Practicing The Presence Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 20, 2021

Theologically Jesus is always present with us, but practically we experience His absence because we are not aware of that presence. He promised He would never leave us nor forsake us, but we need to become aware of His being ever present.

Fatalism Or Faith Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 20, 2021

America is Christian in its thinking in that we are a nation that says folly does not need to be repeated. We can learn from our mistakes and go on to change the future for the better and prevent tragedies that otherwise would be inevitable.

A young man driving through the rich part of the city could not believe his eyes when he saw a sign on a Mercedes Benz that said, "For Sale $100.00. He pulled into the driveway and went to the door, and he asked if the sign was correct. The woman assured him that it was. He asked, "Is ...read more

Witnessing To Postmodern People

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022

This message discusses postmodernism. In today's moral relativism, truth is seen as subjective, and it can supposedly change with circumstances. So, how do we share about Jesus who is "the way, the TRUTH, and the life?"

Our message this evening is entitled, “Witnessing to Postmodern People.” As we seek to understand how to better share our faith in today’s western culture, we must begin with a discussion on modernism and postmodernism. Modernism and postmodernism are eras, or time periods of societal thought and ...read more

The Antidote To Progressive Revisionism In The Church

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Apr 12, 2022

God gave laws known as the Ten Commandments for every human being to adhere to.

Religious leaders are always very good at legalism so they added 603 moral and legal codes (365 thou shalt not's and 248 thou shalt). Jesus accentuated the 10 Commandments because they are the key to knowledge about salvation (see Isaiah 42:21; Luke 11:52). The Bible says that "Only in ...read more

All Glory And Honor To The Son Of God

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 1, 2022

Jesus' Divinity was shown in the healing of a man on the Sabbath Day (John 5:16) and declaring Himself equal with God (John 5:17-18). The religious authorities sought to kill Him yet should have honored Him. Their failure to do so condemned them. Don't make that mistake.

The Scriptures tell of the authority and power the Lord Jesus has over His creation and the affairs of humanity. The four gospels present what Jesus said and did to demonstrate to those who were willing to truly hear and see that He was the fulfillment of prophecy and the One who was the ...read more

The Judgment Of The Almighty Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 12, 2022

The Old Testament prophets predicted a day so alarming that even those who are religiously careless wake from their moral sleepiness. They frequently refer to it as “that day” when the nations are judged.

No Life On Mars

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 1, 2023

When Paul went to "Mars" Hill in Athens he found no spiritual life there. Though Greece had made a great contribution to the world's philosophy and thought, it's offering for salvation was empty. But there was life on Mars when Paul left!

NO LIFE ON MARS Acts 17:22-31 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Today I was at the hospital with someone and they remarked how that when they went in for surgery last time, the doctor drew a big picture on their side so he wouldn’t operate on the wrong side.
