    You Shall Not Murder Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 21, 2021
     | 3,052 views

    The Bible’s opening plotlines show the firstborn man, Cain, killing his brother Abel. Think of it: the firstborn person in the human race was a murderer.

    Contrary to many people’s thoughts that civilization is more civilized, evidence suggests that murder is on the increase. In 1963, in Scotland, two people were convicted of murder. In 2000, there were 128 reported homicides in Scotland. In 1960, the District of Columbia reported 81 murders. In 1991 ...read more

    Because every child matters to Jesus, every child must matter to us.

    Let the Children Come Mark 10:13-16 January 18-19, 2025 Rev. Brian Bill After preaching at an evangelistic service, D.L. Moody reported, “we had two and one-half conversions.” One of his colleagues inquired, “I suppose you mean two adults and one child.” ‘No,’ Mr. Moody replied. “I mean two ...read more

    Standing In A Bowing World

    Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 12, 2012

     | 14,928 views

    Only 3 Hebrews stood when the whole world bowed. Likewise, we Christians found ourselves on the losing end of the culture war in America. Same-sex marriage, abortion, & marijuana won. Do we throw up our hands and say, "There's no use fighting it?" No! We

    Abundance And More

    Contributed by Howard Strickland on Jan 21, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,238 views

    Our God is a God of abundance. Here Jesus is using a metaphor of Himself being a shepherd over sheep. Moreover, the sheep that listen, follow and stay in His presence will always have pasture. (Abundance). John 10:10b I came that they may have and enjo

    Abundance and More Text: John 10:10 I ASSURE you, most solemnly I tell you, he who does not enter by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way (elsewhere, from some other quarter) is a thief and a robber. 2But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3The watchman ...read more

    The "i Am”s Of Jesus

    Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 18, 2018
     | 10,925 views

    When Jesus said "I AM," it usually was a metaphor describing his character or nature. 12 times Jesus used this phrase. Here we look at the 7 "I AMs" of Jesus which capture His most meaningful characteristics.

    THE “I AM”s OF JESUS Mt. 16:15 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: COWBOY WISDOM: 6 GEMS 1. Never squat with your spurs on. 2. There's two theories to arguing with a woman; neither one works. 3. Don't worry about bitin' off more than you can chew, your mouth is probably a whole lot ...read more

    "the Strength Of The Ox."

    Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on May 14, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,800 views

    Beloved, the ox is a metaphor for a pastor's need for freedom to lead and expand the Church's impact. Working together in unity and harmony as one body, we can make a substantial difference in our community by spreading love, hope, and kindness to those in need.

    SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES (Proverbs 14:4) “Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.” (Proverbs 15:17) “Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.” (1 ...read more

     | 481 views

    What does Luke 10:17-24 mean? It cannot be taken literally. Understanding the metaphors and culture of Jesus' day explains everything. Going out to spread the Gospel is a major part of discipleship. When one is doing this Christ is with the person through the Holy Spirit

    We Are Not Ignorant Of Satan’s Devices Or Schemes – Part 8 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 7, 2023
     | 1,372 views

    Satan’s wicked schemes – what are they? On this occasion we consider the satanic reaping of children’s impressionable minds; the increase in the occult in various forms; and the murder of the unborn in abortion. We ought to know Satan’s schemes because 2Corinthians 2:11 says we do know them.

    WE ARE NOT IGNORANT OF SATAN’S DEVICES OR SCHEMES – PART 8 [26]. SATAN CLAIMS THE IMPRESSIONABLE MIND WHICH HE CHAINS FOR LIFE Children tend to be trusting before they have learned that their peers and adults can not be trusted. Trust is a great Christian word and carries confidence and ...read more

    Worthless Clouds Without Water Carried By The Changing Winds –jude 1 Verse 12 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 16, 2022
     | 2,209 views

    Jude continues his description of the false teachers using metaphors to describe them. This follow on from hidden reefs and we now have empty clouds without water, useless in promise and leaving bitter failure. Many people are left hurt, and without hope, and fleeced and betrayed.

    WORTHLESS CLOUDS WITHOUT WATER CARRIED BY THE CHANGING WINDS –Jude 1 verse 12 In our last message we were looking at these false teachers Jude was battling when he urged his readers to contend for the faith. They had to be positive, and a lazy and don’t care less approach would achieve nothing. ...read more

    Jochebed - A Woman Of Faith

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on May 11, 2014
    based on 17 ratings
     | 109,577 views

    Can you think of anyone else in the world that has more potential for a positive influence on a child than a mother does? Jochebed was a godly mother who by faith let go and let God in the life of her son Moses.

    Jochebed - A Woman of Faith Exodus 2:1-8 Behind every great man is his mother. Someone imagined the mothers of these well-known sons making the following comments: Mrs. Morse: “Sam, stop tapping your fingers on the table--it’s driving me crazy!” Mrs. Lindbergh: “Charles, ...read more

    Forgiveness For The Foremost Sinner

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 21, 2022
     | 1,879 views

    Can God forgive you of the worst sin you've ever committed? The message explores the grace of God, not to excuse our sin, but to encourage us to look to God for grace as we turn from our sin to walk with Him.

    “I thank him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, appointing me to his service, though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord overflowed ...read more

     | 1,525 views

    Salt is not for itself; it is seasoning for food. In the same way the disciples are there not for themselves but for the earth

    During the children’s service, the pastor was explaining that Christians are the “light, salt, and leaven” of the world. The children understood “light” and “salt,” but when the pastor asked them what “leaven” is, they were silent. Finally, young Michelle Williamson spoke up: “It’s what comes after ...read more

    The Gospel Sermon Series

     | 3,907 views

    Mark's Gospel has been believed to have been written to the Roman people. So, why would Mark begin by declaring that he was going to tell them the "Gospel of Jesus Christ"... what did the Romans need to hear, and what do we need to hear from Mark's Gospel?

    In the book of Acts, we’re told the Apostle Paul preached at Troas, and he preached so long that a man went to sleep and fell out of the window. When the Pilgrims settled at Plymouth - their sermons lasted so long that the congregation apparently placed a large hourglass on the pulpit to remind ...read more

    Soul For Sale

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jun 3, 2009
    based on 10 ratings
     | 9,557 views

    In America, you can metaphorically and literally sell your soul and be rewarded for it. One wonders how the purchaser intended to collect. We can’t literally sell our soul, but we can lose our soul to gain something else. We need to ponder Jesus’ question

    Opening illustration: One would think that selling one’s soul, as Faust offered his to the devil in Goethe’s Dr. Faustus, is only a figment of literary fiction. Medieval as it seems, however, several cases of soul-selling have occurred. Wired magazine reported that a 29-year-old university ...read more

    While God May Be Found (July 17, 2022)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jul 15, 2022
     | 2,353 views

    Who would argue against the understanding that we live in a day when many take God for granted? One thing that eighth chapter of Amos makes clear is that moving away from God invites destruction. The opening image of ripe fruit cuts to the chase as a metaphor for God’s judgement.

    WHILE GOD MAY BE FOUND Texts: Isaiah 55:6, Amos 8:1- 2, 8:11- 12 Isaiah 55:6 Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Hime while He is near Amo 8:1 This is what the Lord GOD showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit. 2 And he said, “Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A basket of ...read more
