Latest Sermons from Pastor Bill Payne

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. 

god calls -August 17, 2025

 In the same way that Elijah called Elisha to follow him, Jesus calls us to be his disciples. A disciple is an apprentice. Are you following Jesus? 

God Understands Depression -August 10, 2025

  
Elijah was depressed! About 30% of Americans will suffer from depression at some point. It's not a sin or a sign of bad spirituality. In fact, God works through the "dark night of the soul" to make you a better person. 

God Hears Our Prayers -August 3, 2025

  
Elijah called down fire from heaven to defeat Baal. Afterward, he needed to call down rain to save the people. God answered his prayer. 

god wins - July 27, 2025

 The story between Elijah and Ahab shows divine conflict. In the end, God beats Ba'al and shows the Israelites that he is superior. Thus, he calls them back to himself. This is a spiritual warfare theme. 

god cares - July 20, 2025

 Even when we think God does not see us or care about us, He is standing beside us with wide-open arms. You can trust God's love. 

God has a plan - July 13, 2025

God is always at work to bring about his purposes in our lives. Even when you don't see him, he is still working. 

God Saves - July 6, 2025

God judged Israel so the people would return to him. Love motivated his actions. The same love motivates the Father today. 

 When we acknowledge that God is working together in all things for our good, we realize that he turns our disappointments and "what ifs" into positives. 

 The Holy Spirit continues to draw large numbers of people to God.  

 On Pentecost Sunday, we celebrate the living presence of the Holy Spirit as he blows on us and gives us spiritual life. 

As the Lamb of God, Jesus shed his blood for our salvation. His blood is more powerful than an earthquake or a supernova. A drop can cleanse an ocean of sin. 

    Never take your eyes off of Jesus.

Mother's Day service 2025

   A house is a building, but a home is a family.
