    Out Of Control

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 31, 2023
     | 1,191 views

    Happy are we whose God is the maker of Heaven and Earth, because we do not have to bribe him to take care of us.

    Pete and Laura had been married 12 years, 7 months and 13 days when Pete told Laura he wanted a sex change operation. He told her that he had always felt that he was really a woman trapped in a man’s body, and that he could no longer go on living as a man. Laura couldn’t understand. How could she? ...read more

    "A Light That Shatters The Darkness”

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Aug 17, 2023
     | 1,369 views

    I don’t think I have ever seen a stained glass window of Jesus laughing. Did He laugh when Jonah landed on the beach smelling like whale breath? When the wedding party tasted the best wine ever, did He smile? In his discussion with a Canaanite woman is He smiling through the words?

    In Jesus Holy Name August 20, 2023 Text: Matthew 15:28/Isaiah 9:1b-2 Pentecost XV - Redeemer “A Light That Shatters the Darkness” I have seen many beautiful stained glass windows displaying various aspects of the life of Jesus. But I don’t think I have ever seen a stained glass ...read more

    Walking By Faith Part 2: Faith That Overcomes Series

    Contributed by Dwight Davis on Aug 18, 2023
     | 1,522 views

    How can true, Biblical faith help us, to not only "survive" this life in a sin-saturated world, but to thrive?

    Faith that Overcomes One of the points I tried to make especially clear in part one of this message is that the enemy of our souls is trying his best to persuade us to neglect or even abandon our faith in God. And, unfortunately, he’s been quite successful—especially so in the last decade or so. ...read more

    What Is Truth?

    Contributed by Dwight Davis on Aug 18, 2023
     | 2,689 views

    Wow. Has our society today lost hold on absolute truth or what? I shudder to think how blurred the line between right and wrong, good and evil, righteous and unrighteous will be five years from now! This message attempts to bring some clarity to that all-important question; what is truth?

    What Is Truth? You and I live in a world that has almost totally rejected the existence of absolute truth. The current pervading mindset today seems to be that everyone has their own truth, and that everyone else must affirm them in whatever truth they claim to have—despite how ridiculous it may ...read more

    Do As God Wishes Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Aug 25, 2023
     | 1,678 views

    Paul challenges the believers at Thessalonica to do three things as a mark of Christ's followers. Rejoice always, Pray continually and praise God without ceasing. He reveals that this is the will of God. Hard core values of true identity of Christians. Hard to follow. Try it.

    Theme: Do as he Wishes Text: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Greetings: The Lord is good and His love endures forever! Compare the Translations: 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus”. (NIV). “16 Celebrate always, 17 ...read more

    The Filter: Rose Colored Glasses.

    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Aug 30, 2023
     | 1,106 views

    We often allow our thinking patterns, words and behavior to dictate our moods and emotions. We need an honest evaluation of our paradigms and patterns.

    THE FILTER: ROSE COLORED GLASSES, WE NEED A PARADIGM SHIFT… By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (YouTube: Wade Hughes) I have several different pairs of glasses. I really focus on one pair. A rose colored pair of glasses makes everything appear rosy. Everything you see will ...read more

    Gethsemane Series

    Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Sep 1, 2023
     | 1,294 views

    The cross wasn’t a tragic mistake. It didn’t “happen” to Jesus. He wasn’t a victim of circumstance. Jesus died because He deliberately chose to lay down His life – and he made that choice at Gethsemane. The war was not over, but the battle was won at Gethsemane.

    September 02, 2023 Today we are going to conclude the Gospels section of our series with Gethsemane. The Passover meal was over. Judas had left the group to make arrangements for the betrayal of Jesus. Now as the little party made their way to the Mount of Olives, Jesus made a startling ...read more

    Jesus wants to be loved for the right reasons.

    I expect most of you know that fear of commitment is endemic in today’s society. It's not surprising. I expect many if not most of us have experienced - or at least witnessed - bad relationships or are the children of divorce ourselves. If you've gotten burnt, you're more than a little ...read more

    Breaking The Silence (Advent 2 2023)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Dec 8, 2023
     | 1,584 views

    All four of the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John speak of the ministry of the John the Baptizer who is the messenger who prepares the way for Jesus. A second reason that John’s arrival is such a big deal is because there had not been any prophets for 400 years.

    BREAKING THE SILENCE Text: Mark 1:1 - 8 Mark 1:1-11 The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. (2) As it is written in the prophet Isaiah, "See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way; (3) the voice of one crying out in the wilderness: ...read more

    What Prayer Isn't

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Dec 11, 2023
     | 1,623 views

    Even though we pray, we may wonder at times: “Why do I pray? What does it accomplish?” Along the way, we may pick up some misperceptions. I want to talk about what prayer isn’t.

    The widow of the parable was pretty frustrated. In the Army, if soldiers feel they’ve been treated unfairly, they have several options: They can use their chain-of-command, see the Chaplain, contact Equal Opportunity, call the Inspector General’s office, or even write their Senator.

    If I’ve Received Salvation, Why Do I Still Struggle? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 18, 2023
     | 1,662 views

    Romans 7 delves into the struggles we as Christians experience in this world: wanting to follow God yet often caught up in our sin nature. What does Paul teach us about how we are to look at that reality?

    DEAD MAN WALKING: Dying with Christ is important because it means we’ve been freed. - Romans 7:1-4a. - Chapter 7 obviously flows from chapter 6. Last week in chapter 6 the big ideas we talked about were the (a) we are dead to sin and alive to Christ and (b) that we have to choose if we are going ...read more
