  • I’d Like To Teach God’s People To Sing… - 1 Peter 3:8a Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jan 7, 2025
     | 236 views

    This section is on how to handle mistreatment within the church.

    1 Peter 3:8 Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. 9 Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. 10 For, "Whoever would ...read more

  • The Servant Who Hears God's Voice (Isaiah 50:4-11) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 13, 2025
     | 365 views

    Sermon's focus is on listening to God. The servant is part of the group of disciples who hear God's voice. The servant suffers, but is confident that he suffers innocently, and that God will vindicate him.

    Our passage today is commonly called the third of the four servant songs in Isaiah 40-55. The other three, famously, are in Isaiah 42, 49, and 53. I've said before that over a century ago, a scholar named Bernard Duhm split off these four songs from the rest of Isaiah 40-55, and treated ...read more

  • 7 Tests For A God-Glorifying Ministry - 1 Peter 4:11 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jan 30, 2025
     | 292 views

    When speaking, use the words of God. And when serving, do it in a way that shows God to be the source of the strength.

    1 Peter 4:8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 9 Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's multifaceted grace. 11 If anyone speaks, ...read more

  • What Is The Difference?

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Feb 1, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 639 views

    God is sovereign. God is just, and He is merciful. Your view of God dictates how you treat mankind.

    “The word of the LORD came to me: ‘What do you mean by repeating this proverb concerning the land of Israel, “The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge?” As I live, declares the Lord GOD, this proverb shall no more be used by you in Israel. Behold, all souls are ...read more

  • Eldership - 1 Peter 5:1 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Feb 7, 2025
     | 162 views

    Different denominations have different traditions about what the elders' job description should be. But there shouldn't be differing traditions. Peter makes it very clear.

    Churches are to be elder-led. The term elder refers to a position of authority and leadership, but elders should work with congregations in major decisions like a husband with his wife. Elders should be nominated by the people and appointed by the other elders. The elder takes over the roles of the ...read more

  • Shepherd The Flock Part 2 - 1 Peter 5:2a Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Feb 11, 2025
     | 172 views

    Is there any job description more important than for pastors? Peter lays it down for us.

    1 Peter 5:1-10 Therefore to the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder and a witness of Christ's sufferings who also will share in the glory to be revealed: 2 Shepherd God's flock that is under your care, overseeing--not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you ...read more

  • God Of The Amen

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Feb 15, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 532 views

    God stands athwart the evil that people embrace. He blesses those who endeavour to serve Him, and curses those who seek to promote themselves.

    “Thus says the Lord GOD: ‘Behold, my servants shall eat, you shall be hungry; behold, my servants shall drink, but you shall be thirsty; behold, my servants shall rejoice, but you shall be put to shame; behold, my servants shall sing for gladness of heart, but you shall cry out for pain of ...read more

  • Self-Humbling - Matthew 6:16-18 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Oct 19, 2024
     | 511 views

    Fasting is never commanded in the NT, yet all the godliest people in the Bible did it. If it is important, why isn't it discussed in the epistles? If it is not important, why did Jesus do it? And why did he promise reward if we do it?

    Matthew 6:16 When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 17 But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18 so that it will not be obvious to men ...read more

  • An Incomplete Message

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Oct 26, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,205 views

    God is the central character in the Book of Job. We discover what is lacking in our own lives as we witness God revealing His character in this account of His dealing with one suffering saint.

    “Job answered the LORD and said: ‘I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted. “Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?” Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know. “Hear, and I will ...read more

  • The Church Has Left The Building!

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 2, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 882 views

    God may use persecution to compel the faithful to fulfil His commands. That was assuredly the case for the first church, and it may be the case in this day.

    ACTS 8:1b-4 THE CHURCH HAS LEFT THE BUILDING! “There arose on that day a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. Devout men buried Stephen and made great lamentation over him. But Saul was ...read more

  • Don’t Run For Gatorade - Matthew 6:28-33 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Nov 6, 2024
     | 356 views

    How are promises of God's protection and provision comforting if all the things you are afraid of still might happen?

    Matthew 6:25 Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and ...read more

  • Pearl Haters - Matthew 7:6 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Nov 9, 2024
     | 433 views

    If they trample the truth underfoot and become hostile, walk away. The Gospel is for the receptive only.

    Matthew 7:1 "Do not judge so that you will not be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3 "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your ...read more

  • The Glory Of The Story - 1 Peter 1:10-12 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Nov 29, 2024
     | 403 views

    Why did the prophets search their own writings? Did they not understand what they wrote? If that's the case, what were they trying to communicate when they wrote it?

    The prophets searched Scripture to find out what kind of era it would be when the Messiah would suffer and then be glorified. But they were told that it was not for them to know. We get to participate in this glorious kingdom in the Church (why would a Christian prefer the world to the Church?). ...read more

  • Why Fear A Redeemer? - 1 Peter 1:17-18 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Dec 1, 2024
     | 260 views

    We will face judgment for our deeds, good and bad, on Judgment Day, and we also face judgment in the form of chastisement in this life. Both should affect our behavior.

    1 Peter 1:17 Since you call on a Father who judges each man's work impartially, live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear. 18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the worthless way of life handed down to you from your ...read more

  • Wrong About Judgement

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 7, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 470 views

    Christ is the Righteous Judge of all mankind. Ultimately, we shall appear before the Judgement Seat of Christ, or we must appear before the Great White Throne. It is Christ Who will judge in either case.

    “I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.” Serious questions concerning the administration of justice have been raised by rulings and charges brought against people in Canada and the United States. ...read more
