Bridge Builders (January 14, 2018 Second Sunday After Epiphany)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Nov 4, 2021

What is a priest? One way to think about what a priest does is to compare them to being a bridge builder. Why that analogy? A bridge connects pieces of land that are geographically separated, much like a priest helps people connect with God.

BRIDGE BUILDERS (January 14, 2018 Second Sunday after Epiphany) Text: I Samuel 3:1-10 1 Samuel 3:1-10  Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the LORD under Eli. The word of the LORD was rare in those days; visions were not widespread.  (2)  At that time Eli, whose eyesight had ...read more

Practice Makes Perfect (2018)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Apr 30, 2021

Are we children of God? Or do we just claim the name with charades and dismiss the character? Isn’t that what today’s text is all about? On a daily basis, we are called to live up to the name because the way we live is supposed to illustrate who Jesus is!

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT Text: I John 3:1- 7 The story is told of Alexander the Great confronting a coward: "Alexander the Great had a soldier in his army who also bore the name Alexander. But this man was a coward. Alexander the Great called him before him and said to him, "You ...read more

How Beautiful The Feet

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Feb 6, 2022

Each person wore half a heart symbolizing their incompleteness without the companionship of their significant other. There was one couple, though, that wore a different kind of necklace. Hanging ...read more

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Feb 16, 2022

Andrew: Bringing Men To Christ

Truths About The Resurrection

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jun 9, 2021

Do we embrace the resurrection as something that actually occurred in history, or do we think of it simply as folklore, a legendary tale that may or may not have really happened?

Well, I’m going to take it a little farther this morning as we learn the truths about the resurrection. I hope to strengthen your belief in the resurrection in this ...read more
