On Justice - Biblical Foundations

Contributed by Byron Harvey on Jul 21, 2020

There is a lot of talk about "justice" these days--and rightly so--but "not everybody talkin' 'bout justice knows what they're talkin' 'bout". What does the Bible say about justice?

“These people? They honor God with their lips, but the truth is, their hearts are far from Him.” These are the words of Isaiah the prophet and Jesus the Messiah—and they describe the people to whom Micah speaks. Last week, as we began a short series entitled "For the City" from Micah, ...read more

Led By The Word Or Led By The World

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Oct 28, 2021

The purpose of this sermon 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

The Resurrection Of Christ - The Empty Tomb Investigation

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Nov 30, 2020

Today we will be investigating some of the facts or proofs of Christ's resurrection.

Last time, we looked at the various kinds of sufferings that Jesus Christ experienced both on His way to the Cross and once He was nailed to the Cross. We concluded, as the Scripture teaches, that Jesus died and was very much dead. He had to die in order to pay the penalty for our sin. Today we ...read more

The Peril Of Hardening Your Heart Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 25, 2021

Have you gotten used to saying "No" to God? It became a habit of the Children of Israel in the wilderness and ultimately resulted in an all-out rebellion against God that disqualified most of them from God's rest.

Author, theologian and Professor Craig Keener tells how his mother asked him if he believed in an after-life at the age of nine, and he replied no. She agreed with him and told him how most intellectuals did as well. So he felt affirmed in his atheism. The problem was that such a worldview left ...read more

. God Is Our Friend Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 10, 2021

The world is full of people angry at God for allowing so much evil, and it puts a strain on our conviction that God is really a caring friend.

Martin Luther spent a major portion of his life looking for a God who liked him. He was devoutly religious from his childhood, but religion was more a burden than a blessing, for his God was not his friend. He knew God hated sin and demanded perfection and so he was obsessed with trying to be ...read more

God In Omnipotent Part 2 Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 10, 2021

If God has really created beings who can choose, then there is a multiplicity of power sources in the world. He can no longer then be the only cause for all that is. There are now other power sources who can cause things to be that He does not will to be.

It is a great paradox, but the fact is, the real test of omnipotence is what it can do when it limits itself, and gives up absolute and total control. Absolute and total control means the power is not shared with other being. All is just as you will, and there can be no freedom of choice made by ...read more

A Thankful Spirit Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 10, 2021

A thankful spirit encourages others to see the positive in their own lives, and so being thankful is a ministry in a world where the bad news is thrown at us so often we tend to forget the good news. We need people with a thankful spirit to remind us that light is as real as the dark

The more I study the history of man and the sea, the more grateful I become that I am a landlubber. Tens of thousands of lives have been lost in ship wrecks in my lifetime. But some sailors have much to be thankful for in spite of ship wrecks. John O'Brian, for example, was off the coast of ...read more

A Simple Solution To Suffering Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021

Paul was a great sufferer of all kinds of unjust pain, and it was not because of sin, but because he was a servant of Christ.

One of the good things to come out of suffering is this: It forces those who cannot see any sense in it to grapple with the mystery, and strive to squeeze some meaning out of it. Almost everyone who writes on suffering does so out of their own personal encounter with this mysterious monster. In ...read more

Good Out Of Evil Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021

What Paul learned by his experience is that the bad stuff of life can be a way for God to use your life in a way that good things could not be used.

Luther Burbank, the world famous scientist, worked for years to try and develop a black-petaled lily. He had several thousand experimental lily plants in his laboratory. A sudden cloudburst let loose a flood of rain that they were all washed away. William Stidger tells of sympathizing with him over ...read more

Turning The Other Cheek

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 13, 2021

The religious leaders of the world can quote their wise and holy men in ways that show they too have many of the values of the Sermon on the Mount. But they have nothing to match the teachings of Christ on the love of one's enemies.

Almost everybody agrees with the Sermon on the Mount in general, but almost nobody can agree to the specifics of the last part of chapter 5. Even Nikita Krushev, an atheist, when he was the leader of Russia, could say he agreed with the Sermon on the Mount, for even in Russia they do not consider ...read more

The Great And Awesome Day Of The Lord

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 16, 2021

Our life should be all about living in expectation for Christ's return. Praying for the end. Working for the kingdom. Making sure that we’re at peace with God, and at peace with each other.

If we ever have questions about the end of the world and about what will happen when King Jesus returns in glory, we turn to the book of Revelation. There in that last book of the Bible, there’s much about the end-times: signs and wonders, disasters and persecutions, and the Lord Jesus coming in ...read more
