Mary Magdalene Series

Contributed by Jason Miller on Apr 19, 2010

Mary Magdalene was the first to see the risen Christ? Why? Why not Peter, why not one of the other disciples? What made Mary so special that she was the first? What can we take away from her life to apply to ours?

Jesus Is Our Good Shepherd, But What Does That Really Mean?

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Apr 27, 2015

Jesus the "Good Shepherd"; is a very under estimated phrase. What does this truly mean, and where is the power in this expression? Does the enemy have a similar policy? You will be surprised.

Welcome Grace and peace to you from God our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen Today we look at that passage again where Jesus tells us that he is the Good Shepherd, and there are a lot of references to sheep, so I warn you before hand, ... it has a powerful ending though. The 23rd Psalm is ...read more

Already, But Not Yet

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 23, 2022

What are the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God? Where are they located? Does knowing hold any significance for the believer? The kingdom was part of Jesus' message, and it should be a part of our message too.

I have entitled our message this morning “Already, But Not Yet.” This sermon title may sound a bit strange; however, it will soon make sense. I am going to have us focus on the topic of the kingdom, and see if we can identify its location. Many of us will probably say, “Well, that’s easy! The ...read more

The Christmas Story Pt 4. Our Love For The Lost

Contributed by Rick Gillespie- Mobley on Dec 21, 2018

This is a Christmas message on why God chose to send the angels to the shepherds rather than to anyone else. God wanted the message to include everyone including the lost. Since God has a great love for those who are lost we as believers should have that same type of love.

Easter 2015: Empty Promises Of Easter

Contributed by Scott Bayles on Mar 22, 2016

Let's examine the promises of Easter. Each promise is marked by something empty—an empty cross, empty clothes, and an empty cave. It is the very fact that each of these is empty that assures us God's promises are not.

EASTER: EMPTY PROMISES Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 3/27/2016 I just want to take a moment to thank everyone for choosing to spend Easter morning with us here at the Grove. Whether you’ve been coming to the Grove all your life, or this is your first time visiting, or ...read more

A Change Agent For Christ / Catalyst

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Aug 9, 2020

When Jesus said Ye are the salt of the earth He was making a proclamation and expectation. He is expecting for us to start something, to ignite a fire in people, to be the catalyst transforming the stinking mess of the world to burn for reconciliation with God.
