    Two Pathways Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jun 2, 2014
     | 4,369 views

    Performance-based religion is not the Gospel. In both the OT & NT redemption comes via grace apart from works.

    Introduction: “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood and I took the one less traveled by” wrote Robert Frost. There are two roads before us and only one leads to Heaven. Which one is it--the road of good works or faith? Works will get us lost in the woods. When we realize that none of ...read more

    Sermon: Preserving The Best Of Both Worlds Series

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jan 17, 2023
     | 2,886 views

    Jesus in this discourse helps us to realize the importance preserving the best of both worlds and the danger of putting new wine in old wineskins. New wineskins are flexible and easy to stretch, while old wineskins are difficult to stretch. How can we preserve the best of both worlds?

    Sermon: Preserving the Best of Both Worlds Scripture: Matt 9:10-17 “As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew (Levi) sitting in the tax collector’s booth; and He said to him, “Follow Me [as My disciple, accepting Me as your Master and Teacher and walking the same path of life that I ...read more

    The Challenge To Love Much  Series

    Contributed by John Dobbs on Feb 13, 2025
     | 656 views

    Our text today does not contain a miracle as such. The setting is a much more relaxed atmosphere - dinner at Simon’s house. The Pharisees play a major role in the story of Jesus.

    The Challenge to Love Much    Luke 7:36-50 Introduction Last week we saw Jesus demonstrate amazing powers as he healed the centurion’s servant at a distance and raised the son of the widow of Nain. The miracles of Jesus serve to: -Show us his great love and compassion for ...read more

    RELATIONSHIPS – EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES King Edward of England appointed William Wickham to build a church. William Wickham performed his duty and finished by writing in one of the windows, "This work made William Wickham." When the king saw this he confronted William for assuming the honor ...read more

    Looking Unto Jesus And Not Your Faith

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,795 views

    Faith is not rules concerning what we must do to receive from God. When we see Jesus as big as He really is then we relax in Him. This is where faith is born.

    I recently had a chat with a good friend and I opened up that there is a need to understand the difference between the faith of Jesus and our faith. There are many Christians who always want to start off asking themselves “Do I have enough faith?”. They want to be sure that they are ...read more

The title of my message this morning is “Finish What Is Started.” Please note that I did not say “Finish what “you” started, but finish “what is” started. What you will hear this morning is that as a Christian we must finish the work together, ...read more

    Without Strength Before The Pursuer

    Contributed by Daniel Olukoya on Jan 3, 2012
    based on 74 ratings
     | 56,382 views

    What a tragic lamentation. The runner is in big trouble because he is being pursued but has no strength. Somebody that is pursued cannot relax. If he has no strength then he is already a prey, a casualty.

    Lamentation 1:6 says, “And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer.” What a tragic lamentation. The runner is in big trouble because he is being pursued but has no strength. ...read more
