    The text I read to you came as the Levites gather for the dedication of the city wall; It was completely rebuilt in 52 days! Happiness and joy can be heard among this Jewish group of believer’s.

    Philadelphia: The Church With The Open Door

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 9, 2020
     | 6,330 views

    Like Smyrna, the Lord offered only encouragement for Philadelphia, with no rebuke. They were a people of little strength, and yet they held great potential. Christ promised to open doors no man could close. He reminded them of His preeminence and the security of their future.

    Philadelphia – The Church with the Open Door Revelation 3: 7-13 Philadelphia is the sixth church addressed by Jesus. Like Smyrna, Jesus offered no rebuke, only encouragement for their faithfulness and endurance in the midst of opposition. Jesus knew they were a people of “little strength,” and yet ...read more

    “Are We Listening?” Luke 9:28-36 “Are you listening?” a mother asks her child.

     | 1,674 views

    This passage of scripture has many surprises, but we want to look especially at two of them; ONE GOOD SURPRISE and ONE BAD SURPRISE.

    Illus: This passage reminds me of the story of the little mother of seven children. She was leaving to go to a surprise party, and all seven of them wanted to go with her. One asked, "Mom, can we go with you?" She said, "No, it is a surprise party." One of the little ones ...read more

    Gods Purpose Of Grace: Election And Eternal Security Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Dec 14, 2022
     | 2,561 views

    Election is God’s purpose and initiative in man’s salvation. God is the one who acts. God’s initiative is there in revelation of His Word and in redemption. We balance election with human freedom.

    There is the funny story that a man died and went to heaven only to find out that heaven was divided into two groups. There was the predestination group whose main emphasis was God chose me. Then there was the free will group that emphasized their choice in coming to God. When he realized he ...read more

     | 2,791 views

    There is a small inscription etched in that side mirror and I want to use that little line as the topic of this sermon this morning, It reads, objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.

    OBJECTS IN THE MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR As I was driving down the road one day, I began to think if life can be compared to driving. I thought on that comparison on this subject and a phrase came to me and it goes something like this. If life is like a highway, then the soul must be the ...read more

    When We Are Powerless Series

     | 5,536 views

    There are many situations in life which make us feel powerless. Knowing that we are powerless causes us to look in faith to Jesus dies for us in accordance with a powerfully-timed and powerfully-executed plan. Knowing this plan enables us to boast in our powerlessness.

    Jesus Is Still Sovereign Romans 5:6-11 When We Are Powerless “I am cooped up. I feel powerless.” “The restrictions keep changing so quickly. I feel powerless.” “I have a much higher level of anxiety. I feel powerless.” Powerless. That is a feeling we have experience more in these past weeks, ...read more
