    This sermon is part IV in a series on overcoming the power of sin in our lives and deals with strategies to resist temptation.

    For the past four weeks we’ve been dealing with this topic of overcoming the power of sin in our lives. We initially came to the conclusion that we are sinners and that we are in need of intervention from an outside source. We reviewed the fact that Christ came and died on our behalf so that we ...read more

    We live in a time where the proclamation of the Word of God is on a decline in our pulpits. As a Church we need to present and stand on the Word of God and proclaim it boldly to a lost and dark world.

    THE PROCLAMATION OF THE CHURCH ACTS 2:1-24 THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT WE FOCUS ON WHEN IT COMES TO THIS PARTICULAR PASSAGE. SOMETIMES THE MAIN THEME FOR THE PASSAGE IS LOST IN OUR ATTEMPT TO PUSH OUR THEOLOGICAL AGENDA. WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT THE MAIN THEMES OF THIS PASSAGE ARE THE COMING OF ...read more

    Bread, Water And Rest

    Contributed by Steve Anderson on Dec 18, 2014
     | 6,077 views

    Funeral sermon for a 16-year old who took his life by suicide at 3 AM by gunshot. It is based on what God provided Elijah when he wanted to die. Its intent is to offer the equivalent of bread, water and rest to the grieving, especially peers and family.

    Background (1 Kings 18): 450 idol prophets; 2 altars, 1 fire; Elijah stood up to 450 prophets of Baal but ran for his life when one woman threatened him (1 Kings 19:3-8). Elijah wanted to die, he had poured out his life for God and felt it had no impact. He was tired and in despair, depressed. ...read more

    Do I ever feel like I am in a pressure cooker, or that I am being pulled and pushed in every direction? Well, I can respond like Herod. I can be manipulated by it to the point where I am forced to make decisions contrary to what I know is right. Or I can

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: The Hope College Women’s basketball team had made it to the national playoffs. The final game saw Hope 20 points behind with 10 minutes left to play. The team remained calm and began to narrow the gap. Then with just 5 seconds remaining, a 3 point basket tied the game. ...read more

    Chosen In Christ--But For What?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 2, 2024
     | 601 views

    The choice is tied up with the Father’s decision to adopt us as sons and daughters, siblings by adoption with His only-begotten Son. For what purpose? We are so favored so that we might praise the glory of God’s grace granted us through the beloved Son, His life, passion, death and Resurrection.

    Fifteenth Sunday in Course 2024 St. Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians anchors our Scriptures today. Paul is acting as a prophet/teacher for the Church at Ephesus but the universal feel of this letter suggests to us that it’s more like an encyclical or circular letter for all of the churches in that ...read more

    Probably nothing can contribute more to the quality of our lives than a positive attitude. And yet, sometimes it is so easy for us to become critical. And we end up focusing on the negative.

    Some scholars have said that Hezekiah started out good and then went bad. I think that’s a short sighted description of a man who was not that much different than we are.

    OPEN: A man spoke of one of the most challenging courses he’d had at his college as being a business law class in which the professor gave difficult true/false tests.

    Sermon # 46 - Are You Running Away? Series

     | 1,383 views

    Are you trying to run away from God ordained relationships because you are unable to handle them? Stop and get back to God and submit to His authority. The Lord can do wonders to restore relationships, and He will bring peace to our restless hearts.

    If one were to describe this period of time, in which we are living, we can depict it as a time when people are constantly running away. We hear of families who are in distress, because the husband or wife chose to walk away from home leaving their spouse and children in a state of abandonment. ...read more

    Though the Lord had led them out of perilous situations, and taken care of all their needs, the Israelites were still hesitant to trust in the Lord wholeheartedly. While Moses kept the promise of God at the forefront the people kept themselves ahead of everything else.

    For today’s meditation we will read Deuteronomy 1:21, “See, the LORD your God has set the land before you. Go up, take possession, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has told you. Do not fear or be dismayed.'” (ESV) These were the words of Moses to the people of Israel. When the Lord ...read more
