    A Litmus Test Of Spiritual Well-Beng

    Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Mar 5, 2022
     | 1,385 views

    Using the analogy of a litmus test, this sermon juxtaposes the traits of arrogance over against the traits that reflect the DNA of love. It explores the inclusion of 1 Corinthians 13 sandwiched between chapters 12 and 14.

    “Litmus test” is a process used to determine the nature of something. In the 14th century scientists discovered that litmus, a mixture of colored organic compounds obtained from lichen, turns red in acid solutions and blue in alkaline solutions and, thus, can be used as an acid-base indicator. ...read more

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jun 21, 2022
     | 1,873 views

    This sermon is an introduction to a 6 Part Series providing a brief overview of each element: First, Jesus was God attentive. Second, he was compassion oriented. Third, he was sacramentally minded. Fourth, he was word centered. Fifth, he was spirit empowered. And Sixth, he was sin resistant.

    Some of you know that last week I graduated with my doctorate. Thank you very much for the cards. But you may not know that I had to learn about the periodic table of the elements. In fact, I had to memorize the entire table. I don’t want that information to go to waste, so I thought I would ...read more

    Under The Sun: Monotony Series

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jun 30, 2022
     | 1,678 views

    The focus of this sermon is on King Solomon's view that life lived apart from God can be totally meaningless and monotonous

    How many of you have ever had a job that is just really monotonous and boring? Some of you have a job like that now. I had a job back in the 80s that actually was a well-paying job, but I didn’t even make it through the training because it was so boring and monotonous. It was a job as a letter ...read more

    Reality Distortion Series

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jul 3, 2022
     | 1,598 views

    This sermon focuses on our limited view of reality and how Paul distorts that reality by exploring the resurrection reality that has been made possible through Jesus Christ.

    How many of you happened to be here a few weeks ago when I showed the State Farm commercial as the opening illustration? The point was to show how easily it is to misunderstand a conversation, especially if you are only hearing one side of it. This week, when I was working on my sermon, I was ...read more

    The Significance Of Insignificance Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,045 views

    God is the only One Who has the authority to define us. When you and I draw our core identity from God, then so many of the issues of insignificance and emotional issues that plague us in our culture go away.

    David's speech to Goliath shows his trust in God Almighty that He delivers and saves. We need that same faith and trust in God as we navigate life.

    Living In The Kingdom Part 7 Series

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Nov 19, 2021
     | 1,764 views

    Part 7 of this series reviews "why" Jesus had the "right" and "authority" to say what He says in His Sermon on the Mount. These are the non-negotiable that Christians should believe relating to Christ.

    Living In The Kingdom 7 Scripture: John 3:13; 14:6; First Peter 2:4; Hebrews 4:15 Last week I shared with you what Jesus said about Himself fulfilling the Law and the Prophets.

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,384 views

    Every year we see American culture feed the flesh and cling to the world view of celebrating Christmas, which is the surmise of misrepresenting a person’s good name. This is especially true of Saint Nicholas, who is referred to now by the modern-day name, Santa Claus.

    Purpose, Please Stand Up

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 12, 2025
     | 110 views

    Purpose rises when God’s word defines us, God’s anointing empowers us, and we step into the valley knowing the battle belongs to the Lord.

    There are moments in Scripture when God doesn’t whisper purpose—He shakes it into the bones of His people. And one of those moments erupts in 1 Samuel 17 when a young shepherd boy, overlooked by his family and underestimated by everyone else, stands on a battlefield and shouts a question that ...read more

    PSALM 32 – GOD’S GUIDELINES FOR DECISION MAKING In the movie “City Slickers,” Billy Crystal plays a confused, dissatisfied character with a vague sense that life is passing him by.

    The Suffering Church (The Church Of Smyrna 2 Of 7)

     | 502 views

    You will notice that of the seven churches that John addressed, he gave the least amount of space to the church of Smyrna.

    All he had to say about the church of Smyrna he was able to cover in just four verses. However, we must not think less of this church, or feel they were insignificant just because there are less verses given to them. Why? Because there were only two of the seven churches ...read more

    It’s Not About The Prodigal Son

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jul 16, 2025
     | 561 views

    This message is about three parables that Jesus told that, although separated in Scripture, is really one message about how we should respond when someone repents and accepts Christ as Lord and Savior.

    It’s Not About The Prodigal Son The title of my message this morning is “It’s Not About the Prodigal Son.” This sermon title might not make sense to some of you but I promise you that by the end you will understand what the Spirit is saying to us through this title.

    Backstabbers

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Aug 12, 2025
     | 381 views

    Jesus didn’t treat Judas any differently than He did the other Twelve. Shakespeare cannot have Jesus say, “Et tu, Judas,” because Jesus knew what was coming. And even though Jesus knew what was coming, He didn’t treat Judas any differently than He did any other disciple over those three years.

    Find John 13 with me, if you will. Many of you recognize the phrase “Et Tu, Brute?” immediately. It’s Latin for “You too, Brutus?” It’s a quote from Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar, where the Roman dictator speaks to his friend Marcus Junius Brutus. Caesar recognizes Brutus as one of his ...read more
