    O Grave, Where Is Your Victory?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 24, 2025
     | 148 views

    In Christ, death is sleep; resurrection at His coming grants immortality; hope rests on Jesus’ victory, not inherent human immortality.

    Introduction Picture a quiet country cemetery just before sunrise. Mist curls low among the stones. The dew is heavy, the birds only beginning to stir. Nothing seems more final than that stillness. Yet the Christian confession dares to speak right into that silence: “O death, where is thy ...read more

    28. The Kingdom Parables – The Seventh – The Dragnet – Part 4 Of 6 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 19, 2025
     | 69 views

    Christians can be weak and blind and wear dirty garments when out of touch with the Lord. We look at the Lord’s remedy for these lukewarm, sinful Laodiceans pitifully smug in their church. They thought they were rich but they were wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked.

    28. THE KINGDOM PARABLES – THE SEVENTH – THE DRAGNET – PART 4 OF 6 The seven Kingdom parables of Matthew 13 are a wonderful study of integration. In all these we have looked at the parable itself to understand it. Then we looked at the parallel church in Revelation chapters 2 and 3 that matches ...read more

    We unite in Christ, around Christ, because of Christ and for Christ. Let us not be distracted by our selfish desires, men's ways and the affairs of this world.

    We covered Paul’s opening words of the letter last Sunday, from 1 Cor 1:1-9. • He addressed them as those who are sanctified and called saints in Christ. • He gave thanks to God for the many gifts that they have been blessed with. • The faithful God who started the work in them will see them ...read more

    Make Jesus known where he is needed. Be his heralds and his ambassadors.

    Opening illustration: Our country is in desperate need of a spiritual awakening, but we have a problem. When we consider that the last true, widespread, landscape changing spiritual awakening in this country was in the middle of the 19th century, it is safe to say that no one “alive today” has ...read more

    The famous Baptist pastor D.L. Moody used to say, “Some day, you will read in the papers that D.L. Moody of East Northfield is dead. Don’t believe a word of it! At that moment I shall be more alive than I am now!”

    Made Alive. Ephesians 2:1-22NIV The book of Ephesians was written some 70AD. The apostle Paul wrote this book from prison. What would make a man go to such extremes? -Paul had been made alive! He had a Damascus Road experience. -When you are made alive, ...read more

    The Bride And The Other Woman

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 20, 2026
     | 32 views

    Revelation contrasts two postures of faith: faithful love that waits for Christ, and religious power that bargains, manages, and uses God instead.

    We tend to feel safest when spiritual arguments stay at a distance. If the question is about systems, we can observe. If it’s about denominations, we can analyze. If it’s about institutions, we can debate. Those are comfortable conversations. They let us think clearly without being personally ...read more

    To establish that the “word of God” was given to the apostles through divine revelations and recorded by them through divine inspiration. We’ll explore if the truth of God has been preserved during its translation from Greek into our English language.

    INTRODUCTION Outline. 3. The Process of Human Translation Introductory Remarks. 1. This series of lessons will discuss the theme: “Divine Revelation and Inspiration.” In truth, we can only say these two processes, revelation, and inspiration, are the work of the “Hands of the Father, the Lord, and ...read more

    1) The Need (1 Corinthians 5:1–2a), 2) The Method (1 Corinthians 5:2b–5), and 3) The Reason (1 Corinthians 5:6–8) that the discipline should be imposed.

    One of the common themes in modern news reporting is the "failure to act" story. Reporters mention attacks in places like Bagdad and Syria and how forces have failed to act to repel ISIS. We see how we must root out domestic forms of terrorism or face domestic terrorist attacks like the one ...read more
