Proving Not So Much That He Is God As What Sort Of God He Is...

Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Aug 26, 2025

A sermon on Jesus healing the woman bent over double in the Synagogue.

In our intercessions today (as we do every week)– we will be praying for people who are sick – praying because we wish Jesus to make them well.

Turning Fear Into Joy

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Feb 21, 2024

If we think about it, if we go through a fearful time in our life, when all turns out okay and are settled, we tend to be joyful.

For the past 3 weeks, we have been talking about having a reverent fear of God, about feeling secure from fear in the arms of God, and replacing our fear with courage. Today, we are going to talk about bringing it all together and turning our fears into joy. If we think about it, if we go through ...read more

Sermon # 11 - Joseph The Shadow - Jesus Our Reality Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 2, 2024

There is much that we as a church can learn from the life of Joseph, and the relationship that Jacob his father had with him. While Joseph is just a shadow the reality is Jesus Christ, and our call today as members of the body of Christ is to grown in our relationship with Him.

We continue our meditation based on 2 Corinthians 9:8, “Besides, God is able to make every blessing of yours overflow for you, so that in every situation you will always have all you need for any good work.” (ISV) Based on the above verse, we are learning the ways in which God will make us those ...read more

28 The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 6:11-13 - Message 28 – Paul Extends Himself To The Limits And Another Expose´ Of Those Who Were False Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 11, 2025

What was the large letter formation Paul used? Why did he use that? DO NOT compromise the faith or deny the faith because you are afraid of persecution. In Galatia they were abandoning the faith to avoid trouble. Very special note for younger Christians.

28 THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 6:11-13 - Message 28 – PAUL EXTENDS HIMSELF TO THE LIMITS AND ANOTHER EXPOSE´ OF THOSE WHO WERE FALSE As we near the end of this heartfelt letter to the Galatian churches, Paul touches on a personal matter that raises much speculation, and he delivers ...read more

Rock Of Ages Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 9, 2021

If you want to make a way to anywhere be lasting, you make it with rocks. Jesus is the permanent way to God and eternal life, for He is the Rock of Ages. On Christ the solid Rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand.

1776 was the year the United States of America was born. It was also the year one of the favorite hymns of all time was born, and that was Rock Of Ages. The author was an Englishman named Augustus Montague Toplady. He wrote 133 poems and hymns, but they were all forgotten. This one, however, ...read more

Christian Excellence Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021

What we see in this letter of Titus is that Paul was committed to excellence. The goal of God is not just to get His Son a bride, but to get Him a bride who is without spot or wrinkle, or any such thing. In other words, the goal of God is always perfection.

For some unknown reason a sculptor hacked an 18 foot high piece of marble into an awkward shape, and then left it unfinished to lay in a Cathedral courtyard in Florence, Italy. For about a hundred years it laid there until Sept. of 1501. The damaged block had been offered to other sculptors, but ...read more

Words Of Wisdom For Graduates

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 10, 2021

In this passage, Solomon is acting as a teacher instructing his students about life. He concludes with his observations about the purpose of life; and in his closing remarks we find four words of wisdom that can be applied to graduates.

Today is our Graduate Recognition, and I feel led to share from a passage in Ecclesiastes. This book is believed to have been written by Solomon, since Ecclesiastes 1:1 says that these are “the words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.” To get started, I think these words can ...read more

Sharing Ministry Together

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 13, 2021

When the volunteer workload is placed on the shoulders of just a handful of people, then these individuals get burnt out; and since they can’t do everything, then a lot of needs go unmet. Ministry is something to be shared among all believers.

I wish to begin our message by sharing a personal account contributed by a pastor who was serving at a church in Washington State during the wake of the Mount St. Hellens eruption. This pastor said, After Mount St. Helens blew up in May 1980, [the] church needed cleaning up. Ash was in the ...read more

David, The Soldier Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Nov 11, 2020

Israel faced an enemy and thought they couldn't possibly defeat them. Goliath was a secret weapon, nearly ten feet tall and full of hatred for Israel. Then came a shepherd boy named David--and the rest is history.

Introduction: David had learned some of the arts of defense by tending his flock of sheep. Lions, bears, and perhaps other predators were always looking for sheep so it was up to the shepherd to protect them. After Samuel had anointed him (to be the future king), David had served Saul in a number ...read more
