Marriage Is More Than Simply Falling In Love.

Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Feb 18, 2025

Marriage is more than falling in love. Both parties to the marriage have a complementary role to play to the other. And you need to work at it.

Marriage Foundation Introduction: The marriage covenant predates the Fall I would like to like to go back to the very basics of when marriage was instituted. We first read about it in Genesis 2. I am not talking about a piece of paper saying you are married but to the marriage covenant between ...read more

Contributed by Terry Hovey on Feb 21, 2025

According To The Pattern

Contributed by Terry Hovey on Mar 10, 2025

But He still loves us and wants to be with us. This is why Moses went up the mountain. God called him up to give him some instructions in what needed to happen before He could dwell with the people.

According to the Pattern Exodus 25-27 We serve an amazing God. He is the one and only God of gods, King of kings, and Lord of lords. He is high and lifted up, and His train fills His heavenly temple.

The Vanishing Father

Contributed by Charles Payne on Jun 12, 2025

There was a time—not so long ago—when the word “father” evoked strength, stability, and sacrificial love. When a man’s presence brought comfort, not confusion… direction, not detachment… blessing, not brokenness. But somewhere along the line, the father began to vanish.

Sermon 4 - We Will All Be Changed Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jun 22, 2025

The apostle Paul employed a farming illustration to explain how our heavenly bodies will be different and so much better than our earthly bodies. Consider the difference between the seed that is planted and the plant that results.

A. Today, I want to start with the story of a young boy who came home from worship and Sunday school with a question for his mom: “Is it true we come from dust and after we die, we return to dust?” 1.

God Has Abandoned You Series

Contributed by Duane Wente on Jul 7, 2025

Even when God feels silent or distant, He has not abandoned us. His presence is constant—even in the pain, even in the silence. The lie says God has walked away; the truth is, He is still with us. Always.

### **Introduction: The Lie That God Has Abandoned Us** Video Ill.: Sermon Bumper 5 There is a belief that has quietly worked its way into hearts and minds for generations — and it still lingers today.

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jul 20, 2025

Stretching is something God wants to do in our lives as He stretches our faith. Therefore, in today’s message I’d like to look at how we live life in the stretch, because life happens in the stretch, so we have to learn how to live and survive it.

The Gospel According To Thorns

Contributed by Troy Borst on Jul 22, 2025

The profound meaning we find in looking at thorns is that the crown of thorns that was thrust upon Jesus’ head was a deliberate symbol of Him taking on our sin. Innocent Jesus Christ took on our sin onto Himself and paid for it. It’s all right there in the thorns.

The Towel And The Throne: Greatness Redefined Series

Contributed by Kory Labbe on Oct 25, 2025

True greatness in God’s Kingdom isn’t found in titles or positions, but in the humility of serving others. Jesus redefined leadership by trading the throne for the towel, showing us that to lead is to love through service.
