The Rebellion Of Korah Is An Example Of The Rebellious False Teachers - Jude 1 V 11(C) Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 16, 2022

Jude has been exposing the false teachers quite graphically. One was a murderer, one perverted God's people for money, and here is Korah, a man of rebellion. God put him to the test and he failed. This whole account is examined in this message.

THE REBELLION OF KORAH IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE REBELLIOUS FALSE TEACHERS - Jude 1 v 11(c) In a previous message we looked at Cain and Korah together. This time only Korah is in the spotlight and the account has been expanded. Jude 1 v 11 Woe to them for they have gone the way of Cain, and for pay, ...read more

I Am The Light Of The World – Light In The Darkness – John 9 - Part 2 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 2, 2022

In Part 1 we looked at the blind man from John 9 where Jesus said He was the Light of the World. Now we are going to consider practical verses dealing with walking in the light of God - our walk in light with Christ, our Light.

I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD – LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS – JOHN 9 - PART 2 We have been working through the Series on THE “I AMs” of John’s Gospel, and last time we covered the first Part of “I am the Light of the World”.

What Is Beauty Based

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021

Men do not claim to understand women, but they do understand beauty. A man does not need to know anything about flowers to appreciate and enjoy them. So also, ignorance cannot rob men of the one thing they do know about women, and that is their beauty.

Every woman wants to be beautiful, and that is why the beauty business is a seven billion dollar a year industry, and the largest advertiser in America. American women actually worship beauty. They will do almost anything to attain it, including fasting if it is necessary. They will try anything, ...read more

Jesus "i Am" The Bread Of Life Series

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Jun 27, 2021

Whenever Jesus said “I Am’ it became a moment between God and man and for those who believed a renewal moment. The name “I Am” refers to God as the God of the past, the present and the future! Jesus uses this name and verifies it again in the book of Revelation!

My Greatest Need

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 22, 2023

The question is: How has Jesus restored your life? Just as Jesus brought physical healing to the man by the sheep gate through the power of His words, He has brought you spiritual healing through His death, burial, and resurrection.

Last week we started talking about what Jesus has done for us as we approach the Easter season. We looked at the long list of things that Jesus has done for us but finally decided that the greatest thing that Jesus did for us was to provide Himself. Today I want to look briefly at how Jesus ...read more

The Question Of The Cross

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Apr 4, 2023

Everyone who was there, at the cross, had a question, except the ones who were sure they already had the answers.. . What’s going on? What am I doing here? Who is that man, anyway? What am I going to do?

Were you there when they crucified my Lord? They were all people just like us, you know. It might just have well have been we who were there, not them. It would all have happened just the same. Were you one of the ones that hadn’t really been paying attention? Were you one of the curious ...read more

Breaking The Power Of Pride

Contributed by Brian Williams on Apr 6, 2023

Believers may not often realize it, we are either centered on man or centered on God. There is no alternative. Either God is the center and we have become rightly adjusted to him, or we are the center and everything revolves around us. How is power of pride broken?

There are basically two types of evil on this earth - natural evils which include earthquakes, typhoons, tsunamis, flash floods, etc. Things that take lives and bring devastation to humankind and the rest of creation. And then there are moral evils - evils that people commit, for example mental, ...read more

Jesus Is Horn Of Salvation Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Dec 22, 2021

Horn refers to the victory, strength, might of a man. The valour is our God. Jesus is our Horn of salvation. Zechariah was silenced for nine months it was a divine rebuke for his unbelief, but God always turns his rebuke into rewards for those who keep their faith.

Theme: A Horn of Salvation (Luke 1:69) Text: Luke 1:65-80 Illustration: Christmas dinner table: Mom, is it good to eat flies?” asked a boy. “Let’s not talk about such things at the dinner table, son,” his mother replied.

The Gospel writers significant theme was Jesus, the humble man from Nazareth is the Saviour of the world, who was called Jesus to refer that he will save his people from their sins(Matthew 1:21). I would like to share three points on Saviour.

Jesus Christ: Our Divine Teacher, Part 1

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 30, 2021

John 3 introduces us to Nicodemus, a religious man who seemed sincere in wanting to know more about Jesus. He received the greatest lesson in that a real relationship with God is made possible only by the finished work of Christ on the cross and His resurrection.

The third chapter of John's Gospel gives us a portrait of the Lord Jesus as the Divine Teacher. He has already been presented as the Light, The Word of God, the Lamb of God, and the Messiah. Now He gives His attention to teach us how to flee the darkness of this world and come to the Light, ...read more

After God’s Own Heart

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 21, 2022

David was a man after God’s own heart, because of his integrity. Through an overview of David's life, we explore what it is to have the heart of God, by contrasting “Saul’s heart of defiance” with “David’s heart of obedience.”

Baptist Men’s Day, on the Southern Baptist Convention calendar, is observed on January 24, 2021 (which, of course, we are a week late). I have written this morning’s sermon to recognize the men of our congregation, and we’re going to be looking at living a life of integrity before God. Our ...read more

The Gold Of Heaven Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 8, 2021

The gold, the jewels, the beautiful garden fruit trees, and the clear flowing stream from the throne of God, are all a part of the final paradise. Peace and prosperity forever is just what man most craves. That is what the search for gold has always meant to people.

On our vacation in South Dakota, we stopped in the small town of Keystone. Almost every store in town had a variety of Black Hills Gold on display. Seeing all this gold made me want to study gold in the Bible. The streets of the New Jerusalem are to be made of pure gold, and that means gold ...read more

Jesus And Santa

Contributed by Jacob Brimm on Apr 21, 2021

What do Jesus and Santa have in common? Nothing? Perhaps more than you think, just not how you think! The true story of a man who got a name, though he personally would rather all credit go to The Son!

While we know very little about the man who likely bore the name, the most likely person was the Bishop of Myra, near modern Finike, Turkey, in the 300s. Nicholas' parents died when he was just a teenager. His parents left him a lot of money which made him a rich young man. He went to live ...read more

God Of Love, God Of Justice: A Future Heaven, A Future Hell

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 26, 2021

God's works are many in the world and of particular beauty. Yet there is also the proclivity of man toward evil. God allows for free will, which opens the doors to almost any possibility. Which explains why the world is so messed up.

“There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, in the end, "Thy will be done." All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires ...read more

The Passage Through The Night

Contributed by Tarran Dookie on Nov 4, 2024

God is light and light is inherent in God. The nature of God is opposite to darkness. Believers are children of the day and not of the night. God will test every man's work in the crucible of the night. May we not be found wanting but make the passage through the night in victory.

THE PASSAGE THROUGH THE NIGHT (by brother Tarran Dookie) WHENCE CAME DARKNESS AND THE NIGHT? Gen 1:1-5 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the ...read more
