    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,261 views

    This is the "Total Depravity" sermon without using the stock theological labels. It is the first sermon in the series and it's covert because too many of our listens will shut down their receptors when they hear the words "Calvinism."

    Last week we listened to a story, a parable, that Jesus told about a Pharisee and a tax collector. Here is what he said: “To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: 10 "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a ...read more

    Christmas is a time of cheer. You might respond with, "not this year. The Christmas cheer has been replaced with Christmas fear!" There was both fear and cheer surrounding the events of the first Christmas.

    CHRISTMAS CHEER There's a Christmas song titled, Holly, Jolly Christmas. It starts out, "Have a holly jolly Christmas; It's the best time of the year. Now I don't know if there'll be snow; But have a cup of cheer". I wonder what's in that cup? But Christmas is a time ...read more

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 20, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,887 views

    When asked, people thought the most dangerous word might be ‘hate,’ ‘hell,’ 'fear,' 'revenge,' or 'death.' But the answer is a word much more innocent looking; it's the word "TOMORROW!"

    THE MOST DANGEROUS WORD IN THE BIBLE James 4:13-14 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: ONE-LINE QUIPS 1. What do you call a cow with a twitch? Beef Jerky. 2. Did you hear the rumor going around about butter?

     | 4,599 views

    We ask God to forgive us, but we often times withhold forgiveness from others. Yet, Lord Jesus issues a startling warning in Matthew 6:15: “But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”

    A Simple Metaphor Jesus Uses That Is Surprisingly Complicated Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 27, 2026
     | 254 views

    Jesus speaks here about "salt." It seems a simple word picture but it's more complicated than it first appears. What is Jesus trying to teach us here?

    - I’m going to take a deep dive into the words of Jesus here about salt. - At one level, this seems a simple metaphor. But I have long been frustrated that the actual words used here create some confusion. I leave with more questions than answers. Thus, I want to use this as an opportunity to dig ...read more

     | 3,839 views

    John 20 records Mary Magdalene's journeys to the tomb where the body of Jesus was placed. She was the first person to see and speak with the Risen Lord Jesus, and showed Him her undying love.

    Introduction: Mary Magdalene was one of the women who followed Jesus during His earthly ministry. Jesus had cast seven demons out of her at an earlier time (Luke 7-8:2) so no doubt she would be grateful for that miracle. She was there when the Lord’s body was laid in the tomb (Mark 15:40-47) and ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,366 views

    This is the first sermon in a series about Jesus being The Great Nevertheless. He keeps wonderfully surprising us. Using the Lord’s "nevertheless" statement in the KJV we get a delightful glimpse of our awesome Savior.

     | 15,894 views

    Sometimes God is silent. Pray anyway! Sometimes you might feel like God is a million miles away. Worship Him anyway! Let Him know you want to hear from Him. Ask Him to break the silence of heaven in your life.

    When God Broke the Silence Intro: It was a fog-shrouded morning, July 4, 1952, when a young woman named Florence Chadwick waded into the water off Catalina Island. She intended to swim the channel from the island to the California coast. Long-distance swimming was not new to her; she had been the ...read more

     | 45,273 views

    It’s easy to say that we love God, isn’t it? As long as we don’t probe any deeper than that. But the Bible does probe deeper than that, & it asks more questions than just that one.
