If You Really Love Jesus . . . Series

Contributed by James Wallace on May 19, 2022

If you really love Jesus, then what? How will you show it? Do you show it? Jesus had specific answers for us in John 21.

Well, finally, some of you must be thinking, we come to the end of the Gospel of John. And I must say, personally, along with others who have thoroughly studied this book, that it is very likely the most profound book I have ever preached through.

The Necessary Process Series

The process for Israel's salvation is explained in Zechariah 13:7-9. The substitutionary death the Good Shepherd is essential for our salvation as well. This is a powerful text for preaching Christ!

Intro In our previous studies we have seen the glorious victory God gives Israel at the Battle of Armageddon. We have seen the national conversion that occurs at the end of the Tribulation period. Wonderful things will happen “on that day.”i But there was a price to pay for that to happen. What we ...read more

Lessons From Olivet

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 28, 2022

The Mount of Olives was important to Jesus. It is a place of praise, a place of rest, a place of communion, a place of surrender, a place of blessing, and a place of retreat – things important to both Christ and believers today.

I’ve entitled our message today “Lessons from Olivet,” and I wish to begin by reading Luke 22:39, which is our focal verse. This verse says, “Coming out, He went to the Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed, and His disciples also followed Him.” This morning, I feel led to preach a message about ...read more

The One Appraising Us Is Christ (1 Corinthians 4:1-21) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 29, 2022

Don't boast; don't become proud. Be faithful servants, and don't pick apart Christians' motives. You can't see in their heads. Also, stop navel gazing.

How Rich Are We, In Christ, Right Now? (1 Corinthians 4:1-21, Part 2) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 29, 2022

Are we kings, already? The answer is "yes" and "no." But our riches are for service, to be used in humility. Not to lift ourselves up.

Last week, we worked through 1 Corinthians 4. Admittedly, I didn't really explain the last half of the chapter at all. I think I had three reasons for this. None of which are very important, but here they are: (1) Chapter 4 hangs together as a single argument, and I wanted to catch the ...read more

Esther Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 3, 2022

Mordecai, Esther's uncle, offended a high court official called Haman, who decided to kill not only Mordecai but all the Jews in the Persian empire. Esther turned the tables on Mordecai. She pleaded with the King, and Haman was punished – hanged on the very gallows he had built for Mordecai.

If you are not already familiar with these individuals, they have been briefly introduced to us in the following paragraphs. Who was Esther? 1. Queen Vashti disobeyed the drunken orders ...read more
