The Effective Servant

What does it take to be an effective servant in God's Kingdom? Today we will look at Mark 9:38-50 to find out. But first, our time of praise. We sang "Refiner's Fire" and "Glorify Thy Name."

The First Shall Be Last

What is the secret to success? Maybe not what you think. In today's message we explore why those who put "self" last are successful in God's eyes. In our time of praise we sang "I Will Serve Thee" and "Shout to the Lord". Sorry about the camera angle.

Who do you say Jesus Is?

This week's message raises the most important question you could answer in your life: Who do you say Jesus is? In the sermon I share my personal experience of coming to grips with this question as a college student at West Liberty State College.

During our time of praise we sang "I have decided to follow Jesus."

This morning's message is : "Who do you say Jesus Is?"

Be Opened

Have you ever felt trapped? Directionless? Sick and tired of being sick and tired? Today's message relates how Jesus can release us from our personal prisons.

During our time of praise we sang "Isn't He" and "Draw Me Close to You."
