"The Greatest Opportunity Ever Offered!" Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Nov 16, 2004

God grants us a wonderful opportunity through faith in Christ.

On television or radio, it is not uncommon to hear a pitchman tell you that the particular opportunity to purchase whatever product he is promoting is "the greatest opportunity ever offered!" You know that isn*t the case, however, because the next week you will see the same product offered with new ...read more

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Nov 16, 2004

Heaven awaits those who have trusted Christ as their Savior.

John 3:16 tells us that when a person comes to God through faith in Jesus Christ, he "shall not perish, but have ETERNAL life." The word "eternal" refers not only to length of life but depth of life!

Why Do We Need A Savior?

Contributed by David Seeley on Nov 30, 2004

This sermon outlines the need that every person has for a Savior. We can never reach Heaven on our own. We can only get there through Jesus Christ.

I. By nature human beings are rebellious against God. Adam and Eve introduced sin into the world (Genesis 3:1-15) (Genesis 3:1-15) Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree ...read more

Hedges Around Hell

Contributed by David Seeley on Nov 30, 2004

God has placed many roadblocks and warning signs on the road toward Hell. Those that miss Heaven will not do so without passing by and ignoring all the warnings the God has placed before them.

Ecclesiastes 10:8 “He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him” Hedges around Hell God has placed many hedges around Hell to keep each and every one of us from going there.

The Search For Grace Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 29, 2003

None of us should become so familiar with God’s grace that we stop searching for it or appreciating it. ­

The Search for Grace This past week I had the opportunity to lead chapel services at Evenglow Retirement Center. Since I was scheduled for every day this week, I decided to speak on the theme of grace. On Monday, when I was meeting with the piano player before the service to pick out some hymns, ...read more

The Scandal Of Grace Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 29, 2003

Grace is scandalous. It’s hard to accept, hard to believe, and hard to receive. Grace shocks us in what it offers. It is truly not of this world. It frightens us with what it does for sinners.

(MacArthur’s New Testament Commentary was used in preparing this message.) The Scandal of Grace In this series, we’ve been learning about the topic of grace. As we look at how Jesus dealt with people and at some of His parables, we’re discovering that these “Grace Encounters” radically ...read more

The Scope Of Grace Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 29, 2003

Many people consider it the greatest short story ever written because it speaks so truthfully to the human condition. It’s really the story of a father with two sons. One sinned when he left ­ the other sinned while staying home. We’re going to look at

The Scope of Grace Since most of you are familiar with the story of the Prodigal Son, I thought I would read a different version of it ­ it’s called the “Prodigal Son in the Key of F.” Feeling footloose and frisky, a feather-brained fellow forced his father to fork over his farthings. Fast he ...read more

The Sensitivity Of Grace Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 29, 2003

This morning, we’re going to encounter someone who was in desperate need of grace. She came face-to-face with her sin ­ and with Jesus ­ and drank deeply of the “Sensitivity of Grace.”

The Sensitivity of Grace If you’ve been with us for the last four weeks, you’ll know that we’re in the middle of a series called, “Grace Encounters.” As we look at how Jesus interacted with people, we’ve been learning about how grace can change our lives.

The Standard Of Grace Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 29, 2003

If you and I want to have relationships that last for the long haul, then we must be willing to extend forgiveness to others. Here’s another way to say it: In every relationship you have, you will constantly be called on to forgive and to ask for forgiv

The Standards of Grace I heard about a man who really loved dogs. He devoted his life to them ­ he read about them, studied them, and even gave talks about them to other dog lovers. One day he decided to pour a new sidewalk in front of his house. His neighbor watched from his window as he ...read more

From Rags To Riches

Contributed by Thomas Dibble on May 22, 2003

What is the story of your life this far? Are you still living in the poverty of sin? Are you still covered with the rags of your own righteousness. Why don’t you come on over to the riches of the grace of God. You can trade the rags of sin for the ric

The phrase “from rags to riches” is one that we all no doubt have heard before. It was a man by the name of Horatio Alger Jr. who coined the phrase and made a name for himself in the late 1800’s. Mr. Alger was the author of novels for boys and became famous for his stories about boys who rose ...read more
