    Good Works

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Jul 16, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,317 views

    Jesus very clearly said, ’let the people around you see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven.’

    Good works! Mathew 5:16”Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Good works? Who thinks of it anyway? It’s all about ‘office work, business work and home work!’ Jesus very clearly said, ...read more

    Will You Come?

    Contributed by Pastor Steve Zimmerman on Jul 31, 2010
     | 3,376 views

    The beautiful old hymn "Will you come and follow Me" asks us all to consider our call from Christ, both as believers and as church families.

    Will You Follow? Last week we sang a hymn that we have sang before. Will You Come and Follow Me was one of the opening songs and I found myself lost in it for the first time. I ‘felt’ the words as I made my feeble attempt to sing. The words to this hymn are comprised of an ...read more

    The Insignificant Church

    Contributed by Terry Blankenship on Oct 14, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,624 views

    Do we really make a difference in this world? Has the church become insignificant today? Churches have a high calling to honor God in their attitudes and actions.

    Hebrews 10:23-25 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so ...read more

    we live in the Un-generation--they are unloved, untold, unchurched, unsaved

    Intro: years ago a new soft drink was introduced to America—it was called the UnCola—we know it better by the name 7-up. The ad campaign was to say that this was unlike any other cola, it was unique and different. Today, I would like to give you message simple entitled, “Reaching ...read more

    In This House Of Peacemaking Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 13, 2008
    based on 19 ratings
     | 24,657 views

    Peace is something the world needs to learn from the church. To be peacemakers we must teach all of God’s truth, we must model peaceful resolution, we must equip with real skills, and we must find peace with God through Christ.

    We entered the conference room in stony silence. For several weeks I had noticed the two of them – mature women, well-established, well-grounded in the Lord – but at odds with one another. They had been planning a special event, but had disagreed over the menu. One of them wanted an item dear to ...read more

    If I Could Put Time In A Bottle

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026
     | 98 views

    Time is not random or meaningless; it unfolds under God’s sovereign care. Ecclesiastes 3 reminds us that life is lived in seasons, eternity is placed in the human heart, and meaning is found not in controlling time but in reverently offering it to God. What is given to Him is never wasted.

    There are moments in life when time feels generous. Days seem long. Weeks stretch out ahead of us. The future feels wide and open, almost indulgent. And then there are other moments when time suddenly feels thin — compressed, hurried, and slippery. One season we are wondering how to fill the hours, ...read more

     | 29,689 views

    Faith is the foundation of God's message. Hope is the attitude and the focus,. .But love. Love is the action. When faith and hope are in line, you are free to love completely. And through this, we can truly "Seize the Day."

    Paul shares this hope in Christ to the Colossians ... and to all that call themselves followers of the Christ. Hear Paul's prayer: BIBLE ".... that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, ....to please Him in all respects, .... bearing fruit in every good work ....and increasing in the ...read more

    We`ve heard the story of the Prodigal Son so often that it`s hard to find something new to say about it. Well, I have a friend who`s full of quirky ideas which make you think.

    What is our purpose? What are we trying to do? When we come together to worship, who are we worshiping? Why do we believe what we believe? Who is our Lord – our Guide? To whom or what do we show our loyalty?

     | 5,506 views

    In this sermon we notice that God sends judgment on some, and that is not inconsistent with his justice.

    Scripture Today I would like to study what is arguably one of the most difficult doctrines in the entire Bible: the doctrine of reprobation. The previous two weeks we studied the positive side of predestination, which is election. Of course, many people struggle with the doctrine of election. ...read more
