     | 5,113 views

    There is a real war going on. 1. We are at war, 2. We have an evil enemy, 3. We need to put on our armor, 4. We need to get into the fight.

    Star Wars January 3, 2016 Isaiah 14:9-16 9 The realm of the dead below is all astir to meet you at your coming; it rouses the spirits of the departed to greet you— all those who were leaders in the world; it makes them rise from their thrones— all those who were kings over the ...read more

    From Heb. 12:1 the race set before us is: 1. A Set Race (Sovereignty); 2. A Marked Out Race (Guidance); 3. An Individually Crafted Race; 4. A Forward Looking Race (The Race before us)

    The Race Set Before Us PPT 1 Series Title Slide Last week we began a new series, "The Amazing Race, winning the race that matters." It is centered on the teachings and principles found in Hebrews 12:1-3, and since it is a passage that talks about running a race, I thought I could incorporate some ...read more

    A Reality Frozen In Anticipation

     | 1,562 views

    There are moments in life when the webbing of our delusions lift, and we are able to see the truth unobstructed. Oh so rarely do we get to see things in the fullness of how they really are. Our preconceptions cloud situations. Our minds cloud things.

    "I am trying to rip open the inconsolable secret in each one of you—the secret which hurts so much that you take your revenge on it by calling it names like Nostalgia and Romanticism and Adolescence; the secret also which pierces with such sweetness that when, in very intimate conversation, ...read more

    Same Old Story

     | 5,880 views

    Scriptures should always be looked at with a fresh set of eyes so that new insights can be seen.

    I’ve heard the story before. I mean I know it backwards and forwards, I can probably tell it in my sleep. Do I have really have to hear it again, let alone preach on it? Heck, there is even a song about it, “We three kings of orient are; bearing gifts we traverse afar, la la la la la la lalala ...read more

    We're coming up on NFL football season. Autumn approaches. There is no greater idol in Wisconsin than Packer and Badger football season. Green Bay Packer season, of course, being the most important.

    “When we place our dependence in God, we are unencumbered, and we have no worry. In fact, we may even be reckless, insofar as our part in the production is concerned. This confidence, this sureness of action, is both contagious and an aid to the perfect action. The rest is in the hands of God – and ...read more

    Keys to running the race of life in the way that pleases God.

    *ILL>In 1863, as Abraham Lincoln prepared to sign the Emancipation Proclammation he took his pen, moved it to the signature line, then dropped the pen.

    Passion For God’s House

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 8, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,332 views

    This message looks at four reasons to have a passion for God’s house. First, it is a place to satisfy our passion; secondly, it is a place for all to take refuge; thirdly, it is a place of blessing; and last of all, it is a place we would rather be.

    I want you to think about how you feel whenever you decide to attend church. Do you dread going to church; do you feel complacent about it; or do you anticipate going to church with a fervent passion and desire? In our message this morning, we’ll view a passage from Psalm that’s said to be ...read more

    Religion Vs. Relationship

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 9, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,288 views

    This message contrasts religion and relationship, showing that religion is not to be desired. However, a relationship with Jesus is to be highly treasured. Why? Religion brings about death, but relationship brings about life.

    Whenever you hear of the word “religion,” what comes to mind? Perhaps attending a church service, someone worshipping a Buddha statue, a baptismal service, someone reciting a chant or prayer, someone fasting, people praying to the east every hour, someone making an animal sacrifice, or someone ...read more

    As Christians and seekers, our faith and future stands or falls on the resurrection of Jesus.

    A good name is better than fine perfume, and the day of death better than the day of birth. - Ecclesiastes 7:1 23I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; 24but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. 25Convinced of this, I know that ...read more

    This sermon has a mission focus and explains that God blesses his people in order that they may become a blessing to others in his Creation.

    INTRODUCTION I need your help. You see, every day I come across people, and every night I see a world of people on the news, who have no good fortune. Nothing seems to go their way. There are so many. Perhaps you’ve met one or two. The frustrated, the depressed, the unfulfilled. The unemployed, ...read more

    I Am Good Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Sep 12, 2018
     | 3,866 views

    The reason we shout for joy, the reason we worship Him with gladness, the reason we enter His Presence with thanksgiving, the reason we give thanks to Him and praise His name is that "the Lord is good and His steadfast love endures forever. His faithfulness continues through all generations.”

    One of my favorite novels is Daniel Defoe’s “Robinson Crusoe.” You know, it’s sad how we’ve taken great novels like “Robinson Crusoe,” “Gulliver’s Travels,” “Moby Dick,” or “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” and relegated them to children’s stories. We’ve done the same with Samson and Goliath in the ...read more

    These proverbs present the solution for the peaceful life.

    Introduction We have an interesting selection of proverbs. We are told that gray hair is a glorious crown; patience is more effective than strength; and an act of chance is a sure thing of being of God.

    Be Practical, Not Legalistic Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,311 views

    Jesus taught the Pharisees how He desires sincere love for people over meaningless ritual, and how He desires grace over legalism. Those who adhere to ritual and tradition are often unable to love others or worship God.

    In our message today, we will see how Jesus taught the Pharisees that forgiveness and grace toward others is a necessity before worship. The capacity to extend love and mercy is something that must be present in a person’s heart before he or she is able to worship the Lord in spirit and truth, as ...read more
