    This sermon explores Psalm 1, emphasizing the contrast between righteous and wicked paths, and the blessings of a life devoted to God's Word.

    Welcome, beloved friends, to this sacred space where we gather to engage with the divine truth of God's Word. We are not merely spectators here, we are participators in the grand narrative of redemption. We are not just observers, but active participants in the unfolding of God's eternal plan. ...read more

  • "I Am New" Series

    Contributed by Sean Harder on Mar 12, 2014
     | 5,402 views

    Why not use this Lenten season to work on your relationship with Christ, to invest as much in this most important relationship, as you do in other relationships in your life, so that you can feel like the new you is rising with Him at Easter.

    “I Am New” (Ephesians 4:17-24) How many of you have a hard time throwing old things, especially clothes, away? Maybe you hold on to them thinking some day I’ll lose some weight and be able to fit into that again. Or maybe its gone out of style but you know that like most things, ...read more

  • Restore To Me The Joy Of Your Salvation

    Contributed by Jerry Smith on Mar 11, 2008
    based on 11 ratings
     | 33,953 views

    With the pressures of life and sins we commit, we can lose the joy of our salvation and become dry. God wants to restore us to full and complete JOY in Him.

    Joy is to be an evidence of walking with Jesus! The book we are studying in our home group is called “Outflow”. The basic premise is that we are to let Jesus so fill our lives that He spills out and overflows from our life to others. Over the pass three weeks while reading the book I had to come ...read more

  • Nice Church

    Contributed by Karl Ingersoll on Jun 19, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,917 views

    There is more to the faith and to the work of the church than trying to raise a "nice" army. There are those things that are actually of greater importance.

    Ever have a bad day? That’s a bit of a rhetorical question actually. All of us have. One mother writes: It was one of the worst days of my life: The washing machine broke down, the telephone kept ringing, my head ached, and the mail carrier brought a bill I had no money to pay. Almost to the ...read more

  • Christ And Criticism Series

    Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 27, 2021
     | 3,153 views

    There is a legitimate place for expressing critical feelings. It is just that it is a delicate matter. It is almost as delicate as trying to catch soap bubbles on a pin.

    Some years back at the University of Wisconsin a group of literary students formed a club. The purpose of the club was to criticize. The members would submit a story, and it would be dissected mercilessly with no punches pulled. The sessions were so brutal that the club members dubbed themselves, ...read more

    Listen to a Genuine Love Song 1) Learn how much God has done for you 2) Learn how much God expects from you

    What percentage of songs on the radio is about love? 50%? 75%? 90%? I don’t know the exact percentage but whether it’s rock, pop, or country, I’d say that most songs are about love and relationships. Does this mean that songwriters understand love because they write about it so much? No. Not when ...read more

    A sermon for the New Year. We have a bright new hope. We’re not yet what we should be but we’re not what we once were--without hope and without God.

    "He who sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new" (Revelation 21:5). It is January 2nd, 2011…so far, so good! How pleased we are with things that are new.

    In spite of the fact that Jesus paid it all for us on the cross, people continue to struggle, trying to earn the Christian life. If that is your situation today, I plead with you to stop trying, and start trusting. Be diligent to enter into that rest.
