    Man's Eyes Are Opened Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Oct 2, 2023
     | 1,244 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
     | 525 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

    Passionate Prayer

    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
     | 589 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

    Conviction - How Strong Is Yours?

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Sep 13, 2023
     | 1,253 views

    In the Bible, through his actions and prayers, Daniel gives us a powerful example of what it looks like to live unashamed in a culture that sees no need to live righteously and obediently for God's glory.

    We live in a culture that's becoming more and more antagonistic toward anyone who follows Christ. In the Bible, through his actions and prayers, Daniel gives us a powerful example of what it looks like to live unashamed in a culture that sees no need to live righteously and obediently for ...read more

     | 823 views

    This passage shatters man’s concept of himself, but it’s a passage that has to be studied very carefully because it is one of the shocking truths revealed by Jesus.

    READ passage. This passage shatters man’s concept of himself, but it’s a passage that has to be studied very carefully because it is one of the shocking truths revealed by Jesus. Depravity means that a person is always short of God’s glory, and is always coming short of God, and is always ...read more

    Stand Strong

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 29, 2023
     | 1,605 views

    Our battle against the devil is a spiritual battle, but God equips us with what we need. God strengthens us as we make use of the resources He has already provided us that Paul calls the full armor of God.

    We have several in our church family that have served our country in the military. For all of you that have served, you know how important it is to be trained for battle. During the closing months of World War II, Nazi Germany became so desperate that they initiated the Volksturm, the people's ...read more

    Recovering From Temptation

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 23, 2023
     | 714 views

    The message given to us in Psalm 32 is that there is greater joy in uncovering our sin and finding forgiveness than in trying to cover up our sin. And a right view of God allows us to do just that.

    Anyone who has ever purchased a home knows that there is a big difference in what the buyer or the seller sees and what a certified home inspector sees. We may try to look beyond the things that appeal to us like the layout of the house, the size of the bedrooms, and so forth, and see a crack in a ...read more

    Man's Enslavement To Sin Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 23, 2023
     | 593 views

    Prejudice, hate, unforgiveness, loneliness and others are bad qualities that separate us from God. If we have any of these bad qualities, then we are not abiding in God’s Word.

    Jesus is talking with the Pharisees. He has just said in v. 32 – “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” We ended last time talking about how we are bound by our sins. We talked specifically about prejudice, hate, unforgiveness, loneliness and others. And we said that if we ...read more

    Putting Things Before God

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 15, 2023
     | 1,129 views

    Jesus was tempted to exalt Himself in a way that was not right. Today we're going to talk a little bit about exalting ourselves above God or putting something else before God.

    If you don't toot your own horn, who will? Have you ever heard that before? Let's face it, we really enjoy those moments when good things happen to us. We feel good when we've accomplished something. And with those good experiences, we naturally want to tell others about it. ...read more

    Failure To Understand The Light

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 14, 2023
     | 554 views

    So, with all these claims that Jesus has made, we find that people of every generation blurt out the same question, “Who are you?” Well, Jesus answers that question.

    Tonight, we continue with Jesus’ discussion with the Pharisees. READ v. 25. Man asks a very basic question. Now Jesus had just made a phenomenal claim that He was the Light of the world. Of course, His claim shocked the Pharisees as well as others. And when you recap what Jesus had told these ...read more

    Tempted To Test God

     | 1,318 views

    God puts us through tests at times to strengthen our faith. But have you ever been tempted to test God?

    A few weeks ago we talked about how God puts us through tests at times to strengthen our faith. But have you ever been tempted to test God? I came across this story about a little boy that tested God. It was on the first day of elementary school. New central air conditioning units had finally ...read more

    Relying On Self

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 2, 2023
     | 1,159 views

    Nowadays, it's all about instant gratification. It has become a reality. But advertisers weren't the first to use this strategy. From the beginning, Satan has used instant gratification in his bag of tricks to entice us.

    Were any of you tempted this past week? Sure, you were! If you watched any TV or listened to the radio you were more than likely tempted to purchase something. Advertisers often make self-indulgence a part of their marketing strategies. They say we'll be happier if we drive this vehicle, use ...read more

    Search For Utopia And Light Series

     | 338 views

    Man searches for a great deliverer on earth. He looks for the Messiah, that is, for someone who can lead him to utopia and light and heaven.

    Tonight’s study will not be as long as others have been. We are only going to look at 4 verses tonight. READ whole passage. Jesus has just tried to explain to the Pharisees that He is the Light of the world. Of course, they didn’t believe it. The Pharisees had just asked Jesus to show them His ...read more

    What Is The Source Of Temptation?

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 26, 2023
     | 962 views

    The sermon title asks, What is the Source of Temptation? Just who is it who lures us into sin? We immediately want to say Satan and blame him. We say, “the devil made me do it,” but the answer is a bit closer to home. Thankfully, the solution is as close as prayer.

    For the next few weeks I would like to talk about temptation. What is it that tempts you? Is it food? We all have a favorite food. We get a whiff of it, and our mouth starts watering. It's so tempting. The urge to take a bite of cake may not necessarily be a bad thing, but we're often ...read more
