    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Dec 19, 2023
     | 892 views

    Just about everyone wants to go home for Christmas. Come Christmas time, we get this inner yearning to go back home. It’s as though we want to revisit our days of growing up. We want to go back to the place where all of our childhood memories were made.

    Christmas Eve. Can you believe it? Today we come together to celebrate the day before the anticipated arrival of our Savior. Let’s start there with that well known story of the birth of Jesus. PRAYER Luke 2:1-20 – “And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus ...read more

    This message is based upon the song "Mary Did You Know" by Mark Lowry.

    Today is the 4th Sunday of Advent. So far, during these weeks of Advent, as we anticipate the celebration of Jesus’ birth, we have talked about HOPE, JOY, & PEACE. Today we look at LOVE.

    Christmas Peace

     | 3,302 views

    On this 3rd Sunday of Advent, God speaks to our hearts about Christmas Peace. The Apostle Paul explained God’s peace as a “peace that surpasses all understanding.” But let’s take a few moments today and look at peace as presented to us in God’s Word.

    Today marks the 3rd week of Advent. Our Advent season began with us talking about Christmas HOPE. We learned that our HOPE is in the fact that our Savior has come. God showed us that the reality of Christmas is the fact that our Savior has come. The miracle of Christmas is also that our Savior ...read more

    Common Ways To Lead An Uncommon Life Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Nov 28, 2023
     | 992 views

    Sometimes we see the big picture of how having faith in Christ leads to heaven but we miss the fact that He has so much to say about our every-day life.

    When God became man in the person of Jesus He came to earth as regular people. He wasn’t surrounded in thunderbolts, He wasn’t wearing a halo around His head. He came into this world as the helpless child of an everyday couple. He skinned his knuckles in the carpenter’s shop of his stepfather ...read more

    Christmas Hope

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Nov 28, 2023
     | 3,205 views

    If we don’t allow the hustle and bustle of the world’s hectic race to find the perfect gift, and if we step back and look at the real reason we celebrate, our hearts are happier. We smile more. Hopefully we get a little bit closer to those we love, not always, but we can hope for that.

    Can you believe it? It seems like yesterday that we were in the advent season. For those that may not know what Advent is, Advent is the 4 Sundays after Thanksgiving that lead up to Christmas day. This year there are actually 5 Sundays between Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. So, our Advent ...read more

    Miracles - Do You Believe In Them?

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Nov 7, 2023
     | 645 views

    Somehow some people can ignore what's right in front of their faces if it doesn't correspond to what they already believe.

    Can you think of a time when you were part of an unbelievable moment? Can you think of a time when you saw a miracle? Throughout my time as pastor here at SEBC I have experienced many miracles. One that immediately comes to mind occurred a few years ago. I received a call from a man's family ...read more

    Does It Matter What Truth You Believe?

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Nov 1, 2023
     | 1,257 views

    With all the false doctrine in the world today, does it matter which truth we choose to believe?

    Many of us here today grew up in a world that was fairly simple. The things that we saw on television, read in the paper, or were taught in school were real facts and events that were happening or had happened in history. The world we live in today is a lot different. We're given little ...read more

    Are You Prepared For The Battle?

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,785 views

    We need to be aware of the spiritual battle that takes place every time we pray.

    In January 1944, the US army created the ghost army. Their purpose was to trick the forces of Nazi Germany about the size and location of the allied forces. The ghost army would inflate rubber tanks, jeeps, trucks, and all other kinds of armaments and camouflage them so well that Nazi air patrols ...read more

    Confession - Is It A Good Thing?

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Oct 16, 2023
     | 696 views

    This message is worded to help understand the importance of confession in regards to our relationship with God.

    Today, let’s talk a bit about confession. Is it a good thing? What is your favorite place to hide when you don’t want to be found? Do you remember when you were little playing hide and seek? Have you ever watched a small child play hide and seek? The small ones are usually not really good at ...read more

    Courageous

     | 1,009 views

    Just like the runners in the Boston marathon, Christians should expect that there will be, at some point, opposition that will test us—our endurance, perseverance, and our principles.

    Has anyone here this morning ever ran a marathon? A marathon is always measured at 26.2 Miles. Have you ever heard of heartbreak hill? In the Boston Marathon, at mile 20, the runners come to what is called heartbreak Hill. Heartbreak Hill is the final incline of the Boston marathon. Even though ...read more

    Man's Eyes Are Opened Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Oct 2, 2023
     | 1,178 views

    Jesus is the perfect revelation of God and man’s spiritual eyes can be opened to see God but only through Jesus. Apart from Jesus, no man will ever see God.

    Tonight, we look at John 9 concerning the opening of man’s eyes. Man is spiritually blind, and our eyes need to be opened. The mission of Jesus is to open our eyes. In tonight’s passage, Jesus takes a man’s physical blindness and demonstrates the stages of spiritual insight and sight. By ...read more

    Always Speak The Truth

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Oct 2, 2023
     | 509 views

    Today we're going to use the Book of Daniel once again, chapter 5, to talk about always speaking the truth.

    Do you ever hesitate to tell the truth? Sometimes we do because we figure it would cause less of a disturbance if we just kept our mouth shut. Sometimes speaking the truth in love is not so easy to do. For instance, you have a good friend and you see your friend wearing a t-shirt that says ...read more

    We have access to resources far more powerful than the internet. Yet, we choose instead to trust our wisdom and our ability.

    Technology can be an amazing instrument when we need help. I needed to install a new cabin filter in my car and I wanted to make sure I did it correctly. So, I searched YouTube and it gave me step by step instructions of how to do it. Through the internet, we have pretty much a direct line to ...read more

    Man's Escape From Death Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Sep 19, 2023
     | 577 views

    There is a sure way to escape death. Jesus makes it clear how.

    In v. 51 of our passage tonight, Jesus makes an astounding claim—a person doesn’t have to die. We can all escape death. We, as Christians, know what Jesus meant by this, but the world doesn’t understand. It’s up to us to show them what Jesus meant. READ v. 48-50. I guess since Jesus has just ...read more
