    Contributed by Steve Smith on Oct 14, 2008

     | 5,685 views

    A reminder to the family of God that as God’s elect, God has provided His provisions for survival. 4 Supplies for survival: A Living Hope, An Invaluable Inheritance, A Precious Faith, and An Inexpressible Joy. Provisions to carry us through life’s tria

    Introduction I profess that I DO NOT like to watch the TV show, “Survivor”. I admit the concept, though with I’m sure some exaggerations, is pretty cool! It seems as 16 people are dumped out in the middle of nowhere with no food or water and have to figure out a way to survive on their own. But ...read more

    On That Great Gettin' Up Morning

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 26, 2009
     | 9,839 views

    For Remembrance Sunday: getting past grief means crying out honestly and insistently for help, and it means having confidence in the God who raised Christ from the dead and thus defeated death itself.

    The hymns we have sung and the Scriptures we have read have one important word that is common to all of them. That word is "morning". "Morning", as in "good morning". "Morning" is an important Biblical image. I am leading us to worship around the symbol of morning today because I want us to use it ...read more

The contrast: If you don’t beat the lust and porn addiction: You lose true manhood, the abundant life, freedom, fulfillment, your reputation, confidence, ...read more

    Can You Be A Christian Without Being Religious? Series

    Contributed by Dr. George Calhoun on Oct 30, 2008
    based on 10 ratings
     | 12,844 views

    Christianity differs from all religions in that it’s not about us finding God, but about us responding to God who has been reaching out to us.

    Can you be a Christian without being religious? It almost sounds like a contradiction in terms. However, according to Webster, a religion is a system of faith and worship... Christianity is certainly that! According to Webster, a religion is the service to and the adoration of God expressed in ...read more

    This sermon is a relentless drum beat of negativity concerning America’s political predicament with a brief flicker of hope at the end. Theme: Demigods disappoint and enslave.

    In the early days of our Republic pastors would set aside the Sunday before election day to preach a sermon about the coming vote. In those days they would name names and tell the congregation who to vote for. Now, thanks to a 1954 law, churches can no longer speak out in the same way. If they ...read more

    This is part V in the series - 24. It is a first person narrative account from the perspective of the centurion at the cross. WARNING: It is graphic! The preaching idea: the evidence has been presented. What will you do with it?

    “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” Ultimately, that’s what the final 24 hours in Jesus’ life are about – God’s plan to redeem us to buy us back.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,678 views

    This series looked at the cross from the OT point of view. Psalm 22 is a perfect prophecy of what would happen to Jesus on the cross. His forsakeness is our assurance we will never be rejected.

    PSALM OF THE FORSAKEN Anyone who reads Psalm 22 can easily see Jesus written all over it and in it. This Psalm is often called the Psalm of Jesus or even the fifth Gospel. It is probably the most amazing of all the Psalms in that we have such a clear picture of the crucifixion of Jesus. And David ...read more

    Samson was reckless. He became arrogant in his self pursuits always assuming that God would bless him because he was special. He virtually abandoned his spiritual life over the course of 20 years then was shocked that God was gone. In the end, he lost

    Last week we learned that Samson was special. Even before he was born God had put a call on his life and all Samson had to do was walk into his calling. His calling was clear, God wanted to use Samson to move the Israelites out of their complacency because they were losing their identity. They ...read more
