    We are taught to cover up. We use Tide Sticks, plastic surgery, and White-Out. However, God always seems to call our dirt into the light! This revealing series challenges us to expose the filth in our lives.

    “Dirt” Part 1 – Pride and Greed I. Introduction We are taught to hide dirt. It begins innocently enough. Haven’t you pushed stuff in the closet or under the bed when guests are coming over? Haven’t you dusted around the vase rather than move it? Have you ever only ironed the front of the ...read more

    Much of life is temporary, perishable, unsatisfying, and mundane. What we will dig into in these weeks as we focus on the Book of Ecclesiastes is how to live wisely when life is pretty much unsatisfying.

    Jesus is no mirage, and His resurrection proves it. Jesus gives us the living water of life. He is the oasis that replaces the mirages of this world. Therefore, let's quit falling for the fake, and start living the truth of God through Christ Jesus our Lord.

    Christ is No Mirage Isaiah 35:7 Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQefljIpico If I could put a subtitle to today’s message, it would be, “The World’s Mirage verses The Reality of Christ.” As this new year began, the Lord pointed me to present a two-part message revealing how the Cities of ...read more

    There are serious consequences for breaking the third commandment and taking God’s name in vain. Why are we held guilty if we take His name in vain? What acts do we commit that amount to taking His name in vain?

    Exodus 20:1–2 says, “And God spoke all these words, saying:” We need to take note that what follows is the beginning of the Ten Commandments spoken by the voice of the Lord. This is His preamble to the constitution of grace. “I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of ...read more

    Labor Day: Work was ordained by God in the beginning and was intended to give us a level of satisfaction and purpose. This topical message looks at some prominent Bible passages on work to see how work is a blessing.

    I wish to begin with an illustration: “On one occasion, Thomas Edison came home very exhausted from an extended season of work.

    The sermon urges us to approach God with reverence, listen before speaking, and honor our promises, trusting that God shapes the world through prayerful hearts.

    There’s a hush that falls on the heart when we remember who God is. The ancient preacher of Ecclesiastes takes us by the hand and leads us into that hush. He knows about rushed mornings and restless nights. He knows about hurried hands and harried hearts. And he whispers a needed word to weary ...read more
