    Things that were opened for these two disciples (Outline and some material adapted from Bob Russell from Lookout Magazine under the Living Word article for September 30, 2001; other material adapted from Sermon Central Contributors, thanks!)

    HoHum: When times are hard, I have trouble praying. When that happens, I go walking in a deserted place and talk with the Lord while I walk. This seems to help. On these walks I am able to open myself up to the Lord, express myself. “He walks with me and he talks with me and He tells me I ...read more

    Preached May 2nd, 2010 for the 5th Sunday of Easter at St. Paul's, Big Cove Tannery, St. Paul, McConnellsburg, and Mt. Zion, Little Cove. It talks about the difference between the world's definition of love and God's definition of love through Jesus Chri

    There’s a lot of talk in our world today about the topics of love. You’ll even hear those words used quite a bit by a lot of preachers in a lot of different churches. In fact, Jesus Himself in today’s Gospel reading gives us a commandment to “love one another as I have ...read more

    Jesus Feeds The Five Thousand Series

    based on 117 ratings
     | 61,903 views

    Christ always has been the provider of His people’s needs. He will always be. The question is will we see our true needs & look to Him to provide them. Jesus is the hope of the 2nd Exodus, which will lead to freedom from slavery to sin, self & satan.

    JOHN 6: 1-15 JESUS FEEDS THE FIVE THOUSAND [Isaiah 55:1-4] The feeding of the five thousand is the one miracle along with the resurrection that is included in all four Gospels (Mt.14:13-21; Mk. 6:30-44; Lk. 9:10-17; Jn. 6:1-13). It ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 3,987 views

    Finishing the 2nd lesson of a short mini-series "Crossing Over to Zion" we now focus on the word "Zion". As true Hebrews today (cp. Romans 2:28-29) Christians ought to be girded in the hope of God’s secure promise as death has been conquered.

    Crossing Over to Zion (2) Theme: Living a life of hope awaiting Zion INTRODUCTION A. In the previous lesson we looked at the word Hebrew. 1. We saw that from word usage in the Old Testament the word possibly meant either 1) descendent of Shem; One crossing over; or the description of one who ...read more

     | 14,454 views

    The tombstone holds 2 dates. The date of birth and the date of death. A dash - separates the 2. That dash represents a lifetime spent here on this earth. Both dates hold different emotions for different people. But to the believer in Jesus, I want you to reconsider those dates, especially the 2nd...

    Knowledge Is Power

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Nov 15, 2020
     | 5,533 views

    scientia potentia est is a Latin saying meaning knowledge is power. While this can be true in an academic sense, the idea that knowledge is power is also true in a spiritual sense. Let's get into 2nd Peter and see what having spiritual knowledge enables us to do.

    KNOWLEDGE IS POWER 2nd Peter 1:1-3 When I was preparing the Sunday School lesson for last week, I had 2 Peter 1:3-4 as part of an answer to one of the questions. But as I looked over the whole passage I saw there was a lot there to tap into so I decided to develop it into a sermon series. ...read more

    I don’t think we serve a second rate God that is happy with our leftovers. If really believe that there is none like God, then there should be nothing like the commitments and sacrifices we are willing to make to please Him.

    Good works are not the root of salvation, but they sure are the fruit of salvation. There are so many "Christians" in our churches who are not really saved. I would be delighted if you could rate this sermon and give brief feedback.

    What You Get When You Give

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 15, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,407 views

    What happens when you give of your time, talents, and money? Many ministries teach that you will receive a material blessing for material giving. I think they completely miss the mark. Paul, in this chapter, sets out a wonderful pattern of the true result

    Last time we talked about the motivation behind giving, and the process for how to give: it comes from the word “generosity” which means simplicity, sincerity, and singleness. We give who we are, and what we have, back to the Lord who owns it all, for Him to take our simple gifts given ...read more
