    What Our cross really is

    Mini-Sermon-Moses, shepherd’s rod. This rod was not only for his protection; it was part of his life. In the culture of the Middle East in those days, a person was identified with his rod, another name for staff. For those familiar with the story of Judah and Tamar, this was the reason why ...read more

    All batteries need to be charged to be effective. The Holy Spirit "charges up" the disciples and empowers them to take Jesus' message out to the world.

    Charging Up   • Electric cars. Different spots to plug in and charge up. • Hyundai develops universal charging station based on car wash wands. • The charger looks like this: [image] • It’s a universal charger. • Cars aren’t the only thing that aren’t “one size fits all.” • Let’s take that ...read more

    Ash Wednesday (B). Too often we focus on our outward behavior, our sins. But the root of our problem is not sins, but sin, our sinful nature. Joel urges us to "Turn to God and live."

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. “Give up giving up” What are you giving up for Lent? Anything? Some people give up something for lent. Not with the purpose of earning ...read more

    This sermon explores Jesus' foretelling of His suffering, Peter's misunderstanding, and the call to embrace self-denial and the cross for the Kingdom of God.

    Good morning, beloved family of God. It's such a joy to come together in this sacred sanctuary, where the echoes of our collective praises rise to the heavens and the whispers of God's Word soften our hearts. We're gathered here today, not by chance or circumstance, but by the divine appointment of ...read more

    Spiritual indecision leads to sickness and ultimately to death. We are scared of taking risks. Black history shows us, however, that without accepting risk there is no progress.

    You should be a fly on the wall around our house on Friday evenings. You see, Friday evenings are our night for ourselves. We try not to take on church things on Fridays, and unless you are at the point of death, you can wait for your pastoral call until Saturday morning. The pastor and his ...read more

    Today we must give thanks for the gift of Jesus. His self-giving knew no limits and doesn’t stop giving even now.

    Good Friday 2025 I’ve frequently thought that the best approach to a homily for Good Friday would be to stand and look at the biggest cross or crucifix and focus on the pain and torment Jesus underwent two thousand years ago. I’ll encourage you to do that sometime in the next couple of days before ...read more

    God wants us to wake up: 1. To the responsibility of His riches (vs. 8-13). 2. To the treasure of our time (vs. 12-14). 3. To the legacy we can leave (vs. 15). 4. To the glory of God (vs. 15-18).

    Explore and understand the deliberate and intentional healing power of Jesus, demonstrating His love, compassion, and authority as prophesied in Isaiah, and how it applies to us as His uniquely created and loved beings.

    Good morning, church family! Today, we're going to dive deep into Matthew 8:17. Before we get there, I want to share a quote with you from Max Lucado, who said, "You weren't an accident. You weren't mass-produced. You aren't an assembly-line product. You were deliberately planned, specifically ...read more

    Standing Up For What’s Right

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Sep 3, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 23,338 views

    Sometimes we have to stand up for what's right. We need to remember that God knows our plight, we need to fear God above people, and we need to humbly take a stand. The Hebrew midwives in Egypt stood up to Pharaoh, and God remembered them for it.

    Exodus 1:8-21 Standing Up for What’s Right Recently I watched the movie, “Hacksaw Ridge.” It documents the true story of Private First Class Desmond Doss, who enlisted as an Army medic during World War II, but refused for religious reasons to carry a weapon.

    There comes a time in our lives when we have to step out and step up in our faith at life's challenges but we can succeed as we move in obedience to His Word and Spirit

    Joshua 1:1-9 KJV Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying, 2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, ...read more

    In our text today this is a conditional promise.

    Notice the condition on which this promise is made. The Lord said, if we are faithful unto death, He would give us a CROWN OF LIFE. He did NOT say, “If you are faithful a few short weeks, months or years I will give thee a Crown of Life”. The promise is made to those who are faithful unto ...read more
