This is a message preached on Memorial Day weekend based on Scripture found in 2Timothy 2:1-7, entitled A Soldiers Cross. The call to be a soldier in the Lord's army will require four areas of total committment. There is a call of preparation as we draw close to our Commander; a call to persevere under extreme enemy resistance. There is also a call to complete allegiance and always an attitude of pure appreciation. The call to serve, whether in the Armed Forces or in the Lord's Army requires complete dedication and is a great honor.

This message starts a brand new sermon series entitled 'Who's Your One' which is a NAMB led emphasis on personal evangelism. Today we will look at what it meant for the very first disciples to follow Jesus. What does being a true follower of Christ look like in our own lives today? WE will discover that God desires to lead us on the path of faith and to leave our old ways behind. We must also learn from the Master and be bold enough to cast the net as opportunities come. Anybody ready to go fishing with Jesus?

This was a Mother's Day message that was based on the book of Ruth. In this beautiful story we can see that a mother's love is completely pure and forms an unbreakable bond with her children.

Let her know today.

This was a salvation message preached the week after Easter celebrating the fact that Jesus is alive. It seems that some of the christians in Corinth were actually beginning to change their position on the Resurrection. The Apostle warned them fiercly that without the resurrection their faith is empty and useless. However, with the resurrection we have verification of amazing blessings from on High. Listen and affirm the truth that we sereve a Risen Savior!

This was a message following our Easter Cantata, based on Scripture found in Matthew 27:15-26. We all must make a choice of who we are willing to serve. Many on that day made the wrong choice and chose Barabus instead of Jesus. How about you; are you ready to live for Jesus, the one who died for you?

This is an abrieviated message delivered after our Children's Easter Program, based on Scripture found in Luke 22:14-20. On the night before Jesus was betrayed He celebrated the Passover Meal with His Disciples. He took time to unfold the mysteries and revealed himself as the perfect passover Lamb. We are still commanded to celebrate the Lord's supper in rememberance of His amazing sacrifice. Do you know He died for you?

As we get ready for Easter Sunday, this is a message about our Lord cleansing His Temple, based on Scripture found in Matthew 21:12-17. Here we see that Jesus was passionate about true worship and was righteously angry about how the religious leaders were corrupting it. There was disrespect for the Temple; they were hindering Gentile seekers from observing the One True God. Many were rejecting the true Lamb of God and instead trapped in their lifeless traditions! Are you ready to respond to God with child-like faith?
