    If we believe that Jesus is coming back soon, why don’t we live like it?

    With summer winding down and school about to start everybody has been cramming in those last minute vacations… I can remember one summer in particular our family made plans to go to Disneyworld! Now this was a “big deal” for a 10-yr old kid and I remember the anticipation just about as much as I ...read more

    This will be the first of two messages dealing with verses 15-23. Paul had the same desire of any good pastor WHO KNOWS THE LORD. That is, HE KNEW THE LORD INTIMATELY and he wanted this congregation to also know the Lord INTIMATELY.

    Have you noticed that one of the hardest things in this life to do is keep good news a secret? Illus: Benjamin said, “Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead.” Illus: Walter Winchell said, “I usually get my stuff from people who promised somebody else that they would keep it ...read more

    The Book Of Lamentations – Part 1 – Judah Has Fallen In Weeping – Chapter 1:1-3 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 18, 2025
     | 536 views

    Today we begin a new series in the book of Lamentations. So few people read and study this amazing book written by Jeremiah after the fall of Jerusalem and Judah. It is a sad book dealing with the nation’s sorrow and sin that caused it. It is most informative.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 1 – JUDAH HAS FALLEN IN WEEPING – CHAPTER 1:1-3 One of the least studied books of the bible is Lamentations, or more fittingly, “The Lamentations of Jeremiah”, for the prophet pours out his heart in lament at what has befallen Jerusalem and Judah. The book is very ...read more

     | 2,585 views

    Paul’s letter to the church is momentous and sets out what might be called, “The gospel according to Paul”. Today we look into the introduction to the letter and see words like grace and peace, and beloved, saints, and the exalted Jesus Christ our Lord.

    Romans 1:1-7 THE CALLING OF GOD WITH GRACE AND PEACE TO ALL – Romans Message 1 [A]. BONDSERVANT AND APOSTLE {{Romans 1:1 “Paul, a bond-servant of Christ Jesus, called as an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God.”}} Romans has been called the Gospel according to Paul and I love that ...read more

    Consider your calling. Glory in nothing but the Cross!

    A CALL TO BOAST? 1 Corinthians 1:18-31. The Apostle Paul has established that the preaching of the cross was considered foolishness by this world’s wisdom (1 Corinthians 1:18). Yet God has rendered foolish the wisdom of this world by the ‘foolishness’ of preaching (1 Corinthians 1:20). ...read more

     | 10,040 views

    This Advent sermon uses some of the lights of the Christmas Season as illustrations to teach us how to get the most out of this Advent/Christmas.

    INTRODUCTION Are you afraid of the dark? When I was a child I used to be afraid. My active imagination caused me to visualize all types of dreadful things lurking in the dark along the path to the out house, or next to my bed in the night. When we would come home at night, I would let my ...read more

    Cutting To The Chase

    based on 48 ratings
     | 3,026 views

    Advent 6: The Resurrection is proof that Jesus’ work on the Cross was exactly what was needed to restore a sinful humanity to God.

    There are people that have the absolutely uncanny ability to zero in on a problem. With laser-like precision, they can identify what’s going on and cut to the chase. If protests are raised, they can lay waste all arguments to the contrary, take no prisoners and accept no compromises as they ferret ...read more

    God’s Word to the Graduate is intended to be an encouragement to graduating seniors who are embarking upon college, career, military service or marriage.

    Graduating seniors, you are coming to the most intense crossroads of your life. You will become almost intoxicated by the newly acquired freedoms, and you will become frantic as you realize that you are basically on your own. I believe one of the most applicable scripture texts for your situation ...read more

    "The Gift Of Hope” Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,538 views

    With the greatest gift ever given, the gift of God’s Son, we have received the gift of hope.

    When Christ came to this earth as a baby born in Bethlehem, He came to a world that was without hope. But He brought hope. Hope is a precious commodity in human life. What a contrast of emotions there is between the words, “hopeless” and “hopeful.” The Bible uses both ideas. “Hopeless” describes ...read more

     | 9,518 views

    The passage that we will look at today is the beginning of 1 Peter 1 in which the Apostle Peter calls us all strange. Do you believe that?! The Apostle Peter calls those of us who are believers “strange.”

    “STRANGERS IN THE WORLD” 1 PETER 1:1-13 STRANGE THINGS HUMANS DO …olsonnd.com/weird-things-humans-do/ I was thinking about our passage today, and I got to thinking about the word “strange.” The word “strange” to me means odd and unexpected or ...read more
