    based on 1 rating
     | 2,664 views

    A sermon about following Christ and finding life.

    “Not What We Want but What We Need” Matthew 16:21-27 In the words of the late American news commentator Paul Harvey, this morning’s Gospel Lesson is “the rest of the story.” It is a continuation of what we talked about last week. Jesus had asked His disciples: “Who do you say I am?” Peter ...read more

    Compelled To Testify

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Sep 14, 2023
     | 1,025 views

    The love of Christ should compel us to testify on his behalf before the court of the world.

    Lots of people are testifying these days. We’ve got trials in California and New York and Georgia and Washington D.C. Politicians and government officials and even just ordinary people caught up in things are all either pouring their hearts out or nowhere to be found. Some are practically begging ...read more

    Trusting In God's Majesty And Providsion

    Contributed by Jung Lee on Mar 30, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 902 views

    "Standing on a mountaintop at dawn, we're awed by the vastness of God's creation, reminding us of our valued place in His universe. Psalm 8:3-4 reflects on this, urging us to trust in God’s grand design for a fulfilled life."

    Introduction Imagine you're up high on a mountain just as the day starts, with the sky bursting into bright colors like a big, beautiful painting. Moments like this remind us how huge God's world is and how we, even though we might feel tiny, are important to Him. In Psalm 8:3-4, ...read more

    Disappearing Act

    What is the message of the undisturbed grave clothes? (Outline came from here: https://www.sermonnotebook.org/new%20testament/John%2020_1-10.htm; Material adapted from William Nicholson's book "The Six Miracles of Calvary," chapter on the undisturbed grave clothes of Jesus)

     | 1,746 views

    It seems that John has finished writing his gospel. But no! He adds another chapter.

    For the last couple of Sundays we’ve been reading from John 20—the beloved disciple’s dramatic account of Jesus’ resurrection. We’ve stood with Mary Magdalene weeping outside the empty tomb as she mistook the risen Jesus for the gardener. And we’ve been with the disciples in the upper room as they ...read more

    The Rich Young Ruler Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 3, 2023
     | 3,574 views

    When the rich young ruler comes to Jesus, we have a living example before the eyes of the disciples of the contrast. Here is someone willing to pay the price of spiritual discipline, yet someone who could not with childlike faith give his all to Christ.

    What are some of the qualities that our present-day culture put’s value on? Our society values youth. The beauty industry capitalizes on the quest for the eternal youthfulness. They sell skin creams, facial packs, hair color and offer cosmetic surgery. It is all because people value ...read more

     | 1,852 views

    A sermon about putting aside our differences because Jesus is enough.

    “Jesus Is Enough” Matthew 28:16-20 On my first Sunday here, 6 years ago, I sat in my office as some of the first people started to come into the building. And the first Sunday in a new church for a new pastor is stressful. I was nervous. I didn’t know anyone and didn’t know much about this ...read more

    Seeking God In Your Situation

    Contributed by Bishop Prof. Julius Soyinka on Aug 18, 2024
     | 2,754 views

    Many people who claimed to know God and connected to Him, cannot actually trust Him to intervene in their situation when things get bad. It is a great strength for a believer to be able to trust God alone in difficult situations.

    Seeking God in your Situation Study Text: 2 Kings 1: 1 - 4 Introduction: Ahaziah was in a difficult situation, but rather than seeking God for solution, he secretly sends to consult the god of Eckron. Worries and fears of the unknown weakens his trust in God, and went outside the will of God to ...read more

     | 2,686 views

    In the middle of the night, when we can’t figure out what to do, we need to remember that God works the night shift. He’s up all night anyway, why not cast our cares on Him?

    GOD WORKS THE NIGHT SHIFT Ps. 121:3-4 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: MISSING THE POINT 1. A honeymooning couple was passing through Louisiana. 2. As they approached Lafayette, they started arguing about the pronunciation of the town’s name. They argued back and forth until they reached town, where ...read more

    Based on Matthew 1:18-25 - Encouragers hearers to consider the circumstances surrounding Joseph's discovery of Mary's pregnancy & how God was at work in that.

    “…IN LIFE’S CIRCUMSTANCES” Matt. 1:18-25 FBCF – 12/11/22 Jon Daniels INTRO – Saw a sign for a lost dog that read: “LOST DOG: 3 legs, blind in one eye, missing right ear, tail broken, recently castrated – answers to the name, ‘LUCKY.’” Ever feel that way sometimes?

    Sermon # 1 - God's Bountiful Heart Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 22, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,523 views

    What is the secret to a life of overflowing abundance? There’s much we can learn from the life of David and Abraham. God can bless abundantly if only we can follow certain principles, and let go of thoughts and attitudes that displease God.

    We read in 2 Corinthians 9:8, “Besides, God is able to make every blessing of yours overflow for you, so that in every situation you will always have all you need for any good work.” (ISV) This is Paul’s words to the church at Corinth and he wished them that they would be full and overflowing with ...read more

    The Way Of The Cross

    Contributed by Dawn Duryea on Mar 4, 2024
     | 1,007 views

    In today’s Gospel reading, Peter responds to Jesus’ announcement that the Messiah will have to suffer and die by denying the cross. Peter is in essence denying the truth of this teaching – that the Messiah must suffer and by extension, his disciples.

    Last week we heard about Jesus being tempted in the wilderness right after his Baptism. That’s the way it feels sometimes – you just make a decision and then things happen that immediately bring your decision into question. This wilderness, of course, is metaphorical and now we find ourselves in ...read more

    Unreasonably Reasonable

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 18, 2025
     | 54 views

    Our rational age has lost its reason; only faith reunites logic and love, restoring truth, humility, and genuine freedom.

    Introduction – The Smartest Dumb Thing We’ve Ever Done I was sitting in a campus café a few months ago when I overheard a group of students arguing over whether coffee is technically a fruit juice. It started as a joke, but within five minutes one had pulled up research on the coffee cherry, ...read more
