Sermons on Support Your Leader:

Your Money Or Your Life?

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 25, 2023

Jesus asks us to hold ALL of God’s gifts lightly, to be ready to give them up, if necessary, to follow him. But it’s hard. And the more you have, the harder it is.

Do any of you remember the story of the poor fisherman and his wife, who caught a magic fish, who granted them 3 wishes? Or Aladdin and his wonderful lamp (not the Disney version)? Or all the other fairy tales involving magic and wishes and unexpected consequences? When I was young I used to spend ...read more

In fact JESUS HIMSELF told us that as things escalate one of the signs of the end times is that we will be handed over for death by even our own relatives. Truly, ...read more

The Two Pillars Of Godly Support: Belief And Love - 1john 3:23 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 5, 2022

Some Christians, when they are more established, very imperceptibly, lessen the trust in the Lord, and place it more in their own ability and decision-making. Not consciously, but bit by bit, they take back control of their own lives, and wonder why God seems absent. We look at belief and love.

Presidents' Days Series

Contributed by Perry Greene on Dec 29, 2020

While all of our Presidents have not been devout Christians, many have. Many of these deserve our respect and attention. They teach us about God through their words and actions.
