The Game Of Mutually Assured Destruction Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 11, 2015

It's one game board, but two games. Checkers and Chess are not only played differently, but they illustrate for me the difference between how the world deals with conflict and how God would have us do so. Do you know the difference?

OPEN: (We showed a picture of a checker board on the overhead) What is this game? That’s right, it’s a checkers game. How many of you have ever played checkers? (almost everyone held up their hands) You know, I did not realize it until I began my research for this morning’s ...read more

What The Bible Teaches About Cremation

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Oct 28, 2021

The purpose of this course is to make today’s Christian think about some of the things we are facing in our society as Christians. Christian people should be “thinking” people when it comes to the issues we face in our society.

For example, as Christians: • We can not allow others to do our thinking for us when it comes to deciding what is RIGHT and what is WRONG. • We can not just ignore these issues we face and hope they will go away. Through the ages of time, God’s people have had to face difficult situations in ...read more

Contributed by Rodney Fry on Sep 25, 2021

the witness of John the Baptist is a dynamic example for every servant of God. 1. John was questioned by religionists who were suspicious of Him: they asked, “Who are you?” (v.19). 2. He was a man who knew who he was (vv.20–22). 3. He was only a voice—only a forerunner for the Lord (v.23–24).

Unexpected Events (Part 1) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 7, 2021

Pivotal events can happen unexpectedly in our lives. If we are able to accept that fact and (at the same time) trust God with the changes that accompany those events, we will manage life better. This message explores unexpected events in Moses's life.

Today I want to talk about two unexpected events in Moses’s life. One was a glorious encounter with God that set him on the course for the last 40 years of his life. The other was a painful experience that equipped him to fulfill the mission given to him in the first encounter. In both cases the ...read more

Hurry Up And Wait Series

Contributed by David Owens on Sep 20, 2021

The three points of this sermon and a good bit of the content is borrowed from a sermon by Ray Pritchard (see the resources at the end of the sermon). The key to facing hard times is learning to wait on the Lord.

Introduction: A. Once there was a boy who asked a girl to go to the school formal dance. 1. She agreed, and he decided to rent a tuxedo, but the rental store had a long line, so he waited and waited, and finally he got his suit. 2.

LORDSHIP Years ago, I knew someone who said that they had just purchased a new Lamborghini and that they were bringing it around for me to see.

All Fired Up - God Is Our Passion #4 Series

Contributed by Duane Wente on Aug 22, 2020

While there are many things for which we can be “fired up”, God shows that He should be our complete passion. God doesn’t do things half way — He goes all out. Just as God completely consumed the sacrifice on Mt. Carmel, so should God completely consumer our lives today.

Introduction We’re continuing our thoughts during this sizzling hot summer about different fiery stories in the Bible. In today’s story, things are all fired up. What gets you fired up? What gets your engines running? What Makes People “Fired Up”?! FEBRUARY 22, 2013 BY ...read more

Consequences Of Gossip

Contributed by James Dina on Aug 25, 2020

Gossip murders a person’s happiness. It is the thief of joy, and it disregards everything that God stands for. It is like a cancer, spreading like wildfire through gossipers.

CONSEQUENCES OF GOSSIP “Besides, they get into the habit of being idle and going about from house to house. And not only do they become idlers, but also gossips and busybodies, saying things they ought not to”. (1 Timothy 5:13) God ...read more

A King Like This - Part 2

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Aug 26, 2020

As Jesus came to earth as a baby, destined to grow up and be the Lamb of God to be sacrificed for the sins of the world, He voluntarily limited the use of His divine attributes.

Last time we answered two very important questions: “What does the Incarnation mean for Jesus?” and “What does the Incarnation mean for us?” What does this mean for Him? Jesus, who had come to earth as God and King, put on a body. He was God, but He restricted the independent use of His deity, ...read more

Vindicate Me, O God

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 2, 2021

Psalm 109 is a prayer that sticks in our throats – quite rightly, for we realize how serious it is. But this Psalm teaches us to realize what’s at stake in this life.

When we open our Bibles we sometimes come across things that are very hard. Some things in the Scriptures we struggle to understand – and some things we struggle to accept. For example, in the Psalms we find in several places words full of violence and hostility. In Ps 58:6 we read, “Break the ...read more
