    Face Cloth Neatly Folded

    Contributed by Jerry Smith on Jun 28, 2021
     | 3,286 views

    The neat folding of the face cloth gives further evidence to me that Jesus calmly and deliberately unwrapped Himself of His grave clothes and walked out of the tomb.

    I would like to see a show of hands, who makes their bed every day? I figured there would be someone who does it. You are the kind of person who should really appreciate what Jesus did in the tomb after His resurrection. I know this isn’t Easter Sunday, but I wanted to share with you something I ...read more

    Difference Between Grace And Mercy

    Contributed by Jerry Smith on Jun 28, 2021

     | 9,837 views

    Not long ago, my wife Jane, asked me what was the difference between grace and mercy? I began rattling off some stuff, but soon realized I didn’t really know the difference either. I have researched it and found an answer.

    Let me share with you the difference between grace and mercy. I. Definitions A. Mercy is compassion shown to a law breaker or enemies. Mercy is not getting what we deserve. We deserve Hell for our sin, but God shows us mercy because of Jesus. This story will put mercy into a life situation: A ...read more

    Layers Of An Onion

    Contributed by Jerry Smith on Jun 28, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,702 views

    I was originally drawn to this passage because of this conversation between Jesus and Peter. I wanted to understand the deeper meaning of what was being said here. I have learned that and much more. I found four layers to the onion.

    Have any of you tried a fried blooming onion? They taste great. If you haven’t had one - they cut open a sweet Vidalia onion and dip it in batter and deep fry it and all the layers spread out. You are probably wondering why I am talking about onions and making everyone hungry; it is because onions ...read more

    Edom's False Security Series

    Contributed by Jerry Smith on Mar 19, 2021
     | 3,567 views

    What gave the Edomites their arrogance and false sense of security?

    we began a new study in the one-chapter Old Testament book of Obadiah. Historians do not know anything about him personally other than he wrote this prophesy. It is a little odd that this book is included in the OT writings, because it is not written to the nation of Israel, but to Edom. The ...read more

    Open Your Heart's Door To Jesus Series

    Contributed by Jerry Smith on Mar 18, 2021
     | 3,579 views

    Many people have used this verse evangelically; however, its true context is for Christians. Jesus is speaking to the Church members of Laodicea to let Him into their life for fellowship and worship and not only religious pretense.

    This is my last message on the theme of doors in the Bible. Our text is Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. (I put on screen pictures of painting - artist depictions of this ...read more

    Sin Crouching At The Door Series

    Contributed by Jerry Smith on Mar 18, 2021
     | 5,783 views

    The phrase “sin crouching at the door” the KJV has “lies at the door” depicts a wild animal such as a lion, ready to pounce on you. This is the word picture about the attack of sin. This word picture is not a literal door, but portrays Cain’s heart as a door.

    Cain was the first human to ever be born on earth. His parents, Adam and Eve, both had special creation births. Many parents will read this story of Cain and remember what it was like to wait for the birth of their first child. So many hopes and dreams are wrapped up in that little baby who is your ...read more

    The Liberation Of Peter From Prison Series

    Contributed by Jerry Smith on Mar 18, 2021
     | 6,728 views

    God works a miracle opening physical doors for Peter. The miracle you need may not be physical doors, but God can open all doors according to His will.

    We continue our study of doors in the Bible. We have studied: • God shutting the door of the Ark • The figurative open door of opportunity to the church of Philadelphia • Jesus symbolically being the Door to Salvation • We are to choose to enter the door to the narrow road to Heaven • Today we ...read more

    The Open Door Of Opportunity Series

     | 6,682 views

    Has God opened a door of opportunity to you ? Then seize the moment! Step out in faith and experience all God has designed to bless you with.

    Many of you will remember the game show “let’s make a deal”. In this game show the show’s host, Monty Hall, would often give people the option of choosing what was behind 3 doors. The reason I draw this to your attention is because the Lord Jesus opened a door of opportunity to the church in ...read more

    Jesus Is The Door To Salvation Series

    Contributed by Jerry Smith on Mar 18, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,508 views

    Jesus said, “I AM the Door”! Not that I am like a door or one of many doors – it is short and clear – I AM the Door!

    Please turn to John 10:1-10. There are many diamonds to mine in this passage. Come and see. I.

    God Shut The Door Series

    Contributed by Jerry Smith on Mar 18, 2021
     | 7,567 views

    Once the time was right for the flood, God gathered Noah and his family and all the animals into the ark and God shut the door to the ark.

    I am going to begin a new series of messages today. I think from the picture you can figure out what the theme is going to be – doors. I began researching doors in the Bible and discovered the word door is used around 260 times. Many of those times it refers to an actual door or doorway, but in ...read more

    If you are not familiar with this doxology, you are in for a treat. We may have labored through Jude’s various descriptions of the false teachers, but we can now feel his ecstasy of praise for the Lord.

    We close out our study of Jude tonight. Please join me in verses 24 and 25. If you are not familiar with this doxology, you are in for a treat.

    In this lesson Jude is going to shift from his denunciation of the false teachers to exhortation of the saints.

    We move into Jude 1:17-19. In this lesson Jude is going to shift from his denunciation of the false teachers to exhortation of the saints. 17 But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. Jude comes back to the use of the words, “dear friends or beloved”. He has ...read more

    Jude makes reference to three events in the OT that I want to make sure you understand those events and how they relate to what he is teaching in this epistle.
