God Of Salvation

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jul 11, 2021

God wanted to spare the people of Nineveh. He didn't want them to face his judgement. But first, he had to save his servant Jonah. Being inside a big fish in the depths of the sea wasn't Jonah's real problem.

Today we’re continuing our series in Jonah. My first talk was titled ‘God of compassion’. Nineveh, the capital of Assyria, was wicked. God described it as wicked and historians tell us that Assyria was wicked. It wasn’t just a little bit wicked. One historian of the Middle East wrote that ...read more

The Arrest Of Jesus - Mark 14:41-52 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on May 12, 2024

What's with the strange story about the young man fleeing naked at Jesus' arrest? Mark leaves out so many big aspects of that event, but he includes this. Is it a meaningless, throwaway story? Or is it Mark at his best, crafting a profound message in a vivid picture?

Jesus leads the 12 into battle even though he knows they will fail. When the hour comes, you’ll have to face the battle, ready or not. Jesus fights this battle on four fronts. Front #1: Judas (Jesus fights dis-couragement by calling out to Abba, Father). Front #2: the rogue disciple who jeopardizes ...read more

The Difference Series

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Mar 26, 2024

Many people wonder what the big deal is about Jesus' resurrection since there have been other people who woke up from the dead. Jesus, however, is different from everyone else. He is the only one who rose and never did again. Halleluiah!

So what Jesus resurrected? Has he been the only one who has ever been raised from death? Yes, to this question, there is no big deal because so many other people have been raised from death. Example before Jesus: • The widow of Zarephath’s son - 1 Kings 17:22 • The Shunamite’s son - 2 Kings ...read more

Just Do It! Series

Contributed by Dan Campbell on Nov 29, 2006

The most common thing associated with the Christian life is to take God’s word and go through the process of internalizing it. When you first become a Christian you hardly know where to begin. I read through the Bible every year. It’s a big task to tak

Unity Of The Body - 1 Series

Contributed by Dan Cormie on Oct 15, 2011

In order to reveal the miracle of unity that exists in Christ, Paul lays down the harsh reality of how divided the fall has left us. He doesn’t want the Ephesians (or us) to miss the weight of this thing. He doesn’t want a “no big deal” attitude to arise

So, Gideon's army is gathered but it's too big. How does God whittle it down to size? How does God orchestrate the attack? Who wants equal billing with God in taking credit? Gideon. God deserves all of the glory for all of the great things He does! Amen?

Glorify The Lord With Me!

Contributed by William Akehurst on Mar 13, 2023

BIG IDEA: To Glorify GOD is to give HIM honor and praise. It also means to live our lives in a way that pleases HIM. In scripture, we learn to forgive because we have been forgiven. In this same sense, we Glorify GOD because HE Glorifies us through JESUS.

It's A Gift

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Dec 28, 2016
