    Sermon # 8 - The Blessing Of Selfless Giving Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 28, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,285 views

    We live in a world that prompts us to be self-centered and individualistic. What does God expect of us? This sermon will teach us about giving the way that is pleasing to God.

    We read in Acts 4:32, “Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common.” (ESV) One of the key reasons for the tremendous growth of the early church was that the people ...read more

    We Are Made Righteous By Faith (Second Sunday Of Lent, March 5, 2023)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 3, 2023

    How would you like to take a test that had a different rule for success? Instead of so many points for an “A”, so many for a “B” and so on, the success of the test would be based on an “all or nothing rule”. So you would have to get a 100% to pass on every test every single day.

    WE ARE MADE RIGHTEOUS BY FAITH Text: Romans 4:1-5, 13-17 Romans 4:1-5  What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter?  (2)  If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God. ...read more

    Sermon # 10 - The Things God Detests Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Apr 2, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,032 views

    There are certain pagan practices that God detests, and we are cautioned to not dabble with them. Our protection comes from God alone, and we must be watchful so that we are not deceived by Satan’s cunning ploys.

    The incident that we are studying in detail is from Numbers Chapter 23. As the people of Israel progressed towards the Promised Land, the King of Moab out of fear and envy wanted to curse the Israelites, and thereby hoped that he could hinder their advancements. He bribed the Prophet Balaam, and ...read more

    Heaping Hot Coals

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 20, 2025
     | 131 views

    True victory over evil comes when love ignites forgiveness, turning hatred’s ashes into grace that glows with heaven’s healing fire.

    Introduction – The Heat That Heals There’s something strangely satisfying about fire, isn’t there? We gather around it on cold nights. We cook over it. We watch the embers glow and the sparks fly upward like prayers rising to the heavens. Fire can warm, purify, or destroy—depending on how it’s ...read more

After that Paul starts with the most basic unit that God formed as ...read more

    The Pentecost Effect – The Gospel Is For All

     | 1,066 views

    Now the movement spreads into the Gentile arena. Did Jesus really mean take the gospel to the ends of the earth? Is it really for everybody? Including the porkchop eating, uncircumcised Gentiles? The invading Romans? Everybody? All means all.

    Sermon -The Pentecost Effect – The Gospel is For All Scripture - Acts 11:1-18 “Soon the news reached the apostles and other believers in Judea that the Gentiles had received the word of God. But when Peter arrived back in Jerusalem, the Jewish believers criticized him. “You entered the home of ...read more

    Our words and deeds should not mimic the world’s futile search for significance but should instead reflect a passion for God so strong and divinely initiated that our good deeds point to the sinless One who holds the keys to both death and life.

    Before Jesus' betrayal by Judas, He instructed the disciples, and explained that the Holy Spirit would be given, and that would bring peace with the Father.

    The Coming of the Spirit Text: John 14:16-31 So if you remember from last time, Jesus has told His disciples that He was going away. He was going to go away and prepare a place for them, and that He would return later and they would all be together again… He also told them that while He was away, ...read more

    What Would Make Heaven Hell?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 26, 2025
     | 175 views

    Heaven is joy only for hearts transformed by Jesus. Without holiness, God’s presence becomes torment. Christ alone gives us a heart fit for heaven.

    Heaven. The word alone sounds like comfort. Endless peace. Reunions. Rest. Joy without sorrow. Life without loss. Every funeral reminds us of it. Every aching heart hopes for it. If you asked the average person today what they believe about eternity, most would say something like, “Oh, sure, I ...read more
