    A sermon about a seismic shift in the Christian Church.

    "You Mean They Can Be Saved Too?" Acts 11:1-18 Acts Chapter 10 and 11 tell a story that is one of the major turning points in Christianity; really it's like a seismic shift!!!!

     | 6,041 views

    INTRO: Raising kids made me realize that much has changed from the time I was a child until the time I became a parent; especially, in the area of child protection. For instance, when I was a child, I’m not sure car seats were even invented yet. Truth is, the first car with seatbelts that I ...read more

    When C. S. Lewis’ wife died, he explained to his friends that the pain of her loss was not localized in one particular area of his life but that it made everything about his life different. You who are members of Sherry’s family know what C. S. Lewis meant, for you too have gone through ...read more

    The Great Commission Of The Church

     | 10,320 views

    The great commission of the church is to spread the Word of God to reach people with the Good News of Christ.

    Prayer- Introduction- We began last week looking at the church of God. I say the church of God because there are churches not asking God for help or following God directions for the church and if you look close at that church, you’ll see that they do not have the anointing and power of God ...read more

    Who Am I

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 15, 2015
     | 7,620 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

     | 17,746 views

    A perspective on the parable Luke 16: 1-13; The parable of the shrewd manager. The story builds up to a bunch-line. What is the punch-line in this parable? It is the focal point for discussion and the opportunity for Jesus to bring healing into your life.

    A Perspective on: The Parable of the Shrewd Manager What is a parable? A parable is a story with the intent of informing the listener something about life. The parables that Jesus spoke compared earthly life to the Kingdom of God and the way to salvation. Many stories throughout the Bible ...read more

     | 15,346 views

    We actually have three stories being told here. Three stories. One parable. One big truth and here it is. Lost things matter to God. God spends a great deal of time looking for his people.

    Confidence Within The Chaos

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jul 26, 2016
     | 14,946 views

    Life is filled with uncertainty. In fact, life can be chaotic at times. It is easy to lose focus and stumble among the chaos. Fortunately, we do not have to succumb to the uncertainties; we can overcome in Christ.

    Confidence within the Chaos John 16: 32-33 We have read a passage from one of my favorite sections of Scripture. Beginning in chapter thirteen, and going through chapter seventeen of John, we find an intimate account of the last hours Jesus spent with His disciples prior to His arrest, trial, and ...read more

    Surrendering Credentials To Christ

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Mar 13, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,004 views

    If we're not careful, we can get caught up in the world's system of polishing that pedigree. Rather, like the Apostle Paul, we need to surrender all to the great goal of knowing more intimately Christ our Lord. Everything else is secondary.

    Philippians 3:4-14 Surrendering Credentials to Christ Any top-blockers here? Any type-A personalities? Any hard chargers who consistently rank in the top percentile? The military is basically an up-or-out system, so it attracts into career service those who are driven to succeed. Many of you are ...read more

    A shocking survey result from a recent Barna demands that we reassess why evangelism is so essential.

    A SHOCKING SURVEY RESULT: In a recent Barna survey, nearly half of practicing Christian millennials said that evangelism is wrong. - Matthew 28:18-20. - After more than 20 years of being a pastor, it’s rare than I read anything that makes me say, “Whoa.” I’ve read too many “debased culture” ...read more
