    I hope that this very special Christmas message will touch your heart, and that after hearing it you will find yourself a little richer in faith, a little stronger in spirit, and once again reminded of the true meaning of Christmas.

    I invite you this day to come along with me as we take a journey back in time to the holy lands of Israel. We will begin in the District of Galilee, and then the city of Nazareth, and then conclude our journey in the tiny town of Bethlehem, birthplace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I ...read more

    The Freedom Of Forgiveness

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Nov 5, 2023
     | 1,321 views

    This morning we look at Matthew 18:21-35 and learn the true meaning behind Forgiveness. Forgiving others is not just a command which Christ gives to us, but something which heals us from bitterness.

    The Freedom of Forgiveness (Thanks to Jeff Strite @ Sermon Central for many ideas in this) Our Epistle Lesson begins with Paul thanking God for the Philippians. Their Bishop, Epaphroditus, brought Paul a substantial love offering to help cover his costs while he sat in house arrest in Rome. ...read more

    Love Means What? Series

    We hear all the time that we are to love each other, but what does that really mean? Today we are going to take a look at what Jesus might have meant by "loving each other as I have loved you."

    I wonder why it’s such a compliment to tell a woman she looks like a breath of spring, but not to tell her she looks like the end of hard winter. Isn’t that the same thing? I wonder why it pleases her to say time stands still when you look into her face, but not to say her face would stop a clock. ...read more

    The Meaning And Purpose Of Life

    Contributed by John Newbaker on Jul 10, 2021
     | 7,166 views

    There are many people today who feel that life doesn’t have meaning and purpose. They feel empty. Nothing interests them. They have no drive, no determination, and no desires. They’re depressed, discouraged, disillusioned, and dissatisfied. They feel they have no hope.

    I want to start off by asking 2 questions: 1/ Does this life have meaning and purpose, and if so, 2/ Where can we find the meaning and purpose of life? There are many people today who feel that life doesn’t have meaning and purpose. They feel empty. Nothing interests them. They have no ...read more

    Worship is not what is taking place around you: It’s what is taking place within you. Worship is not a time and a place you attend, it’s how we live our life all the time. Worship is a living testimony, of God in your life.

    What it means to Worship Romans 12:1-2 I want to introduce you to a mythical church member that I am going to call Kenny. When we first meet Kenny he is attending services at First Church but he left because the services were too formal, every one on the platform wore a tie. He and his ...read more

    Sabbath Means Rest

    Contributed by Jerry Smith on May 17, 2014
     | 4,610 views

    Thus, if someone truly wants to observe the Sabbath Day in modern times (New Testament era), that’s a tall order! One that I do not think anyone could keep, because as religious as the Jews were, they could not keep it (Acts 15:10).

    SABBATH MEANS REST Mark 2:27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Q: What happens when we operate a cellphone, tablet, ipod, etc. all day? Q: What happens when we ride a horse all day? Q: What happens when we operate an air-conditioner all day? Q: ...read more

     | 4,684 views

    Do we truly honor Memorial Day? We have lost much of the intended meaning of this "holy-day" since it was established in the aftermath of the Civil War. However, God’s Word gives clear instruction on the true meaning a memorial should include. Discover it
