    Worthy Is The Lamb! (Revelation 5)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 8, 2024
     | 1,177 views

    The Lord Jesus Christ has all things and events under His Divine and Sovereign control. He has the final word on how everything will conclude. No amount of evil on the world's part will stop Him from His mission to "make all things new".

    I sometimes think that when we study the book of Revelation, we tend to focus upon the impending judgments of the wicked and the horrendous consequences that follow. While God's wrath is certainly a major theme of the book, we must remember that the book of Revelation is also a book of ...read more

    Instructions For Ministry (Matthew 10:5-42)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 10, 2025
     | 285 views

    In these verses, Matthew describes the responsibilities given to the apostles by the Lord Jesus. He anointed them with special powers and abilities to show people the power of God but also warned Mark 13;9-13of coming persecution for the cause of the Gospel.

    The Lord Jesus gave the apostles specific responsibilities and gifts to minister to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. His role as the Promised Messiah would be to not deliver the nation from the bondage of Rome, but to free them and all people from a far worse bondage, that of sin and it ...read more

    No pastor should abuse his authority, but neither should any member needlessly undermine the ministry by resisting his leadership when there is no sin or heresy involved.

    Scripture Reading: Hebrews 13:7,17 DISCLAIMER: This sermon in no wise condones abuse of authority or indicate that pastors are infallible. However, a man known to be of good character correctly interpreting the Word should be given due consideration when he seeks to lead the congregation in ...read more

     | 6,460 views

    Shouldn’t we as Christians also be willing to pay the price, especially when we are called by Christ to fight for the truth? After all, he is the final authority and power in the universe. Christ is King

    Today we mark the church’s version of New Year’s Eve. Next Sunday marks the start of Advent and Year C in the three year cycle of readings from the Revised Common Lectionary. It is a day when we remember that Jesus is the king of our lives. It is not an ancient festival in the Christian ...read more

     | 11,511 views

    There is a kind of death in family life today. Jesus offers unconditional compassion, used His authority to give life, and gives us as gifts to one another.

    One sweltering afternoon, on the dirty streets of a dangerous section of New Orleans, a man approached a woman with some papers in his hand. He asked Helen if she would agree to write letters to a man on death row at Angola prison. Helen agreed, rather absent-mindedly. She was used to people ...read more

    A Bible study series that addresses the authority of the Believer regarding spiritual warfare and the power of the enemy and answers the question, "Can A Christian Have A Demon"?

    Great debate began taking place during the middle of the last century within Christianity as to whether or not a genuine Born-Again Christian can be demon possessed. When asked “can a Christian have a demon?” I always reply, “Why would they want one?!” The debate revolved primarily around the ...read more

     | 3,443 views

    In Jesus’ confrontation with the Sadducees concerning the resurrection, Jesus shows from the Sadducees own Biblical authorities that God has always been the God of the Living, not the dead.

    Matt. 22:23-33, Lk 20:27-40, Mk 12:18-27 The event in today’s gospel lesson actually occurred within three days of Jesus crucifixion. Therefore, you would think this lesson appropriate for some Sunday during near the end of Lent, or during passion week. But, its subject matter makes it entirely ...read more

    Faith needs to be exercised. We can have faith in the Lord because His authority is absolute. Our faith in God is expressed through prayer and action.

    Exercise is important. To stay fit and healthy, to stay strong, we’re told to exercise regularly. You go to the gym and you’ll see all kinds of equipment to tone your body muscle and help you stay strong and healthy. In the spiritual realm, we need that too. We say we have faith in God.

    In Matthew 16, Jesus confers on Peter (and, later the other Apostles) authority to rule the Church, founded on the truth of Peter’s confession that Jesus is the Messiah.

    Matthew 16:13-20 800-Pound Gorilla? Or the First Pope? There’s a phrase that’s popular in modern discussions of any number of topics, and that phrase is this: “an 800 pound gorilla in the room.” An example would be this line which I plucked from a blog entry on the international economy as it ...read more

    First we must be following the right Jesus, and then we must ask ourselves if Jesus has authorized what we are doing for Him and in His name.

    Jesus preached the greatest sermon ever preached. We know it as the Sermon on the Mount. And towards the end of this sermon we find this morning’s scriptures. It has caused me to examine my actions as it relates to discipleship. Jesus starts off by telling us that not all people who sound ...read more
