    We fall prey to the distorions of false prophets when: 1. We do not take evil seriously. 2. We do not take truth seriously. 3. We do not take doctrine seriously.

    The Wichita Eagle newspaper recently ran an interesting story. There was a pond in the middle of a housing development that was kept stocked with fish. Evidently, a child had thrown a toy basketball and it rolled into the pond. One of the residents saw the ball bouncing around in a strange ...read more

    What Was The Significance Of Both Jesus And Peter Walking On The Water?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Apr 14, 2025
     | 520 views

    If walking on water takes faith, then every day living takes just as much faith for us to respond to the Lord with.

    What was the Significance of Both Jesus and Peter Walking on the Water? Matthew 14:24-33 There are actually two separate sermons within this passage of Scripture (vs 22-23 & 24-33). The first part speaks of Jesus’ time alone with the Father. But for this message, I want to focus on the second ...read more

    It takes the armor of God for us to be able to stand in the heat of battle.

    The Enemy Comes, are you ready?(Eph.6:10-18) Illustration: My life fell apart in the summer of ‘68. One minute I was the happiest man in the world then wham! It was all over.

     | 7,549 views

    Most people attempt to give something up for Lent. But is what we give up for Lent beneficial to us or to God?

    This past Wednesday, the collective whole of the Christendom observed Ash Wednesday. A day in the church year when we are reminded of our mortality, but more importantly, reminded of our reliance on God, both for life in this world and for life in the next. This day is the mark of the beginning of ...read more

    My friend, if you don’t take charge of the changes taking place in your life, someone else will.

    WHOM WILL HE TEACH? Text: Isaiah 28:8 thru 13 Following the Sunday morning service, the pastor stood at the back of the church, shaking hands with the worshipers as they left. As one man was leaving, he looked intensely at the pastor and said, "Powerful sermons, Pastor. Thoughtful, well ...read more

    2nd Pentecost 11 Life and simple acts of kindness. Mathew 10: 40-42 This morning’s gospel is one of the shortest in the lectionary only being 2 verses long so I wanted to back up and take in two more verses so that this will make more sense to you the hearer. 38* and he who does not take his ...read more

    We come today to the end of our series of sermons on the book of Ephesians. One of the things I hope you’ve noticed as we’ve gone through this book is the breadth of Paul’s horizons.

    We treat the Word of God like an All-You-Can-Eat-Buffet. We pick up and take the things that appeal to us, but leave behind and untouched things that challenge us. Why have 10 Commandments when you can enjoy only 8?

    When I was in college, there was a restaurant that we loved to go to. It was an all you could eat type of place, which explains why I look the way I look today. We would go and stand in line in the buffet and pick all those things we wanted to eat -- shrimp, crab, clams, hushpuppies, French ...read more

    Having grown up in hte desert, I know how harsh the place is and how tempting the options presented by hte devil really are. On the surface the temptations seem harmless and perhaps even good in the right hands but they all take our attention off God.

    I grew up going to the desert, and thought that I knew what the desert lands are all about. I’ve been camping many times in the Anza Berrego wilderness and understand that the desert is a harsh and foreboding place. I know to stay on the trails, look for snakes and take lots of extra water.
