     | 5,383 views

    Being in God’s "top 40" requires faith that takes action and makes a commitment.

    Contrary to my children’s belief I was not a child of the 30s, 40s, 50s, or even 60’s. Granted I was born in the 60’s but I was too young to be part of that decade. I was a child of the 70’s and all those things that came with it. Bell bottoms and polyester pants, pet rocks, the Brady Bunch, ...read more

    This sermon takes a look at the David & Goliath narrative with a contemporary eye to the Zorro and Superman movies.

    It’s funny that as we grow up we sometimes develop tastes that we never had as a child. For instance, I never liked salad as a child, but developed a taste for Caesar Salad as an adult. While I still don’t like broccoli, somewhere along the way I developed a deep enjoyment of good coffee. ...read more

     | 36,253 views

    What does it take to realize the God given potential each has been given?

    A few weeks ago I said one element of success is growing to your maximum potential. Growth requires change and without change, we are not stimulated to being successful. Consider this question. How many of you feel today that God has a bigger purpose for you then you have yet attained, that ...read more

    Are you prepared for Christmas? It takes more than a tree to find the real joy in Christmas.

    How to Prepare for Christmas 1. Attention ILL>> One of my favorite Christmas movies is the Christmas Story. It is the one where the little boy wants a Red Rider B-B Gun. His mother said, “You will shoot your eyes out, no you can’t have a B-B gun”. Even Santa said, “You will shoot your eyes ...read more

    This takes a look at the opening verses of II Thessalonians as Paul brings a word of encouragement to this church.

    Symbols are very important - In light of the overwhelming power of Christ, it is unwise to take him lightly…

    Tomorrow morning, of course, is Memorial Day. Memorial Day is that sacred day which Congress set us aside to remind us that your local car dealership has deep discounts on new and used vehicles. Oh wait, that’s not right. That’s the day we set aside to tell us that summer is starting and the pool ...read more

    Respectable ... But Deadly Sin

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 6, 2007
     | 2,386 views

    It takes more than knowledge of Jesus Christ for salvation. It requires a personal relationship with Him.

    If I were to ask you if you are a sinner, what would you think of? Murder, adultery, theft, drunkenness, or some other of the most obvious evils? If so, the chances are that you would insist you are not guilty of any of these. One man said he felt it was an insult to call him a sinner. Obviously, ...read more

     | 5,500 views

    God will give you an escape route from sin....but will you TAKE IT?

    Some of you will accuse me of stereotyping men as being somewhat simple, but when it comes to sex and women most men are. Chris Rock the comedian once said, “A man is only as faithful as his options”. That of course was meant to be funny, but there is a thread of truth to this ...read more

    God’s command of forgiveness becomes personal when we take ownership.

    Some years ago, a 14-foot bronze crucifix was stolen from Calvary Cemetery in Little Rock, Arkansas. It had stood at the entrance to that cemetery for more than 50 years. The cross was put there in 1930 by a Catholic bishop and had been valued at the time at $10,000. The thieves apparently cut it ...read more

    Is That Right?

     | 3,868 views

    An unusual take on the truism: God will not put more on us than we can handle.

    Is That Right? 1 Cor 10:13 I have bad news for some of you, today. I am going to de-bunk one of your truisms. A truism is a saying that is universally believed to be self-evident or obviously true. “A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do” “What goes up must come ...read more

     | 4,302 views

    Straightforward discussion of consequences of backsliding and what it takes to fully recover from backsliding state

    Every genuine Christian hates backsliding. The mere mentioning of the word should fill a good believer with holy anger and grave watchfulness. 1. Result of Backsliding (a) Captivity and demonic oppression. Judges 4:1-3, 6: 1-6 When there is backsliding, God stops defending the backsliding and he ...read more

    God teaches the importance of the gospel ministry, It's a gift that we should not take for granted.

    1 Kings 19:19-21; 2 Kings 2:1-15, 23-25 Bullies, bears, and a baldy. Did I capture your attention when I read the Old Testament lesson this morning? It was a longer than usual reading, but if your mind started to wander, I bet you sat up when you heard how two bears mauled 42 young men for making ...read more
