Tom Shamblee – Today, we will take a look back at the beginning of the early church. Who were these people? What must it have been like to be included in their number? What was their motivation and resolve to further the gospel of Jesus? Can we reproduce their faith, their actions and the environment of the early church today? Join us as we study the scriptures to answer these questions.
Elisha Freeman – In Deuteronomy, Israel was on the shores of the Jordan River, preparing to cross over. However, before she could go forward, she had to go backwards. Backwards in her mind, heart, and experience. Backwards to “remember” God, specifically God’s generosity. Before we can move forward with our One Family campaign, we must go backward to remember the same!
Oct 19, 2025 Elisha Freeman — As a church, our role designated by God is to witness the truth to the world; to witness the whole truth. That truth contains various topics and realities. One such reality is that all of history is linear. Everything and everyone is headed for one great final event: the 2nd coming of Jesus. When that happens, God will judge the world. This morning we will examine this judgment and how Jesus desires to be our confidence on the day of God’s judgment.
Apr 13, 2025 Elisha Freeman– While we, as a church, are taking a more internal focus this year, it is good to remember that God’s church is in the world and exist for the world. This means we need to be mindful of what kind of church we are as we operate in the world.
Mar 23, 2025 Charlie Vasquez — As we prepare for the next 25 years, we are talking a walk through the NT letters to glean principles and practices of the 1st century church to adopt for our present and our future. This week we will look at the good news, the gospel. The early church knew it, but still had struggles. We can learn from their successes and failures.
Aug 18, 2024 Elisha Freeman — C.S. Lewis once said, ‘I did not go to religion to make me happy. I always knew a bottle of Port wold do that. If you want religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don’t recommend Christianity.’ How could a religion rooted in the love of God make us feel uncomfortable? It is because Christianity requires us to deny ourselves. This morning we will explore the first real test of this self denial and that is the command of Jesus for us to be immersed [baptized] in water.
Dec 17, 2023 Elisha Freeman — The birth of Jesus is paramount to the Biblical narrative. If there is no virgin birth, then there is no life, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. In our text this morning, the Apostle Paul via inspiration of the Holy Spirit, will remind us that the birth of Jesus happened at the right time and was for the right reason.
Dec 10, 2023 Elisha Freeman — We reach our final message in the series entitled ‘In the Meantime’. As we await the second coming of Jesus, who and what kind of people are we to be? This morning the Scriptures remind us of a worth while life to aspire to live that will have a great impact on those who are not Christians.
Sep 10, 2023 — Elisha Freeman The Holy Spirit through John makes a bold statement about the reality of eternal life: Eternal life is accessible and can be lived now not just later. What does eternal life look like now? What is a visible fruit that someone has passed from spiritual death into spiritual life? Our sermon this morning will concentrate on these questions.
Nov 06, 2022 — Elisha Freeman As we continue our series entitled ‘We agree’, we come to the subject of baptism. A subject that comes with many questions and some confusion. What is baptism? Why is it important? What does it accomplish? Is baptism worth giving time and attention? This morning we will seek out the answers to these questions as we focus on the ‘One baptism’ of the New Testament.
