    You Cant Fool God Series

    Contributed by Dan Borchert on Nov 17, 2005
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,706 views

    We think we are so smart, we think we are able to pull a fast one on God. No we cant, God will find out, and we will have to deal with the consequences

    Acts 5:1-11 You Can’t Fool God Introduction A. Let me make a disclaimer here B. I do not like this passage C. Now John 3:16 – I like that, it make me feel good D. I like Romans 8:31-38 “What can separate me from the love of God?” E. Boy if that isn’t encouraging I don’t know what is F. Then we ...read more

     | 3,111 views

    Want to be a part of bringing God’s love to the world but think you have to be a missionary to the jungles of Africa to do it? Think again. Share the gospel without speaking a word.

    As I’ve said on numerous occasions, there are two purposes for redeemed humanity: to glorify God by becoming like Him, and to therefore be more effective in bringing others into relationship with Him. To do the first we must come into relationship with Jesus—invite Him to do a friendly takeover of ...read more

    based on 4 ratings

    This message focuses on the truth that the choice is ours as it relates to how we think about our situations. And how we think about our situations will determines our responses to them.

    The Choice Is Ours Scripture: Joshua 24:15; Proverbs 3:5-6; Psalm 37:24-25 The title of my message this morning is “the Choice Is Ours.” Henry Ford said, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can't – you're right.” I personally believe he came to this conclusion after ...read more

    Marriage: Build Up Your Spouse Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 10, 2022
     | 3,064 views

    Christianity is a call to be selfless. To think of others needs more highly than yourself. In Christian marriage we are called to think of our spouses needs before our own needs.

    We all know how easy it is to tear down. You could spend one hour building a sandcastle. It can be destroyed with one swift kick. It is easy to see the dust in someone else’s eye and overlook the plank in your own. In this message on Christian marriage I really just want you to look at half of it. ...read more

     | 4,330 views

    As we think about Jesus being The Vine, this sermon challenges us to think about our relationship with Christ and how we move into closer relationship through our lives.

    In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. One thing that I am not is green-fingered, I know how to mow a lawn, and how to pull up weeds, although if I’m being honest they are more likely to be flowers, and I know that roses should be pruned. I don’t know why this is the case, I just ...read more

    As we think about all that Luke 9 is about, I want you to please begin to think where you are at in your relationship with Jesus. I want to help you FOLLOW Jesus and so it is good to critique, pray, think, and ruminate on how we are doing in our relationship with God.

    The tenth in a series walking through the book of James. This message contrasts the temporary nature of worldly wealth, with the eternal hope found in the coming day of the Lord. It is intended to provide hope for those in financial struggles needing to

    There is no doubt that James is a book of tough teaching. In fact, I can just imagine there were probably recipients of this letter that were going through some really hard times. Maybe they had endured some persecution. We know that many of them were suffering financially. Life was not easy. ...read more

    The Banquet Series

     | 9,034 views

    Jesus' challenge to the host in Luke 14, that he should not invite those who could serve his needs but those whose needs he could serve, challenges the worldly approach to human relationships.

    Luke 14:1-14 "The Banquet" INTRODUCTION The word "Stewardship" has gained an ugly reputation in Christian circles. It is frequently associated with congregational pleas for more money. The word has lost its wholistic dimension. Stewardship, or if you prefer, good management is no longer ...read more

    Many today want to put aside any mention of shame as inappropriate. Paul, though, speaks of godly sorrow and worldly sorrow. What's the distinction and how can sorrow be a good thing?

    SMILEY RELIGION: “God wants me to be happy.” - 2 Corinthians 7:8. - Today so many presume that God’s job is to make them happy.
