    Contributed by Craig Benner on Feb 29, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,652 views

    We preach all the time about those who have been in church and then go back to the world and lose their salvation. How about those who stay in church but have become lost?

    LOST AT HOME Luke 15:8-10 8 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? 9 And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I ...read more

     | 10,497 views

    Peter, the greatest of the 12, a man of faith & power, took 7 backward steps that nearly ruined his ministry. But God's love & grace was greater than his sin. He was restored and again became God's prime mover. Look for these 7 steps in your life.

    THE 7 BACKWARD STEPS OF PETER Mk. 14:30-72 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A college student went into a large pet supply store and approached the pet food counter, “Hi! I would like to order 30,000 cockroaches to be picked up tomorrow, please.” 2. The astonished clerk said, “What in the world would ...read more

     | 4,300 views

    How does God's grace help us when we turn away from Him?

    RESTORING GRACE Many of us can remember when we were in elementary school of what would happen as soon as the teacher left the room. She would have to go out for some reason and would always tell the class, “Be quiet while I am gone and study!” However, as soon as the cat was away the mice would ...read more

    The God Of Jonah

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 18, 2022
     | 2,172 views

    The story of Jonah is so exciting that some people believe it is no more than a fairy tale filled with exaggerations.

    When it comes to exaggeration, we are reminded of the story of the little boy who was known for his problem with exaggeration. He came home from school one day and said, "Mom, I saw a dog as big as an elephant." The mother said, "Johnny, haven't I told you a billion times not ...read more

    The Letter To Sardis

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Oct 7, 2021
     | 1,010 views

    This will sit well with those who believe that you can lose your justification because of your actions. The belief of once saved always saved is clearly challenged in this letter. When one comes to be a disciple of Jesus Christ one must follow the words of Him.

    The Letter to Sardis Revelation 3:1-6 Michael H. Koplitz The letter to the church at Sardis is a straightforward letter with very little symbolism. The one who holds the seven stars is Jesus Christ. We have read about this symbolism in earlier letters. The reference that is made to those who will ...read more

     | 1,130 views

    There are few (if any!) passages in the Bible more challenging than Hebrews 10:26-31...

    Aside from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, I wonder if anyone here this morning can tell me what may have been the most famous sermon ever preached… I don’t have any statistics to back me up, but I am certain that one of the top contenders has to be a sermon delivered to a congregation in Enfield, ...read more

     | 1,285 views

    King Ahaz provides a surprising contrast to the kingdom of Israel as we see a dramatic example of the limits of our traditional morality.

    IT'S OBVIOUS, RIGHT? “Good people” are more likely to follow God. - We have a traditional morality with “good people.” The respectable citizens are more likely to follow God. TWO EXAMPLES: 1. KING AHAZ HAD A GOOD HERITAGE BUT TERRIBLE BEHAVIOR. - 2 Chronicles 28:1-4, 16-25. - Came from a ...read more
