Boot Camp Series

Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on May 7, 2012

It’s alarming to think of the numbers of people who don’t crack the cover of their Bibles from Sunday to Sunday. Some don’t even generate enough energy to pick it out of the pew and follow the reading, because the sense of its contents holds no interest a

I've Got Joy?

Contributed by Carla Powell on Dec 22, 2007

This sermon was preached on Gaudete (Joy) Sunday (3rd sunday in Advent). I wasn’t feeling very joy-filled, though I felt called to preach on joy (and used that hesitancy as part of the sermon focus). It’s my best "grumpy sermon on joy" ever.

It’s been a rough couple weeks for me. My wallet was stolen last Wednesday. My step-grandfather died – two days ago. I woke up feeling sick and lost my voice - yesterday. Almost got stuck in the snow last night. Had to park around the corner and traipse home in the deep snow with the wind whipping ...read more

Cast Down Your Strong Accusers Series

Contributed by Sunday E. Onukak on Jan 7, 2017

Without destiny, there will be no accuser. Without vision there will be no accuser. Accusers will always seek for a man of divine vision to accuse, because the work of accusers is to destroy and make the life of divine future carrire becomes useless.

And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the Accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them day and night.

A Warning Given

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jan 30, 2022

God has set warnings that come out of His word. These warnings are so we can get our lives right with God. If I could give a summary statement about Sunday’s message it would be, “A Warning Given,” “A Warning Taken,” and “A Deliverance Achieved.”
