    The Value Of The Cross

    Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Dec 6, 2022
     | 1,608 views

    This is a promise we can stand on. Jesus, who endured all things for us, offers to us His strength by which we can endure.

    Introduction Some years ago, a 14-foot bronze crucifix was stolen from Calvary Cemetery in Little Rock, Arkansas. It had stood at the entrance to that cemetery for more than 50 years. The thieves figured that the 900-pound cross probably brought about $450 and so they cut it off at its base and ...read more

    The end of the year is approaching, and most of us are very busy. The New Year is rapidly approaching. A lot of us look forward to the new year as a time to make changes, new starts, and for many, a time to think about budgets.

    The Most Hateful Character In The Christmas Story

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Dec 13, 2022
     | 2,773 views

    The Grinch was right, Christmas is not only about presents, but also about God’s gift of His son bringing, light, life and joy into the world. Today, I want to talk about the most hateful character of the Christmas story. Let’s look at Christmas from a different viewpoint.

    Sermon: The Most Hateful Character in the Christmas Story Scripture Lesson: Matthew 2:1-12."Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the reign of King Herod. About that time some wise men from eastern lands arrived in Jerusalem, asking, 2 “Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his ...read more

    Encountering Jesus Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Dec 18, 2022
     | 1,603 views

    John 1:1-5 sets the stage for the rest of gospel - we get to see the Son of God, the Messiah in every story, every place, every circumstance and with every person. This is what John wants the reader to experience in their own lives, to encounter Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah.

    John Stott said, “Nothing hinders evangelism more than the widespread loss of confidence in the truth, relevance, and power of the Gospel.” There has been an erosion of convictions in Christian circles concerning: 1. the inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible, 2. the exclusive truth claims of ...read more

    The Fourth Sunday In Advent: Love Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 23, 2022
     | 4,745 views

    We sometimes hear a lot about love during Advent and the Christmas season. May we never forget the incredible love God has for us. John 3 isn't usually a Christmas text but what Jesus said there is good for Christmas, too.

    (Based on and edited from a message preached at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO on 12-18-22. This is not an exact transcription.) Introduction: There is no greater expression of love, anywhere, when we think about how Jesus left Heaven to come to this earth, to be born like us, live with us, die ...read more

    John gives us God's view of salvation coming into the world. The Christmas Story is a Saga of An Awesome Journey! The journey that John describes in our text is the most amazing journey ever taken.

    Subject: The Christmas Story: A Saga of An Awesome Journey! Text: John 1:1-14 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him ...read more

    The first several verses of Ecclesiastes capture this reality well and sum it up in one word: Futility.

    Have you ever been disappointed with your life? Has there ever been a time in your life where you found yourself saying, “What’s the use?” Life can do that to us. We work hard—at our job, at our ministry, at school, on our relationships. And then comes that time when you stop, and look it all ...read more

    How deep is the sinful condition of humanity? What is the remedy? Jesus gives us a lovingly deep answer.

    9.1.24 Mark 7:15, 21-23 15 There is nothing outside of a man that can make him unclean by going into him. But the things that come out of a man are what make a man unclean. . . . 21 In fact, from within, out of people’s hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual sins, theft, murder, 22 adultery, ...read more

    We will look at what a believer looks like, and what they will do, when they are “Moved by the Spirit.” They are called out by God for a purpose revolving around His purpose and plan to make a difference in their family, community, and world for Christ

    Sermon # 11 - Chosen For A Purpose Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,182 views

    The life of Jonah teaches us that there is nothing we do is hidden from God. Also, we learn that as a church we must be certain of our identity and our purpose so we can glorify God through all we are and all we do.

    We read in Jonah 1:7-8, Then the men said to each other, "We should throw lots to find out why this is happening to us." So the men threw lots. The lots showed that the troubles came to them because of Jonah. Then the men said to Jonah, "It is your fault that this terrible thing is ...read more

    A Church Built On Christ Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Oct 16, 2024
     | 1,424 views

    Just what is it that makes a church authentic? The greatest challenge that we find as we try to follow Jesus is dedicating ourselves to the truth of the Scripture in a culture that tends to base their lives on their own opinions instead of on the truth of God's word.

    I don't think I need to tell any of you that our church is going through a new phase. We are about to enter into a new stage of growth for this church beginning in January. I have asked God what words can I bring to the church that would make this transition a lot easier so that we can remain ...read more

     | 861 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.

    Faith is not about having the right answers or a spotless record—it is about seeking God, surrendering to His work in us, and walking faithfully each day. Transformation is not instant, but it is inevitable when Christ truly lives in us.

    The mission for all disciples of Jesus includes helping others become followers of Jesus. We are to be "fishers of men" and help others learn to do the same.

    A. Today’s sermon brings to a conclusion this series on outreach that I called “Mission Minded Disciples.” 1. In today’s sermon, we are going to focus on Jesus’ “famous last words,” but before we do, I thought it might be fun to think about some other not so “famous last words.” 2. Here are the Top ...read more
