Skunks Don’t Like to Be Squeezed “That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake. 2 Such large CROWDS gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore. 3 Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow ...read more

Sermon 13: Christian Life And Ministry Are A Team Effort Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jan 12, 2026

As the apostle Paul concludes his letter to the church at Colossae, he mentions 11 people in the last 12 verses. From this we notice that Paul was someone who knew how dependent he was on others for his own wellbeing and for the advance of the Gospel. Christian life and ministry are a team effort.

"My Sheep..." By Dr. Winson Butler

It’s when the fish opens his mouth that he gets caught. We can learn a lot from God’s creatures. Another great example is the lesson we all can learn from the relationship of the Shepherd & his Sheep. Let’s examine it together!

Introduction It’s so intresting how God takes a little story and teaches with it some of life’s greatest lessons. E.G.

Plastic Faith

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025

Artificial leaves look healthy but produce nothing. In Mark 11 Jesus exposes leaf-only religion: a fig tree with no fruit, a crowded temple with no prayer, faith without forgiveness, and leaders without surrender. He clears space for real life with God—fruit, prayer, forgiveness, and obedience.

An artificial plant looks impressive. But it produces nothing. You could easily buy one at a store with thought that it will "bring life to any room." And—sure—it brings the appearance of life. The leaves stay green. They never drop. It never needs water. In fact, if I tried to water it, ...read more
