    Contributed by Elmer Towns on Jan 11, 2024
     | 1,161 views

    Part of our sacrifice for Christ is when we give up on time, energy, and resources to help others in need.

    A. THE PARABLE OF THE GOOD SAMARITAN - LUKE 10:25-37 1. Lawyer: a. One who interpreted the Old Testament law to people. b.

    Sermon – El Roi, The God Who Sees Me

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Sep 18, 2025
     | 512 views

    God responded to her suffering, not her prayer, revealing Himself to her and giving her the assurance that He had seen her affliction. This encounter provided Hagar with strength and the knowledge that she was not alone, but rather seen, known, and understood by God.

    Sermon – El Roi, The God Who Sees Me Scripture - Genesis 16:1-11 “Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had not been able to bear children for him. But she had an Egyptian servant named Hagar. So Sarai said to Abram, “The Lord has prevented me from having children. Go and sleep with my servant. Perhaps I can ...read more

    More Like Jesus, Less Like Me

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Jul 14, 2025
     | 432 views

    A challenge to let go of the "me-first" mindset and learn to embrace humility, compassion, and servanthood—basically this sermon compels us to look at the hallmarks of the life Jesus led... and to follow His example

    Philippians 2:3-5 “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus.” Imagine a world ...read more

    “Like a Good Neighbor” fits in very well with our text for today. What does it mean to be a good neighbor?

    Like A Good Neighbor   Luke 10:25-37 Introduction In a 2011 commercial, a wife found her husband on the phone at 3 am. When she asked who he was talking to, he said, “Jake from State Farm.” She sarcastically grabbed the phone and asked, “What are you wearing, Jake from State ...read more

    The Harvest Is Plentiful

    Jesus modeled how we should be sensitive to the needs of others, be moved with compassion, and see people as ready for the harvest. Rather than praying for others to do the job, we should be engaged too.

    Allow me to open our message with an illustration. In his book entitled The Kingdom Focused Church, Gene Mims shares the following account: “After Marco Polo returned from the magnificent imperial court of Kublai Khan in 1926, he wrote that the mighty Khan asked him to request that the Pope send ...read more

    The Big Secret… "Hate What God Hates And Love What God Loves”

    In this sermon I want to begin with this parable that I just read to you called the Grood Samaritan.

    We need to look at some historical events before we get deeper into this parable. This parable is only included in the book of Luke. There is a reason for that. Why? Luke was a Gentile in the Jewish religion. Matthew and Mark, and John were Jews, and they did not include this parable? ...read more

    God Love.

    Love is a verb, it’s a word of action. The actress Joan Crawford once said “Love is a fire but whether it warms your heart or burns your house down, you can never tell!”

    God Love. Psalm 103:8-13 The reason I named this, God love, is because you have to know God love, before you can love God and others appropriately. If you’re ‘one’ that says, “I know God loves me but….” Until you truly understand that nothing can separate you from Gods love, confusion dominates. ...read more

    Today, we're going to talk about how we can make a difference in the lives of others. Sometimes we get so caught up in our own lives that we forget about the people around us.

    Sometimes the biggest gap is between family members. God teaches us about bridge building through Jesus’ story of the prodigal son. We should offer grace to those we have broken relationships with and celebrate when those relationships are restored.

    Today, we're talking about family drama. You know, those fights with your siblings or disagreements with your parents. We're going to learn from a story Jesus told about a son who messed up big time, but his dad threw a party when he came back home. We're talking about offering grace to those we've ...read more

    The key to living a generous life is increasing our awareness of the needs around us and taking action to meet those needs.

    We all want to live our best life, right? But sometimes, we get tricked by stuff that promises to make us happy but doesn't. Today, I've got something that can really make a difference - generosity. It's not some magic trick, but it can bring real joy, satisfaction, and make a difference that ...read more
