    In this section from the story of Abraham, we see that he and Sarah got ahead of God and tried to force God to bring an heir through Hagar. There are a lot of important lessons for us to learn from this episode.

    Introduction: A. One day there was a man who was taking it easy, lying on the grass, looking up at the clouds, and having a conversation with God 1. The man said, “God, how long is a million years to you?” a. God answered, “In my frame of reference, a million years is about a minute.” 2. The man ...read more

    Before we assume a task for God we need to take enough time to lay the foundation of prayer so God can supply our needs and give us the go ahead at the right time.

    Funeral Sermon: This message was written for the death of a pilot. It shows how aviation is a metaphor for life, with its highs and lows. It was written primarily for the survivors, to help them lean on God during the difficult days ahead.

    We are gathered here today to remember and celebrate the life of George Royalty; and I want to hone in on a brief chapter of his life – one of the most memorable – which was his pursuit of aviation; a pursuit he undertook with his son. I got to meet George and talk with him a couple of times, such ...read more

    The MATRIX is not just a movie it’s a tool! Long before MATRIX the movie, there was matrix the tool, a sort of a shovel-hoe-in-one. A matrix is also a mathematical design, a system of columns and rows that relate to each other. It doesn’t matter which

    On this Easter Sunday morning, we stand amazed with the women who see the angel at the empty tomb. The angel announces to them, “He is risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee.”

    You Are Not Alone! Matthew 28:1-10 1After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. 2There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. ...read more

    The completed work of Christ is work for the unworthy. We’re worse than we think we are, but God’s grace is far greater than we think it is.

    “The Finished Work of Christ” -Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts “I have brought glory to You here on earth by completing the work You gave Me to do. And now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world began.” ...read more

    We think we are so smart, we think we are able to pull a fast one on God. No we cant, God will find out, and we will have to deal with the consequences

    Acts 5:1-11 You Can’t Fool God Introduction A. Let me make a disclaimer here B. I do not like this passage C. Now John 3:16 – I like that, it make me feel good D. I like Romans 8:31-38 “What can separate me from the love of God?” E. Boy if that isn’t encouraging I don’t know what is F. Then we ...read more

    Want to be a part of bringing God’s love to the world but think you have to be a missionary to the jungles of Africa to do it? Think again. Share the gospel without speaking a word.

    As I’ve said on numerous occasions, there are two purposes for redeemed humanity: to glorify God by becoming like Him, and to therefore be more effective in bringing others into relationship with Him. To do the first we must come into relationship with Jesus—invite Him to do a friendly takeover of ...read more

    As we think about Jesus being The Vine, this sermon challenges us to think about our relationship with Christ and how we move into closer relationship through our lives.

    In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. One thing that I am not is green-fingered, I know how to mow a lawn, and how to pull up weeds, although if I’m being honest they are more likely to be flowers, and I know that roses should be pruned. I don’t know why this is the case, I just ...read more

    This message focuses on the truth that the choice is ours as it relates to how we think about our situations. And how we think about our situations will determines our responses to them.

    The Choice Is Ours Scripture: Joshua 24:15; Proverbs 3:5-6; Psalm 37:24-25 The title of my message this morning is “the Choice Is Ours.” Henry Ford said, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can't – you're right.” I personally believe he came to this conclusion after ...read more

    Marriage: Build Up Your Spouse Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 10, 2022
     | 3,062 views

    Christianity is a call to be selfless. To think of others needs more highly than yourself. In Christian marriage we are called to think of our spouses needs before our own needs.

    We all know how easy it is to tear down. You could spend one hour building a sandcastle. It can be destroyed with one swift kick. It is easy to see the dust in someone else’s eye and overlook the plank in your own. In this message on Christian marriage I really just want you to look at half of it. ...read more

    A new year always brings a sense of hope, doesn’t it? The previous year with all its tragedies, problems, disappointments, failures, and sadness is now behind us, and a clean slate lies ahead.

    A new year always brings a sense of hope, doesn’t it? The previous year with all its tragedies, problems, disappointments, failures, and sadness is now behind us, and a clean slate lies ahead.

    The Jailer

     | 4,286 views

    The jailer’s decision was not any easy one. But despite the difficulties that lay ahead, he realized that the God who would bring him to those difficulties would also bring him through them.

    Jobs were hard to come by. He was a grown man, with a wife and children to provide for. He had been an OK farmer when they lived in the country — even managed to put away a little money for them to live on after the move to the big city. But he had no marketable skills to speak of. He wasn’t ...read more

    We have to learn to leave the past in the past. Stop trying to make right, the wrong made years ago. We must keep our eyes forward, looking at what lies ahead.
