This sermon explores the concept of forgiveness, emphasizing that Jesus offers more than just forgiveness - he offers freedom from sin and a constant, abiding presence through the Holy Spirit.
Hello Church! We’re going to look at the opening to Mark’s gospel today. One of the unique things about the Gospel of Mark is how to-the-point Mark tells the story of Jesus. He doesn’t beat around the bush and he omits a lot of material that we find in Matthew, Luke, and John. In fact, Mark uses ...read more

Change is difficult because we focus on the negative aspects of the change. We follow a wrong strategy. Yet Jesus offers each of us an invitation to change!
Sir Isaac Newton’s “First Law of Motion” states “Everything continues in a state of rest unless it is compelled to change by forces impressed upon it!” I think we all recognize within ourselves the need for change. Yet we also recognized that the change we need is often hard to achieve. Change is ...read more

We need to know the Holy Spirit better. Without Him, we miss out on many blessings.
INTRODUCTION - What is the average Christian’s understanding of the Holy Spirit? - I used to freak out when people called Him the Holy Ghost. - I do not know about you, but ghosts do not give me a comfortable feeling. - Is the Holy Spirit as well known or understood as the two other members of the ...read more
Scripture: Acts 1:8
Denomination: Christian/Church Of Christ
Gift of the Holy Spirit differs from spiritual gifts. God's Word and God's Spirit work in tandem in our lives. The Spirit touches the heart - the inner life. The same Spirit that indwelt 3,000 on Pentecost is the same Spirt that indwells us today.
THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT Just about everyone knows just how important the signs are that are placed along our highways are. These official highways signs give us direction and warn us of certain dangers. These signs are easily read in the daytime and also at night because they reflect headlamp ...read more

This message looks at the first Red Letter Words in the Gospel of John, and they were a question, a question that is still valid today.
The Palestinian sun beat down on the two friends as they listened to John exhort the crowds to repentance. For the past few weeks they had followed John everywhere he had gone, listened to his message, and watched the crowd’s reaction. At first they were sure that he was the one that the ...read more

“Do I really want to be changed.” Jesus asked a very serious question. Let's discover why!
Sermon “Do you want to be made well?” John 5:1-14 Introduction: Sir Isaac Newton’s “First Law of Motion” states “Everything continues in a state of rest unless it is compelled to change by forces impressed upon it!” At different times, I think we all recognize within ourselves the need for change. ...read more
Scripture: John 5:1-4
In Ezekiel 37 we find ourselves … from times of spiritual dryness and death, God desires to breathe new life just when we need it.
NEW LIFE WHEN WE NEED IT Ezekiel 37:1–14 Introduction A few weeks ago, we began a trio of lessons from the Major Prophets. All who are Thirsty, Come - a message from Isaiah encouraging a turn to God.

The only way we can be transformed and freed is through faith in Christ. That faith will transform us and free us by giving us power to do God’s work in our world-and that is the true spirit of the Sabbath.
Have you ever noticed that every time you turn around, there seems to be another rule for you to obey? Have you ever noticed that some of these rules seem to be foolish? Well, I certainly have in both cases. To make matters worse, there are cases where no exceptions can be made to these rules, even ...read more
Scripture: Luke 13:10-17
Denomination: Anglican
Many professing Christians treat the Faith as though it were optional; God calls us to absolute commitment.
“We must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at ...read more
Scripture: Hebrews 2:1-3
Because we have been redeemed by God, not gold, God, through Peter, invites us to live differently--in the shadow of the Cross.
“In the Shadow of the Cross” I Peter 1:18-2:3 ‘Peter’s Principle’s’ Series January 25th, 2009 The cross: an instrument of torturous death—capital punishment—an inhumane way to die—one died bleeding and exposed to the elements—an object of ridicule.
