Plans And Prayers

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jul 26, 2022

The Reality Of Hell

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jan 23, 2024

People often question what it takes to get to heaven. People question and wonder what heaven is really like. But you never really hear anyone ask about what hell is like. It makes me wonder if people even realize how real hell is.

For the last couple of weeks you may have noticed that we have talked about Jesus being the only way to heaven and we considered the question “won't all people ultimately go to heaven?” People often question what it takes to get to heaven. People question and wonder what heaven is really like. ...read more

Living On A Fault Line

Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 21, 2023

We’re talking about living on the edge, about taking chances we know we shouldn’t, of ignoring God’s boundaries and violating God’s best will for our lives. Our whole nation is living on the fault line of God's Judgment!

LIVING ON A FAULT LINE Heb. 12:25-29 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A Texan, a North Korean, and a New Yorker were walking down the street when they were approached by a reporter. “Excuse me,” he said, “Could I have your opinion on the current food shortage in Ukraine?” 2.

Warning!!

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Apr 15, 2025

Many warnings are ridiculous, but there are also many that, if heeded, could save our lives. Like taking cover when a tornado hits, or turning around when the bridge is out. There are other warnings that are very important as well, and if not heeded will cause lasting hurt to our spiritual lives.

Alba 4-13-2025 WARNING!! I Corinthians 4:14-21 If there is danger ahead, it is good to have a warning. And it is wise to pay attention to the warning, whether it is a tornado siren, or a sign that says “Bridge Out”. But some warnings are worthless, ridiculous really, almost a joke. For ...read more

A Place For God To Dwell Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 19, 2024

Solomon said that the Temple he built wasn't big enough for God to live in... but we're told God dwelt there anyway. Why would God take up residence in the Temple (and the Tabernacle), and where does He dwell now?

A woman told of going to her Bible study at church and telling her 3-year-old son, Chad, they were going to God’s house. Each time they walked through the quiet sanctuary on their way to the nursery, Chad looked around in awe. It was a beautiful building. One day however, the child asked, ...read more

End Time Scripture Mines

Contributed by Samuel M on Aug 12, 2024

God, in His mercy, gave a young person a vision of end-time scripture mines. A heavenly visitor takes this young person ahead of time and guides him to a mountain’s peak. He can see a lot of calamities and natural disasters occurring towards the south direction.

The £50 Word – Thank You

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Oct 5, 2025

How often do you say thank you? It is so easy to take something or someone for granted when we should be grateful and all we have to do is say thank you. To say thanks doesn't cost anything but it means the world in gratitude.

THE £50 WORD – Thank YOU The Autumn is a wonderful time of the year – the changing colour of the leaves on the trees, the gathering of fruit and crops, all is safely gathered in. And if ever there was a theme for all this when we give thanks for the fruits of the earth we think of Harvest; a ...read more

Into The Spin Cycle Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Oct 23, 2025

As long as the judge lived, the people worshipped God (sort-of), however, after the judge died, it didn’t take long for the people to fall back into idol worship and rebellion – “They refused to give up their evil practices and stubborn ways.” – and back into the spin they would go.

Sermon - The Importance Of How We Live

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jun 12, 2025

In Proverbs 21:21-24 Solomon tackles once again the importance of how we live. All of us are living a life that is on a path, either to righteousness and kindness, which is the path of wisdom and what God desires, or we take a path toward evil and are separated from God.

Sermon - The Importance of How We Live Scripture - Proverbs 21: 21-24 “Whoever pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity and honor.

Can God Shake This Place?

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 30, 2024

Can an earthquake be a good thing? On first thought we would say no. But God can take things that seem bad and use them for something good. Today we’re going to see a good earthquake and ask the question, “Can God shake this place” too?

"Christmas Is For-Giving”

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Dec 8, 2024

We need to forgive for our own health and wellbeing. Like thanksgiving, forgiveness is one of the healthiest things we can do. Medical science has found that unforgiveness upsets our body’s chemical makeup taking us from heights of euphoria to depths of depression.

Contributed by Neal Gracey on Dec 13, 2024

Back To The 1960s Down Memory Lane, Then Back To The Present! Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 31, 2025

How much has changed! We take a journey back to the 1960s to see how songs expressed that generation. Who remembers those times? This message looks too, at the present, and some similar concerns but in a different dress. The word of God is our answer to pessimism and hopelessness.

BACK TO THE 1960s DOWN MEMORY LANE, THEN BACK TO THE PRESENT! This article may be a trip down memory lane but in hindsight, it reflects the present. Some of us are still around to remember the lyrics presented here. Music usually reflects the atmosphere of the time, more so among the younger ...read more
