    "The Time Has Come..." Series

    Contributed by Christopher Howitz on Oct 29, 2017
     | 7,358 views

    "Jesus is YHWH himself, bringing people back from spiritual exile, the returning King himself, bringing the long-awaited circumcision of the heart by the Holy Spirit."

    Last week we stood on the edge of the Promised Land, and we were given the choice, by YHWH, between life and death. However, the simple option of choosing life, of choosing YHWH, or loving Him fully and others equally, we discovered, is only possible through radical heart surgery – circumcised ...read more

    A Shortened Time, A Passing World

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 8, 2017
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,338 views

    The reordering of our priorities in the face of an impending crisis.

    A SHORTENED TIME, A PASSING WORLD. 1 Corinthians 7:29-31. This is one of Paul’s ‘I say, not the Lord’ passages (cf. 1 Corinthians 7:25), meaning that he is not here directly quoting a word from Jesus. Not that his comments are uninspired, as some contend. The Apostle goes on to qualify ...read more

    We are to come to worship in 5 ways- Psalm 95 (Material adapted from Jack Peters at: http://www.sermonseeds.org/Poetry/Psalm%2091-120/Psalm%2095.htm)

    HoHum: A little boy asked his father what was the highest number he had ever counted. Replying that he didn't know, the father asked his son his highest number. It was 973. "Why did you stop there?" wondered the father. "Because church was over." It is a shame that we can make a worship service a ...read more

    Fire! Baptism! Discerning This Time

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 1, 2016
    based on 4 ratings

    Division: a declaration of how things will be, rather than an imperative of how they should be.

    FIRE! BAPTISM! DISCERNING THIS TIME. Luke 12:49-56. There is a measure of dissonance as this passage comes crashing through Jesus’ symphony of peace. “Fire!” begins the Greek of Luke 12:49. “Fire I came to cast into the earth, and what will I if it be already kindled?” Fire speaks to us of ...read more

    "Bearing Testimony In Troubled Times"

    based on 3 ratings
     | 14,455 views

    God wants to use our tests to provide a testimony.

    It seems like everywhere you look today, there is someone who is predicting that troubled times are ahead. I've heard several who have claimed that our nation today is more divided than it has been since the days before the civil war. I'm not completely persuaded about that, but I do think our ...read more

    A Strategy For Success in Troubled Times Introduction: Paul, who is the writer of our text, provides a strategy for the Philippian Church as they move forward to become the best that they could be for Christ.

    Because the end is near… pray, love, and serve.

    Honestly, many of us are little afraid of closely examining the Bible’s message on the future. If we focus on the end times too long, we are afraid of turning into a guy walking around the city with a sandwich board yelling about judgment and the end of time. We easily get confused when reading ...read more

    Praising God In Bad Times

     | 8,323 views

    In II Chronicles 20, we read about King Jehoshaphat of Judah. The Moabites, long-time enemies of Judah, had formed a powerful alliance with the Ammonites and other surrounding nations and marched against Jehoshaphat.

    The enemy forces were encamped at Ein Gedi. The king and his people were filled with alarm, so Jehoshaphat called a fast and began to seek the Lord as did all the people. In his prayer, Jehoshaphat talked about evil coming upon the nation, in the form of the sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine. ...read more

    It’s Time To Move On Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,279 views

    Past mistakes, failures and heartaches can be debilitating. We tend to either deny our past or try to compensate for our past. But neither resolve the damaging effects of our past. We need to move on. But how?

    “Remember not the former things, neither consider the things of old.” Isaiah 43:18 LEAVE THE PAST BEHIND - If you hope to make progress in this new year, then you must leave last year behind. The past is over and done with. Don’t dwell on what could have been or should have been. It is what ...read more

    Time To Get Back To Work

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 2, 2023
     | 1,649 views

    It appears like everybody needs something from us, family members, friends, bosses at work, the schools that we may attend, our churches, clubs, etc. We wind up racing through life, taking care of the necessary, the immediate, and the urgent.

    Repeatedly the important is abandoned. Our problem is not the volume of requests or lack of organizational skills, but values - what is really important to us. Our values and our priorities are reflected in how we use our assets/resources. Frequently our activities give a false representation of ...read more

    This sermon explains the meaning of "redeeming the time" or "making the most of every opportunity" in Ephesians 5:16.

    Opening: Suppose you had a bank that credited your account each morning with $86,000 that carried over no balance from day to day. It allowed you to keep no cash in your account, and every evening canceled whatever part of the amount you failed to use during the day. What would you do with it? Of ...read more

     | 884 views

    There are no 007 Christians. Therefore, it’s time to come out of the darkness and into the light of Jesus. In this message we’ll look at how this is our reasonable service, an essential necessity of belief, and an absolute demand in our journey of faith.

    Is the Sabbath Mandated for Christians? How should we approach the concept of the Sabbath?

    “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God.

     | 1,020 views

    Last time we met I introduced what I called being a secret disciple. Today, I’d like to introduce another type of disciple, one seen in the life of Peter, which I am calling, being a distant disciple. A distant disciple is one who follows Jesus, but at a distance.
