    Eutychus fell asleep during church... and he woke up dead. Why was Eutychus at church that night, and what can we learn from his experience?

    Someone once noted that falling asleep has often had unforeseen consequences. Adam fell asleep and woke up married and missing a rib! Samson fell asleep and woke up bald and beaten! Jonah fell asleep in the boat and woke up wet! Eutychus fell asleep and he woke up dead! Like Eutychus, people ...read more

    The preaching of the Word is God is the center of our worship service, but we need to do what the message says and not just be hearers.

    Paul’s Charge To The Ephesian Elders Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Oct 14, 2023
     | 3,056 views

    Paul sees the elders of the Ephesian church for the last time. He gives them a charge: 'Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock.' It's a message the church needs to hear today.

    Today’s passage has a lot to tell us about the job of a minister or pastor or elder. Maybe you think, ‘I’m not a minister or pastor or elder. This doesn’t apply to me’! But all of us have responsibilities towards other people. This passage has something to say to all of us. Before I get ...read more

    As we jump back into the book of Acts we find Paul in chapter 20, Paul is wrapping up his 3rd missionary journey and is anxious to return to Jerusalem.

    Good morning again Church! Judging by the dip in the temps, Fall has finally arrived! It seems like every season this year has been late! We had a late spring, summer just about never showed up, now it won’t leave! Some of you have mixed feelings about this. I know Bob is happy, as long as it ...read more

     | 2,408 views

    Acts 20 has a summary of Paul's ministry in various places after he left Ephesus. His closing message to the elders of Ephesus is a masterpiece of a charge to church leaders anywhere.

    Revelation, Chapters 2 and 3, deal with seven specific churches located in Asia Minor (present day Turkey) that were given words of encouragement and criticism by the Lord Jesus Christ. We need to read what Jesus says to them, because it applies to us as well.

    Revelation 2 and 3 deal with seven specific churches listed by the Lord Jesus Christ (Revelation 1:11). He gives orders to the apostle John to write down what He says and send it to the pastors of these churches in order to let them know that despite the circumstances in which they find ...read more

    Thoughts In 2 Peter – Number 7 - A Look At Peter’s Exposure Of Destructive Wolves/ False Teachers – 2 Peter 2:1-3 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 27, 2026
     | 50 views

    Superficial knowledge of the scriptures allows error on a large scale. The words of false teachers are false, but the false becomes true to those who are deceived. Error thrives in untaught conditions just as disease thrives in unsanitary environments. Peter opens up on these savage wolves.

    THOUGHTS IN 2 PETER – NUMBER 7 - A LOOK AT PETER’S EXPOSURE OF DESTRUCTIVE WOLVES/ FALSE TEACHERS – 2 Peter 2:1-3 [1]. INTRODUCTION Peter had a lot to say about false prophets and teachers. WHY WOULD THIS BE SO? Firstly the composure of Christians is at stake because the false teachers, the ...read more

    Several years ago I was leaving a church and looked for ideas for winding down or farewell sermons. I found few ideas. I was able to piece a few options from reference to Paul’s final meeting with the Ephesian elders and Paul’s final thoughts to Timothy.

    This lesson is one of the “farewell sermons” I put together. I have a bibliography for those who would like it.This sermon became the last one I preached in my previous church. The title was inspired by the tagline of a comedian who was popular when I was a kid and I have a series (unrelated to ...read more
