"What Is Revival?"

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Aug 28, 2007

A sermon on the subject of revival designed to prepare the church for an upcoming revival meeting.

What is revival? This is a good question for us to ask in light of our upcoming revival meeting. Some say that a revival is exactly that: a meeting, one that we have in either the Spring or the Fall. Some are scheduled for a weekend, some for half a week, or, though it is rare nowadays, an entire ...read more

The Beatitudes: Building Blocks to Be Like Jesus #5

✎ One of my favorite comics is Peanuts.

I Complained

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Nov 14, 2011

The fact remains that too many of God’s people like to complain. We especially like to complain in order to make the problems of life someone else fault. We need to turn our complaints into Praise.

Perfection Series

Contributed by Steve Shepherd on Nov 22, 2011

1- Don’t think you are there 2- Forget the past 3- Press on toward the goal

INTRO.- ILL.- PERFECTIONISM and bowling? Odds against rolling a perfect 300 in the game are about 225,000 to one. And one bowler appropriately collapsed when he qualified to join that brotherhood of 300. Another bowler just couldn’t bring himself to play the final ball of an otherwise perfect ...read more

After The Resurrection Series

INTRO.- ILL.- It was following the resurrection and disciples were still somewhat scattered about Jerusalem and the surrounding villages. John finds Peter and runs up to him.

Desire - Only Met In Jesus Series

Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on Feb 26, 2013

The deepest desires of our hearts are meant to be met as we experience God's glory, but fulfillment of our desires has often been hijacked by cheap imitations provided by our culture.

In preparation for today’s message, continuing our exploration of the glory of God, I read a sermon by CS Lewis entitled “The Weight of Glory”. And it launched me down a path that I am going to attempt to describe, and hope that you might accompany me on, this morning. Now, the ...read more

The New Life Series

Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on Mar 19, 2013

The result of our confession of sin and God cleansing us from our sin is to proclaim his righteousness through teaching others and worshiping him through our brokenness.

The Psalm that we have been studying during this Lenten season has taken us deep into our hearts, confronted us with the reality of our sin, and given us incredibly beautiful words with which to pray for forgiveness and cleansing. Last week we concentrated on the verses where we pray, ...read more

Overcoming Depression Series

Contributed by Landon Winstead on Dec 31, 2013

There are some tools that God has given us to deal with depression.

As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? My tears have been my food day and night, while people say to me all day long, “Where is your God?” These things I remember as I pour ...read more

Turning Resolutions, Into "Realities"

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Jan 2, 2013

Its not our circumstances that need to change, but our mindset, our way of thinking, Because when it does, changed circumstances will be the result of it! God is not moved, nor will He ever be affected by our circumstances,

I Cried Out To God Series

INTRO.- Life is full difficulties and sometimes it’s more of a disaster than a difficulty. Like Hurricane Sandy hitting New York and New Jersey. That was one of the worst, at least, for them.

Waiting Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Oct 29, 2012

The thing we have the least patience with is waiting. When we are facing a difficulty we want instant results. When God doesn't operate on our table we get frustrated. David got frustrated too but how he handles it can help us have patience too.

Psalm 13 teaches that waiting is really hard. There is nothing worse than being in a tough space and pleading with God and nothing happens! We saw this in Psalm 10 as well when David cried: “Why do you stand so far away?” 1 David feels like God must have forgotten him in his trial. ...read more
