Believing Is Seeing Series

Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Jan 13, 2020

This is our 29th sermon on a series from the Gospel of John. In this sermon we look at how Jesus healed the blind man, and both the progression of faith, and the progression of apostasy.

Star Gazers Or Earth Shakers?

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 9, 2020

The building shook, the overhead lights swung back & forth. In true California style, they never ...read more

"Let’s Be The Body” Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Feb 12, 2018

We are to be Christ at work in the world today.

In Acts 10:38, Peter described the life of Jesus by saying, “He went about doing good . . .” If one described the life of too many Christians today, however, he would have to say, “He simply went about!” This isn’t as it should be, for the Bible says we are sent into this world, even as Jesus had ...read more

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jun 10, 2021

How did Paul respond to his critics ... ? ... Paul "... said, but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles" (I Cor.1:23 NRSV). The true gospel of Jesus Christ removes all crutches that people use to prop up their pretentiousness!

Hidden Gold

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Feb 19, 2022

What most people saw as junk, he saw as disciples who could change the world. Each person had a history all his or her own. There was no such thing as a nobody ...read more
