Isaiah’s Little Apocalypse Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 19, 2022

God has a plan for us; but He also has an even more complex plan for history. History is heading to a conclusion and toward a purpose, His glory.

Isaiah’s Little Apocalypse (Isaiah 24:17-23, 25:6-8, 26:19-21, 27:12-13) 1. A chauffeur had driven the chemistry professor to dozens of speaking engagements.

In A World Of Trouble

Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Jan 5, 2025

In this life we will face trials and tribulations, but we take they head on with Jesus as our Lord and Savior. We are overcomers because Jesus overcame the world first.

Good morning, beloved family of God. I stand before you today, not as one who has all the answers, but as a fellow traveler, walking with you on this winding road of faith. We are gathered here, not because we are perfect or because we have it all figured out, but because we need the grace that ...read more

Word Of Exhortation Pt. 1 Series

Contributed by Ricky Tuttle Thd on Oct 4, 2025

I do not have a fancy heading for our text today but I would like to open the Bible and let it narrate the events and travel of Paul and Barnabas.

“Word Of Exhortation Pt. 1” Acts 13:13-26 We saw last time that vs. 9 “Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,” From this time forward Paul will be the primary speaker. That does not change the ministry of Barnabas. If you are an encourager then you ...read more

The Book Of Lamentations – Part 25 – Mercilessly Hunted Down And Silenced In A Pit; Waters Of Judgment Flowed Over The Heads - Chapter 3:52-54 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 22, 2025

What is it to be hunted down and thrown into a pit of silence, and then to be sealed there by a stone? These survivors from the Babylonian holocaust describe their feelings. The waters of judgement surged over their heads. Jesus has identified with His people by passing that way Himself.

THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 25 – MERCILESSLY HUNTED DOWN AND SILENCED IN A PIT; WATERS OF JUDGMENT FLOWED OVER THE HEADS - CHAPTER 3:52-54 The laments of the people and of Jeremiah continue through the next three verses, then move into more positive territory as prayer sets the focus.

Iron, That Floats—even Swims.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Sep 7, 2021

Again ax-heads don't float. Or do they? Maybe it’s time to pray a ridiculous prayer! The Bible say’s, “The iron did swim!” This ranks as one of my favorite miracles in the scripture for a couple reasons. First, this isn't a life or death situation. It's just a borrowed ax head.

Iron, That Floats—Even Swims. 2 Kings 6:1-7NLT Whenever I counsel people who are wrestling with the will of God. I remind them of a simple truth: “God wants you to get where God wants you to go, more than you want to get where God wants you to go.” I’ll read it once more—it should relieve you from ...read more

God’s Suffering Servant Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Dec 23, 2011

If we want complete absolution for our sins and full recovery from our failures, then we must bow before Jesus as our Sovereign Lord, believe in Him who was scorned, bank on His substitutionary sacrifice; then we can benefit from his victory and success.

Happy Are The Poor And Sad Series

If You ... You Might Be

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 29, 2003

Done in "Jeff Foxworthy" style: If your religion is all in the head, if you think your good deeds mask your sin, you may be a lost person.

Jesus said some very tough things. He could be very demanding, very harsh. Jesus could also be funny. He didn’t draw back from using humor if it would make his point. He was tough! He was blunt! He minced no words! And so if your image of Jesus is Warner Sallman’s “Head of Christ”, bland and ...read more

Sabbath Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Dec 13, 2009

A lot of people have had questions about the purpose of the Sabbath. Jesus takes it head on and reveals a lot about how we should live our lives.

Last time we ended with Jesus promising rest and peace for anyone who would come to Him and take His yoke—a yoke where He does the heavy lifting—no more striving to earn God’s favor by being good—only submitting lordship over your life to Him. The Jews got a picture of the rest of God through the ...read more
