The Lion, The Lamb And The Throne Room Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 19, 2016

Almost everyone has a picture in their minds of what Jesus looks like... but almost no one visualizes Him the way He's shown in Revelation 5. Why does God paint us a portrait of a wounded lamb with 7 horns and 7 eyes?

A preacher was showing a child a painting of Jesus. Trying to explain that we didn’t really know what Jesus looked like he said: "It's not really Jesus. It’s just an artist's conception of him." The child looked long and hard at the picture and said; "Well, it sure looks like him," ...read more

The Sad, Sad Decision Of Cain, The Firstborn Of Adam And Eve (Expanded) – Genesis Chapter 4; Jude 1:12 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 16, 2022

When Jude deals with the ravenous wolves of the false teachers, his thoughts go to three vile people in the Old Testament. Today I am doing only one of those even though we touched on it in the past. Cain is the disobedient and murderous one. We will examine the story in more detail.

Habitation Of Shepherds

Contributed by James Dina on Feb 10, 2022

Our churches will no longer be a haven for beggars, but rather a haven for shepherds who have resolved to make disciples of all nations. Our land will no longer be called "desolate," but rather "Beulah," because the Lord delights in us, and our land will be married.

HABITATION OF SHEPHERDS "Thus says the Lord of hosts; again in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, shall be an habitation of shepherds, causing their flocks to lie down" (Jeremiah 33:12) KJV. Many people and nations face a lot of ...read more

Two Kinds Of Wildernesses

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 24, 2022

Do you feel like you're in the wilderness with no way out? This message looks at two possible reasons why someone might wind up there, by examining both the “sin-driven wilderness” and “Spirit-driven wilderness.”

The wilderness is a place that captures the imagination and stirs the soul. Native Americans, for example, will journey into the wilderness on a vision quest; thrill seekers will flock to the mountains and remote places in search of adventure; those who are overworked will retreat there for peace ...read more

Message In 1peter – Number 4 – Born Again Through That Which Is Imperishable, But What Is It? – 1peter 1:23 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 9, 2023

Peter teaches on the new birth. Being born again by the imperishable seed. There can be no regeneration of the human soul in any person’s life, which is dead to God, without the operation of the word of God. Therefore a preacher must be aware of the importance of the quickening word in preaching.

Some Resurrection Incentives Series

If you remove the resurrection, if you deny this crucial and wonderful truth of God's redemptive work, you have removed one of the greatest motivations the Lord gives for coming to Christ and for living for Christ.
