    If Only People Understood What Jesus Was Offering Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Feb 9, 2021
     | 2,167 views

    The problem here is not so much that the religious leaders didn't understand Jesus. It's more that they actually do understand Him. What's He saying that is so provocative?

    THE CLIMAX OF THE CONVERSATION: The more they understood Jesus, the more they thought He was crazy. - John 8:48, 52a, 55-57, 59. - This is the climax of a long conversation in John 8 that we’ve handled in several sermons because there is so much content there. The further the conversation went, ...read more

    Regifting Forgiveness

    Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 27, 2021

    As we approach the Holiday Season, the “Season of Regifting!” Regifting is: “the act of receiving a gift and giving it to another friend or family as if you had actually purchased it for them." Regifting forgiveness is a Biblical concept!

    REGIFTING FORGIVENESS Eph 4:32 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE BASS BOAT 1. Boudreaux won a bass boat in a raffle drawing. He brought it home & his wife looked at him & said, “What you gonna do wit dat? There ain’t no water deep enough to float a boat within 75 mile of here”. 2. He says, ...read more

    This message looks at some tactics the enemy will use to discredit God's people. We can fight back through prayer. Daniel actually stood for his faith while on his knees in prayer.

    In our second message from this series, I mentioned how when we live according to biblical principles, working “as to the Lord and not to men” (Colossians 3:23), that we will receive God’s favor and be promoted to a place of prominence. I also cautioned that those who are favored by God are hated ...read more

    This outline, actually simply a list of Scripture passages, was handwritten on a slip of paper I found in a Bible purchased in a secondhand shop. The writer, speaker, theme, and conclusion are all unknown; only the date, 2/16/2013.

    These references are from a slip of paper I found in a Bible purchased from a secondhand shop several months ago. The identity of the author or writer and any text of the message is unknown, as this slip had only the date (2/16/2013) and the following references. I have provided the text from the ...read more

    Mr. Irrelevant Series

     | 2,325 views

    If anyone was considered irrelevant, it would have been Jesus, born to poor parents, in a back-water town, in a land under the thumb of a brutal regime. But Jesus, "Mr. Irrelevant", was actually Mr. Indespensable.

    What exactly is possession? It’s when a demon has actually entered someone and is exerting a level of control over the person. All of us today have been influenced by demons from time to time.

    In my hometown growing up there was a main drive you’d go down called Grand Avenue. And as kids we’d often be traveling with the family in the car. And along grand avenue there was this huge grave yard, I mean like 5 blocks long, and we’d always say, hold your breath, as we passed by the graveyard. ...read more

    Church Buildings?

     | 1,970 views

    What lessons beside who is my neighbor can be found in the Woman at the Well narrative? Actually, quite a bit. This lesson is that Jesus was not in favor of a centralized building for worship. This restricted the LORD who was spirit and existed everywhere.

    Church Buildings? John 4:7-42 Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz New American Standard 1995 John 4:7 There *came a woman of Samaria to draw water.

    I know you have a Scripture in mind that you believe actually states that "God won't give you more than you can handle", but that is not what the Bible says.

    Last week we began a series entitled: “THE BIBLE DOESN’T SAY THAT”, looking at some popular sayings that many BELIEVE are found in the Bible, but are not. 1. The first one we studied last week was: “God wants me to be happy.” (If you missed that lesson, you can listen to it in the ...read more

    When David was anointed king the Philistines came after him. His response was to go down into the hold, get a word from God and then deal with the situation. There is a going down that is actually a going up and going forward.

    Webster's defines a paradox as: "A statement contrary to common belief. A statement that seems contradictory, unbelievable, or absurd, but that may actually be true." There are paradoxes when it comes to Christianity. Let's take a look at some of them.

     | 372 views

    For our sermon this morning we are invited to hear a message from the Prophet Isaiah in his role as an Advent preacher. Actually, we hear three messages connected to three voices calling out in his prophecy.

    They were all Advent preachers. From Moses to Malachi their messages were the same. Repent. Return. Believe. Yes, they delivered their messages in different ways, and at different times. But ultimately, they were the voices of God calling his people to turn away from their sins, return to ...read more

    The ancient Hebrews believed Words had power--they actually did things! The ancient Greeks believed words were the guiding force in the universe. Finally, in the Gospel of John both of these things come together in Jesus Christ.

    This is the fourth set of words Jesus utters from the cross. It is a pivotal phrase and is purposefully the fourth statement he made. While this utterance could call the relationship between God and Jesus into question, it actually melds it and shows how
