    Reviving A People For The Lord

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Feb 14, 2025
     | 283 views

    As we enter late winter and early spring, many assemblies are preparing for their ‘Gospel Meeting’ or ‘Revival’. Advertisements for their dates, time and place are sent out. From past knowledge, how successful were these meetings? Can improvement be made to increase its efficiency?

    As we enter late winter and early spring, many assemblies are preparing for their ‘Gospel Meeting’; as some may say, ‘Revival’. Advertisements for their dates, time and place are sent out.

    How can we "maintain" unity in a world of churches that divide and split as a matter of course?

    The story is told about a poor church in Tennessee back in the early 1900s. The congregation had had a terrible argument… and (sadly) there was a split. They couldn’t stand each other., however, neither side could afford to leave and build their own church building. And so they both continued ...read more

    The Challenge To Love Much  Series

    Contributed by John Dobbs on Feb 13, 2025
     | 424 views

    Our text today does not contain a miracle as such. The setting is a much more relaxed atmosphere - dinner at Simon’s house. The Pharisees play a major role in the story of Jesus.

    The Challenge to Love Much    Luke 7:36-50 Introduction Last week we saw Jesus demonstrate amazing powers as he healed the centurion’s servant at a distance and raised the son of the widow of Nain. The miracles of Jesus serve to: -Show us his great love and compassion for ...read more

     | 379 views

    The song “A Beautiful Name” emphasizes that God made us, but sin carried us away. Yet, He didn’t leave us lost. He came, paid the price with His own life, and redeemed us. He redeemed us by the Name of Jesus Christ.

    Are You Ready To Meet The Angel Of Death? Series

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Feb 10, 2025
     | 275 views

    When the Angel of Death comes down after you, can you smile and say that you have been true. Can you truthfully say with your dying breath, that you're ready to meet the Angel of Death.

    Several decades ago a music artist sang a song titled, ‘Angel Of Death’. It is about being ready when your time comes to die. Jesus told his disciples “Be ye therefore ready also;” Let us notice the words of this song. "Angel Of Death" In the great book of John You're warned of the ...read more

    The Gospel In Plain Language

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Feb 10, 2025
     | 373 views

    Many salesmen are trained to speak in such a way that they can convince people to buy things that they don’t need, don’t want, can’t really afford, to impress people they don’t really like. But when the apostle Paul was preaching the gospel, he wasn't like that.

    Alba 2-9-2024 THE GOSPEL IN PLAIN LANGUAGE I Corinthians 2:1-5 I’m sure most of us here have encountered a slick talking, smooth speaking, silver tongued, spell binding salesman. You know the type. And somewhere between the “I’m not interested”, and “I’ll take two”, something happens and we’re ...read more

    Contributed by David Owens on Feb 10, 2025
     | 823 views

    The presence of pain and suffering in the world do not take away from God's goodness or power. God's answer to suffering is the cross and the resurrection.

    Introduction: A. There is a movie scene in which a young brother and sister experienced the death of a beloved kitten. 1. The children had prayed fervently that the cat would get well, but unfortunately, it had died. 2. The children couldn’t understand why this had happened, so they decided that ...read more

    We are all dead in ours sins, but God... rich in mercy, out of His love brought us to life in Christ through grace so that we can do good works? How does it all tie together? Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister, Scott Jewell.

    Read the text and pray. When I read this passage, my mind jumps to the fictional movie, Sixth Sense. You may recall that it’s about a young boy who is very troubled, which has his single mom very concerned about him. He begins seeing a therapist and, after a while, he finally confides in the ...read more

    Sometimes to truly understand something, it’s easier to look at and compare it to its exact opposite. What would you say is the exact opposite of love? How about hate? In this Sermon we look at what 1 John says about love and hate.

    By a show of hands, who is going for the Chiefs tonight? Who is going for the Eagles? Who could care less? You know, it’s interesting how people can be so passionate for their favorite team in sports. But then I think about how passionate I can be for other things too. Like music. Like art.

    Rapture- True Or False? What Will Happen At The Lord's Second Coming

    Contributed by Robert Webb on Feb 3, 2025
     | 332 views

    There is cause for reservation about the popular conception of the rapture, especially in regard to the time element and manner in which it is commonly believed it will take place.

    The rapture is an intriguing subject and at the forefront of much thought. What is it? This is the teaching that the church will be "caught up" or raptured in the clouds with Jesus and the resurrected believers and be with the Lord forever. That much is taught very plainly in 1 ...read more
