How Can I Tell If I'm Becoming Yoked With The World?

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 18, 2016

Last week I preached on 2nd Cor. 6 where Paul talks about not being yoked with unbelievers. But how can we know if that’s happening to us? In order to find out if we are heading in that dangerous direction we need to ask ourselves some key questions.

HOW CAN I TELL IF I’M BECOMING YOKED WITH THE WORLD? INTRODUCTION: Last week I preached on 2nd Cor. 6 where Paul talks about not being yoked with unbelievers. But how can we know if that’s happening to us? Oftentimes it’s not easy to tell. Satan is tricky; he’s subtle. It ...read more

Contend For The Faith

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Sep 17, 2018

A couple of weeks ago I talked about the command to go and make disciples. Then last Sunday I talked about sharing the right gospel message. Today, I'll be talking about some practical things we can do and what we're up against as we contend for the faith.

CONTEND FOR THE FAITH 1) Contend for the faith. Jude 1:3, "Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt I had to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints." To contend means to put yourself ...read more

Friday - The Innocent One Is Condemned, Crucified, And Buried Series

Contributed by David Owens on Apr 4, 2022

On that Friday, of the last week of Jesus' earthly life, He was condemned, crucified, and buried. God's amazing plan for redemption and God's great love for us was on display through the awful events of that day. To follow Jesus requires that we pick up the cross daily and follow Him.

A. “I stand before the cross and wonder. I stand before the cross and fear. I kneel before the cross and weep. I pray before the cross and rejoice. To know the cross is to know Christ. To feel the cross is to feel Christ. To gaze at the cross is to gaze at Christ. To carry the cross is ...read more

Resting In Jesus

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Nov 13, 2023

Did you read something new in God’s Word? Familiar with new eyes? Something you didn’t understand and reach out to someone help you understand? It’s been several weeks since we have played Scriptural Gymnastics, so I figured we are due!

Today’s key verse found in Matthew 11:28-30, and we’ll get there eventually! The title of today’s message is RESTING IN JESUS. We first see the English word rest in Genesis 2:2: • And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which ...read more

That's Good! (Part Two)

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Dec 3, 2018

Last week I talked about how God is good but we are not. But we can be declared good through Christ. If we have been born again there are some things we need to be doing. We need to discern what is good and then we need to do what we know is good.

Recap: Last week I talked about how God is good but we are not. Most people think they are good but that's because they're using the wrong standard of measurement. Rick Warren writes, "Goodness can only be measured by God. God is the standard of goodness. If we compare ourselves to ...read more

A Fresh Start (Part Two)

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 14, 2019

Last week I talked about how we may need a fresh start. But it's not so easy. We may have a hard time making the changes that are necessary for a fresh start. But sometimes, we may not need a total fresh start, we may just need a restart.

A FRESH START (part two) Last week I talked about how we may need a fresh start for various reasons-relationship problems, job loss, trouble with the law, etc. So, we change locations, find a new job, start getting connected with new people, etc. Obviously the best fresh start we can make is ...read more

Place, Peace, And Presence Matter

Contributed by David Zachrich on Apr 2, 2024

Let’s start at an obvious place for the week after Easter. The baskets are empty, the colored grass has been vacuumed up. Beautiful cards have been put away. Nice clothes are back in the closet. All that is left are a few jelly beans that no one wants to trust. Easter is over … or, is it?

Thanksgiving Vs Thanksliving

Contributed by Danny Anderson on Oct 27, 2006

God not only deserves our thanks, but I believe He also desires it. He wants us to be grateful for His goodness rather than just take it all for granted. How many of you took time out this past week just to re-count your blessings and thank God for everyt

Thanksgiving Versus Thanksliving Text: I Thessalonians 5:18 Introduction: I believe Scripture substantiates the fact that God expects us to thank Him for His blessings in our lives.
