think so, or it might not seem like it.
|
Sermon 27:
|
WDJD 5/Valentines
Jesus loves us, and we should love each other.
Love is more than a gift on Valentines though, it
should be a constant expression, shown in all that
we say and do.
|
Sermon 26:
|
WDJD 4
Jesus didn't only spread the good news to certain
people and neither should we. Jesus stepped across
racial barriers and told everybody about the
Salvation He brought.

|
Sermon 15:
|
Sharing Your Faith
Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
You can know everything there is to know about the
Bible, but if you aren't sharing that knowledge with
the lost and dying world, is it really doing anybody
any good?
|
Sermon 14:
|
Why Did God Give Us the
Bible?
God gave us the Bible so we could know who he is.
God gave us the Bible so we could learn about the
past.
God gave us the Bible so we can know that he is holy
God gave us the Bible so we could learn how to live

God.

and two fish, and how Jesus feed about five thousand
with that food.

|
Forgiveness
How often should we forgive?
Matthew 18:21-22 Then came Peter to him, and said,
Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I
forgive him? till seven times?
22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee,
Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

God Can Use You!
You might think that you aren't good enough for God
to use, you don't have enough talent, or you have
too much sin in your past, but God can use anybody.
The plain, the poor, the sinners.
|
Sermon 8:
|
Why do Bad Things
Happen to Good People 2?
A continuation of the last sermon. More questions
asked and more answered.
If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal
savior, you have Him to lean on when times are hard.
Actually, you have Him all the time, but He is a
strong tower when we're in times of
trouble Proverbs 18:10 The name of the
LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into
it, and is safe.
|
Sermon 7:
|
Why do Bad Things
Happen to Good People?
A timeless question, deserving of a good answer.
|
Sermon 6:
|
Stewards
We are all stewards of what God has given us,
however some of us might not be the best stewards we
could be.
Matthew 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures
upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and
where thieves break through and steal:
|
Sermon 5:
|
The Light of the World
2
The second part of the previous sermon. Brian takes
a closer look at how to be the light.
|
Sermon 4:
|
The Light of the World.
As believers we are all examples of Christ. You are
the only Bible many people with ever read, and the
only Jesus many will ever see. Your life should be a
reflection of Jesus, people should see Jesus in you.
|
Sermon 3:
|
You Can Come as You
Are.
God doesn't have any prerequisites to be saved. You
don't have to meet a list of rules, or be good
enough, His salvation is a free gift for everybody.
This song helped inspire the message. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-5_iw9Vk2k
Come As You Are, by Pocket Full of Rocks.
|
Sermon 2:
|
A God Shaped Hole.
We all share one need, one thing in common, we all
have a God shaped hole, something inside ourselves
that we desperately need filled, but sadly many
people don't know what to use to fill that hole.
|
Sermon 1:
|
John 3:16
The very first mini sermon from our president Brian
Hanson. The topic, as you may have guessed from the
title, is John 3:16
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave
his only begotten Son, that whosoever believed in
him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
