Should You Give Your Last 2 Pennies? - Mark 12:41-13:2 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Apr 7, 2024

Is the widow who gave everything an example we should follow? If so, why are we not all giving everything in the offering?

Mark 12:41 Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. 42 But one poor widow came and put in two leptas, worth only a quadrans. 43 Calling his disciples to him, Jesus ...read more

The Value Of A Woman Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on May 15, 2018

Paul proclaims The Value of a Woman, as specific women are identified and 1) Commended as an Excellent Helper (Romans 16:1–2), 2) Commended for Excellent Hospitality (Romans 16:3-5a) and 3) Commended for Excellent Hard Work (Romans 16:6-7, 12-13).

It’s not uncommon on Mother’s Day, to thank moms for all they do. We praise them for their hard work, attentiveness, thoughtfulness, compassion and care. As appreciative as we may be, the unfortunate inference is that we just value them for what they do. Naturally, with God, His valuation is much ...read more

Eschatology 3 Of 16 Our Glorified Bodies (2 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 13, 2022

In the last two sermons, we have been talking about the rapture of the church. I want to remind you again, the rapture is different from the second coming of Christ.

• At the Second Coming, the Lord will literally come to the earth and set up His kingdom on earth for a thousand years. • When the rapture of the church takes place, the Lord will not come back to the earth, but the church will be caught up to meet Him in the air. Look at 1 Thess 4:17 “Then we ...read more

The Blind Chapter

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jul 22, 2008

When our eyes close in death we will no longer be able to see as we do now. Only the light of God can open our sinful eyes to our blindness and save us from eternal darkness.

John Chapter 9 The Blind Chapter Blindness can be a physical condition as in today’s text. It can and is also a spiritual condition for many who live in a dark and sin filled world. While walking along with his disciples Jesus sees a blind man. The disciples ask Jesus who sinned, this man or ...read more

Job 3

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Sep 16, 2019

Job had kept his hurt within himself because there was no one else with which to share it, but when three of his friends came to him, he finally began to vent. Chapter 3 shows us that when we are unable to understand God's reasons, we must still trust in His wisdom.

We have been talking about the book of JOB, which some scholars believe to be the oldest book of the bible, and written by Moses as he wandered the deserts. So far, in chapters 1 and 2, we see where Satan got permission from God to attack Job. The only stipulation was that Satan would not cause ...read more
