Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Mar 13, 2010

Abram knew that things went haywire in Egypt and that he got it wrong. At this altar there is real indication of REPENTANCE as he CALLS UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD. We don't have any recorded words of this prayer, but we see it his WORDS AND ACTIONS towards

Part 1 - Matthew 12:1-3 - Jesus Broke The Law! Why Can't I? Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Sep 15, 2010

In Matthew 12:1-2 isn't Jesus just IGNORING parts of the law that He doesn't like? Is He walking to the EDGE of the law to explore where the BOUNDARIES really are? Is He the kind of person who would drive past a policeman just over the SPEED LIMIT or leav

Message In 1peter – Number 3 – Deviation From Sanctification – 1peter 3:15-16 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 9, 2023

Even the smallest deviation will cause us to miss the mark. We are to sanctify Christ as Lord in our hearts because God is holy. We must be holy as well. Do we know the bible well enough so that we can give an answer to all who ask about the hope that we have? Ours is a glorious hope.

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 2, 2022

The great "I AM the Vine - You are the branches" is all about God's best for you. It teaches us about bearing fruit and being more productive for God. That may involve discipline where God has to deal with unproductive branches.

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 29, 2022

Paul calls us to holiness and purity and explains all that. Neither are we to defraud one another. He is very direct with the Thessalonians. Sexual sin must not be entertained as it destroys sanctification.

How To Receive A Royal Reward Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

How do we receive this royal reward? James says the road to this reward is the road of endurance. Kings only want tried men in their army, and so how much more does the King of Kings want tried men and women to serve with Him?

In modern educational psychology we read such statements as, "Learning takes place only when the act that is performed is reinforced or rewarded." And, "Without reward, people fail to learn." Educators are more and more realizing that rewards play a major part in teaching that ...read more

Why Does Jonah Run From God, And Choose Death Over Life? (Jonah 1:1-16) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Aug 25, 2022

A reading of Jonah, that lets the book tell the story at its own pace.

Part of being a pastor or teacher in any church, is having this desire deep inside of you to teach through the book of Jonah. You can't help yourself. It preaches too well; it's too good of a story to ignore. Plus, every pastor knows the OT is hard and scary, but they also know they are ...read more

Our Refuge And Strength Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Dec 26, 2021

This is a sermon for Epiphany Sunday. I've linked Psalm 46 with the hymn "We Three Kings" as a way of reminding ourselves who this child/King is why He is worthy of any all the gifts we have to give Him.

Samuel could tell by the look on their faces that the elders weren’t making a social call to inquire about his health … and he was right. One of the elders cleared his throat. “Samuel … you are getting old and, well, no offense but we’re more than a little concerned about the future of our ...read more
