    The Only God, The First And The Last Series

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Aug 7, 2022
     | 2,277 views

    It’s foolish to put our confidence in what we own, or in what we look like, or in the people we love. All these good things only spring from the Lord God, the overflowing fountain. And none of these things can save or redeem, for God alone is the First and the Last.

    One of my favourite Bible stories is in 1 Kings 18. That’s the chapter where God has a showdown with Baal, a dramatic contest on the top of Mount Carmel. You remember how Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal to a competition. ‘Come up the mountain,’ he said. ‘Bring two oxen for sacrifice, wood to ...read more

    Our mission conference begins three weeks from Wednesday!

    Thankful From The Soul

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Nov 26, 2022
     | 2,540 views

    The challenge for us today is to make sure when we thank God for our blessings that it is not flippant, but thankfulness that comes from our very soul.

    THANKSGIVING 2022: THANKFUL FROM THE SOUL PSALM 103:1-22 #thanksgiving2022 INTRODUCTION Apparently when I read Psalm 103, my heart likes it. I say I like it because as I sat down to prepare this sermon I noticed, by way of how I save my sermons, that I had already preached a sermon on Psalm 103 ...read more

    Find the highest honor in the lowest place. That’s where Jesus found it, and that’s where you will find it, as well.

    When concert artists do a concert, they usually present a rider, which spells out what they expect from their hosts. Beyonce has such a rider, and several years ago (2013), The Daily Star obtained a copy of her rider. It includes the following demands: • All crew members must wear 100 percent ...read more

    If you want Jesus’ peace to replace your fear, receive the Holy Spirit, believe that Jesus is alive and that He is Lord. Surrender your life to the Spirit of the living, Lord Jesus Christ.

    In 1973, producers hired 26-year-old director Steven Spielberg to make a movie based on Peter Benchley's novel about shark attacks called Jaws. The movie was so scary that even to this day millions of Americans panic when they get wind that a shark might be present in their beach area. A ...read more

    God has gone to a great deal of trouble to give us "love letters" that express how much He cares for us. But what happens when we don't accept that He loves us?

    (I began the sermon by showing the following video featuring Jeff Foxworthy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxFqVQFvhvw - starting at timestamp1:40). The following is a transcript of the portion of his talk: Jeff Foxworthy agreed to do a small group study with the homeless at an Atlanta Christian ...read more

    Finding The Faith Of Our Heroes - Part 4: Abraham And Sarah Series

    Contributed by Rick Crandall on Sep 9, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,564 views

    Why do we need faith in God? 1. Faith motivates us to move for God (vs. 8-9). 2. Faith wins the fight against our fears (vs. 8-9). 3. Faith puts us in touch with God's power (vs. 11-12). 4. Faith makes us willing to wait on the Lord (vs. 9-10, 13-16).

    Are The Father, Son, And Holy Spirit The Same Essence?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on May 25, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,269 views

    In the church, a lot of confusing language is used to try and explain or define things.

    Today we will look at the Trinity, often defined as "one in ‘essence,’ three in person." What does that mean exactly? God is three Persons, and the name 'God' implies one ‘essence.’ If God is "three Persons," how can there be "one" ‘essence’? The meaning of the ...read more

     | 2,049 views

    In the late 1980s the word 'Gender' was intentionally turned into a sociological concept.

    The word 'gender' comes from the Latin word 'genus' which means 'kind' or 'type.' In the few hundred years before the 1950s, the term 'gender' was used only in the field of grammar. In 1955, John William Money, a New Zealand psychologist, sexologist, and ...read more

    So that we might get to know this wonderful God of the Bible we serve in a better way in this sermon we want to look at the name of EL-ELYON.

    Names are important. Most parents put a great deal of thought into naming a child. After all, one day that child is going to grow up and tell them what they think about being stuck with the name they must live with the rest of their life. Naming a child is such an important thing, that many ...read more

    When Jesus gets in your boat, everything changes. Sometimes God’s greatest invitations come in the middle of ordinary moments. In Luke 5, Jesus steps into Peter’s empty boat and turns a night of failure into a calling that changes everything.

    Jesus Christ stands as heaven’s Commander—our Defender, Champion, and Warrior—declaring in every battle that no one is like God.

    Some truths must be approached quietly… not because they are fragile, but because we are. Some truths cannot be slammed on the table. They must be opened slowly, like a gift you weren’t expecting but desperately needed. Some truths do not enter the mind by force. They slip in through ...read more
