Scriptures: Second Timothy 1:7; Luke 12:22-32; First John 4:18 The title of my message this morning is “Why Are We Afraid?” This past week a man was charged with murder after he allegedly shot and killed a young woman who was in a car that mistakenly pulled into his driveway ...read more

    I read an article by Shane Pruitt titled, “Nine unbiblical statements Christians believe”. Today I'll share some of those. Although they're not biblical they do hold some elements of truth so it’s important for us to gain clarity on these statements.

    “IS THAT IN THE BIBLE?” INTRODUCTION: I came across an article by Shane Pruitt titled, “Nine unbiblical statements Christians believe”. I decided to take some of these and present them to you today. It’s important for us to gain clarity on these statements not only ...read more

    I used this sermon for our Friend Day, when we expected to have many visitors. I want to express my appreciation to Alan Smith a Sermon Central contributor. I relied heavily on his sermon "Faith That Doesn’t Have to Touch."

    Introduction: A. Don’t you just love the innocence of children? 1. Art Linkletter had a popular TV show for more than 20 years. One favorite feature of his show was a segment called “Kids Say the Darndest Things” in which he interviewed children. 2. Children often say the ...read more

    The very reason we gather is in response to the Divine call of God and His purposes. The problem is that the ideas we associate with “church” can come to mean so much less.

    Why are you here? That’s the question I want to begin with today. We might naturally divide that question as to whether it refers to being here in terms of existing… or being here in this gathering. I’m referring to BOTH our purpose for being here in terms of existing… as well as being ...read more

    Disobedience is an issue of misplaced trust and miguided "truth". Obedience is a matter of the heart and flows from a heart of trust and love. Build your trust in God and grow your love for God.

    Why do we disobey? Have you thought about that? • Think for a moment the last time you disobeyed someone, your parents, your superior. Why did you do that? What causes it? • It couldn’t be nothing. There is always something that triggers our disobedience. God has given clear ...read more
