“i Am The True Vine” Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Feb 26, 2013

If we are going to live fruitful lifes of eternal significance, we must maintain a meaningful connection to Jesus, the true Vine.

Our Lord uses the analogy of the vine and the branches to speak to us about how our lives are designed to be fruitful, filled with purpose and significance. Jesus is the vine, God the Father is the vine grower, and believers are the branches. God looks for fruit in the lives of His people. In ...read more

Wrestling With God Series

Contributed by Paul Barreca on Mar 2, 2013

Here, God empties Jacob of his NATURAL effort and teaches Jacob to trust Him completely.

What images come to mind when I mention the word wrestling? For some, it is an image of a High school wrestling match. Others happily envision Dad wrestling with his son. And a few of us think of the theater of “professional wrestling” with Iron Rings of death and tag team death ...read more

What Is In Your Hand? (Part 4) Series

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 12, 2015

You might have something in your hand which is insignificant to the world. Do you still want to hold on to it or let it become a blessing for others? How can you really impact with what is placed in your hand?

Contributed by Ronald Thorington on Mar 11, 2015

A New And Different Kingdom Series

Contributed by Rick Pendleton on Oct 30, 2012

The kingdom of God is not a place, but rather it is a realm... "it is the invisible realm where God rules as supreme authority."

But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you" (Matthew 6:24, 32-33). Last week we talked about ...read more

Spirit Of Adoption!

In this sermon outline we share a little of what we are in Christ as a believer. Also, the old traditional ceremony of the 'Adoption ceremony' performed in Bible Days. One day we shall be like the Lord when we see Him.

SPIRIT OF ADOPTION! Romans 8:14-17 (KJV) 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with ...read more

What Are You Willing To Pay?

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Aug 7, 2012

As believers we are called to discipleship that is to be an ever growing closer walk and relationship with Christ. But following Christ, being a disciple, comes at a cost. The question is “What are you willing to pay to follow Christ?”

What Are You Willing to Pay? 2 Samuel 24:24 It has always amazed me the contrast between people at an auction and those at a garage sale. You can have the same identical item that sells in an auction for a hundred dollars while in a garage sale people are not willing not to spend even one dollar ...read more

“make The Commitment” Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Jan 21, 2013

If our lives are going to count for Christ, we need to make the daily commitment to live for Him as opposed to living for ourselves.

We are thinking about how we, as believers, can “Get In The Game” for God and live lives that count for Christ. We said we can know we’ve “Got Game” if we: Go for the gold; Aim for excellence; Make the commitment; & Expect God to work. In “going for the ...read more

Is That Good Enough Lord ?

Contributed by Travis Leib on May 15, 2018

The urgency to do whatsoever God tells us, and to do it with all diligence.

John, chapter 2, gives us the account of the beginning of the miracles of Jesus. But within this miracle gives us a glimpse of how God works if we will obey.

Do all you can with all you have.

I enjoy smelling things…well, most things. When Beth and I end up in a store that has perfume and cologne testers, I like to try out the different aromas.
