    From Suffering To Glory

    Contributed by Pastor Randall Timblin on Jul 19, 2017
     | 8,557 views

    We will all suffer for we live in a decaying world. Many will persecute Christians simply because they hated Jesus. Regardless, we must look ahead for to be glorified because the time for suffering won't last.

    Do we know and understand that God’s creation has/is patiently been waiting for God’s elect? They have been waiting for a long time, in fact for more than a couple millennium. They are waiting for us to join them. They are waiting for the curse to be over. Who then is waiting for us? The ...read more

     | 9,048 views

    Jesus' challenge to the host in Luke 14, that he should not invite those who could serve his needs but those whose needs he could serve, challenges the worldly approach to human relationships.

    Luke 14:1-14 "The Banquet" INTRODUCTION The word "Stewardship" has gained an ugly reputation in Christian circles. It is frequently associated with congregational pleas for more money. The word has lost its wholistic dimension. Stewardship, or if you prefer, good management is no longer ...read more

    Many people make the mistake of reading what the Bible says in Exodus 20:13, “You shall not kill,” and then seek to apply this command to war.

    Fight We Must Revelation 12:7-17 Message: It’s not easy to explain why we have war in our world or to explain what the Bible says about war. In my study of this issue I found this explanation helpful from “gotquestions.org.” “Many people make the mistake of reading what ...read more

    Three characteristics that a Christian is challenged to make a part of his or her life are: authenticity, availability, and affirmation.

    Luke 10:29-37 “AAA Road Servant” INTRODUCTION I suspect that a few of us here have made some New Year’s resolutions. Whether it is to lose weight, pay off debts, relax more, or spend more time with the family, our resolutions display our desire to live better, fuller lives. ...read more

    As citizens of the Kingdom of God our Christlike character is vital as a witness to his grace for His glory.

    Titus 3:1-11 KJV Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, 2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. 3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, ...read more

    A funeral message for a faithful servant of Christ whose life reflected His undying loyalty and absoulte faith in Christ.

    A Life of Faith Hebrews 11:13-16 As we gather in tribute to our brother in Christ at his home-going and consider his life and influence the one thing that rings out so laudably is that he was a man of faith whose life was characterized by his faith. He was saved through faith, lived by faith, and ...read more

    This sermon deal with our value in Christ. Without God we are nothing, yet as believers we are highly valued by God.

    What are you worth? Psalm 103:14 (ESV) For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust. Looking around the world that we find ourselves in, I’ve come to the conclusion that people as a whole do not value life. We don’t value ourselves, we don’t value one another. When ...read more

    Walking In God’s Love

    Contributed by Laren Whaley on Feb 15, 2012
     | 9,588 views

    Because God has loved us and received us as one of His own we must move and live in that love. The world ‘s definition of love is not love at all. The world around us always asks what’s in it for me and always centers on self-first, then maybe others.

    Walking In God’s Love 1 Corinthians 13:1 - 13 (NKJV) 1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, ...read more

    Many people have the misconception that there are several ways to get to heaven but Jesus tells us there is only one.

    “Better To Be Sure Than Sorry” Who in this room wants to go to heaven? Heaven is our hope and our goal for the Christian life and obviously everyone wants to go to heaven and I realize with this message I am going to be preaching to the choir. But a ...read more

    When the pursuer is at your heels and you are exhausted; it can look like the battle is all but over. That is when you can do the right thing "get broken" before God. He will change the whole scheme of things and you will become the pursuer and have the

    We are NOT called to defend THE faith, but rather to stand up for OUR faith.

    Defenders of the Faith? One of the most frequently misapplied verses in the Bible is I Peter 3:15-17. It is often taken out of context and used to prompt believers into being defenders of the faith! It says, “But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an ...read more
