    This sermon explores the authority of Jesus as the Messiah, the pride and blindness of the Pharisees, and the call for humility and inclusivity in faith.

    Welcome church! Today we’ve got an interesting passage about the authority of Jesus and the inability of the Pharisees to see Jesus for who He is. And, smack dab in the middle of it all there is a parable about 2 sons. How are these things related? Why is authority important and what role does ...read more

    If we are going to respect and commit to obey the commandments we have a right to know "Who says so? By Whose authority?"

    “Law & Order: SPU – Who Says So?” Exodus 20:1-2; Mt. 22:34-40 The church I served in Grand Rapids had a lot of acreage and had turned part of it into 3 softball diamonds. Monday - Thursday nights, all summer long, various church leagues played their slow-pitch games there. Three ...read more

    Understanding that stress and incivility on the job lead to poorer health, and knowing that both are on the rise, how do we transform our workplaces?

    “Building Quality Relationships: With Workers - Transform Your Workplace” Eph. 6:5-9 Your job might be killing you—literally. More specifically, strained relationships with co-workers could be negatively impacting your health and longevity. That's the conclusion of a 20-year ...read more

    God disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame by triumphing over them in Christ’s work at the cross.

    INTRODUCTION Please turn in your Bibles to Colossians chapter 2. We’ll read verse 15 this morning as we continue in the letter to the Colossians. This verse completes Paul’s paragraph in which he is helping the Colossian believers and us to understand all that we have in Christ; all that is true ...read more

    You Have The Authority, "So Why Aren't You Using It!

     | 9,829 views

    God hears us loud and clear the first time when we call on Him, He is ready, willing and able to help us, the moment we do. The thing is though, we don’t have to pray pleading, desperate prayers all the time to get His attention.

    You have the Authority “so use it” Exodus 14:15–16 NKJ 15. And the Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward. 16. But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it... The issue with Christians today is ...read more

    Introduction - Children’s Prayers A mother was teaching her three-year-old the Lord’s Prayer.

    Countering Drip-By-Drip Change...

     | 4,418 views

    Sometime change in our, and our churches, Christian perspective is so slow that we fail to recognize what is happening. It is like the drip-by-drip change, which Nazi ideology brought to Germany.

    Countering Drip-by-Drip Change... Illustration We need to take the time to question how the German people could have allowed Nazi fanatics to turn their country into a Satanic tool that killed Jews by the millions? While it is true that early on some Germans openly adopted pagan and irreligious ...read more

    Did God Create Humans Male And Female - And Non-Binary Or Trans-Gender?

    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,323 views

    The subjective ever-changing cultural mores continue to creep into the church to replace the Bible as the final and absolute authority in the life of the Born-Again Christian.

    The mother of a high school student told me that a few kids in the youth group said they were non-binary (also known as ENBY or NB) and were questioning the Bible about its two sexual gender emphasis. That disturbed me deep in my spirit which led to this message. I started ministry decades ...read more

    A Broken Man Before The Boundless Gospel

     | 428 views

    Locked doors and crowded rooms can stop most people, but real faith finds a way. In Mark 2:1–12 four friends tear through a roof to place a paralytic before Jesus—He forgives first, then heals—showing His authority and calling us to carry others to Him.

    A little while ago I was installing a keypad lock on the door to my upstairs studio—just trying to add an extra layer of security for my equipment, cameras, computers, all that production stuff. So I set the keypad lock up, got the old handle out of the door, got the batteries in, set the code, all ...read more

    Is Official/Formal Church Membership In A Local Church According To Scripture? – Part 4 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 7, 2025
     | 249 views

    This is the final part and we look at a numbers of issues here as well as two statements from Internet sites on why membership is important. Over and over I am opposing this notion that commitment is connected with official membership. It is judgemental and untrue. I hope this is of some value.

    IS OFFICIAL/FORMAL CHURCH MEMBERSHIP IN A LOCAL CHURCH ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE? – PART 4 We have been looking at some passages of scripture from Paul’s writings and in vain, do we look for even the slightest suggestion that a church has official membership that discriminates among the Christians ...read more

    I’m concerned about the future, for it seems that our nation is now establishing, through many of its leaders, courts & judges, a distinctively anti-Christian agenda. The values we cherish are under assault.

    Yes, I hate to tell you but He loves me the best. Well actually He loves and cares for everyone who comes to Him and all of a sudden you will realise that you are His favourite. I am not just a number in the system.

    Matthew 8:5-7 JESUS HAS NO FAVOURITES, EXCEPT ME! I'm now just another number in the system of "New Start".
