David The Judge: Justice In A Messy World Series

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Oct 28, 2024

Many people see David as a failure as a judge. But the world of David's time was a messy place. There were reasons why David couldn't do all that he would have liked to do or, we might think, should have done. The Bible doesn't see David as a failure as a judge.

We’re coming towards the end of our series, ‘Learning from David’. Last week, we looked at David the king. We saw that in the Bible, the foundation of God’s throne is righteousness and justice. I suggested that if righteousness and justice are the foundation of GOD’S throne – the key ...read more

Sermon # 10 - Unknown To Men But Significant To God Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Mar 14, 2023

Do you feel what you are doing for God is unnoticed or unappreciated by others? There were many such people whom God used to fulfill His great purposes. This sermon will encourage you to realize that nothing you do is disregarded by God.

We read in 1 Corinthians 1:25, “This foolish plan of God is wiser than the wisest of human plans, and God's weakness is stronger than the greatest of human strength.”(NLT) As human beings, the two aspects of life that we seek and pursue after are worldly knowledge and strength. However, the ...read more

Why Are Jesus' Genealogies In Matthew And Luke Different?

Contributed by Steven W. Satterfield on Mar 21, 2023

From https://zondervanacademic.com/blog/why-are-jesus-genealogies-in-matthew-and-luke-different This post is adapted from the Four Portraits, One Jesus: Jesus’ Birth, Childhood, and Early Ministry, a free online course taught by Dr. Mark Strauss. My notes will be added later.

The birth narratives in both Matthew and Luke help answer the question, “Who is Jesus and where did he come from?” One of the ways each book does this is by recounting Jesus’ genealogy. The problem is: the genealogies are different. The Old Testament predicted that the Messiah would come from the ...read more

Merciful But Tough: The Story Of The Woman Caught In Adultery Series

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 25, 2023

Jesus showed mercy to the woman caught in adultery. But he didn't water down his demands.

INTRODUCTION I imagine we really like this story of the woman caught in adultery. We especially like the fact that Jesus didn’t condemn the woman – even though the religious experts said that she should be stoned. But as we reflect on the story, we find that it gives us some quite uncomfortable ...read more

Who Am I?

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Apr 21, 2023

Don’t you just love those preachers who can take one bible verse and bring an entire message with a rich and robust meaning? Well, that ain’t me! You’re not getting that today. However, the message is built around 1 Corinthians 12:27 and we’ll get there eventually!

Did you ever have that teacher who the only reason you paid attention in class was because they might call on you to answer a question, and you didn’t want to look a fool? Just sayin’ When I first began preparing this message, I recalled a scene from the movie “Overcomer”. I have shared this with ...read more

#35. Who Stands In The Breach? Series

Contributed by James Jackson on Sep 3, 2023

Ezekiel 22:30 has been the theme verse for lots of men's ministries. It is definitely compelling to think we might be the man God is looking for to stand in the gap. But the truth is, we are missing the point.

Climate Change

Contributed by Phillip Smith on Sep 15, 2023

As a child, our parents disciplined us from time to time as we needed correction. It often was not well taken by us, but over time we began to understand why we. Sometimes the discipline was more severe than before. God has disciplined mankind likewise. And, He still does.
