    We must fight the good fight, we must finish the race, and we must remain faithful.

    This morning, as I watched the start of a new day, the sun slowly rose over the distant horizon. As the darkness that had previously enveloped the sky quickly and silently retreated to its assigned hiding place, I had to give God his due praise. The night was and is cold and dark. Nevertheless, ...read more

     | 2,863 views

    In the first miracle in Mark 5, we see Jesus set free the man who was possessed by many demons. We see the sad reaction of the people of that region and learn the sad truth that some people choose the swine over the Savior. We also learn that everyone has a testimony.

    Introduction: A. Let’s start with a question: Are there certain places you don’t like to go when it’s dark? 1. How about down in the basement? Out in the woods? Down a dark road? Or into a cemetery? 2. During my elementary school years, we lived on the northeast side of Syracuse and around the ...read more

    Breaking Free Rev.

    Lessons From The Coyote

    Contributed by John Dixon on Jul 20, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,521 views

    At first glance the sly Coyote seems to be a genius! With every cleverly laid trap and ingenious deception the Coyote meets with failure. There is no better contemporary example of the fool described in the book of Proverbs than the cartoon Coyote.

    PROVERBS 26:1-28 (NASB) Like snow in summer and like rain in harvest, So honor is not fitting for a fool. 2 Like a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying, So a curse without cause does not alight. 3 A whip is for the horse, a ...read more

    What Do We Do When Control Is Taken Away?

    Contributed by Doug Koehler on May 2, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,942 views

    We like to be in control, some of us need to be in control but, when that control is taken away by sinful man or others, we need to look to the one who is always in full control.

    Acts 4:23-33 I suspect that most all of the conflicts and battles of life boil down to issues of control. Republicans want control of the congress and Democrats don’t want to give it up. Israelis want to control Palestinians and Palestinians resist. Sunnis and Shiites fight for control of Iraq. ...read more

    Euodia and Syntche will forever be remembered for not getting along in the church at Philippi. What did Paul have to say about Church members in conflict?

    “WHY CAN’T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?” To many of us the L. A. riots of several years ago were just a news story. A score of people were killed and several thousand were injured in the ensuing fights that erupted over a racially charged situation. The African-American community in L.A. correctly ...read more

    Why Are We Praying For God’s Will If It Always Happens Anyway? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 29, 2025
     | 754 views

    Many presume that everything that happens is God's will. That's not true. What does it look like to pray that God's will would start to be done here on earth as it is done in heaven?

    WHY PRAY THIS? This is a prayer because it isn’t happening much now. - Matthew 6:10. - So in this fourth part of the sermon, Jesus calls us to pray for God’s will to be done. - But, wait, isn’t that already happening all the time? We hear people constantly speak that whatever happened was God’s ...read more

    Candle-mas, the story of Simeon is a simple story, but if you look closely, there is a lot about the way we should be living our lives … as either Jesus will appear one day on earth, or we will die and meet him in heaven; either way, we want to be ready.

    Lots of people celebrate New Year’s in different ways. And in addition of celebrating, sometimes we set new goals for ourselves. The fact is, it is an opportunity for a new start; fresh ideas, even setting a renewed vision. But, what if our focus was solely on what God would have us do?
