“Woe to me if I do not preach the Gospel,” (1 Corinthians 9:16). We believe the same holds true for us. God has given us some very good news, and we will preach it as long we have breath. You can download either written manuscripts of past sermons or podcasts.

God and Uncle Sam - 2 Samuel 5:1-10
Pastor: Luke Maybry
It looks like South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford is finished. He might still technically be the governor, maybe even for another year and a half, but after all his escapades lately, his political authority is finished forever. Former North Carolina Governor Mike Easely is also finished. Fortunately for him, and us,… (more)

For All That We Have Lost - 2 Samuel 1:1, 17-27
Pastor: Luke Maybry
I grew up in the country, in beautiful Campobello, South Carolina, and I grew up with dogs. In my neighborhood, dogs ran free.

What Does God See? - 1 Samuel 15:34-16:13
Pastor: Luke Maybry
I am sure that most of you already know this, but we record these services on CDs every Sunday. Wray Moxely sits up there in that booth in the balcony and runs the sound system, and part of his job is to make the clearest recording as possible. You are more than welcome to ask him for a recording of any service that… (more)

The Bold Alternative - 1 Samuel 15: 1-23
Pastor: Luke Maybry
Leah and I lived in Texas from the time we were married, in November of 1999, until we moved back to the Carolinas in June of 2005. As you might already know, Texas had – and I think still has – a very active system of capitol punishment. It used to always shock me when I would read about an execution on the second page… (more)
