How Often I Would, But You Would Not

Contributed by John Gaston on May 3, 2023

God uses the metaphor of a hen to describe His love for us. We look at why He wants to gather us, the means He uses to do so, and the dangers of ignoring His call. Missed opportunities become judgments!

HOW OFTEN I WOULD, BUT YOU WOULD NOT Matt. 23:37-38 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Here’s an early Mother’s Day joke. A pastor was talking to a teenage boy; “I want to teach you about a higher power.” 2.

Part I: Unity Of The Spirit - Level 1 Series

Contributed by Louis Posthauer on Mar 26, 2022

There are three distinct levels of unity in the Spirit that are evident in the early church. Most of the western church in the 21st century is only familiar with the first or lowest level of unity that Jesus referred to in John 17.

Help! I Can't Pray Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Paul knew what he was saying when he said we know not how to pray as we ought. We can't depend upon prayer. We need to depend upon God. Prayer is not the answer, but God is. Prayer can even be a danger to the best in life.

One of the perplexing of all life's paradoxes is the fact that God often answers our prayers by refusing to answer our prayers. One of the greatest examples of this in history is that of Monica praying for her son Augustine. All night in a sea side chapel on the North African coast she pleaded ...read more

"i Will Be Diligent: Part 2" Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 23, 2020

The man of God is to not follow trends, fads, feelings, what people would like to hear, or preach messages that make them feel "good", but instead preach the Gospel without compromise or apology and to stay committed no matter what happens.

The previous message based on 2 Timothy began with the definition of diligence. It means being constant in your efforts, finish what you started, stay committed to the task and not quit or become distracted. Preparation and thought are a part of this process.
