    How To Treat Jesus Series

    Contributed by Ray Geide on Jan 17, 2022
     | 1,886 views

    Singers often have contracts with a venue that spell out how they are to be treated. What if God had a contract? What if in that contract, He spelled out how He wanted to be treated? What would be in the contract? We will consider some possibilities today.

    How to Treat Jesus (John 3:22-36) When Kanye West goes to a venue to perform, he requires that there be a slushy machine for him to use. Singers often have contracts with a venue that spell out how they are to be treated. Madonna must have a vegan chef. Jack White must have fresh home-made ...read more

     | 1,962 views

    God is mindful of all our ways and therefore it is crucial that we live in such a way that we receive a good testimony from God. The bible records these attestations of God, about those who walked in total obedience to Him.

    We read in Psalm 91:15, “He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him.” (AFV) For our study today we will only focus on the first part of this verse, “He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;” These are the words of the ...read more

    Ruth had lost everything. But, not all hope was lost because God’s blessing was at work behind the scenes. Ruth was asking Boaz to fulfill her request to be a “Kinsman Redeemer”.

    FAITH, LOYALTY and HONOR Text: Ruth 3:1- 5, 4:13 - 17 Ruth 3:1-5  Then Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, “My daughter, should I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you?  (2)  Is not Boaz our relative, with whose young women you were? See, he is winnowing barley ...read more

    How Simeon Had Peace At His Death Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 17, 2021
     | 2,769 views

    This sermon focuses on the interesting comment that Simeon makes that, having seen the Messiah, he is now ready to die in peace. What would it take for us to die in peace?

    READY TO GO? What would make you say, “Now I can die in peace”? - I ask this question in the half-joking way that we usually use this phrase. Someone meets their sports hero and then says, “Now I can die in peace.” Some teen girls go see Shawn Mendes in concert and leave saying, “Now I can die ...read more

    …the Good Hand Of His God Upon Him

    Today in this sermon, we want to turn our attention to a very special man. His name is Ezra. He is one of those fellows you do not hear a great deal about, but yet he was a giant among men in the spiritual world.

    Ezra was a priest, but he was not able to serve in the temple because the temple had been destroyed. This could be why we do not hear a lot about Ezra. He was not a temple priest. Ezra is noted for other things, such as: • He studied the Word of God. In Ezra 7:6, we read that he was, “A ready ...read more

    Isn’t Advent a time of expectation and preparation? Doesn’t Advent challenge us to make changes in our lives? ... Didn’t David write this Psalm expressing remorse as well as the hunger for righteousness that only God could give him? Do we have that yearning in common with David?

    Remember O Lord, Your Great Mercy Text: Psalm 25 Psalm 25:1-10  Of David. To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul.  (2)  O my God, in you I trust; do not let me be put to shame; do not let my enemies exult over me.  (3)  Do not let those who wait for you be put to shame; let ...read more
