    How do you feel when someone welcomes you, specially if that is the first time you are there? There is nothing that the sad, frustrated, lonely, pathetic, empty soul does not like more than a friendly and smiling face saying “welcome”.

    How Hospitable are We? Genesis 18:1-8 NT: Hebrews 13: 2 1 The LORD appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. 2 Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his ...read more

    If we can get these 3 principles applied to our daily lives – we will see God differently and experience grace more dynamically!

    If Satan can get you and me to doubt God then we will always doubt life! If he can get us to think negative about God then we will always think negative about life. Why is this fact so true – because if he can get you to go negative and doubting then Satan can do almost anything with you and ...read more

    This originally was a series of 5 readings written for the purpose of using in between songs of an Easter Cantata. I have now compiled them into one cohesive sermon about the resurrection of Jesus, His Majesty the King

    The Empty Tomb of His Majesty, the King Matthew 28: 1-8; Mark 16: 1-8; Luke 24: 1-10 Their work had begun a few evenings ago. The women from Galilee that had followed Jesus to Jerusalem for the Passover celebrations had not expected things to turn out the way it had. Their self-appointed rabbi, ...read more

     | 12,279 views

    The Table . . . A common everyday item. Every house has one. A simple table or a meeting place. Perhaps a classroom. Could it be that a  simple table is really a blank canvas?

    The Table Pt. 2 - Table Manners I. Introduction I don't know what your home was like growing up, but in my house we were taught table manners. In fact, you need to pray for me as I try to find something to do while I am grounded this week for even playing that video. We had some very specific ...read more

    Signs

    Contributed by Bill Stonebraker on Jan 18, 2022
     | 1,739 views

    In John's Gospel, miracles are signs pointing to something beyond the miracle. In Jesus' 1st sign, turning water to wine, what does it point to? What's it got to do with us?

    A drunken coal miner came to Christ & went stone cold sober. He began telling all his friends about his freedom in Christ & the evils of alcohol. One friend decided to trap him. “Do you really believe Jesus turned water into wine?” “Absolutely!” he replied. “For me, He’s turned wine into a ...read more

    What God Thinks About Money Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
     | 1,645 views

    If you go to God and say, “I deserve acceptance,” you will be rejected, because that shows you do not know what’s in your own heart. But if you go to God and say, “I deserve rejection; please forgive me,” you will get acceptance. That’s the gospel.

    Just in time for Thanksgiving meal, Jesus tells us who to invite. Today, we encounter a dramatic story where Jesus has been invited into the home of a very prominent man. We discover at the very beginning of this chapter that Jesus was invited to a big supper with lots of guests at a prominent ...read more

    Joy comes to us when we surrender our will, for the will and power of our Father, His Son and The Holy Spirit

    So maybe you’ve heard it said, ‘read your bible’ so you tried and failed. Our hope as leaders is that all of us will pick up God’s word and come to understand the true nature of God.

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,467 views

    The Ten Bridesmaids story is an answer to the question of the disciples in Matthew 24:3. With the current wars, and protests, warnings about WWIII, people are again asking: When will the end come? Jesus simply says: "Watch and be prepared."

    In Jesus Holy Name November 12, 2023 Text: Matthew 25:10b,13 “The Missing Bride at the Wedding” This is a great parable about the danger of being unprepared. I know there have been weddings that I officiated, but the “bride” was 30 or 45 minutes late, so everyone just waited. ...read more

    A Thanksgiving message about filling up on food, fun, and other good things

    I have entitled this morning’s message “Fill ‘Er Up” because that is what many us will be doing this week.
