Hidden Gold

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Feb 19, 2022

This sermon follows a short skit describing the reality TV show, American Pickers. They scanned junk and found value in it. Jesus did the same when he found Matthew, the hated tax collector.

Jesus was a picker. He travelled the back roads of Israel looking for rusty gold. He saw amazing things buried in people's hearts. What most people saw as junk, he saw as disciples who could change the world. Each person had a history all his or her own. There was no such thing as a nobody ...read more

Find Joy In Service Series

We spend a lot of time in this life chasing things that we cannot take with us when we die. Paul recognizes the value of eternal rewards, and it’s a good problem to have to be conflicted between continuing to earn more, or being in heaven to enjoy what’s been won.

I. Intro A. Jim Elliot said, “He is no fool who give what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.” B. We spend a lot of time in this life chasing things that we cannot take with us when we die C.

Last week we ended our study with King Nebuchadnezzar ordering that all of the wise men of Babylon be destroyed.

Don’t Judge?

Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 18, 2021

The Bible says we're SUPPOSED to judge and that we're NOT supposed to judge. The key to the mystery has to do with people versus actions. We also have the responsibility to carry God's mail to the untaught.

“DON’T JUDGE?” Mt. 7:1 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Missing the Target is the Goal 1. Patrick McSherry told about how his Navy Dad always bragged about the gunners on his ship. Once during target practice, an unmanned drone flew past an anti-aircraft cruiser. The cruiser opened up, shells furiously ...read more

The Salt Of The Earth Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Sep 2, 2021

Jesus addressed the need for all believers to serve as the salt of the earth and light to this dark world. We will discover as we move through these verses both are necessary and much needed in our day. Each of these elements has a distinct and profound effect on their surroundings.

The Salt of the Earth Matthew 5: 13 We have spent a considerable amount of time dealing with the portion of the Sermon on the Mount known as the Beatitudes. I think you would agree those verses were a challenging and insightful study. As our Lord concluded His thoughts concerning the beatitudes, ...read more

Marching Orders

Contributed by Jesse Crooks on Feb 11, 2024

When Jesus had finished his earthly ministry and was about to return to His place at the right hand of the Father, He commissioned His disciples and His New Church with the words of our text. We call them, “The Great Commission.”

Marching Orders (Matthew 28: 18-20) All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am ...read more

Do You Love Jesus?

Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 19, 2024

In John 14:15, God commands us to keep His commandments if we love Him.

This statement given by our Lord to his disciples, reads as a command. In other versions, it is translated as a statement of fact. For example: 1. New American standard Bible: “if you love me, you will keep my commandments.” 2. New international version: “if you love me, you will do what I ...read more

Testimony From Prison Series

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Mar 18, 2023

While the Philippians wanted to know how Paul was doing so that they might further provide aid to help reduce his suffering, Paul wanted his “partner” to know that while he was in chains, the word of God certainly was not being restricted!
