Jesus Is Immanuel

Contributed by John Telgren on Feb 23, 2017

God no longer comes near through a burning bush, tabernacle, prophet, or vision. He has come near through Jesus, who is God in the flesh, in order to reconcile us to him so that we can serve him and also carry the message of reconciliation to others.

Have you every heard of Heavenly beans? Little Carried thought that this time of year was for heavenly beans because people sing about it everywhere.

Romans 12:4-5 - Part 3 Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on May 10, 2018

In Romans 12:4-5 we saw that we are all interconnected members of the Body of Christ. In verses 6-8 we see that members of the body receive gifts in order to use them to meet the needs of others. Both the gifted and the receiver must be present for this.

Please stand as we read or recite our memory Scripture for this quarter ... Romans 12:4-5 “Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” ...read more

Alien Ambassaor Series

Contributed by John Sears on Dec 12, 2013

Being in the world can feel like an alien experience. Do we hide under sheets and hope not be detected? Do we marshal our forces in order to "not be part of the world"? Or does Jesus mean more when he says, "Be in the world, but not of it."

Introduction It was a favorite movie of mine when I was a kid. I can remember it being the first movie I cried during. The movie was E.T. If you have seen the movie (or even if you haven’t) there are some classic scenes that will be remembered. Elliot cutting his finger and E.T. ...read more

Sabbath Means Rest

Contributed by Jerry Smith on May 17, 2014

Thus, if someone truly wants to observe the Sabbath Day in modern times (New Testament era), that’s a tall order! One that I do not think anyone could keep, because as religious as the Jews were, they could not keep it (Acts 15:10).

SABBATH MEANS REST Mark 2:27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Q: What happens when we operate a cellphone, tablet, ipod, etc. all day? Q: What happens when we ride a horse all day? Q: What happens when we operate an air-conditioner all day? Q: ...read more

Why The Lord Withdraws

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 30, 2022

Sometimes we can become prideful and overconfident in our own abilities, which is sin; and so, God will hide His face from us (Isaiah 59:2). The Lord will hide from us in order to gain our attention and cause us to cling to Him.

One day a mother was out shopping with her son. Every time she took him shopping with her she couldn’t keep him by her side. As soon as she would turn her back, the boy would wander off somewhere, though keeping his mother in sight the entire time. She would then have to go and retrieve him. ...read more

What We Believe About Evangelism And Missions Series

Contributed by Todd Blair on Jul 14, 2022

Maybe you have a personal relationship with God through His Son Jesus and yet God has not blessed you like He could. One reason for that might be because you have received your orders but you have failed to carry them out.

Famous last words have always been fascinating to me. Some people say words of great profundity and some people don't know what they are saying.

"sit Down! You’re Rocking The Boat!"

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 26, 2022

The world tells us they don't want us "rocking the boat," but that's exactly what they need. The success of the Early Church was that they upset the natural order. Only if people are exposed to Jesus will they be saved. We must make that happen!

"SIT DOWN! YOU’RE ROCKING THE BOAT!" INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A young man went fishing with his father and a friend in an open boat. He didn’t have his sea-legs yet. He’d get up and try to walk. He had poor balance, so the boat would see-saw violently. (The boat didn’t have good ...read more

The Seed Of Christmas

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Dec 11, 2022

If you leave the Christmas story in Matthew and Luke, you do not recognize how long God was planning and preparing and moving all of the pieces of the world in order for us to receive the greatest gift that has ever been given to man, which is Jesus Christ, His Son.

We often sell ourselves short when we say to each other simple clichés, like, "Jesus is the reason for the season". Now, I'm not shaming anybody who's used it because it works at this time of year. But the reality of it is, is Jesus is not the reason for the season. Jesus is ...read more

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on May 8, 2025

The moment we realize who Jesus really is, worship is in order. Hab 2:20 “But the LORD is in His holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before Him.” When we come to him and recognize him, we worship him.

The Passionate Pursuit Of Effective Prayer.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Sep 13, 2023

Psalm 3, presents another side of the biblical picture of faith in which the neat, tidy, well ordered theology of Psalm 1 and 2 gives way to a theology that allows for the realities of life– realities that include struggle, injustice, abuse, doubt, fear, and the testing of our faith.

The Passionate Pursuit Of Effective Prayer. Psalm 13:1-6 Jenny and I left our house early to be with our parents for Thanksgiving, 1996. As we left I noticed our next door neighbor’s silver van was parked in his driveway. My neighbor and I had gotten close. I didn’t know that he was a different ...read more

This sermon explains that because of His great mercy and love, God rescued us from spiritual death by uniting us with Christ in His resurrection and enthronement, saving us by grace through faith alone, in order to make us His masterpiece, created for good works.

Introduction Last week, we ended our time together in a very dark place. We used the analogy of a shipwreck, leaving us spiritually dead, floating helplessly in a sea of sin, captive to the currents of the world, the flesh, and the devil, with our certain destination being the just wrath of God. ...read more
