    Easter is a time to revisit the empty tomb and marvel at the power of God, who surpasses our expectations and imaginations.

    Today, we will reflect on the story of Easter and the significance of the empty tomb. It is a reminder of God's incredible power, surpassing our understanding and imagination.

    A message that highlights four obstacles we need to overcome to progress in life.

    Gates play a significant role in both the natural and spiritual realms. Just as physical gates provide security and protection, spiritual gates are used by God and the enemy to secure and fortify our lives. While God uses gates to release blessings and goodness, the enemy uses gates to introduce ...read more

    God knows how to open the door of opportunity to us to do his work. And though there are many that oppose his work, none can impede it. Even the gates of hell cannot prevail against it! I Cor 16:9, "For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries."

    In his letter to the Corinthians from Ephesus, Paul expresses his desire to reunite with the Corinthian converts and spend significant time with them. However, he acknowledges that he must wait until God completes His work in Ephesus, where a great and effective opportunity has been opened for him. ...read more

    Fruit Of The Holy Spirit

    Contributed by Lucy Paynter on Oct 21, 2023
     | 1,478 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

    This sermon outline addresses the Holy Spirit's multifaceted roles today. The Old Testament lays the groundwork for a deeper understanding of the Holy Spirit's work, preparing the way for the monumental events of Pentecost in the New Testament.

    Pentecost Sunday Introduction The Holy Spirit's presence and work are not only confined to the New Testament but also manifest powerfully throughout the Old Testament, demonstrating the divine breath of life and inspiration that permeates every inch of sacred history.

    This sermon explores the call to show mercy and compassion to those who doubt, and how to embody Christ's love through understanding and charity.

    Good morning, beloved family of God. I stand here today, humbled by the grace and love of our Lord, thankful for the opportunity to share His word, and deeply aware of the responsibility that comes with it. We gather here, not as individuals, but as a family, united under the banner of Christ's ...read more

    This is a message I preached for our Church’s 56th Anniversary but you can adapt it to your situation.

    INTRODUCTION: Today we celebrate 56 years as a Church. 56 years of preaching the Gospel of the Lord, Jesus Christ. 56 years of standing on the fundamentals of the faith. 56 years of holding to the Baptist distinctives. Nearly 56 years on this same corner and in this same building, although ...read more

    God, through Christ Jesus, has liberated us from our chains, yet often we fail to recognize this and instead burden ourselves with worldly concerns. This sermon aims to remind believers of the freedom granted to us by the Son of God, and to discourage the self-imposition of unnecessary burdens.

    Freedom or Liberty has been considered as a basic human right throughout history. In today's world, the issue of freedom is highly discussed, especially in our country. However, we often fail to realize that God in Christ Jesus has already set us free from bondage. This sermon aims to encourage ...read more

    Peering Into Pentecost Series

     | 4,340 views

    Pentecost is a mysterious, relatively unknown feast to Christians. It was given by God to the Hebrews in Leviticus 23 and plays an important role in the history of God's church in in Acts 2.

    1. Joy in serious times A famous motivational speaker was once asked about his most difficult speech. He answered, "Well, it was when I was asked to speak at a national convention of undertakers. My topic was to explain to them how to look sad during a $20,000 funeral." You see, when there is joy ...read more

    Defilement Comes From Within Series

     | 3,113 views

    It is not the food you eat or religious observation you practice that enables you to claim that you are right with God. Your attitude, behavior, and response to His commands show whether or not your life is defiled before Him.

    Worship is supposed to come from a grateful heart and mind, focused on how God's mercy and grace has taken us off of the road to hell and by the redemptive work of Jesus Christ on our behalf, placed us on the narrow road leading to eternal life. Our submission to Him as Lord and Savior, ...read more

    Love Beyond Limits Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 8, 2021
     | 3,417 views

    Just as it was in Jesus’ day, many have a perception of love, but it is not love as God commands. Much of what we see today described as love does not fit the biblical model for love.

    Love beyond Limits Matthew 5: 43-48 As we close out the fifth chapter of Matthew, we are getting close to the midway point of the great sermon Jesus preached. For the past several weeks we have considered various contrasts Jesus made regarding time honored traditions and the reality of what God ...read more

    A sermon about living into the all inclusive love of God.

    “No Outcastes” Mark 7:1-8, 14-23 When I was interning in the News Department of a Television Station during college, the Bureau Chief gave me a nasty assignment. There was someone running for office, he must have already been in government somehow, and she wanted me to dig up dirt on him. She ...read more

    This message calls the church, collectively and individually, to be "up to date" in their mission of reaching people.

    “A Church for Today” 1 Corinthians 9:19-24 * Among the church culture in America it has become common to identify local churches with some troubling terms; “Contemporary or Traditional.” Why do I say these terms are troubling?

    Scripture: Colossians 2:6-15 I. Introduction The church at Colossae was started by Epaphras, who was a fellow Colossian and a preacher in Laodicea, Hierapolis and Colossae.
