One of the hardest thing to do is writing the final scene to an episode or movie...We want to know that our favorite character is going to live happily ever after and that the bad guy is going to get what he deserves. A failure by the writers to give us some type of satisfactory closure is maddening! We are convinced that God doesn’t want a single chapter of this great story He is directing to be...

Storms aren’t limited to the sea, are they? You can get caught in a doozy at any time in any place. When all hope appears to be gone what is a person to do? The best bet to survive a storm is to stay out of the storm in the first place. At the moment they seem to come out of nowhere, but the truth is they could have been easily avoided. If storms are avoidable, why do we get caught in them? Find o...

Are there any Festus’ in our world today? People who view Christians as simpletons, if not complete whack jobs? Of course there are! Famous and not-so-famous people make claims all the time that Christianity is for the weak-minded, and they are even a threat to society. Are we courageous enough to share Jesus with them?

To be a powerful witness to our community we must not withdraw, but at the same time we must not embrace the ways of the world that are contrary to God’s will.

It is dangerous business to make assumptions, isn’t it? Assuming can quickly lead to thoughts, words, and even incredibly hurtful actions to people who are just trying to do good. Does it seem to you that many people in society, even the church, can be quick to act on negative assumptions? Let's talk about it and let's find out what God is calling us to be to our fellow believers and unbelievers....

Do first impressions matter? As Will Rogers once said “you never get a second chance to make a good first impression.” Some people are really good at first impressions. They can blow you away with their charisma, charm, and style, but in the long run the impression they leave is poor. Why? Day in and day out they fail to live up to the first impression shine. Some people live to make a lasting imp...

People need to know God. They need to know God far more than they need to know about the good works of the Campbell Church or our personal feelings about all of the hot button issues of our day. They need to know about the God who is not so small that religion has him neatly boxed up, nor so small that He demands to be served before He will serve.  Our world needs to know about the all-powerf...

Got conflict? Who Doesn't? Got Conflict in the Church? Here is the deal...The church is never going to be a conflict-free zone. Not when it is made up of all of us sinners who have different desires, preferences, and beliefs. So, how should we deal with conflict? Do we choose to pretend it doesn’t exist? We bury our head in the sand - claim everything is fine - when it is anything but. Does that w...

Is there anyone here that needs God to do a mighty work in their life today? Do you feel like we are cripples in unseen ways? Physically, emotionally, or spiritually? Maybe some of us are crippled by grief, hurt, regret, self-doubt, etc? If God gave us a quick peek into what is really going in the lives of the people around us, we would quickly come to the realization that we do not have nearly en...

One of the hardest things about walking with the Lord can be learning to listen to God's call and follow his lead. This Sunday, we will learn from the experience of our graduating seniors and the Israelites in the book of Numbers. Join us to grow in your ability to look for where God is leading you and to follow that lead daily!

Movement Christians expect change while monument Christians fight change. Movement Christians are willing to step into the unknown while monument Christians are hoping to keep the status quo.

If there is one thing the church needs today, it is more people like Barnabas. People whose presence and actions inspire us to stay in the fight. Satan will do everything he can to convince you not to. He will tell you that you do not have the time or energy, try to convince you that it wouldn’t make a difference, fill you with doubt about your ability. Don’t pay him any attention. Each of you has...

God shows no favoritism, and as such we should not either. This should be one of the primary things that set the church apart from the world. The church should be a place of care, belonging, and opportunity for one and all. No favoritism should exist! -- It’s not easy, but it’s worth it! Join us for Witness Part 11 titled "No More Playing Favorites"

God is calling you today to stop seeing other people's faults but to start seeing them for what they could be - "a difference-maker" for the kingdom of God. We may not see it but that is what God specializes in. God can tame even the grizzliest bear and use them for His glory!

Jesus welcomes anyone and everyone who is sincerely seeking him. He says come as you are! We must never put down roots so deep - so deep in a community, friendship group, career, identity, our schedule - that we can’t be budged by the call of God. When God calls we must go and when God calls to love on others we must go. 

Satan would love for you to believe he has power over you, but he has none. He has been stripped (disarmed). The only power is the power we choose to give him. Who has the last say? Satan doesn't want you to know this.... Join us to find out what "Last Words" changed the entire world and all the generations to come.

You can’t buy your way back to God. You can’t purchase His blessing. Not with money. Not with church attendance. Not even with acts of service. God’s blessing begins with our surrendering to Jesus. Who is the reigning King in your life? Join us as we continue Witness Part 8 titled "King of the Hill".

“If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything,” but living up to those words has never been easy. You know why? It is not easy to take a stand when there is so much at stake to lose (especially if that something is out of step with popular opinion.) But Jesus promises that standing for him is the way to gain everything your heart desires. Are you willing to "Take A Stand?"? Join us...

Do you occasionally view certain people as being less important or inferior? Do you ever tune out or dismiss the feelings, insights, or potential of a particular group? Do you get defensive rather than trying to understand the perspective of those different than you? A “yes” to any of these questions points to the topic we are going to go deeper into here at Part 6 of Witness titled " A Divided Ho...

As long as you do what is right is all that matters. Is that true? It sounds true, but is it really? Doing the right thing is not enough. If we hope for things to turn out right, we must do what is right for the right reasons. Have you checked your motives lately? Find out here on part 5 of Witness why the right actions with bad motives result in bad behavior.
