    Heaven Came Down/ Christmas Eve Service Series

    Contributed by Anthony Zibolski on Feb 15, 2019
     | 3,815 views

    Can we stop for a moment to imagine the excitement of heaven as Jesus comes to begin His redemption of mankind on earth. That God would send His Son Jesus is mind blowing.

    Heaven came down Yesterday, we read the Christmas story as recorded in Luke 2 as part of the service. I spoke of God’s love for “all people”. That God would send His Son Jesus to redeem mankind. (God’s love blows my mind) We saw God’s love was unconditionally for all and God’s love does not go by ...read more

    Slipping Down The Lifeline – But Not To The End (We Hope) Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 17, 2022
     | 2,328 views

    There is the lifeline that connects our communion with the Lord but we can slip and fail, and so we slip down that lifeline of communion. Many of the great men of God failed but were wonderfully restored in the comfort of God. What can we lose as we slip? How do we return?

    SLIPPING DOWN THE LIFELINE – BUT NOT TO THE END (we hope) Tales are told of people in rescue attempts trying to hold on to a rope in the stormy sea or raging river and over time their grip lessens and through fatigue they slip further and further down the rescue rope until they disappear. That ...read more

    The Pride Of Thine Heart Will Bring Thee Down

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 4, 2022
     | 1,329 views

    Edom was proud of its accomplishments, but in the long run, God would bring her down. Whether they are a nation, a business, a church, or a family, those in positions of authority should not be overly self-assured.

    Obadiah is the shortest book of the Bible. It is titled The Vision of Obadiah as it prophesies the judgment to fall on the nation of Edom. The Edomites were descendants of Esau which made them related to the children of Israel (Genesis 25:19-27:45). Because of Edom's defiance of God, their ...read more

    Acts 17:1-15 teaches us what characterizes people who turn the world upside down.

    Introduction Years ago, I saw an advertisement for the “perfect” pastor. Here is what it said: • The perfect pastor preaches exactly 10 minutes. • He condemns sin roundly but never hurts anyone's feelings. • He works from 8 AM until midnight and is also the church janitor. • ...read more

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 2, 2024
     | 205 views

    The world turned upside down. Over and over again did this drama repeat.

    Friday of the First Week of Advent 2024 G. K. Chesterton was fond of writing how history seems to turn the plans of humans upside down and backwards. He tells the story of Constantine summoning the bishops to judge the teachings of Arius, in the year 325. The priest Arius taught that Jesus is Son ...read more

    7. Joseph - Let Down And Lifted Up Series

    Contributed by Bob Marcaurelle on Aug 14, 2023
     | 1,705 views

    Joseph was let down by his family, by a woman he would not be tempted by and by a man he helped. He may have been tempted to see all this as being let down by God, but he didn't. He remained faithful and God raised him up and raised the nation that gave Jesus to you and me.

    From Adam to Malachi Sermon 7 7. JOSEPH- LET DOWN AND LIFTED UP For two long days and nights the eyes and prayers of America turned toward Midland, Texas, where little Jessica McClure lay deep in a well. More than 2,500 years ago, around 1700 B.C., another person found himself deep in a well. ...read more

    "When ‘bad Luck’ Knocks Us Down” Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 4, 2023
     | 1,836 views

    The story of Joseph being sold into slavery provides a compelling example of moments when it seems like "bad luck" has come our way when God may be up to something else.

    WHY DID THAT HAPPEN? There are moments when we feel like bad luck knocked us down. - We will get into the specifics that this passage details as we go through the sermon, but this is obviously a passage with some “just-so-happened” moments. - To use the common vernacular, someone might say, “Oh, ...read more

    What I love about God is “God has editing rights over our prayers. He will hear them, and then he will edit them, correct them, bring them in line with His will and then hand them back to us to be resubmitted.

    The world is full of people just like the ones that we just read about. Of the names we just read they were probably good people, upstanding citizens, and probably great to hang out with. However, we probably would never even have read their names, if it hadn’t been for Jabez and his memorable ...read more
