    Any ability or talent or appearance or power or fame we receive is entirely derivative-an expression of His goodness imputed to us for a short while. Satan wanted worship for himself. Saints seek to bring worship to their God.

    And around the throne, twenty four thrones, and on the thrones twenty four elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and on their heads, golden crowns (of victory) And out of the throne came lightnings and voices and thunders, and seven fiery lamps burning before the throne, which are the seven ...read more

    Today’s sermon is about Jesus calling four fishermen to follow him. We can find this story also in Mark 1:16-20.

    Jesus advised Peter and Andrew to leave their fishing business and become “fishers of men.” That means they were to help other people to find God. Jesus was calling them from their useful business to be spiritually useful. How many of us have heard the call and answered? We as a whole need to be ...read more

    We Believe In The Second Coming Series

     | 3,392 views

    If the Bible were not to teach the Second Coming of Christ, then you would be left with a potentially endless cycle where things would simply go round and round. Your view of the end of time can have a profound effect on how you live your life in the present.

    We conclude this sermon series entitled Creed by examining the Bible’s teaching of the Second Coming of Jesus. If you were to travel to Rome to see Michelangelo’s fresco in the Sistine Chapel of the Vatican City, you would no doubt gaze at the iconic and best-known picture of the Sistine Chapel – ...read more

    The disciples had allowed themselves to become so distracted that they missed the message Jesus was trying to give to them. Sometimes we allow the same thing to happen in our lives.

    According to the president of the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety 1.2 million crashes a year are caused by driver distractions. Of course we all know that with the way cell phones have taken over in our society that cell phones are definitely a distraction for many drivers. But to my surprise ...read more

    An old church building needed remodeling, so during his sermon the minister made an impassioned plea and looked directly at the richest man in town. At the end of the sermon, the rich man stood up and said, “Pastor, I will contribute $1,000.00” Just then plaster fell from the ceiling ...read more

    This message looks at the healing of the paralytic and asks why we settle for less than God's best when we ask from God. It then looks at four examples of how we do similar things today.

    - We want to begin with something that stands out early in the story: the fact that they obviously come for physical healing, but Jesus responds to the man by saying that his sins are forgiven. - Why would Jesus do that? Was He unaware of what they’d come for? (Obviously not.) Was He ...read more

    Fear overwhelmed the disciples after Jesus died. They locked all the doors where they were together because of fear.

    On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Fear overwhelmed the disciples after Jesus died.

    Reformation Day: In spite of our ’short memories’ God continually reminds us of his love. He points to Jesus time and again to remind us of the salvation He won for us through his Cross and Resurrection.

    The disciples had the question of who was the greatest among them on their minds, but Jesus had something entirely different on His mind. He was thinking of the one that would BETRAY HIM! One of the most painful experiences in life is to be betrayed by someone we love. • We all know the ...read more

    Short all-age talk for 2009 Christmas Eve services. Many people come from our community. Talk uses an illustration of how I as an earthly Dad might write a book for my children to get to know me better. God has given us a book, but also given us Jesus.
