At The Cross - The Cross & Forgiveness Series
Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 15, 2002
The Cross of Jesus tells us things we need to know, but we’re not sure we want to hear.
Several years ago, I was driving through downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana. It was a 4 lane, one way street that I had traveled several times before. I was going the speed limit (maybe a little faster) when I saw the light up ahead turn yellow. I thought to myself, "I can make that light if I just speed ...read more

Just As If I Had Never Sinned
Contributed by David Lansdown on Jul 9, 2002
We need to be justified. "Just as if I had never sinned" is what justified basically means – and that is the title I have given to this sermon.
JUST AS IF I HAD NEVER SINNED Rom 3:9-31 INTRODUCTION Q. What direction does a Polar Bear, in its natural habitat, look when it looks back? Looks to the right? Looks to the left? And when it looks straight ahead? A. In each case it was looking South. It’s on the North Pole! Q. What does a ...read more

Nutgrass Of The Soul
Contributed by Cynthia Hinson on Jul 6, 2002
Tough, arrogant and persistent, sin (like nutgrass) will (in Malachi’s words) be burnt to stubble to make way for the Kingdom. Don’t be childish -- our faith is not a game. The prophets have warned us -- and now, someone greater than a prophet is here.

What Black History Means To Me
Contributed by Pastor Charles Wilkins on Feb 5, 2026
Black history is not a sidebar in America’s story; it’s a sacred chapter in God’s story. It’s chains breaking while prayers rise, faith whispered in fields, hope sung in spirituals, and courage passed down when tomorrow felt forbidden.
What Black History Means to Me Theme Scripture: Psalm 44:1 – “We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.” As Christians, we have much to consider, learn from, and celebrate during Black History Month. When President ...read more

Giving Up Lent For Lent
Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Feb 23, 2015
I am giving up Lent for Lent this year, at least the way the Church typically does Lent. Lord is not interested in what I give up for just 40 days and return to it. He is interested in me giving up the sins in my life which will make Easter more joyous
TITLE: GIVING UP LENT FOR LENT SCRIPTURE: ST LUKE 9:22-24 / II CORINTHIANS 13:5-6 Although Easter is the most significant of the Christian holidays it does not enjoy the kind of enthusiastic fanfare afforded Christmas or even Thanksgiving. Lent is a forty-day period before Easter. It begins on ...read more
