    The Peril Of Hardening Your Heart Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 25, 2021
     | 3,488 views

    Have you gotten used to saying "No" to God? It became a habit of the Children of Israel in the wilderness and ultimately resulted in an all-out rebellion against God that disqualified most of them from God's rest.

    Author, theologian and Professor Craig Keener tells how his mother asked him if he believed in an after-life at the age of nine, and he replied no. She agreed with him and told him how most intellectuals did as well. So he felt affirmed in his atheism. The problem was that such a worldview left ...read more

    Today, If You Hear His Voice . . . Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Feb 1, 2021
     | 3,910 views

    The possibility of falling away from Christ is greater than most of us think--no one is entirely immune from this awful outcome. It all begins with how we come to respond to God's voice, when we know He has spoken to us, and even in small things, choose to ignore Him.

    One of the great challenges of the pastoral profession is discerning who to help among those who are in evident financial need, and when to help them, and then how much to help them. Despite our best and most sincere efforts, pastors young and old, sometimes fail. I remember well the story of a ...read more

    No Turning Back Series

     | 6,548 views

    One of the most sobering warnings in all of Scripture is found in Hebrews 6. There is a great, even awful danger of making an irreversible and eternally destructive choice to abandon Christ. This passage stresses why you don't want to go there.

    This past year I faced a bit of a dilemma. My high school class, the class of 1970, was planning to celebrate its 50-year class reunion. I was invited. Would I go? That wasn’t the real dilemma. The real dilemma was that my spiritual father was on the organizing committee—yes, the fellow who ...read more

    Last Or First? Series

     | 2,562 views

    At the beginning of the new year and decade we must ask ourselves if there is any hint of anti-Christ in our hearts.

    New Year’s Eve 2019 Last or First? Our holy Scripture today is taken from the apostle John. The Gospel teaches about the beginning, and the letter tells us about the end. And both beginning and end must be centered on Our Lord Jesus Christ. In fact, everything we do in the new year, the new decade ...read more

    Heart Trouble

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jul 16, 2017
    based on 3 ratings
     | 13,099 views

    In his parable of the sower and the seed, Jesus shows us various kinds of spiritual heart trouble. From the story, we learn to share our faith indiscriminately, trust God to bring the growth, and cooperate with God in the growth he wants to bring in us.

    Matthew 13:3-9, 18-23 Heart Trouble Have you ever wondered why some seem to embrace God’s good news of salvation and others don’t? Have you ever wondered why God sends people to hell? Or maybe they send themselves there, as they reject the God who desires that all people be saved. Jesus used a ...read more

     | 10,736 views

    What is the Anointing? What does the scriptures say about the Anointing?

    The anointing according to the scriptures. 1 John 2:20-27 We are living in a time when many Christians view the biblical doctrine of the "anointing" as if it were a highly charged exhilarating or some kind of high voltage energy source or force that flows through the atmosphere, our ...read more

    Telling The Truth From A Lie Series

    There are those today, both outside, and unfortunately, inside the church, that are functioning like computer viruses. Through false teaching and unbiblical belief they are destroying the church.

    TELLING TRUTH FROM A LIE Text: 1 John 2:18-27 Introduction 1. Illustration: I remember hearing about computer viruses. Could a computer catch a germ? I then learned that computer viruses were often malicious programs, developed by evil-doers, to destroy computers. They are often downloaded ...read more

    Find Joy In The Journey - Love - 1 John 2 Series

    Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Feb 10, 2019
     | 5,654 views

    The discovery of Love and the actions of love opens up our eyes to see Jesus, to hear Jesus and to touch Jesus, but the action of hate causes us to be blind to Jesus, deaf to Jesus and out of touch with Jesus. Love puts us in the light while hate traps us in darkness.

    Transition Video: Dennis Swanberg – Easter Sunday Series: Find Joy in the Journey in 2019 Thesis of series: Joy needs to be experienced in the journey of life! But Joy, like any other attitude, can come and go. It is not guaranteed simply because we are born again believers. We must put ourselves ...read more

    Breaking Point: Faith That Saves Vs. Faith That Doesn't Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 10, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,886 views

    At the height of popularity, Jesus makes hard statements that thin the crowds. He says many of his disciples didn't really believe. And they fell away. What's the difference between the faith that saves and the kind of faith that doesn't? This story reveals that truth.

    I’m sure that there are many of us here who have known or encountered people who were strong Christians from everything we could tell, but who have, for one reason or another, fallen away from the faith. They no longer claim to believe, they do not practice what Christ taught, they no longer ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 200 views

    Who do you say Jesus is? Not just with your lips, but with your heart, your life, and your soul. Scripture warns us—not everyone who speaks the name of Jesus knows the real Jesus. Some deny Him, others distort Him, and some even deceive themselves.

    Go! And Confess the True Christ - 1 John 2:22 “And who is a liar? Anyone who says that Jesus is not the Christ. Anyone who denies the Father and the Son is an antichrist.” Introduction: Knowing the Real Jesus Matters Church, I want to begin with a question that echoes through eternity: Who do you ...read more

    Hold Fast To The Truth Series

     | 762 views

    Paul wrote to enlighten the believers who were in the midst of confusion. We learn to be discerning, to love the truth, and to contend for the faith.

    2 Thess 2:1-5 Hold Fast to the Truth 2 Thess 2:1-3a 1 Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to Him, we ask you, brothers, 2 not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the ...read more

    Purpose, Please Stand Up

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 12, 2025
     | 90 views

    Purpose rises when God’s word defines us, God’s anointing empowers us, and we step into the valley knowing the battle belongs to the Lord.

    There are moments in Scripture when God doesn’t whisper purpose—He shakes it into the bones of His people. And one of those moments erupts in 1 Samuel 17 when a young shepherd boy, overlooked by his family and underestimated by everyone else, stands on a battlefield and shouts a question that ...read more

    Is There Not A Cause?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026
     | 80 views

    God’s word is never idle—it creates purpose and calls for response. Like David, we are not defined by the roles others assign us, but by the word God has spoken over our lives. When that word becomes a cause, faith moves from observation to obedience.

    As David stood in the Valley of Elah, the battle between Israel and the Philistines was nearing a breaking point. For forty days, the giant Goliath had stepped forward to issue his challenge, defying the armies of the living God. And for forty days, no one answered him. The silence was not caused ...read more
