Celebration Of The King Series

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Mar 28, 2023

Palm Sunday: This message on "The Triumphal Entry" teaches us some things about worship, concerning what we should be thankful for and what we should celebrate when we find ourselves in the presence of the one true King, Jesus Christ.

One Palm Sunday, a little boy had a sore throat and had to stay home from church with a babysitter. When the rest of the family came home, they were carrying palm branches; and the little boy asked what they were for. His father told him that people waved them in celebration as Jesus passed by. ...read more

Lessons From Olivet

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Jan 28, 2022

The Mount of Olives was important to Jesus. It is a place of praise, a place of rest, a place of communion, a place of surrender, a place of blessing, and a place of retreat – things important to both Christ and believers today.

I’ve entitled our message today “Lessons from Olivet,” and I wish to begin by reading Luke 22:39, which is our focal verse. This verse says, “Coming out, He went to the Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed, and His disciples also followed Him.” This morning, I feel led to preach a message about ...read more

"i'm On An Unsinkable Ship."

Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Apr 2, 2024

Call Waiting Series

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 27, 2022

If God puts unexpected obstacles in your path to ministry, how should you handle it?

When I graduated from seminary, I had no idea when or where I would be called into ministry. Many of my classmates were luckier. They knew where they were going. They had received a call. I, on the other hand, would not even be eligible to receive a call for at least one year, perhaps two or more. ...read more
