    Inclusion Is What We Need, Not Power Hungry People

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Aug 11, 2021

    Jesus rebuked His disciples because they wanted to keep the power of healing for themselves. This is happening in church today even though Jesus said it is wrong!

    I think that it is sad that when I read this narrative, it made me think about the control the church has held over people for almost 2000 years. The church used only one verse, thus out of context, to control people. Catholics could not own a Bible until 1964 CE. The idea that a person has to ...read more

    The Book Of Mark #62

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,810 views

    This can be a difficult chapter to understand! It becomes difficult because some of the things the Lord talks about in this passage are BEFORE and some are AFTER the tribulation period.

    You can not take Matthew 24, 25, or Mark 13 and say this is how things are going to happen chronologically. Everything that the Lord said would happen, will happen, but not in the sequence He gives them. Notice, as the disciples were walking with Jesus past the Temple, they commented on the ...read more

    Are You Fit To Be Tied? Part Iv

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 1, 2022
     | 1,284 views

    These days we often hear the question, "Why are there so many divorces?" The answer to that question is found in the Word of God. It is because of sin.

    All across this nation we have lost our fear of sin. Fear will cause us to protect ourselves and avoid what is harmful to us. Illus: Most of us have a real healthy fear of snakes. This is a healthy fear because it keeps us from being harmed. If we were not afraid of snakes we might carry them ...read more

    It is because we’re only human that we can come into God’s presence only under Jesus’ sponsorship, and clothed in his grace.

    I got an offer last week that I almost didn’t refuse. It was from a travel company who, in return for my coming to a one-hour pitch for their company, would give me 4 free days and nights in any one of dozens of different destinations, and if I came between Tuesday and Thursday they’d double the ...read more

    Missing Stones Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 11, 2022
     | 3,390 views

    We no longer have to go to the Temple made of stone to worship God and be in God’s Presence because He resides in the Temple of our hearts.

    [Note: Every week, I've been handing out stones and then asking them to put their stone at the foot of the cross at the end of the sermon. This week, I asked them to keep their stone to remind them of what the other stones represent. So, at the start of this sermon, point to the pile of ...read more

    The Ultimate Wilderness Guide

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on May 15, 2023
     | 1,064 views

    Lack of belief is a sin because if you don't understand that reunion with God is the purpose of life, you will wind up lost. Literally.

    I was 8 years old when my family moved to Brazil. Everything changed: language, food, customs, weather. And one of the things that I at least did not expect was the absence of school buses. If Dad couldn’t take us we had to take public transportation: a taxi, a tram, a bus. We usually took a city ...read more

    The King Of Truth

    People often become obsessed with royalty because they need someone to look up to, to be part of something larger than themselves. But they are always disappointed.

    We fought a war, once, to get rid of a king. Two hundred and twenty-two years ago Americans took up arms to win our independence from King George III of England. Some of the biggest issues were trade and taxes, sound familiar? “Fast Track” and IRS reform, 18th-century style. I suppose it’s always ...read more

    The Valley Is A Temporary Place

    The valleys of life are not dead-end streets, because God provides a way for us to get through. This is a rewrite of Spencer Miller’s great message.

    THE VALLEY IS A TEMPORARY PLACE Psalms 23:1-6 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR A man was thrown out of the breakroom, yesterday, at Walmart. They asked him what he was doing there. He told them he was on a break. They said, “But you don’t work here.” He said, “Notice: I just finished using self-check-out, ...read more

    No matter what trial or terrible event or test or happenstance we must endure, Jesus calls us to be faithful to the end because He is in control.

    Nothing Is Impossible Series

    The God who opened closed wombs is the same God who can cause a virgin to conceive the Son of God, because nothing is impossible with God.

    Luke 1:26–56 ESV In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary. And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” ...read more

    An Anchor For The Soul

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jan 30, 2023
     | 5,332 views

    Jesus is our sure and steadfast anchor of the soul. We can trust Him because of the certainty of His Promise, His Purpose and His Person.

    Hebrews 6:13-20 ESV 13For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself, 14saying, “Surely I will bless you and multiply you.” 15And thus Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise. 16For people swear by something greater than ...read more

    Every carpenter should enjoy reading his Bible because much of it deals with building terminology to which he could relate. For example, in...

    - Matthew 16:18. We read, “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will BUILD my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” - Romans 15:20.

    Three Looks Of The Apostle Paul

     | 3,580 views

    God saved Paul because He loved him. That is, God saved Paul for the same reason He saves any man or woman.

    God is not willing that any should perish. After God saved Paul, God used him to show us that we can not be saved through our lineage, or good works. For example, in verses 4-6, Paul is laying his past life out before us. And, if anyone had a right to boast in their lineage and ...read more

    One Accord

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 26, 2022

    As a pastor I find this verse of scripture amazing. Why? Because this verse tells us two amazing things: the New Testament church was:

    • IN ONE ACCORD • IN ONE PLACE. Accomplishing either one of these would be marvelous, but to accomplish both is astounding. Illus: This couldn’t be a Baptist Church!!! Can you imagine getting everyone to attend. Illus: Occasionally, many churches have a “NO EXCUSE SUNDAY,” trying to get ...read more

    Jesus tells a man he is a fool because he is more concerned about his wealth than he is about his relationship with God.

    Luke 12:13-21 Don’t be a fool 1. Jesus encourages folks to watch out for Greed • Jesus says, in verse 15: “Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.” • The brother in the text is concerned about his share of an ...read more
