    How did Simeon hear the voice of God? How can we recognize the voice of God speaking to us? Some thoughts from "Jesus Speaks" by Leonard Sweet & Frank Viola

    “Hope For the Future” What a joy it is to hold a newborn baby. I was working on our family history album and found a photo of Colleen holding in her arms our first grandchild. There are many more photos of grandparents holding our grandchildren in our arms. Everyone of them has the ...read more

    The beautiful story of Joseph has attracted a lot of attention through the years. Andrew Lloyd Weber thought so highly of the story that he developed the story of Joseph into a Broadway musical, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

    If you think you’re job is hard, think about this… Just like an NFL quarterback, NASA will schedule the launch of a rocket in an open window. A launch window is determined for each rocket and the window has several factors. Imagine the complications in attempting to place a land rover on the ...read more

     | 3,267 views

    God appointed Jesus to be our high priest in the order of Melchizedek. How is Jesus the better priest and how should that motivate us as we serve? Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister Scott Jewell

    Christmas is quickly approaching. We’ve been looking at the book of Hebrews to recognize that Jesus is better. The gifts of the wise men remind us that Jesus is the better Prophet, Priest, King, and Sacrifice. Today, I’m going to focus on what it means for Jesus to be our better Priest. Read ...read more

    A Candidate For An Extreme Makeover

     | 3,200 views

    In his misguided thinking, Saul thought that he was fighting for God. We need an extreme makeover when our actions are fighting against God and innocent people, yet we think we are fighting for God.

    Sermon: A Candidate For An Extreme Makeover Scripture Lesson: Acts 9:1-19 “Meanwhile, Saul was uttering threats with every breath and was eager to kill the Lord’s followers. So he went to the high priest. 2 He requested letters addressed to the synagogues in Damascus, asking for their cooperation ...read more

    Not Ashamed Of The Gospel Series

    The Apostle Paul penned these words that are considered the central thought of Christianity. At one time he dedicated his life to stamping out Christianity. On his way to Damascus the power of God changed his life forever.

    When I was a teenager, I was first an agnostic and then I became an atheist. Of all places I was in a church when I made the transition to an atheist. It was my conclusion that the worship around me was not real and all of life could be explained by natural science. I even felt sorry for people ...read more

    There’s Always More

    Even when we feel drained physically and financially, we still need to offer what resources we do have - and in so doing, find that we can do more than we thought.

    I have a lot of fellow feeling for the disciples in today’s story. I expect all of us who have put so much time and effort into VBS do, too. It’s done! We can put our feet up and have something to eat, talk about how everything went, see how well we did, maybe get a stroke or two for the old ego. ...read more

    I saw a post on Facebook that I thought would make a great title for a sermon. A friend was requesting prayer for a family member and someone wrote, “I’m praying with you. God’s got this!”

    Discerning Between Voices Series

    Contributed by Apostle Dr. Belinda V. Broadnax on Oct 24, 2024
     | 493 views

    This sermon addresses the importance of discerning between God’s voice, the enemy’s deceptions, and our own thoughts. It focuses on how to develop spiritual discernment and identify the voice of truth in a world full of competing messages.

    In a world filled with countless voices, messages, and influences, one of the greatest challenges we face as believers is discerning which voice is truly from God. Every day, we are bombarded with information—from the media, our culture, and even our own inner thoughts—that competes for our ...read more

    Fruit Of The Holy Spirit

    Contributed by Lucy Paynter on Oct 21, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,254 views

    In Galatians 5:22–23, Paul shifts to happier thoughts, saying, “But the fruit of the Spirit is …” In what follows, he gives nine characteristics of the Holy Spirit’s work in the life of a born-again believer.

    Unlike the word works (of the flesh), fruit is singular, indicating that the nine characteristics are part of a unified whole and are not separable. In other words, a believer doesn’t have some and not others, though their relative strength may vary. Love, by which Paul means the love of God ...read more

     | 293 views

    This morning, I thought we might make a visit to the doctor, the Great Physician himself and in doing so I want us all to think about how we are when He ask, “How are you”?

    Good morning. It is a pleasure to be with you this morning and how are you? “Good morning – how are you?”. This is a very common greeting and more often than not the answer is, “fine and you”? We will often respond this way even if the answer is not even close to being true. For example, once ...read more

    Change Your Perspective From Gloomy To Glorious!

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Apr 15, 2025
     | 119 views

    Changing your perspective can help you stop automatic negative attitudes, speech, thoughts and navigate situations with a more balanced outlook. The Jewish people needed a different perspective, so God sends Haggai.

    Sermon – Change Your Perspective From Gloomy to Glorious! Scripture Lesson – Haggai 2:1-9 “On the twenty-first day of the seventh month, the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai: “Speak to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, to Joshua son of Jozadak, the high priest, and to ...read more

    While the text is about the gift of tongues, Paul greater concern is how all the gifts of the Spirit are being used for personal gain with little thought of others. Paul would encourage the building up of the body of Christ instead.

    Epiphany 5 C 1 Corinthians 14:12-20 02/08/04 A recent front-page story in the Wall Street Journal (January 6, 2004) reported U.S. Marines being trained for duty in Iraq are getting drilled in people skills as well as heavy weaponry.

    Apparently the false teachers in Corinth were suggesting that Paul’s unwillingness to accept support from the church was simply a coverup. They thought that he really had a love for money, and the offering he claimed to be taking for the suffering saints

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: H. L. Gee somewhere tells of a tramp who came begging to a good woman’s door. She went to get something to give him and found that she had no change in the house. She went to him and said, “I have not a penny of small change. I need a loaf of bread. Here is a pound ...read more

    Part 2 of series Every Thought Captive. Dave looks at the lie that spiritual experience is just a head-job and teaches that this idea springs from 1) the elusive nature of spiritual things and 2) a personal agent of evil.
