Our Conduct And The Comforter

The Monster Of Shame Series

Contributed by Steve Ely on Jan 23, 2022

Our mind is a battleground. The battle to become more like Jesus takes place in our mind. There are mind monsters that we must confront. It is time to turn on the light!

I. Introduction The Scare Factory illustrated in Monsters Inc. is still in full effect. However, rather than harvesting the screams of children to power the city of "Monstropolis", this scare factory harvests our peace and our sanity. Adam and Eve fall in the Garden and believe ...read more

Thy Word I Have Hidden In My Heart Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 13, 2022

Psalm 119 isn’t blasé about God’s commandments. Psalm 119 isn’t neural about God’s precepts. Psalm 119 loves and adores the law of God!

Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in all of your Bibles. Now, the longest chapter in your Bible is devoted to how important the Bible is to our lives. Even though the Bible is really valuable, the words and wisdom of the Bible are objectionable to so many people. Banning the Bible The Bible is ...read more

When the wind is right, South Koreans launch “Bible Balloons” into North Korea, where the Bible is banned. They are chocked full of Bibles on SD cards, flash drives, and photos of the Bible’s pages.

A Celebration Of God's Love Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 27, 2021

The 278 words of Psalm 107 give of four different spectacular cases. At the heart of the Psalm are these four scenes. These four accounts of human experience deal with the realities of life in all of its fullness.

The Psalms were sung on board of the ship when the Pilgrims set sail in the Mayflower. The Bay Psalm Book was the third book printed in America. Until the end of the eighteenth century the Psalms were exclusively sung in churches. It was Psalm 127 that Benjamin Franklin quoted in 1787 as he moved ...read more

Why Hope? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

Peter calls on the Christians in his day to have hope much like Martin Luther King Jr. did in his day. Peter says, “I command you to be hopeful though you are suffering greatly.”

Sometimes our hope is invisible. The last words of dying people have always fascinated me. They are so revealing of a person's heart and soul. John Wilkes Booth who assassinated President Lincoln said only two words at his death: “Useless. Useless.” These are words of hopelessness. Fox News ...read more

Nowhere To Run, Nowhere To Hide! Series

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Nov 8, 2022

Israel acted as if God did not see their heart and their attitude. God saw all the meeting and plans with Egypt. God saw the attitude towards His word. How strange that so many people think that they can hide from God.

Sermon: Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide! Scripture: Isaiah 30:1-14 NLT “What sorrow awaits my rebellious children,” says the Lord. “You make plans that are contrary to mine. You make alliances not directed by my Spirit, thus piling up your sins. 2 For without consulting me, you have gone down to ...read more

Anybody here remember Alice Cooper? No, she didn’t used to attend this church. As a matter of fact, she isn’t even a she. Alice Cooper is a man.

How Do I Strengthen My Faith? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

The church of Colossae was dealing with a new form of teaching similar to the kind of thing we witnessed with Tom Hanks’ movie, The Da Vinci Code some years back. Only this was entertainment, it was heresy. This new brand of teaching sweeping the day denied Jesus really was a human.

Welcome and thank you for worshipping with us this morning. Keep Colossians 2 open before you, will you? Despite perceptions, people do love change. Many of you have been home with nothing to do for weeks now. If someone had come to you in early January and said, “I’ll give you a three month ...read more

Why Is Jesus So Significant? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

Isaiah 53 “looks as if it had been written beneath the cross upon Golgotha.” Many believe this is the best single chapter in the whole Bible to explain what happened on the cross.

Today, I want to invite believers both here and a Cross Church to participate with us as we take the Lord’s Supper. We are devoting ourselves to a study of one of the powerful chapters in the Bible. Nowhere in all the Old Testament does the gospel shine more brilliantly than in Isaiah 53. I hope ...read more
