The Plan - Mark 3:11-15 (Luke 6:12-13) Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Sep 4, 2023

Jesus never wrote anything that we know of. All the information we have came from the Apostles. Why?

Mark 3:7 Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lake, and a large crowd from Galilee followed. 8 When they heard all he was doing, many people came to him from Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, and the regions across the Jordan and around Tyre and Sidon. 9 Because of the crowd he told his disciples to ...read more

Will Christians Go Through The Tribulation Period? (Ix) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Mar 1, 2021

Matthew's prediction of the Abomination of Desolation is compared to Luke's account of the destruction of the temple in 70 AD. Rightly diving this portion of the Olivet Discourse is crucial to understanding end-time prophecy. The focus of this message is Matthew 24:15-31.

Last week we examined the first part of Jesus’s Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24:1-14. In that portion of the prophecy Jesus told us the conditions that would exist during this current age: deception, wars, pestilence, earthquakes, persecution, etc. In verse 8 He uses the metaphor of labor pains ...read more

How To Destroy Your Enemies

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Oct 6, 2021

There are a lot of differences between Christianity and other religions. One of those differences is the way we treat our enemies.

SO, HOW ARE WE TO REACT TO OUR ENEMIES? The natural reaction of one who does not know Christ is to strike back and to seek the greatest retribution possible. BUT THIS IS NOT THE CHRISTIAN RESPONSE Illus: D.L. MOODY, IN ONE OF HIS SERMONS, PORTRAYS THE LORD JESUS GIVING DIRECTION TO PETER AFTER ...read more

Luke 4:31-41 - What Authority Really Looks Like

Contributed by Carl Willis on Apr 12, 2024

The authority of Jesus teaching caused the demons to reveal themselves in protest. The authority of Jesus' command causes sickness to immediately cease. How does that same authority operate in the lives of believers today?

Today we're going to deal with two topics that can be somewhat controversial within the church: the demonic and healing. We're going to dive into the Word of God, lay some proper foundation today, and let's pray first because that's where we need to go. Father, we come before You. ...read more

Our Champion - Mark 15:16-20 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on May 22, 2024

One of the most painful emotions the human soul can carry is shame. What can you do when feelings of shame continue to press down on you even after you've repented of a sin?

Mark 15:16 The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called to-gether the whole company of soldiers. 17 They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. 18 And they began to call out to him, "Hail, king of the Jews!" ...read more

Treasure In Heaven Part 1 - Matthew 6:19-21 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Oct 21, 2024

Jesus told the Rich Young Ruler to sell everything and give it to the poor. Why didn’t he tell anyone else that? What does God want us to do with our wealth?

Matthew 6:19-21 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure ...read more

Remember

Contributed by Steve Malone on Jul 9, 2004

This week as I sat at my desk, I asked myself – what does Jesus want us to remember about Him as we take communion? FRIENDS – I thought long and hard on this. AND – in our time remaining I’d like to share with you what I came up with…

Remember… There’s a story about a guy from the city who was visiting relatives on a farm and the farmer gave a whistle and his dog herded the cattle into the corral, then latched the gate with her paw. "Wow, that’s some dog. What’s her name?" The forgetful farmer thought a minute, then asked, ...read more
