     | 154 views

    This is a very solemn service. After all, the death and burial of Jesus was not a festive event. It was on this day of the week that Jesus was crucified, died, and was laid in the tomb.

    Welcome. Introduce guests. Instructions: Tonight is going to be a little different from most services that you are used to. A solemn occasion. It commemorates the crucifixion, the death, and burial of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As we begin our service, I emphasize that as the service ...read more

    Triumphant Even To Death

     | 309 views

    What a day of celebration. No one knew at that time what the end of this week would bring. Everyone was excited and looking forward to Jesus being possibly their new king. Only Jesus knew what Friday would bring.

    We've been discussing Jesus's mission and His ministry for the past few weeks. Through that ministry, Jesus expressed His love for everyone. His mission and His ministry would lead us to today, Palm Sunday, the first day of the last week of Jesus's life here on Earth in human form. We ...read more

    Jesus' Mission

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 25, 2024
     | 214 views

    Today, I thought I would start from the beginning of Jesus's ministry. Just what was His mission? Of course, we know what that mission was for us today. But in that day, the people had no idea what was about to happen.

    5 weeks from today it will be Easter. So, I thought that I would use the month of March to talk in detail about our Lord Jesus—my favorite subject. Today, I thought I would start from the beginning of Jesus's ministry. Just what was His mission? Of course, we know what that mission was for ...read more

     | 722 views

    If we think about it, if we go through a fearful time in our life, when all turns out okay and are settled, we tend to be joyful.

    For the past 3 weeks, we have been talking about having a reverent fear of God, about feeling secure from fear in the arms of God, and replacing our fear with courage. Today, we are going to talk about bringing it all together and turning our fears into joy. If we think about it, if we go through ...read more

    Courage, Not Fear

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Feb 13, 2024
     | 810 views

    The theme of this message—overcoming fear with courage. Jesus's disciples in Matthew 14 had the opportunity to exhibit courage, and we do too. The key is fixing our eyes on Jesus.

    Today I want us to look at replacing our fear with courage. Are any of you afraid of heights? I'll have to admit that I am one that is very afraid of heights. When I was in my teenage years, I was helping my dad and brother replace the water lines and sucker rods in his well. He had a ...read more

    Secure From Fear In The Arms Of God

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Feb 6, 2024
     | 563 views

    God spared no expense to show His love for us through Jesus. Nothing will keep us from God or the work He wants to do in our lives.

    Last week we began talking about fear. We have to admit that from time-to-time fear creeps in. If we're not really sure about something we might feel a little insecure or fearful about that situation. Over the years I have seen that kind of fear or anxiety at weddings that I perform. That ...read more

     | 596 views

    We all deal with fear from time to time. There is one fear that is not only necessary but can be beneficial: that is the fear of God.

    We all deal with fear from time to time. Some people give into fear, and some people do everything they can to avoid those things that make them afraid. As most of you know, I will be retiring on the last day of this year. Several have expressed a concern over that. Having a pastor for over 28 ...read more

    The Reality Of Hell

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jan 23, 2024
     | 916 views

    People often question what it takes to get to heaven. People question and wonder what heaven is really like. But you never really hear anyone ask about what hell is like. It makes me wonder if people even realize how real hell is.

    For the last couple of weeks you may have noticed that we have talked about Jesus being the only way to heaven and we considered the question “won't all people ultimately go to heaven?” People often question what it takes to get to heaven. People question and wonder what heaven is really like. ...read more

    Doesn't Everyone Go To Heaven?

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,461 views

    Our world today will try to convince people that ultimately everyone goes to heaven. God makes it very clear that is not the truth.

    I mentioned last Sunday that the world tries to convince people that there is more than one way to get to heaven. God showed us in Scripture that His Son Jesus told us very plainly that He is the way, the truth, and the life, and that no one gets to the father unless they go through Jesus. But ...read more
