Loving Sincerely Series

Contributed by Mark Opperman on Jun 19, 2012

This is the other "love chapter" of the NT (1 Cor. 13 being the main one). Paul’s commands or exhortations in these verses are really ways of expressing love to God and to fellow human beings.

The Gracious Giving Of Jesus Christ Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Feb 5, 2015

Here is the supreme argument for Christian giving. Grace giving flows out of the self-giving and self-impoverishing of the Son of God on man's behalf.

2 CORINTHIANS 8: 9-15 [GAINING PERSPECTIVE Series] THE GRACIOUS GIVING OF JESUS CHRIST [Philippians 2: 1-13 / Mark 12:41–44] Paul has been using the Macedonians as an example but they were an example only because they followed Christ Jesus' example. So at this point is introduced the ...read more

When Will Jesus Return Again? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

Jesus’ Second Coming is rich news to those who are hurting. All the pain and suffering of our lives will not last forever. As one pastor recently said, “The promise of the second coming shows us the ‘good ole days are always ahead of us.”

Several weeks ago, I asked for your help in your choice of today’s sermon. Your top choice was “When Will Jesus Return to Earth?” But a little analysis of the results led us to understand that it was really only this early service that asked for this topic. So … in the next couple of services, the ...read more

Job 2

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Sep 5, 2019

This is the second attempt by Satan to get Job to curse God after the first attempt failed. This shows that true lovers of the Lord will remain true lovers of the Lord, even in times of deep trouble or grief.

Last Sunday, we talked about how Job lost everything he had, including all physical property along with all his children. And how, even though he suffered, he did not blame God, but chose to worship God instead. Today, Satan gives him another test designed to test his loyalty to God, and we will ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 19, 2025

Jeremiah is faced with the scene of destruction all around and he describes different events and how they affected people and material things. When people turn from God, the inevitable must happen, and that is God’s judgement upon the existing order.

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Dec 15, 2025

Today, we are looking at 4 more of the Miracles of Jesus. As we look at these miracles chronologically, it is interesting that 3 of these 4 are found only in one gospel, while one is found in Matthew and Luke.

Our first miracle is found only in Matthew. One pericope or heading is: Miracle Temple Tax in a fishes mouth. There was an occasion years ago, while fishing with my grandfather, Daddy Mac, on Lake Livingston, that he and my stepfather, wagered a small beat on who could catch the total weight of ...read more
