Knowledge Is Power

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Nov 15, 2020

scientia potentia est is a Latin saying meaning knowledge is power. While this can be true in an academic sense, the idea that knowledge is power is also true in a spiritual sense. Let's get into 2nd Peter and see what having spiritual knowledge enables us to do.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER 2nd Peter 1:1-3 When I was preparing the Sunday School lesson for last week, I had 2 Peter 1:3-4 as part of an answer to one of the questions. But as I looked over the whole passage I saw there was a lot there to tap into so I decided to develop it into a sermon series. ...read more

The Second Body Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 30, 2021

Everything made by man is doomed. Only the God-made body, and the God-redeemed world can be the focus of the Christian hope. That is why Paul groaned and longed to be clothed with the heavenly body God had for him.

Most of us could tell true stories of our forgetfulness that allowed us to put a book, a casserole, or some other object on the top of our car, and then get in and drive off. Some of these stories will have sadder endings than others, but it is not likely any of our stories could match that of ...read more

Multiple Meanings Of Marvelous Grace Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 30, 2021

Most often Christians define grace as only unmerited favor, but this is putting a limit on the word which the New Testament does not do. It should not be surprising that grace can also mean merited favor.

A snowstorm made it impossible for a guess speaker to get to the church where he was to preach. Therefore, a local man was asked to come in as a substitute. The speaker began by explaining the meaning of substitute. If you break a window he said, and then place a cardboard there instead--that is ...read more

Zedekiah, The False Prophet With Fake Iron Horns Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 4, 2025

A false prophet named Zedekiah used some unusual visual aids to reinforce his message. One small problem, though: his message didn't come from the LORD!

Introduction: This second message is about Zedekiah, probably one of the worst false prophets ever. He lived during the days of Ahab and Jehoshaphat but caused a great deal of grief for many people in both Israel and Judah. His “visual aids” didn’t help, either! The setting for this “prophecy” ...read more
