     | 1,677 views

    A reminder of the elements of the Gospel

    What is the Good News? 1 Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I ...read more

    If you are like me, there so many things that we do not see that we would like to see. For example…

    Illus: On one of the GUNSMOKE episode Matt Dillon is in a serious gun fight in one of the episodes. Matt draws his pistol out of his holster to shoot the bad fellow with one hand and his other arm was slightly behind his back which was unusual for him. Since this was unusual for him someone asked ...read more

    Win By Losing (January 29, 2023 Version)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jan 28, 2023
     | 1,513 views

    Just think, the cross was a place of execution. It was therefore considered a place of defeat---the final word for the executed and a warning from those who did the executing.

    WIN BY LOSING Text: I Corinthians 1:18 -25 1 Corinthians 1:18-31  For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.  (19)  For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the ...read more

    No Greater Love Series

     | 2,308 views

    To love the unlovely and the unloveable is inconceivable. But that is just exactly what God did for all of us. We, who were corrupt through sin became the beneficiaries of eternal life through the sacrificial death of Christ.

    What motivated God the Father to send His one and only cherished Son to earth to die for us? Why would the holy Son of God want to come into a wicked world? Moreover, what would prompt Him to give His life as a human sacrifice for sinful, wicked humanity? It is inherent in God’s nature to make ...read more

     | 2,080 views

    A sermon for Good Friday.

    “Was I There?” John 18:1-19:42 With the death of Jesus on Calvary, we witness, amid the noise of soldiers and criminals, gawkers and passers-by, what looks like the final triumph of evil. All the ugliness and violence we can imagine takes place in the events that lead-up to the six hours during ...read more

    Simon of Cyrene came to offer a lamb and carried the cross for the Lamb of God. One-half mile separated the Temple from the Cross; Simon saw both covenants in operation and sided with the grace of Jesus!

    WATCH THE LAMB Mark 15:21-24 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. I heard about this minister, he'd been out bear hunting all day. He searched through the woods, but found no signs of a bear. Frustrated, he threw his gun down on the ground and walked over to a stream to cool off. 2. About that time ...read more

    The Narrow Way (You Haven't Heard This!)

    Contributed by Gordon Brownlee on Aug 20, 2025
     | 116 views

    How would you like to experience a miracle everyday for the rest of your life? The Narrow Way is a supernatural journey of discovery all based on our Death, burial and Resurrection with Jesus.

    The Word of God offers us a story line, a history lesson, a standard of righteousness, a way of conduct, a form of admonishment, a view of authority, an example of service, and a description of our King and His Kingdom; all of which explains why we intellectually embrace doctrine in the way that we ...read more

    Christ Crucified — The Heart Of Our Worship

    Contributed by Ronald Moore on Mar 21, 2025
     | 368 views

    When St. Paul wrote to the Corinthians, he was addressing a church in the middle of a bustling, worldly city — a place full of ideas, arguments, opinions, and ambitions. Sound familiar? And yet Paul doesn’t try to impress them.

    The modern church often celebrates decisions for Christ—countless altar calls, baptism numbers, and professions of faith. But is this what Jesus ultimately asked for? The Great Commission: A Call to Discipleship, Not Just Conversion!

    The modern church often celebrates decisions for Christ—countless altar calls, baptism numbers, and professions of faith. But is this what Jesus ultimately asked for? Did He commission His followers to make converts or disciples? A closer look at Scripture reveals a profound distinction between the ...read more

     | 860 views

    Though we are hopelessly lost in the storm of sin and powerless to save ourselves, God in His mercy sent Jesus Christ — fully God and fully man — to rescue us through His perfect obedience, sacrificial death, and victorious resurrection.

    God’s Rescue Plan Romans 3:10-12; Psalms 14:1-3; Colossians 1:19-20; Hebrews 10:23-25 Picture yourself lost at sea — no land in sight, tossed about by relentless waves of indifference, selfishness, and rebellion.

    Who Is Jesus To You?

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Mar 11, 2025
     | 446 views

    What does Jesus mean to you? This is a question that so many church folks cannot answer. When evangelizing you really need to be able to answer the question.

    Who is Jesus to you? Luke 9:18 – 27 Rabbi Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz 18 And it happened that while He was praying alone, the disciples were with Him, and He questioned them, saying, “Who do the people say that I am?” They answered and said, “John the Baptist, and others say Elijah; but others, ...read more

    A sermon about following in the steps our Servant Savior.

    “James and John Call ‘Shotgun!!!’” Mark 10:35-45 Did anyone else grow up calling “shotgun” when heading toward the car you were about to ride in? If you called “shotgun,” you got the privilege to sit in the passenger seat in front, next to the driver. And the first one to call shotgun got ...read more

    Vision 2017

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024
     | 534 views

    The vision going into 2017 is “Pursuing to be a Disciple of Jesus.” Are we willing to position and place ourselves in that spot where the Spirit of God will disciple us.

    Opening illustration: I recently read the true story about a preacher who was standing at the door shaking hands as the congregation departed. He grabbed one man by the hand and pulled him aside. The preacher said to him, "You need to join the Army of the Lord!" The man replied, ...read more

    A sermon that contrasts human concerns with the concerns of God.

    “Whoever Wants to Be My Disciple…” Mark 8:31-38 If we are honest haven’t we all at, some point, have disagreed with Jesus, asking Him why He doesn’t do what we want? Why He won’t He see the world our way? I mean think about it. I’d imagine we can all come up with scenarios without me ...read more
