No One Likes An Unknowing God Series

Contributed by Troy Luttrell on Aug 25, 2014

We are told that God knows everything, but what does it mean when Jesus states He does not know when He will return? A closer look reveals this verse to be a source of great encouragement and blessing, not controversy.

Christ The King

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 11, 2018

Today on Christ the King we recall that the essential character of kingship means personal allegiance to one person. To say Christ is King implies that we are subjects.

33B There’s a famous remark from a Modernist priest named Alfred Loisy: “Jesus came proclaiming the Kingdom, and what arrived was the Church.” Maybe his remark was a little like those T-shirts that say something like, “My parents went to the Grand Canyon and all I got was this lousy ...read more

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Jun 28, 2017

The Ongoing Mockery Of Christ

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 28, 2017

What You Say Is What You Get

Contributed by Deb Ling on Mar 1, 2016

The Word tells us to speak to the mountain and it will move. Our words are powerful and we will get what we say. Therefore, you want to speak life not death.

You and I have that same Holy Spirit with the same authority as they did at that time. If you can wrap ...read more

The Lord Is Good

Contributed by Mark Armstrong on Jan 6, 2019

A short sermon for a funeral service. I wrote this talk for the funeral of a Christian person.
