In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated. I had too often swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as ...read more

    Is Deborah The Foundation For Female Leadership In The Church?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Apr 12, 2021
    based on 6 ratings
     | 10,684 views

    The story of Deborah is often used to encourage women to seek leadership and teaching roles in the church.

    The Bible proclaims that every male and female human being has intrinsic and equal worth and is a reflection of God because they are made in His image. Those who say that the Bible portrays women as subservient to men have never read the Bible or don't know anything about it; otherwise, they ...read more

    In this last sermon of the series on grief and lament, we explore and engage in how to live with lament. How to employ it with cases of overwhelming grief, and with cases of everyday, minor grief. The sermon ends with two examples of lament prayers.

    This is the fourth sermon in a series about Jesus being The Great Nevertheless. He keeps wonderfully surprising us. Using the Lord’s "nevertheless" statement in the KJV we get a delightful glimpse of our awesome Savior.

    Where Is Peace?

    Contributed by Scott Spencer on Dec 7, 2014

    Perhaps the most commonly misused and misapplied word in the language of man, is ‘love.’ If so, then surely the second most misused and misapplied word is, ‘peace.'

    Where is Peace? Scripture: Luke 2:12-2:14 12. “This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” 13. And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, 14. “Glory to God in the ...read more

    Message In 1peter – Number 4 – Born Again Through That Which Is Imperishable, But What Is It? – 1peter 1:23 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 9, 2023
     | 1,402 views

    Peter teaches on the new birth. Being born again by the imperishable seed. There can be no regeneration of the human soul in any person’s life, which is dead to God, without the operation of the word of God. Therefore a preacher must be aware of the importance of the quickening word in preaching.
