Dusty Bibles Grow Dirty Lives.

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Dec 15, 2020

Let us study the miracle of the Bible . 66 books, 39 Old Testament, 27 New Testament books. Written over a time period of 1,500 to 1,600 years by 35 to 40 authors. The Bible is worthless if we don't read and study it.

DUSTY BIBLES LEAD TO DIRTY LIVES By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. REGRETS, I HAVE A FEW? As I survey my life, we consider what are some of the biggest regrets we will have when we stand before our Creator, the MIGHTY, ETERNAL GOD. I can only imagine one of our ...read more

Part 3 – Genesis 18:1-15 – Who Were Those Masked Men, Anyway? Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jul 6, 2010

Genesis 18:1-2 (NLT) mysteriously speaks of 3 men who visit Abraham. WHO ARE THESE MASKED MEN? (OK, so they are not wearing literal masks but their real identities are masked from us. Who are they?)

Part 3 – Genesis 18:1-15 – WHO WERE THOSE MASKED MEN, ANYWAY? Some of you would have no idea of who I am talking about when I speak of the LONE RANGER. He is way before your time and he doesn’t fit into our culture anymore. Pity. He had a strict moral code and even the actor, ...read more

Romans 1:18-23 Why Is The World In Such A Terrible State? It’s In A Tailspin – Romans Message 3 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 25, 2023

This world is in disarray because of the weight of sin and departure from God. When the light of God is rejected, then darkness clasps the person’s hand, and leads him into its own dark domain. We look at the folly of idolatry, and the world in freefall.

Romans 1:18-23 WHY IS THE WORLD IN SUCH A TERRIBLE STATE? IT’S IN A TAILSPIN – Romans Message 3 [A]. INTRODUCTION We continue the series in Romans. Last time we looked at Paul’s obligation to the gospel and ended with the important verse 18 - {{Romans 1:18 “The WRATH of God is REVEALED from ...read more

Message 2 - 1 Thessalonians Chapter 2 - Paul Recounts His Time In Thessalonica And Satan’s Opposition Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 27, 2022

Paul shares his inner thoughts and heartfelt desire with the Thessalonians. His testimony was blameless as he laboured for the believers at Thessalonica, but he always encountered opposition. We look at walking with God.

Message 14 - 1 Thessalonians Chapter 5:19 – Do Not Quench The Holy Spirit; Do Not Grieve Him Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 5, 2023

This important message is a fundamental teaching about the Holy Spirit. We will examine the work of the Spirit in a believer’s life, and look at ways we can quench the work of the Spirit within. We look at a number of ways we can grieve the Spirit God gave us.

MESSAGE 14 - 1 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 5:19 – DO NOT QUENCH THE HOLY SPIRIT; DO NOT GRIEVE HIM This message is an extension of the previous one. We are now going to consider the quenching of the Spirit in fuller detail. {{1Thessalonians 5:19 “Do not quench the Spirit.”}} (NASB) Here is a ...read more

Message 16 - 1 Thessalonians Chapter 5:21 – Examine Carefully And Hold Fast To What Is Good – No Excuses! Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 7, 2023

We live in a world today where all the boundaries have been blurred and are increasingly, becoming blurred. We have no fixed point for marriage, no correct lines for morality, no division of good or bad in gender or behaviour or attitudes. We examine what GOOD is. Do good to all.

MESSAGE 16 - 1 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 5:21 – EXAMINE CAREFULLY AND HOLD FAST TO WHAT IS GOOD – NO EXCUSES! {{1Thessalonians 5:21 “but examine everything carefully.

The Three "onlys" All Worked Out (Joshua 21:43-45, 22:1-9) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 28, 2022

Joshua's book tension results from the 3 "onlys" of ch. 1. But they all work out: God is faithful, Joshua is brave, and the people obey.

When we started this study on Joshua, it was kind of overwhelming. How can you tell what you're supposed to focus on as you read? How can you tell what's important to the author? Usually what biblical authors do near the start of their books is give you some help in this. They'll ...read more

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 29, 2022

What is the relationship between leaders and laity? Their job, and our job.

Over the years, I've read my fair share of commentaries and academic journal articles on the Bible. I have never, ever, read more passionate-- and even angry-- scholars on any other subject, than I have on today's verses. At first, I was surprised by this-- amused, really, if I'm ...read more

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 19, 2022

God will purify his people, and in the end, the humble with live in peace with Him and each other.

When we read prophetic books, a lot of times, it's like reading a collection of sermons or a hymn book. If you strung together all of your pastor's sermons that he gave over the past year, and then read them all as a single message, they wouldn't make sense, right? He addresses ...read more

They are a large part of how you serve.

Let's start today by simply reading Ephesians 6:1: Children, obey your parents [in the Lord]. For this is right. Children, obey your parents. How should you obey them? Paul says, obey them "in the Lord." [I'LL PROBABLY TAKE THIS SECTION OUT WHEN ACTUALLY PREACHING. THIS ...read more

Here, Paul addresses their slogan ("good to not touch a woman") from the perspective of singleness, and marriage

Let's start today by reading 1 Corinthians 7:1: "Now concerning the things about which you wrote: "It is good for a man, a woman/wife not to touch." Paul here is quoting a Corinthian slogan. And what he's been doing, throughout chapter 7, is interacting with this slogan ...read more

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 9, 2020

What kind of characteristics did Ruth have that caused Boaz to be so amazed? Was he just a silly man captivated by a woman’s beauty? Was this the first woman he had fallen in love with? I do not think so. To understand what is happening here, let us do a series on romantic relationships,

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 11, 2020

God's arraignment and indictment of Israel: rebellion, and the evidence for it.

At last, we’re looking at the prophets! We’re starting with the ‘prince of the prophets’, Isaiah, and we’re going to take a look at Isaiah 1. Yesterday I quoted 1:2: Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth; for the Lord has spoken: “Children have I reared and brought up, but they have ...read more
