Undeserved - A God Who Loves Anyway

Contributed by Roberta Karchner on Jun 12, 2020

In the context of White Privilege, we sometimes think God loves us because we are lovable. Quite the opposite, God calls us when we aren't worthy or even very lovable. Responding to a God who brings laughter.

Sermon: Undeserved • Sarah and Abraham were unworthy but God gave them Isaac (laughter) anyway. • We were undeserving, but Jesus died for us anyway. • If we know God loves us even if we are undeserving, how should we act towards others? I was speaking with a group of pastors this week about ...read more

The Dignity Of The King Vs. The Depravity Of Humanity

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 21, 2022

John 18:12-36 continues the story of Jesus' journey towards the cross as He faced His enemies and an illegal trial based on false charges. What they didn't know was that Jesus was in control and that this was part of the redemptive plan (1 Corinthians 2:7-8).

The Lord Jesus had been arrested while in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:47-56; Mark 14:43-52; Luke 22:47-53; John 18:1-11). He was being hauled off to an illegal trial on false charges. This is the beginning of an obvious plot using any means possible by the Pharisees and the other ...read more

Hope Shines Through Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 1, 2022

Out of the most desperate situations God is able to do a work of hope. The Messiah is a shoot from the stump of Jesse. From a stump God will raise up a ruler and king. Not just any king but the greatest the world will ever know, the Messiah, King Jesus.

In what way would you describe the almighty power of God? One way would be to picture a forest. A giant comes along something like “Paul Banyan” who walks through swinging a two sided axe and chops down trees with each swing. It would be like swinging a cycle in a field of wheat. The imagery is ...read more

Fear

Contributed by Robbie Parsons on Sep 9, 2021

Fear is a very real emotion that seems to be hitting us all around these days. People seem to be more prone to fear and anxiety with COVID and it's new Delta variant. We should not fear to freeze us in place, taking our focus off of God, but we should rely on Him to help us through our fear.

Fear is one of those words that we know what it is, but it would be hard to sit down and write a definition of it. Definition: An unpleasant, often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger; anxious concern; reason for alarm or danger. We have had a lot of fear in the last ...read more

The Marriage Of The Lamb Series

Contributed by Larry Grant on Sep 12, 2021

Years ago Pastor Alan Carr preached “A Marriage made in Heaven” where he talked about the marriage of the Lord Jesus as the catalyst for Heaven’s anthems of praise. Those in Heaven lift their voices in four “Hallelujah’s” (4 Specific praises to God)!

We have arrived at an exciting portion of the Bible. After the dark, dreary chapters from 6 to 18 these verses gleam with the glory of Heaven. We are going to talk about the marriage super of the Lamb. You see, for the church, the end times shape up like this: In the Rapture, we will be Caught Up; ...read more

Judah's Inheritance (Joshua 15)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Feb 16, 2025

Does God care about the details of our lives? Let's start in Joshua 15.

Why does God go into such detail regarding the tribe of Judah’s inheritance? Do small villages, that we might consider insignificant, matter to God? Do we matter to God? Let’s consider Joshua 15. What was the southern border of the tribe of Judah? The clans of the Judah tribe were given land that ...read more
