    How Is Your Memory?

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Nov 12, 2025
     | 150 views

    Did you know our memory is a gift from God? God has given us many wonderful gifts, but our Memory is one of the great gifts God has given us. Just think about it!!! Wouldn’t it be a terrible to live our entire life on earth and when we die nobody remembers that we ever existed!!!

    • This is why we all want to leave behind a good legacy of ourselves so that our family and friends will remember us. • That is why when we die and people attend our funeral service the minister can remind people of the godly life we lived.

    The Idols That Make Us Idle

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Nov 20, 2025
     | 217 views

    It is not unusual to hear a teenager or adults these days say, I AM BORED!!! The word “Bored” originates from the verb “bore”, which means to pierce or drill. The term has evolved over time to describe a feeling of emptiness or lack of interest, often associated with a dull life.

    God did not put us here to live a life of boredom!!! The Word of God tells us Eccl.9:10, Whatsoever Thy Hands Findeth to do, do it with all thy might. Reading that verse of scripture does not describe a life of boredom. Illus: Isaac Watts said: Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to ...read more

    Let Faith Arise!

    Contributed by Amar Chandnani on Nov 23, 2025
     | 53 views

    Faith Finds Its Worth In The Character Of The One It Trusts. YOUR FAITH will change your FATE. Whomsoever you put your FAITH in will determine your destiny and your destination.

    LET FAITH ARISE! Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1 FAITH = TRUST Faith comes from the Latin fides, meaning “trust, confidence.” Trust stems from traust, meaning “confidence, help, protection.” If Faith is about Trust - then who ...read more

    A call to reject restored sacrifices and shadows, embracing Christ’s finished work through the torn veil and shepherding believers toward the true Lamb.

    There was a moment in ancient Israel every family knew too well. A father would step into the small pen behind the house. His children would stand at the doorway, quiet, watching. He would kneel among the gentle, wool-covered shapes and place his hand on one particular lamb—soft, innocent, ...read more

    This sermon proclaims that at Christmas God gave the perfect gift of love—sending His Son to redeem us, securing our salvation by the Spirit, and calling us to live out that love through Christlike sacrifice, patience, and truth.

    The Heart of Christmas: Love Galatians 4:4-5; Ephesians 1:3-14; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 Just a few days ago, many of us woke up to Christmas morning.

    This is the intro to our series, "What it Mean's to be Human". We go back to the beginning to see why we were created.

    If you are going to start a sermon series on being human, then it would be best to start at the beginning. And the first words of the Bible are found in Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God . . . And that’s where I want to begin this morning. In the beginning. With God. Now, I know that not everyone ...read more

     | 110 views

    God uses our ordinary gifts and daily acts of service to bless others, display His grace, and bring glory to Jesus in everyday life.

    Friends, can we talk about the quiet heroes God sends our way? The ones with flour on their aprons and prayer on their lips; the ones who show up with a casserole, a kind word, a seat at the table. I think of a dear woman I knew—no spotlight, no stage—just a well-worn Bible, a wobbly kitchen chair, ...read more

    True stability and rest are found by knowing God through Jesus, the Bread of Life, who anchors us when life feels uncertain and overwhelming.

    Some weeks feel like riding a rickety elevator: you’re not sure what floor you’ll land on, you just hope the doors open and you can step out standing.

     | 149 views

    The sermon emphasizes the vital role of gathering as a church community to encourage, support, and strengthen one another in love and faith as we follow Christ.

    There’s a sacred sweetness in the sound of gathered voices. A familiar face across the aisle. A hug that lingers just a moment longer than usual. Coffee cups, creaky pews, and kind words. It all whispers a truth our souls know well: we are meant to be together. Life presses in with long weeks and ...read more
