    The Night Before Christmas

    Contributed by Michael Luke on May 29, 2016
     | 11,238 views

    Jesus’ birth is not just supernatural, it’s educational. Along with educational, it’s also transformational. What Jesus thought before he was born influenced the way he lived.

    I’m sure most of us are familiar with the famous poem by Clement Clark Moore that begins this way: ’Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with ...read more

    The Better Priest Series

     | 3,446 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

    Discerning Between Voices Series

    Contributed by Apostle Dr. Belinda V. Broadnax on Oct 24, 2024
     | 863 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
     | 2,775 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

    A Candidate For An Extreme Makeover

     | 3,322 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

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 23, 2023
     | 2,319 views

    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

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 15, 2023
     | 2,164 views

    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

    Change Your Perspective From Gloomy To Glorious!

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Apr 15, 2025
     | 381 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

    Third Sunday In Ordinary Time - 2025

    Contributed by Michael Nesmith on Jan 25, 2025
     | 455 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

    Are You Going To Relent?

     | 5,154 views

    Many times we face unexpected disappointments, especially when we have been praying and it seems like our prayers are not being answered. What should be our response now?

    Tonight, we’re going to look at a familiar passage of scripture – Jeremiah 29. And the message tonight has three parts. The first part will be encouragement. The second part is going to be a reminder. And the third part is going to be a challenge. In Jeremiah 29 we know the background for this ...read more

    Funeral message for Mrs. Betty Parker, a member of our church who had known for some time that she would die, and who had carefully thought through her relationships, her responsibilities, and her faith.

    FINISHING TOUCHES (Philippians 1:3-11) I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work among you will bring it to completion by the day of Jesus Christ. Some tasks are never finished. No matter how much effort you put in, they are never finished. There is always more that could be ...read more

    Making Room

    Contributed by Paul Newell on Dec 8, 2001
    based on 173 ratings
     | 15,383 views

    This is the second in an Advent Series. This message deals with those who neglected to notice Mary & Joseph in the inn. Thoughts for the direction of this sermon were greatly influenced by a John MacArthur message "The People Who Missed Christmas".

    Making Room…Luke 2:1-7 Intro: (Read Text) He gets a pretty bum rap for someone we actually don’t even know exists. The Bible doesn’t mention him (or if he existed). Tradition talks a great deal about the fellow – but it’s still all tradition and folk-lore to be historically honest: that “poor ...read more

    "This Is All In My Head” Series

    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.
