We find great power and effect when we plead with God for His intervention, following the pattern of adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and supplication (ACTS).

A grateful heart brings many wonderful benefits. Christians, especially, should be people of thanksgiving because we know all that Jesus has done for us. God commands us to be thankful for all things. In this message, we discuss the benefits of a grateful heart towards God.

Next in our prayer series is "The Power of Prostration - Confession." To get the most out of prayer, we need to go through a cleansing ritual of sorts. We need to ask God to illuminate our sin, confess it, and repent. Only then do we enable the Holy Spirit to work deeply within us and reveal God's mind.

After salvation and all it affords us, perhaps the next greatest benefit of a renewed relationship with God is the privilege of going to Him in prayer. Prayer is the practice of talking to God and listening to Him. This message is the first of four teachings about prayer.

Beginning in the first chapter of Genesis, God created and established families as the core structure for humankind. In this message, we see God's unfolding plan for the family unit: where children learn about God, are trained in God's ways, and the family is a crucial proving ground for church leaders. Walk with us through God's word as we unfold His plan for the worldwide proclamation of His mes...

In this life, we all have pain and suffering, whether it's from an illness, an injury, or an insult. There is no end. In the midst of our suffering, we very often think or say, "God, why don't you do something?" Even those who don't believe in God seem to find the faith to believe in God. But what does God tell us in His word?

Matthew 24 gives us Jesus' teaching during His last week of ministry on Earth. In our passage for today's message, Matthew 24:1-14, Jesus describes events that precede the end times. After painting a bleak picture of life during those days, He continues by saying that the gospel will be preached and that those who stay firm (in their faith) until the end will be saved. Hard times are coming before...

A common belief among non-Christians, especially those who follow no faith system at all, is that faith in Jesus Christ is a crutch for the weak-minded. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Becoming a Christian instantly puts one at odds with the world. On the other hand, God calls His followers to do tasks that defy the odds and sometimes seem downright foolish. Nope, being a Christi...

In Matthew 25, we find Jesus teaching His last messages before He was crucified. What was on Jesus' mind in these last words to His disciples? He was teaching and warning them to be ready for the Kingdom of God. Our passage for this message is Matthew 25:1-13. It is the parable of the 10 virgins waiting for the groom's call. Five were ready to meet Him, five were not. This begs the question for us...

Jesus' followers were looking for God's kingdom to come and drive out the Romans. They were discouraged because that wasn't what Jesus was teaching or doing. Additionally, people weren't responding to His teaching, and His close, true followers were few in number. How on earth was God's kingdom going to be established? We can get discouraged when we look around us, but Jesus' teaching can help us...

We have a lot of distractions, some good and some bad, that obscure our view of the cross, of God's will for our lives. Paul shows us how we can become fully aligned with Christ and let His way loom large and be complete in our sight. Will we take that step? That's what God is waiting to see.

In Psalm 44, King David of Israel recounted how God had blessed the nation. He also acknowledged that Israel had missed a blessing from God because of their wickedness and abandonment of God's principles. We can learn from David's words as we consider how God has blessed America. If we are honest, we too have missed out on God's blessings because we are abandoning His principles and ceasing to wor...

Using Exodus 13:17-22, we learn how God guided the Israelites out of Egypt. From those observations, we learn principles about how God guides that still apply today .

What better example for men can there be but Jesus Christ? On this Father's Day 2026, we look at the attributes of Jesus, especially how He was a kind-hearted, compassionate, patient person with the downtrodden common man or woman, but He expressed great passion against those who were oppressing the people, and how He can be an example for us today.

Our walk with God begins with Him confronting us with our need for salvation. Once we accept Him as our God through the work of Jesus Christ, He continues to confront us to instill a deeper faith in Him. Today, we look at Exodus 3:1-6, 14, and the life of Moses to glean insight into how God confronts.

In this message, we bring to a close our study of the Book of Romans. In the last four chapters of Romans, the Apostle Paul largely provided a list of instructions to the believers in Rome on how to have good relationships with others and how to treat all people. Join us as we consider his exhortations.

We continue our study in the Book of Romans in chapter 12, verses 3-9. In this section, the Apostle Paul introduces the concept of spiritual gifts. We discuss the difference between spiritual gifts and talent, where and when they come from, and what they are for.

From Romans 12:1,2 - Having discussed God's justification, mercy, and grace, Paul continues his instruction with the plea that we enter into a complete, sold-out attitude of service and yieldedness to God.

Our message from May 17, 2026, "Your Religion is Killing You. (cont'd)" is the continuation of May 3rd's message.  In this message, we continue in chapter 11 of the Book of Romans.

We continue our study of the Book of Romans in the Christian New Testament section of the Bible. This is a two-part message based on chapters 9,10, and 11. The 2nd part will be preached on May 17, 2026. Religion is good, it is following the tenets of someone, and in our case, God and Jesus Christ. But the religion is merely the following of the tenets or the works of our faith. We must be sure we...

We continue our series on the Book of Romans this week with chapter. In this chapter, Paul begins to address the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

This week, Glynn Brockway, our supply Worship Leader, is filling in for Pastor Wes, who is out of town. His sermon touches on how we can build up the church or break it.

We continue our sermon series on the Book of Romans. In this message, we examine Paul's teaching in chapter 7 on the liberty we have in Jesus Christ from sin and the law, and how we should live with our newfound liberty.

Because of Jesus Christ's resurrection, those who have believed in Him have the hope of one day entering heaven upon their death. But we also reap benefits from Jesus's resurrection while we are alive. In today's message, we learn the three benefits of resurrection in the life of a believer.

In our life we face many, many challenges. We have the skills, abilities, and knowledge to face these challenges, but sometimes the challenge overwhelms us and demands more than we can offer. How do we continue to face the challenge? One of the most powerful mechanisms we have to help with pressing on is the hope that an answer will come or a solution will present itself. Having hope is critical....
