    What Happens When The Camera Turns On You? Series

    Contributed by Sherm Nichols on Oct 10, 2007
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,403 views

    There must come a time of godly division when we accept or reject Jesus. John, in this part of his gospel, is pushing his readers to consider their belief about Jesus.

    You may remember this Sunday as the Sunday that Church was no longer safe. (Use video camera). Once in a while, for special occasions and things, we have video taped our worship time and there has been a camera on my face up here. What would happen if we took the focus off the front of the ...read more

    First Things First Series

     | 10,524 views

    Use what you have before you ask for more; put the work of the Lord first in your priorities; and expect the church itself to live in faith and with godly priorities.

    It is very important to put first things first. It’s important to get things in the right order. If you don’t get first things first, life just does not work out right. For example, speech. Language is tricky, and if you don’t get the words in the right order, the meaning can be drastically ...read more

    You see God already had a new life waiting for them, not some old fixed up version of life, with a new paint job waiting to be applied, But a brand new life, in a brand new land,

    Not just another make over! As I was thinking about what I was going to speak on this week, I thought about a lot of things. But clarity for me from God, didn’t all finally come together until late Saturday afternoon. You see, I have been re-doing this little convertible, it’s a 66 ...read more

    How Jesus Dealt With Rejection

    Contributed by Spencer Miller on Mar 10, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,043 views

    How should we deal with or respond to rejection? It’s a very good question especially when it comes to the Church.

    The now infamous Lance Armstrong once said, “A boo is a lot louder than a cheer.” And he actually hit the nail on the head, because no one wants to be rejected. It can make you come to the conclusion Oprah Winfrey came to when she said, “I don’t want anyone who doesn’t want me” because no one ...read more

    Written in 2020, this message applies to all fear; but especially addresses fear of the Corona Virus. Fear is part of the human condition; but our fears would cease if we would place our hope in Jesus Christ, instead of our false securities.

    I’ve entitled our sermon for this morning, “Take Off Your Mask and Be Unafraid.” All of us want to feel as though we have a good handle on life and that nothing ever shakes us; but in reality, we are fearful creatures. So, what are some common fears we might see? Well, some people fear growing ...read more

    Hard Things To Understand

    Contributed by James May on Jun 2, 2024
     | 2,475 views

    There are many hard to understand words in the Bible, but all of it can be understood if we will allow the Spirit of God to dwell in us and open the eyes of our understanding, and then receive it as Truth.

    Hard Things to Understand Many people in the world reject the truths of God’s word simply because they find it impossible to understand. Although there have been many translations and versions created in order to help us read the word, because even in the church you would find that multitudes of ...read more

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 2, 2021
     | 2,015 views

    All of life is filled with parables and metaphors that point to the meta-narrative of existence. The four seasons are laced with it. Media, movies, books, and stories are filled with expressions of the longings of our hearts. We long for a place we've never been.
