The Peter Principles Series

Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Aug 9, 2022

This sermon focuses on the rise, fall, and restoration of Peter, and three key principles we can glean from it.

How many of you have heard about or read the book “The Peter Principle”? The basic premise is quite simple. It is the idea that in a work place environment, given enough time and enough promotions, people will rise to their level of incompetency. Basically, they will get to a place where their ...read more

Thomas: My Favorite Apostle

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 31, 2022

The apostle Thomas gets the short end of the stick when we read about him and his "doubts" in the Gospel of John. He is more like you and I than we want to admit, and his story affirms it.

When we read of where Jesus chose the Twelve men who would be known as the Apostles, we need to step back for a moment and realize that these men were ordinary working -class, salt-of-the-earth, rough around the edge individuals who had jobs ranging from catching fish to collecting taxes to a ...read more

The Last Breakfast Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 5, 2021

The Lord's supper was prepared by others, but the Lord's breakfast is really just that, it is the Lord's breakfast that He prepared Himself. This is the only men's breakfast we read about in the Bible, and the Lord of the universe is both the host and the cook.

The Bible says God's mercies are new every morning, and the result is that many of His blessings have come to His people at breakfast. Hudson Taylor, the founder of the China Inland Mission, tells of this event in his life as he prepared to go to China. When he got to China he knew he would ...read more

Meeting Jesus At His Table - Come And Dine Series

Subject: "how To Deal With Uncertainty And Change In Life"

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Mar 5, 2025

These handpicked disciples of Jesus found themselves off target and off task in amid uncertainty. It’s normal and natural to feel uncomfortable about not knowing what's next. See how they dealt with uncertainty.

"do You Love Me More Than These?"

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Feb 15, 2025

With Valentine's Day now passed, we need to examine our hearts and ask the same question Jesus asked Peter after His resurrection, "Do you love Me more than these?"

John chapter 21 beginning in verse one is where I want to focus today. On the heels of Valentine's Day, I believe it is important to reflect on the one question that the Lord would ask all of us today. "Do you love Me?" Now, at first, we are quick to respond, "YES, LORD! I DO ...read more

Droughts

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Sep 9, 2024

Last week I asked “Am I the fear-filled Spirit void Peter denying Christ, or the Holy Spirit filled Peter proclaiming the gospel of Jesus”?

For a large part of 2010 and 2011 our area experienced a major drought. In fact, it was the most severe in about 50 years. Rainfall was well below the seasonal average for both years, with long stretches of 90+ degree days and almost that high for the lows. There was a record stretch of triple ...read more

"I Go A Fishing”

We go through life asking and being asked questions.

For example, one of the question that we ask often as we greet someone. • How are you? • How’s your day going? In asking this question to greet people, is this just a social exchange are do we really care about that person when we ask this question to someone? Personally, when I ask HOW ...read more

Gone Fishing

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Mar 17, 2023

What did the disciples do after Jesus' miraculous resurrection? They went fishing! But this passage teaches us that it’s okay to get on with our lives while waiting for Jesus to make it clear what it is we are to do for him.

I’ll bet not one of you can tell me exactly what happened to the disciples after that first Easter morning, and in what order. And it’s not surprising. I would have had a hard time putting together a chronology of events if I hadn’t had to preach on the subject, and even then there’s a little ...read more

Fishing? Or Catching?

Contributed by Terry Hovey on Apr 15, 2023

Fishing doesn’t necessarily mean catching. And this was a lesson that the disciples also learned, again, in our text today. Once again, even though they were professionals at it, they learned something new about…

Fishing? Or Catching? John 21:1-14 You know, I discovered something about myself a long time ago that some of you might be able to identify with. I discovered that sometimes I tend to think higher of myself and my abilities than maybe I should. For example, when I first started playing golf, now ...read more
