Moving When God Moves

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 20, 2019

After a military victory, David didn't rush back to battle, but inquired of the Lord. As a result he was informed where and win to engage the battle. Without this heavenly intel, he and Israel would have been defeated. We too must inquire of God and move when God moves!

Fill My Cup Lord

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 17, 2019

David believes God will fill his cup to overflowing. But why would God do that, and what does it mean for us today?

OPEN: There’s a beautiful Gospel hymn I’d like you to sing with me “Fill my cup, Lord; I lift it up Lord. Come and quench this thirsting of my soul. Bread of Heaven, feed me till I want no more.

The Fellowship Of The Faithful Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 8, 2020

In Acts 2:42, fellowship is named the 2nd item the church devoted themselves to. Why 2nd? Was that a mere accident, or was there a special importance God wanted us to see in that part of worship?

OPEN: I’ve heard from several people in our congregation church (as well as a number of preachers I’ve spoken with) and everybody seems to agree this lock-down is getting old. Online worship is OK… but it’s no replacement for real church. Well, everyone is tired of online worship with the ...read more

Saved A Wretch Like Me Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 21, 2020

People struggle with being called "wretches" (like Amazing Grace has labeled us). The question is - are we "wretches", and if we are - why is that important to know?

I love to sing so I’m going to ask you sing a couple old hymns with me: “Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that SAVED A WRETCH LIKE ME. I once was lost, but now I’m found. Was blind, but now I see. “At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light, and the burden of my heart rolled away. ...read more

Husbands, Love Your Wives

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 21, 2020

Paul commands husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church. If men are to be the fathers the Lord expects, we must first be the husbands He expects. We can't love our children as we should if our love for our wives is lacking.

I can say without hesitation, that being a father is one of the greatest blessings and joys in my life. I am truly thankful for the two daughters the Lord blessed Tanya and me ...read more

Daniel's Prayer Of Confession, Part 2

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jul 6, 2020

All of us have to say sorry to God. Daniel's prayer has much to teach about saying sorry. In particular, Daniel accepts that he shares responsibilty for the sin of his people.

Last week I did a first talk on Daniel’s prayer of confession. I’m going to assume that you can roughly remember what I talked about last week. That might be a mistake, but even if you can’t, I don’t think it should be too much of a problem for following my talk today. At the end of last week’s ...read more

Leave It All Behind

Contributed by Anthony Zibolski on Jul 7, 2020

Sometimes to be of service in the kingdom of God we must be willing to leave it all behind so the God's will is done in our life. He doesn't always take all but we must be willing to give up all if we are going to see God's will done.

Leave it all behind Genesis chapter 12 Introduction- Good morning, we have come together to worship and lift up the name of Jesus. May your heart and mind be open to hear what He has to say and may the loving grace of our Lord fill you with His presence and His compassion. This morning I want to ...read more

Three Good Reasons To Say 'no" To God

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Dec 16, 2019

Mary had many good reasons to say 'np' to the message from the angel. But she chose the wisest answer to say to God. She said 'yes.'

I love the quote that you’ll see printed on the front of your bulletin. Martin Luther was the one who said it about the Christmas story. "There are three wonders here: one, that God should become a man; another, that a virgin should bear a child; and third, that Mary believed. And the ...read more

In this sermon, we examine the truths involved in the wise men coming to see Jesus after His birth. There are many lessons we can learn from their visit.
