Latest Sermons from Pastor Bill Payne

Prayer opens closed doors -january 11, 2026

  
Prayer is a major theme in the Bible. When we examine the example of Jesus, we will see that it is the primary way to know God, to hear his voice, and to align ourselves with his will. IRT the last one, prayer is spiritual warfare. 

look for the star -january 4, 2026

  
God wants everyone to find Jesus. Angels helped the shepherds come to him and God sent a star to bring the Magi. Rev 12 gives us a better picture of the event. 

amazing love -December 21, 2025

  
When everything is said and done, "God loves you" is the gospel. He shows us his love by sending his one and only Son to die on the cross so we can be reconciled to him and saved from our sins. 

leaping for joy-December 14, 2025

  
Hope tells us that God has a plan. The plan is revealed to us through prophecy and the word of God. As we realize that God is working in all things for our good, we download his peace. Peace is a gift that is based on a vision that comes with faith. As peace percolates in our souls, we overflow with joy. Joy is not happiness. It is a deep and abiding realization of God's presence. 

prince of peace-December 7, 2025

  
To have peace, we must have hope in God's promises to us. Peace surrenders our desire to control our outcomes to God. It lets God be in charge 

messiah hope november 30, 2025

  
The Jewish people read their scriptures to inform their hope as they waited for the arrival of the Messiah. Similarly, God wants us to read the scriptures with hope as we look forward to Jesus' second arrival. 

god provides -november 23, 2025

  
On Thanksgiving, we look at the founding of America and thank God for providing for us. He always provides. That is why we pray, "Give us this day our daily bread." 

deliver us from evil -November 16, 2025

  
Jesus tells us to pray for the Father to deliver us from the Evil One. In his ministry, Jesus showed us that he defeated Satan and is giving us victory over him. 

god heals -November 9, 2025

  
Healing is a sign of the kingdom and a means by which Jesus destroys the work of Satan. He gives the church the calling and the ability to pray for the sick. 

all things new -November 4, 2025

  
Jesus declared, "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." The process began at his baptism. It concludes in Rev 21 when "He makes all things new." 

all hail king jesus-october 26, 2025

  
Jesus is the Lord of heaven and earth and the commander of the heavenly armies! 

BLAZE OF GLORY-october 19, 2025

  
Elijah went to heaven in a blaze of glory. Preparing for heaven is the ultimate reality and should be our primary focus in life. This sermon talks about heaven. 

jubilee jesus-october 12, 2025

  
Jesus began his public ministry on Sept 28, 25 AD, according to the Essene Jubilee calendar. We are in the 2,000-year window. That is worth celebrating. 

Blaze of Glory-September 28, 2025

  
Elijah went to heaven in a blaze of glory. Preparing for heaven is the ultimate reality and should be our primary focus in life. This sermon talks about heaven. 

no other name-September 22, 2025

 King Ahaziah went to Baal Zebub when he needed a healing instead of to God. That was a mistake. Go to Jesus. 

God Speaks Truth-September 15, 2025

 In the same way that a microscope allows us to see the invisible world of microscopic life, the Bible shows us the spiritual realm.  It is true in what it says. 

The God of the Mountains Is the God of the Valley-September

 Baal Hadad was the god of the mountains. However, the God of gods destroyed him on Mount Carmel. In the aftermath, the enemies of Israel said that God could not defeat them in the plains. God showed them that he was the God of everything and is God everywhere. 

god loves-August 31, 2025

 Jesus loves you. 

god forgives -August 24, 2025

 A good God must punish evil and sin. However, a loving God desires to be reconciled to sinners. God accomplished both through Jesus' death on the cross.
