Today we will learn from Abraham, known as the Father of Faith. Please open your Bibles to Hebrews 11… read along with me first of all verses 1-3, then ...read more

Paul's Sermon At Athens: The Unknown God Made Known, Part 2

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 12, 2021

Paul told the Athenians that God is not limited in power or His will and plans nor distant from His creation. This went against everything the Greeks had believed about the gods and goddesses they worshipped but with whom they had no relationship.

In his message to the Athenian elders concerning the true and living God, Paul shows us the characteristics of spiritual leadership in his application of responsibility and accountability for what is not just a teaching on God but a strategic plan in the invisible war between Almighty God and ...read more

The Victory Of The Crucified King

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 25, 2022

Pearl Harbor (December 7, 1941), the assassination of President Kennedy (November 22, 1963), and the terrorist act upon America (September 11, 2001) are all considered "infamous" days. The true "day of infamy" was 2000 years ago, when we attempted to kill God Incarnate.

The central theme of the Gospel is that the Lord Jesus was placed upon the cross for the redemption of our sins. It was an act of mercy, love, grace, and salvation that we did not deserve (Romans 5:6-11). It was also the day that rebellious humanity shook its fist at God Almighty, and the ...read more

The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ: A Refresher Course In Evidence

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 10, 2023

The Scriptures tell of the event of the resurrection of Jesus Christ as being an undeniable historical fact with eyewitness and secondary evidence to back it that would be admissible in any objective court of law. This is no case of wishful thinking, but the conclusion of a promise kept.

If we were to present the case for the resurrection of Jesus Christ in a court of law, we would have to first refute the notion or belief that this was nothing more than "faith" on the part of the apostles and all who have followed Him throughout history. I have pointed out in a recent ...read more

Daniel - Writing On The Wall Series

Instead of preparing for battle, Belshazzar threw a party..... It would be his last.

June 10, 2023 Our story today only covers the last night of king Belshazzar’s life, so all we know of him is what extra-biblical history and archaeology tells us.

Jesus’s First Public Events, Part 1 Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Sep 28, 2025

When we see what Jesus can do, two things becomes evident: We either believe that He is the Messiah capable of providing for us, or, we deny His ability to do anything for us and call Him, and His Word, a liar.

What Is Your True Name? What God Calls You

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Aug 25, 2024

The world attempts to label us as many different things, and even convinces us to believe those names. But how does God define us? And how do we go about believing it through and through?

"To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it." -Revelation 2:17 What is your true name? My first thought was of Helen Keller, and how she was ...read more

Shavuot: The Feast Of Weeks (Pentecost)

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 1, 2024

Pentecost foreshadows that during the church age, a new phase in God’s program has emerged: Jewish and Gentile believers are united in one body through the Holy Spirit -- and God uses them to labor in His harvest field.

Shavuot: The Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) (Leviticus 23:15-23) 1. A Christian man and a Jewish man were debating which faith was best. The Jewish man argued, “We gave you the 10 Commandments.” The Christian responded, “Yes, but you can’t say we’ve kept them!” Many Christians are surprised to ...read more

Hearing And Responding To God's Word

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Jan 4, 2026

When God’s Word is heard, it always calls for a response. Today we look at how true worship begins when we let Scripture convict, change, and fill us with the joy of God’s mercy.

Good morning. We have two readings today that describe a gathering of God’s people around reading His Word, they’re read together this Sunday to give us a nice Biblical compare/contrast on how to react when you hear God’s word, and especially when it is convicting. It’s also opportunity to reflect ...read more

"Are You Listening?"

Contributed by Clark Tanner on Apr 12, 2005

When the Word of the Lord is truly preached, the Lord of the Word is speaking. Are you listening?

“And they began calling Barnabas, Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.” Every once in a while we preachers get a reality check concerning just how well we are communicating and how well people are listening to the things we say from the pulpit. That’s good. I think ...read more
