March 8, 2026 - Deacon Tim Darnell preached today about the relationship that walking with God implies. Amos 3:3 pointed out that walking with someone requires shared direction and purpose. When we walk with God, we place His will over our earthly pursuits. We prepare for that fellowship daily. We need to let the Holy Spirit lead, and open our hearts to believe.
Luke 24:13-34, 2 Corinthians 5:7, Micah 6:8
March 1, 2026 - Deacon Tim Darnell preached about the spiritual questions many people are troubled with. Is hell a lie? How do we know there is heaven? Or hell? What have you seen or experienced that makes you doubt? In Psalm 139:7, David acknowledges that God is evident in everything. "Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?" The truth is that non-believers are separate from God spiritually although his works are all around them. Isaiah 55:8-9 reminds us that we may not understand God's purpose but he always cares. We need to read the Bible and go to God in prayer with our questions. He will reveal for us in the quiet moments.
February 22, 2025 - Deacon Tim Darnell preached on the many ways we are tempted and the ways God has provided to protect us from these errors. Most importantly, we need to know the scriptures as Jesus did to defend against temptations. It is our fleshly nature that makes us vulnerable, but even that has guidance in the Bible. Worship God and him only. Don't put anything in life ahead of God. Get your priorities straight.
1 Corinthians 10:13, Psalm 19:11, James 1:13, 1 John 2:16
February 15, 2026 - Our guest pianist today was Cheryl Cheatham playing "It is well with my soul". Our speaker was Gideon missionary Carroll Putnam who told the ways a Bible in every hotel room and 5th grade or college student's hands has made a difference in the spiritual life of people when they need it the most. Deacon Tim Darnell reinforced the message.
February 8, 2026 - Deacon Tim Darnell preached on the Biblical need for a day of rest. God gave us the example in Genesis 2:1-3 when after all He had created, He rested. And God commanded a day of rest from all work in Deuteronomy 5:12-15. The Sabbath was a holy day for the Lord. As Christians we rest in Christ on his resurrection day. In Psalm 46:10 God said, "Be still and know that I am God." We must rest, unplug from the world and reconnect with our creator.
