    The State Of Our Church

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Mar 31, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,582 views

    Our annual End of the Fiscal Year necessitates assessing where our church is and what we should be focusing on in the next year. Your congregation should hear something like this from you, too.

    I truly thank God for His allowing me to pastor a congregation like you. It is my distinct pleasure to serve you as you serve the Lord. We are in a small “bedroom” community that serves the two larger cities. A bedroom community is one where people choose to live even though they ...read more

    Who Am I

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 15, 2015
     | 7,538 views

    Like Peter, we are followers of Jesus. Like Peter, we sometimes have deep faith, and, at other times, a lack of faith. Jesus saw in Peter the same thing he sees in us-building material that can be shaped into a people of faith to serve his reign.

    The Gospel reading from Matthew 16:13-20 takes place in the region of Caesarea Philippi. It was a territory where pagan gods were worshipped, and it is there that Jesus asks Peter a question about his identity; not in some safe territory, but in a non-believing location. Perhaps that is why Jesus ...read more

    Walk In Faith - Reverence Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Oct 10, 2013
     | 5,661 views

    It's my prayer you will love and respect God today. That you will be filled with His Holy Spirit to live a life of praise. That you will have a song in your heart today for the eternity that God has provided you through Jesus Christ. This is reverence.

    Personally, I don't like the word 'reverance'. You know why? Because when I was a kid to go to an environment where I had to be "reverent" meant I was going to be bored out of my mind. The word was destroyed by my experiences in worship. I hated to be reverent. Because being reverent meant ...read more

    Once prominent in churches. Once prominent in life. Now seldom seen in our buildings. Have they also disappeared from our life? We have been called to live an "Altared" life. Why?

    Altared - Pt. 3 - Pinky Swear I. Introduction For some it was padded. For others it folded down. For some a simple rail.

    "Future Tense"

    Contributed by David Henderson on Sep 21, 2013
     | 4,091 views

    All of us want to know what the future holds for us. But the Bible teaches that we walk by faith, not by sight. The future at times looks very tense, especially if we do not include God in our planning. He must be involved in every detail of life.

    “Future Tense” James 4:13-17 In the film Back to the Future, Michael Fox plays the role of a guy named Marty MacFly who suddenly is thrown back into time 30 years earlier. Because he knows what the future hold for his family he feels compelled to make sure things happen the way they ...read more

    Motivated To Follow Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Nov 2, 2016
     | 9,076 views

    Following his discourse on the obedience of Christ, and an admonition for the believer to possess the mind of Christ, Paul discusses what that looks like in a mature believer. This is humbling, and impossible within ourselves, but possible in Christ.

    Motivated to Follow Philippians 2: 12-18 One of the greatest means of motivation is a great illustration or example. Following the great discourse on the obedience of Christ, having provided the great example for believers to follow, Paul offers a discourse on our obligations to follow the example ...read more

    Conformed To Unity - Philippians 2:1-4 Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 19, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 15,521 views

    With the exception of faithfulness to sound, biblical doctrine, nothing is more essential to the prosperity of the church than unity. In fact, sound doctrine without unity will profit little. When love is present, unity also will be.

    Conformed to Unity Philippians 2: 1-4 As we move into chapter two, we quickly discover these verses are a continuation of the previous passage. Phil.1:27 – Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of ...read more

    Nothing can thwart God's puposes. God accomplishes His purposes through us.

    Power is a test of our character. When we are given the power to do what we want, what we choose to do will reveals WHO we really are. • Whoever leads has great power. And that’s what worries many. • That’s probably what makes the US Presidential election so tense. And ...read more

    Can you see the situation more clearly from God's vantage point? Do you need to take courageous action in the face of insults and fearful circumstances? Do you trust that God will give you victory? Remember, God's opinion is the only one that matters.

    Opening illustration: In July 1947, the British Navy was confronted by a defiant but unarmed ship of Jewish refugees - Holocaust survivors - who were intent on emigrating to colonial Palestine.
