Where One Life Ends And Another Begins Series

Contributed by Tim Smith on May 12, 2014

the cross is not just a symbol we look to or place our faith in, it is also a way of life for those who choose to follow Jesus. The word crux is defined as, “a vital, basic or pivotal point.” It’s the moment when everything changes,

Where One Life Ends and Another Begins Mark 8:34-38 Lent is a season of preparation and reflection on our lives of following Jesus but more than anything, it is a journey to the cross. In the time of Jesus, the word for cross in Latin was, “crux” and was the ultimate symbol of shame ...read more

The Poor Widow's Offering Series

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Aug 3, 2015

Today we’ll learn a significant lesson from a seemingly insignificant person. If not for Jesus pointing her out, the act of the poor widow would’ve escaped everyone’s notice and the opportunity to learn a valuable lesson would’ve been lost.

What We Know

Contributed by Keith Broyles on Oct 7, 2014

Everything God does points to God’s love for us though truly God needed to do nothing more than give us the Son. Above all else, that proves God’s love for us. Above all else, it is what we know.

It will be sixteen years ago this summer. Cindy, Wayne, Christopher and I took an adventure of a lifetime as we, along with my nephew and a friend of Wayne’s went tubing down the Guadalupe River. It may not seem like an adventure of a lifetime to you, many people go tubing down many rivers, ...read more

Jesus’ Birthday Party: Christmas Charades

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 23, 2011

This is the outline for my all-age Christmas Day talk 2011. It is based around a game of charades where people will act out 5 Bible verses which will act as a short 5 point sermon. Great fun, especially if the actor has a picture or prop they can use to h

Matthew 1: 18-25 tells us about the world shaking birth of Jesus the Messiah; but what I want to do is put the birth of Jesus into context using a party game; and this year we’re going to play charades, so I need some willing volunteers.

Nicodemus Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Dec 29, 2021

Nicodemus Is one of those interesting and important people we meet in the Bible. Jesus met with him and told him that he must be born again. However, He could not understand how someone could enter again into their mothers womb. He missed Jesus' point completely.

Note: form will not accept Scripture ref. (John 3:3) and topics (Nic. meets secretely with Jesus) (Nic. defends Jesus) Nicodemus— Who was Nicodemus in the Bible? All that we know about Nicodemus in the Bible is from the Gospel of John. In John 3:1 , he is described as a Pharisee. The ...read more

The Prophet And The Prostitute Series

Contributed by Matt Black on Oct 18, 2019

Why would God ask a prophet to marry a prostitute? What a shocking love story that ultimately points to the greatest love story in God’s Son laying down his life on the cross for an unworthy and unfaithful bride. In the symbolism of Hosea, God is the Prophet and we are the prostitute. What grace!

OUTLINE 1. GOD’S LOVE IS UNDESERVING (1:1-3a). 2. GOD’S LOVE IS URGENTLY NEEDED (1:3b-9). 3. GOD’S LOVE IS UNRELENTING (1:10-2:1). Do you remember when you were a child? When children are small they run to their mother’s arms. We have little children all around here. Those arms of mama and ...read more

Faith And The Iron Chariots

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Jun 4, 2021

We often believe that God can help us, but only up to a certain point. This belief conceals a measure of self-trust. If Judah had demonstrated the same faith about the chariots of iron as about the mountaineers, the chariots of iron would have been no better than chariots of straw.

Judges 1:19 - So the LORD was with Judah. And they drove out the mountaineers, but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the lowland, because they had chariots of iron. Background: Joshua had divided the inheritance among the children of Israel. However, there were still lands to be ...read more

Message 16 - 1 Thessalonians Chapter 5:21 – Examine Carefully And Hold Fast To What Is Good – No Excuses! Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 7, 2023

We live in a world today where all the boundaries have been blurred and are increasingly, becoming blurred. We have no fixed point for marriage, no correct lines for morality, no division of good or bad in gender or behaviour or attitudes. We examine what GOOD is. Do good to all.

The Erosion Of The Foundations Vs Trusting God

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jan 2, 2021

We are surely walking in the last days as we see mass media and public opinion sway to the point of eroding the very foundations of truth on which our faith and trust have have stood. We need the light of many candles to expose the evil plan birthed in fear and worry.

The Battle Of Depression

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Nov 4, 2022

All of us at some point have dealt with depression. How do we overcome it? How do we defeat it? Today, we'll look at Asaph's account battling depression and trouble in Psalms 77. And more importantly, how to overcome.

Introduction When you review the great names and personalities of the Scriptures, you become aware very quickly that almost all of them knew, at one time or another, great discouragement and deep depression. Job is singled out as a man of God. Blameless and upright, whose staggering losses and ...read more

What Is A Real Christian?

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 30, 2021

With cultural Christianity being the norm in America, nominal faith is what people see most often, and it’s what comes to mind when we tell people we’re a Christian. So, what is a "real" Christian? This message points out five traits.

I wish to begin our message this morning by sharing a story by Franklin Graham. He tells us, “Some years ago, I was in a cab when I asked the driver about his faith. He replied that he was a Christian, and I asked him how he became one. I’ll never forget his reply: ‘Oh, I was born a Christian’.” ...read more
