     | 1,042 views

    As we look at the life of the apostle Paul in this passage of scripture, we see that he is in jail.

    Illus: A man that was in prison was asked, “What is the worst thing about prison?” He said, “The worst thing about prison is that you are here and everybody that you love and care for are out there!” Paul knew exactly what this man was talking about. He was in prison and those that he loved and ...read more

    A Biography Of Satan Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 13, 2025
     | 1,033 views

    This passage is one of the major Biblical passages in giving us information about Satan. What do we learn about him here?

    - This is considered one of the major Biblical passages in giving us details about Satan. Of course, it is written to the king of Tyre but the details (which we’ll unpack in the sermon) give ample reason to think this passage has two meanings. - The first is a straightforward prophecy about the ...read more

    When We Decide Evangelism Isn’t For Us To Do Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 22, 2025
     | 705 views

    This is a passage about a watchman. The analogy fits with our responsibility today to share the Good News. Unfortunately, that's a responsibility we often neglect.

    OPTIONAL? Many Christians do not see evangelism as a responsibility. - Ezekiel 33:1-11; Matthew 28:16-20. - [Unpack the responsibility to share but not the “blood on our hands” part.] - Unpack the passage and the responsibility that is put on the watchman. Explain the watchman analogy in that ...read more

    "Lord, Prepare Us For Your Advent”

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Feb 3, 2025
     | 454 views

    Just as many of us travel during December, Advent reminds us of Jesus' "travel plans" to serve as our Savior. We'll use the Apostle Paul's travel plans to visit the Thessalonians as our guide.

    It’s estimated that a record 80 million Americans traveled 50 miles or more over the Thanksgiving Holiday this year. Of course, the majority (a record 71.7 million) of those traveled by car. But today they anticipate that a record-breaking 3 million people will travel by air. Yes, travel plans ...read more

    The Resurrection - The Devoted Women At The Tomb – Resurrection Message For Easter – Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 29, 2023
     | 1,658 views

    How could the disciples be so thick that they would not believe the resurrection? Disbelief translated all the truth of the women’s testimony and joy to nonsense. As the fact of the resurrection spread, joy and excitement replaced the sorrow and defeatism they all had.

    THE RESURRECTION - THE DEVOTED WOMEN AT THE TOMB – RESURRECTION MESSAGE FOR EASTER – PART 2 We continue to examine this loyal group of women who went to the tomb early on Sunday morning carrying their prepared spices but when they arrived, the tomb was open and the body of Jesus was missing.

    Life is far from easy. When a believer goes through negative circumstances is it ok to share with others how hard your life has become? While seeking comfort from another believer is not a sin when does talking about the dark valleys become a sin?

    This is a non-traditional funeral message for my mom, for a largely Christian congregation

    Funeral Mama’s - Things I’m Grateful For I have to admit, this funeral is a little more difficult than many I have done. And I’m not talking about it being difficult because of the emotions that are involved, rather I’m talking about it being difficult because I couldn’t decide what to say. When ...read more

     | 1,631 views

    There are times we cry to the Lord in distress or because of sin. The Lord always hears us. We have a loving compassionate God who forgives our sin. All of us stand condemned but the Lord opened God’s presence for us. Our sins are remembered no more.

    THE SONGS OF ASCENT – PART 14 – PSALM 130 – FROM OUT OF THE DEPTHS TO GOD’S FORGIVENESS Just a reminder that this Psalm forms a collection of 15 psalms that were sung by the pilgrims travelling each year to the feasts of Jehovah in Jerusalem and they came as representatives from all over Israel. ...read more

    Influencers Series

    Contributed by Perry Fowler on Oct 10, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,017 views

    The word "influencer" is a big word in our culture. Moses was a big influencer in Judaism; but where did Jesus fit in? Who influenced the most? Moses or Jesus. Who influences your life the most? Jesus or someone with a platform? What difference does Jesus make? How does He influence us?

    Today, almost anyone can be a celebrity. With the expansion of social media there are people who with an iPhone and camera can become what is called “an influencer.” The title “influencer” is a huge word in our culture. Influencers are everywhere. The title “influencer” means: “to power to ...read more

    Repentance is not a one-time one-action in the Bible but is a spiritual process that involves turning away from sin and turning or returning to God.

    SORRY/NOT SORRY ACTS 3:19-20 #repentance INTRODUCTION… Background of “Sorry not Sorry” The phrase “sorry/not sorry” is a sarcastic way of acknowledging that someone might not like whatever you are saying or doing … but you don’t really care. “Sorry not sorry” is a new take on a time-honored ...read more

    Joy At Christmas Series

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Dec 20, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 330 views

    This sermon proclaims that the true joy of Christmas is not found in changing circumstances or earthly comfort, but in the unshakable, eternal joy that comes from God drawing near in Christ—who lived, suffered, died, and rose again to secure our salvation and remain with us through every trial.

    To begin our discussion this morning, let’s do a quick, informal congregational survey. I’m going to describe a few scenarios. If the scenario brings you joy, give me a thumbs up. If it brings discomfort, frustration, or sorrow—give me a thumbs down. Just respond honestly. First scenario: ...read more
