Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Jul 19, 2025

I was asked the question is it really that important to be concerned about the descendants and who we are when it is all about salvation anyway? To a point that seems to be a fair question until you understand that the concept of salvation is twisted and manipulated and used to control slaves.

The Gospel According To Thorns

Contributed by Troy Borst on Jul 22, 2025

The profound meaning we find in looking at thorns is that the crown of thorns that was thrust upon Jesus’ head was a deliberate symbol of Him taking on our sin. Innocent Jesus Christ took on our sin onto Himself and paid for it. It’s all right there in the thorns.

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO THORNS VARIOUS PASSAGES #thorns INTRODUCTION Every week when I mow my yard I come around a particular large bush that was planted around my propane tank I just get shredded on whatever arm and leg that happens to be on the inside as I try to mow around it.

Grant Me Wisdom Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 7, 2022

God, grant me the wisdom to know the difference … and, as we shall see, therein lies the problem. I don’t know about you, but I usually don’t know the difference and I usually do the most harm to myself and to others when I think that I do.

[This is the third sermon on Reinhold Niebuhr's "The Serenity Prayer," asking God to grant us the wisdom to know what to accept and what to change. This was also preached on Communion Sunday, hence the lead up to Communion at the end.] Wisdom. What is wisdom? Well, let’s ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 13, 2022

Was Balaam a great prophet? Wonderful things came from the mouth of Balaam when he blessed Israel and did not curse them. Jude makes reference to him with "the error of Balaam" but how do we see that error in churches? That is what we will consider this morning.
