    There are those who declare that you can tell if you have the Spirit by some miraculous behavior on your part. But, Paul writes that you need to gauge God’s Spirit in a different way.

    Two good old boys bought a couple of horses during the summer. But when winter came, they found it cost too much to board them. So they turned the horses loose in a pasture where there was plenty to eat. One said to the other: "How will we tell yours from mine when we pick them up?" "Oh ...read more

    To keep impacting those outside the church for Jesus, we must keep the vision we were given, and not replace that vision with the memories of yesterday. Nor can we replace our calling with our comfort.

    I know that many of us are planning on helping out at the Leukemia Benefit right after church for 3-year old Christian Bentley, so I am going to offer a shorter message this morning so we can get up there on time.

    While Israel and world awaits the building of the Third Temple we must realize that the true temple is a spiritual house that each of those who are born again are living stones that make up the House of God.

    THE THIRD TEMPLE By Pastor Jim May 1 Peter 2:5-10 We are living in a time when all of those who are waiting for the coming of the Lord are watching the events of this world and wondering just how close we are to that day when we shall all be caught up together to meet the Lord in the air. ...read more

    Today we’re going to class together. Those of you who were blessed enough to be here today will soon admit that it’s a class every man, woman and child needs to take.

    The ultimate proof of total forgiveness takes place when you and I sincerely petition God to let those who have hurt us off the hook, NO MATTER WHAT THEY’VE DONE!

    Whenever I preached here a couple of months ago, I shared some of my testimony and I briefly touched on the subject of forgiveness and the powerful affect that it had on me. I know that the Lord dealt with some of you in that service and about some issues in your own life. Pastor Hanchey asked me ...read more

    Luke 2 teaches us that Jesus purposefully came to those who no one would choose - from a young poor couple to outcast shepherds. Learn also about his ordinary/extraordinary childhood.

    Luke chapter 2 is very unique - it is the only place where we learn in detail what happened at the birth of Christ - again, evidence that Luke may have gotten the story from Mary herself. It is the only place where we see Jesus presented for circumcision at the Temple, and the only gospel that ...read more

    Satan has deceived many with "cunningly devised fables". This sermon only covers a few of those fables, but it reminds us that the gospel, contained in the Holy Bible is no fabel; its the only source of unchangeable Truth.

    FABLES By Pastor Jim May 2 Peter 1:13-21, "Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.

    The tithe is a hot ticket item in today’s churches – particularly in those churches that preach a connection between wealth and God’s blessing. The tithe, in their view, is the investment strategy of heaven. Is this an accurate portrayal of the tithe?

    The Little Drummer Boy Leviticus 27:20-32 Cascades Fellowship CRC, JX MI September 21, 2003 We see their smiling faces on the television. Silky smooth voice, great digs, hair just so, offering the promise of health and wealth. The key? The tithe. Offer your tithe unto the Lord – that is, to ...read more

    Modern man shirks personal responsibility by blaming society, parents, TV... or anything else. In this sermon, Aaron is the biblical representative of all those who refuse to accept their personal responsibility and look for a scapegoat to blame.
