     | 1,467 views

    We spend 2.5 days a year looking for lost items like the TV remote. The prophet Isaiah helps us see what important daily quest we should undertake.

    According to a 2017 survey by Pixie, a company that furnishes technology to locate lost items, Americans spend the equivalent of 2.5 days a year looking for misplaced items. What do you suppose the most misplaced item is? No, not phones or keys. It’s the TV remote. Apparently more than 70% of us ...read more

    The Prodigal's father is a picture of how God “sees us,” reaches out to us, & restores our rights as children of God. He gave him the ring of sonship, the sandals of redemption, the robe of righteousness, & the fatted calf (eternal blessings).

    “WHILE HE WAS A GREAT WAY OFF...” Luke 15:20-24 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. There’s a story told of a husband and wife who were both doctors – one a doctor of theology and the other a doctor of medicine.

    A Transfiguration Sunday Sermon on listening to Jesus.

    “Are We Listening?” Luke 9:28-36 “Are you listening?” a mother asks her child.

So, she says, “Timmy, were you ...read more

     | 3,630 views

    Many of the most attractive offers are just too good to be true.

    We are bombarded by advertisements, commercials and infomercials. They come by way of mail, newspapers, text messages, email, radio and television. We’ve all heard some pretty fantastic claims made for everything from capsules for memory enhancement, to weight loss drinks, to antiwrinkle cream. ...read more

    In His Time

    Contributed by Joe Mack Cherry on Dec 10, 2023
     | 823 views

    Bringing someone to Christ requires patience, love, and prayer. How we approach them with the gospel can either encourage them or turn them off completely. We have to give God and His Spirit the chance to work in people.

    “Conversion In His Time” by Joe Mack Cherry I. Preface – Bringing Others to Christ A. We are all called to bring others to Christ! 1. We are commanded to teach and admonish others. a. Mk 16:15 – “preach the gospel to all creatures.” b. Mat 28:19-20 – “go ye into world and make disciples of all ...read more

    Buried With Him, Raised With Him (Baptism Of The Lord, January 8, 2023)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Feb 4, 2023
     | 1,189 views

    We always associate a hearse with death. What about baptism? How do we look at baptism? Doesn’t baptism represent death to an old way of life and the beginning of new life as a new creature in Christ? Paul said it did!

    BURIED WITH HIM, RAISED WITH HIM Text: Romans 6:1 – 6, 13 - 14 Romans 6:1-6  What then are we to say? Should we continue in sin in order that grace may abound?  (2)  By no means! How can we who died to sin go on living in it?  (3)  Do you not know that all of us who have ...read more

    God calls us to reflection in times like these. Consider Ecclesiastes 7:14, “In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider: God has made the one as well as the other, so that man may not find out anything that will be after him.”

    Sermon – Hope in The Day of Adversity Introduction - The coronavirus, civil unrest and violence, looming national and personal debt, strained family relationships, and corruption within political parties have provoked a rising tide of fear and an increasing sense of vulnerability in the peoples of ...read more

    Peter’s words to slaves in the first century are relevant to our world in the twenty-first.

    I suspect that a number of you have heard the old story of the young man who was desperately seeking God’s guidance for some crucial issue in his life.

    Sermon # 1 - God Of Truth And Love Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 20, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 586 views

    In a world that thrives on lies, we believe in a God of truth who admonishes us to think on things that are true and to implement these in our lives. Only with the Lord Jesus is there true forgiveness for our sins, reconciliation and acceptance.

    We read in Philippians 4:8, “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” (ESV) God has graciously gifted to ...read more

    AND SAMSON SAID UNTO THE LAD, Judges 16:26 The day the temple of Dagon fell and crushed the mighty strong man Samson, closed the book on his life. No longer would he do anymore-great deeds for the Lord. Anything that he was going to do would forever go undone. There is, however, another sad ...read more

    Friends, the great equalizer in all of our lives is our desperate need for God's grace, mercy and forgiveness.

    Friends, the great equalizer in all of our lives is our desperate need for God's grace, mercy and forgiveness. If someone forgives you a $100 debt, that means they have to cover that debt with $100 of their own money. I want you to keep that in mind as we go along. We are going to look at ...read more

    As we are starting into 2026, today I want to ask a simple question, well a couple.

    Good morning, church family! Today, we're going to dive into a topic that touches each and every one of us – failure. We all mess up, stumble, and fall short. It's a part of being human.
