A Fresh Start (Part Two)

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 14, 2019

Last week I talked about how we may need a fresh start. But it's not so easy. We may have a hard time making the changes that are necessary for a fresh start. But sometimes, we may not need a total fresh start, we may just need a restart.

Sermon # 4 - In God's True Image Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Mar 12, 2025

God’s image in us as human beings is what makes us special. But, we should also bear in mind that we are the temple of the living God and He dwells within us. Only when we live in total obedience to His word will all of our confusions be turned to peace and rest.

We read in Philippians 4:8, “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” (ESV) The word of God counsels us ...read more

Noah Saved From Wrath Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Feb 24, 2022

Wrath comes because of four things: 1) Great Wickedness (Genesis 6:5), which results in: 2) Great Sorrow (Genesis 6:6), which brings: 3) Great Collateral Damage (Genesis 6:7) yet it also promises: 4) Great Redemption (Genesis 6:8).

Seals And Trumpets And Bowls, Oh My! (Revelation 6-16) Series

Contributed by James Jackson on Nov 8, 2025

Revelation 6–16 can feel like the scariest part of the journey—war, famine, plagues, and wrath. But behind every seal, trumpet, and bowl stands a merciful God whose justice is never chaotic, always redemptive. When God wins, we win—and the story that began with mercy ends with mercy.

Good morning! Please open your Bibles to Revelation 6. Some of you may find this hard to believe, but back in the olden days—the 1970s—there was no streaming, no DVDs, and definitely no pause button. VCRs existed, but they cost over a thousand dollars, so nobody you knew actually had one. If ...read more

Weeping About The Future

Contributed by Craig Condon on Sep 2, 2015

Our job as Christians is to tell people about God and to try to lead them to Christ. Sometimes it means steering them to redemption. Do we actually reach out to them with this in mind? Do we seek a radical change in their hearts? Do we warn people?

The Book of Jeremiah is a book full of dark prophecies of doom and gloom. Jeremiah is a heartbroken prophet with a heartbreaking message.

Dealing With Injustice - A Message From Psalm 49 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 4, 2022

Injustice is everywhere and how does that affect the Christian? Faith must be placed in God, and this Psalm is exploring that. We are not to fear. The Psalm takes up redemption then moves to ultimate death for all when we take nothing with us. God redeems from the power of hell.

The Final Hours Of The Lord Jesus -From Golgotha To The Grave (For Now) Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 19, 2021

The Lord Jesus is in His last moments of agony and pain, both physically and spiritually as He completes His mission of redemption for fallen humanity. It looked on the surface, however, like a victory for his enemies and the devil as He died and was placed in a borrowed tomb, or so it would seem.

(Adapted from an outline by Mark A. Copeland) Following a night and morning of torture, ridicule, and mockery, Jesus was taken away to be crucified (Mark 14:53-15:25). For six long, horrendous, cruel hours He hung on the cross, and to add insult to injury, He heard the continuing mockery ...read more
