Elevate To The Next Level - "The People God Uses”

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jun 29, 2025

One of the greatest needs in the church is for people who will not only serve, but who will also lead. It is about those who will invest themselves in the lives of others. I see four examples in Nehemiah’s first actions that separates him, not only as a leader but as a person that God uses.

Faithful Builders

Contributed by Terry Hovey on Aug 1, 2025

One would think that with Paul and Apollos being their foundation layer and builders, the church in Corinth would be near perfect. But here we are, reading about how imperfect they were.

Faithful Builders 1Cor 3:5-23 One of the things I love about Paul’s letters to the Corinthians is that we’re shown a church that was pretty messed up. Despite the fact that Paul had planted this church, and then at some later date Apollos came and built upon what Paul had started, they still got ...read more

Working in the corporate world for more than 18 years, I know well the everyday struggles we face. We’ve seen how people try to climb the ladder of power or position. Some butter up their bosses. Others work the room - networking, playing politics, bending the rules - anything to get ahead.

Treasure God's Word

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 29, 2025

God’s word has power to change and transform our lives and all of our situations. The question is, “Do we treasure God’s Word?” May we ask God to open our eyes so we can see the wondrous truths hidden in it and will choose to walk in total obedience to God and His Word.

Today’s meditation is based on Joshua 1:6-7, “Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them.

Hear Isaiah’s Advent Call!

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Dec 1, 2025

For our sermon this morning we are invited to hear a message from the Prophet Isaiah in his role as an Advent preacher. Actually, we hear three messages connected to three voices calling out in his prophecy.

They were all Advent preachers. From Moses to Malachi their messages were the same. Repent. Return. Believe. Yes, they delivered their messages in different ways, and at different times.

Identity In Christ PRO Sermon
