Second Work Of Grace Series

Contributed by Mark Schaeufele on Jun 8, 2022

If God wants to give you a gift, know that it is a good gift (it’s nothing to be afraid of), and if this second work of grace is going to make you a witness for Jesus, then use it for his glory.

A SECOND WORK OF GRACE Text: Acts 1:4-11 Introduction 1. This series through the Book of Acts I am entitling “The Blueprint for the New Testament Church,” I believe it is God’s guidebook for what a New Testament Church should be.

Becoming A Jacob Generation

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jun 12, 2022

The Jacob Generation is a generation that will see revival break out. And the Lord desires for everyone to be a part of this Jacob generation, a generation that seeks after God. “This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face.” (Psalm 24:6)

Becoming A Jacob Generation Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaamIIqonZU What is a Jacob Generation, and why is it important? Well, it has to do with what David talked about in Psalm 24. “Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean ...read more

The Babe And The Bell Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 8, 2021

It is no wonder that bells have become a symbol of Christmas, for God chose the bell to be a symbol of joy and victory in His presence. There are numerous types of bells, but all of them have some positive value, and thus, have something in common with the Babe of Bethlehem.

Bells are one of the common symbols of Christmas, because all through history, bells have been used to play the role of the angels on that first Christmas. Bells ring forth the message of joy. The bell and the babe of Bethlehem are linked in many ways. Nowhere is this more evident, than when you ...read more

Christmas Trivia Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 8, 2021

We are to live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God, but sometimes they seem so trivial we tend to ignore them. Christmas trivia is a good example. Dr. Luke was a man of detail, and he records for us a number of things that can be called Christmas trivia.

One of the great paradoxes of Christmas is that almost everything the Bible tells us about this most sacred event, is secular in nature. It is filled with what is temporal rather than eternal; physical rather than spiritual; and world oriented rather than heaven oriented. Christmas is really a ...read more

Faith During Uncertain Times

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 13, 2021

Maybe the future of our country looks uncertain; or we are living under oppressive leadership. But when we recognize that God is still on the throne, we find the confidence necessary to carry on with boldness!

I wish to begin our message by sharing something about the time in which Dietrich Bonhoeffer lived. The Nazi regime ascended to power on January 30, 1933. “Two days after Hitler was installed as Chancellor, Bonhoeffer delivered a radio address in which he attacked Hitler and warned Germany ...read more

Transverse Orientation Series

Contributed by Sean Dees on Apr 25, 2021

We have artificial sweeteners, ingredients, body parts, grass, flowers, light, etc... if there is something natural than most likely you will find some form of an artificial facsimile of it. If man can somehow make a mold of it and reproduce it, you will find it sitting on a shelf somewhere.

Exodus 7:(8) And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, (9) When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast [it] before Pharaoh, [and] it shall become a serpent. (10) And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and ...read more

Serving In Captivity Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 6, 2021

What would we do if our country ever came under siege by a foreign nation that did not believe in God? How could we practice our faith, and how could we live according to biblical principles?

I have entitled our message this morning “Serving in Captivity,” as we’ll be examining the events surrounding the Babylonian captivity of 587 B.C. What would we, as believers, do if our country ever came under siege by a foreign nation that did not believe in God or His Son, Jesus Christ? How ...read more

Dealing With Ocd Series

Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 22, 2021

OCD is often joked about but this mental health issue can severely impact people's lives. Saul's obsession over David ultimately impacted his ability to rule Israel.

In 1884 he moved to the United States with nothing but a letter of introduction to Thomas Edison. The letter was written by his former employer, Charles Batchelor, and it simply read, “I know two great men, one is you and the other is this young man.” Today, when we think of Tesla, we think of ...read more

The Test Of A Stranger Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

Watch Joseph’s strategy here. Joseph is alternating the sun and the frost in order to break the brothers open to God. When things alternate between really hot and really cold, it breaks things. It breaks the ground.

We’ve called Joseph’s life a roller-coaster… … where his dips included two years of languishing in prison and eleven years of slavery. And we meet him in today’s story, he’s been promoted over the world empire, Egypt, and second only to Pharaoh inside the world’s most important nation of the time. ...read more

Suffocating In Worry

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 30, 2022

Worry causes us to feel as though we’re grasping for breath and walking around half-dead. Worry zaps our life and drains our strength. In order to have true life in the Lord, we must place all our cares in the hands of Jesus Christ.

E. Stanley Jones, a missionary to India in the early 1900’s, stated, “I live better by faith and confidence than by fear, doubt and anxiety. In anxiety and worry, my being is grasping for breath - these are not my native air. But in faith and confidence, I breathe freely - these are my native ...read more
