    Drop the fluff and the internet cutsie stories; send a clear message of the need for repentance and the obedience of faith!

    (“And Can it Be?” – C. Wesley) “Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, ‘Brethren, what shall we do?’ And Peter said to them, ‘Repent, and let each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; ...read more

    The story of Ruth is proof that love is not what you say. It’s what you do.

    Frederick William 1 ruled Prussia in the early eighteenth century. He was said to be an eccentric man who stood on no ceremony. He would walk the streets of Berlin unattended, and when anyone displeased him he frequently beat them with his walking stick. It’s no wonder that Berliners often dove ...read more

    A look at what Christmas would look like if we removed everything connected with the Christmas Story.

    Have you noticed that every year people seem more intent on secularizing Christmas? They wish you a “Happy Holiday” or “Seasons Greetings” they have presentations at school that make no mention of the manger or the Wise Men let alone the Christ Child. Now I may be a ...read more

    Noah, Not The Movie Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Mar 23, 2014
     | 9,472 views

    The story of Noah is about more than a lot of rain and a lot of animals, ultimately it is about a promise.

    Has everyone heard about the movie coming out next week called Noah? That was the trailer for it. Now understand that Noah, the Movie is not the same as Noah the Bible story. And they’ve tried to tweak it to make it work, as a biblical epic, but it just doesn’t. They’ve tried ...read more

    Answering Rob Bell's Myths About The Resurrection

    Contributed by Keith Foskey on Apr 16, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,370 views

    Was the Resurrection a Myth concocted out of many ancient stories? Rob Bell seems to think so.

    Recently, I watched a video from a preacher named Rob Bell. He has attained a certain level of popularity recently due to his book Love Wins, which many evangelicals have denounced as a purely universalistic treatment of important Scriptural texts. Now, I may soon deal with Rob Bell’s claims ...read more

    The Feeding of the 5,000 is a great miracle story, but it wasn't the only miracle that happened that day.

    The Meal, the Message, and the Miracle Proper 13A – Matthew 14:13-21 -- August 3, 2014 Food! Be it blessed or tempting, it is filled with meaning that may not have anything to do with the food itself.

     | 4,097 views

    What is my personal story of hope? Where do I see hope through Christ?

    Last week we talked about the reason that we all have hope. We talked about the fact that God wants us so desperately and so passionately that He would die for us. And he did. And that is our story of hope as the body of Christ. But tonight, I want us to bring that point in a little closer to home. ...read more

    Easter morning sermon on people who carry the resurrection story into their lives and what it looks like.

    Well, good morning. Happy Easter! He has risen! He has risen indeed! Since it is Resurrection Sunday, I thought we would start out by reading through the resurrection story that is found in Luke 24:1-12. (Scripture read here.) Isn’t that a great story? It’s not only a great ...read more

    There are three ways for a Christian to accept the creation story in light of the archeological evidence stacked against us.

    Question: I want to believe the Bible but with so much science out there concerning evolution/creation, the Bible has become suspect at best. What about dinosaurs, dating back millions of years ago if the Bible says the earth is only about 6-8 thousand years old? For the Christian who hates being ...read more

    All the players in the Christmas story celebrated. Let us take our cue from them!

    The Celebration of Christmas Luke 2:1-20 * One of my most favorite Christian Christmas Songs is entitled, “Come on ring those bells.” One of the reasons that I love it so much is that it focuses on the “Celebration” of the Christ Child. The second verse goes like this, “Celebrations come because ...read more
