    Christmas Significa Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jul 11, 2021
     | 2,881 views

    The real beauty and power of Christmas is how it is as mundane as it is holy, secular as it is sacred, temporal as it is eternal, physical as it is spiritual, worldly as it is heavenly … and this is by design.

    Today’s scripture reading reminds me of Christmas hymns like “Angles We Have Heard on High” in which the angels “sweetly sing o’er the plans” (UMH, verse 1; p.238) or “Hark! the Herald Angels Sing” … “glory to the newborn King” (UMH, verse 1; p. 240). Songs like these beautifully capture the drama ...read more

    A life that is built pursuing worldly things is like chasing the wind. But a life built on the Rock which is Christ is the only one that will endure.

    Chase the Wind or Stand on the Rock Text: Ecclesiastes 3:1-17 THANKSGIVING AND PRAYER If you will, take your Bibles this morning and open them up to the Book of Ecclesiastes.

    Be Ye Separate

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on May 4, 2024
     | 1,297 views

    Christians are to be readily recognizable. They are to be seperate from worldly persons. However, it is most difficult to identify one in a crowd in the modern world. Why?

    In western culture and its influence upon all the rest of mankind, depicting Christians from the rest of the world is most difficult today. The only differences we see come from diverse groups who outwardly show differences in their dress and chosen culture. Outward differences among all others are ...read more

    Construction Site Or Warzone?

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Aug 25, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,991 views

    God is calling the church to rebuild after the Corona Virus pandemic lock-downs. Any church that rebuilds becomes a construction site, which is a warzone for spiritual battle. This message can be re-worked for a building program.

    Last week I mentioned how I believe that God is calling us to rebuild our fellowship after a series of setbacks. This means that our church is currently sitting smack dab in the middle of a spiritual construction site. I remember how I once pastored a church where we built a multipurpose ...read more

    Correcting Our Double Vision Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 13, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,792 views

    This message addresses the problem of spiritual double vision; being focused on the things of God and the things of the world simultaneously. Jesus talks about treasure in heaven or earth; being full or light or darkness; and pursuing God or money.

    I have entitled our message this morning, “Correcting Our Double Vision.” Double vision, according to Yale Medicine, is understood as being when someone sees two of the “same” image instead of one.(1) But today, I want us to think of double vision as seeing two “separate” images at the same time. ...read more
