-18 “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. “Whoever believes in Him is ...read more
