    What Good Is Church?

     | 6,629 views

    Church is taking a bashing, but it was created and called for by God.

    We live in a time in the Western Church where people are seeing less and less value in attending church. They say that God is omnipresent and in our hearts so why can’t we just be part of the invisible church? Why can’t we be Digital Disciples and just watch ...read more

    What Is Your Willoughby?

    One of my favorite episodes of The Twilight Zone is "A Stop At Willoughby". It's about a man who is so unhappy with his life that he dreams of little town where life is easy. There are many Christians who are like the story's main character.

    When I was growing up one of my favorite programs was The Twilight Zone. I have been accused of, from time to time, still living in the Twilight Zone! That’s okay. One of my favorite episodes is “A Stop at Willoughby”. The story is about a guy named Gart Williams. Now in my best Rod Sterling ...read more

    What Is Your Excuse?

     | 10,730 views

    Three men and three different excuses as to why they couldn't follow Jesus. We can learn from their mistakes to live out our calling with passion and to keep from letting the world distract us from this important mission.

    MANY OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH “ALICE IN WONDERLAND.” IN THE MOVIE, ALICE FINDS HERSELF AT A FORK IN THE ROAD.

    What Are You Missing?

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 20, 2018
     | 8,530 views

    Today I want to look at an encounter between Jesus and a “Rich Young Ruler”. Kind of like Jesus meets Mark Zuckerberg. The rich seem to have everything yet this very, very rich young man knew he was missing something. What are you missing?

    What one thing do you lack? Mark 10:17-34 The Rich Young Ruler We are now just four weeks away from Easter Sunday 2018. Easter happens to be on April 1st, April Fool’s Day. I kind of think that God the Father enjoys the irony in that one. Satan really was a fool to think he could kill Jesus ...read more

    Every story has a beginning, middle, and ending. Pauls did. What about you?

    I want to tell you a story. This story is about a very well know man in the Bible. A very religious man. A man who was regarded very high amongst his peers, but brought great fear to those he opposed. I am speaking of a man named Saul.

    Opening Remarks and Introduction Tonight, we start a new sermon series on stewardship.

    It was the Passover and Jesus instituted the Lord's Supper and out of all that happened that Thursday evening at the table, they went out singing a hymn.

    The scene is the last supper on Thursday evening; Calvary is next on the agenda; supper being over, Jesus said, "I will not drink henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my father's kingdom, verse 29: And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the ...read more
