A Living Hope For The Hopeless Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 12, 2019

When Jesus rose from the dead, Thomas got a 5 minute show and tell. By contrast, the 2 men on the road to Emmaus received a 3 hour dissertation. Why the difference? Perhaps Jesus spent more time with these hopeless men, to show us how to have a living Hope in a hopeless world.

OPEN: A preacher told of going through his father’s effects after his dad died, and among the things he found was father’s 7th grade report card.

Sermon # 44 - He Dwelt Among Us Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 21, 2023

The tabernacle, the temple, the sacrifices and worship in the Old Testament were all pointers to the coming of the Saviour, who would dwell among men. See how beautifully this plan of God unfolded so mankind could be saved from their sins, and have life eternal.

We read in John 1:14, And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us. And we beheld His glory, glory as of an only begotten from the Father, full of grace and of truth.

The Day They Cancelled Jesus Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 13, 2021

The cancel culture has swept our nation... and destroyed lives, careers and futures. But the actions of those of the cancel culture are as old as history. They cancelled Abel, and the prophets... and they even cancelled Jesus. Or at least they thought they had.

OPEN: There is a phenomenon that is quickly sweeping through our country that’s called the “Cancel Culture.” It’s a mindset that demands that if anyone says or does something that someone else finds offensive, THAT PERSON must be silenced and destroyed. As a result people have lost their jobs, ...read more

The Feast Of Freedom Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 24, 2015

150 years Memorial Day was initiated after the Civil War. But Americans have difficulty remembering when this special day began and why its important to our nation. But 3400 years ago, God initiated His own "Memorial Day". Do you know when & why it began?

The ceremony was held in Charleston, SC to honor 257 dead Union Soldiers who had been buried in a mass grave in a Confederate prison camp. The former slaves dug up the bodies and worked for 2 weeks to give ...read more

Failure Of Judah Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 12, 2018

After the death of Joshua, the nation of Israel was ruled by judges, or heroic military deliverers, for about 300 years until the united monarchy was established under King Saul. The era of the judges was a time of instability and moral depravity . . .

The Bucket List Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 14, 2020

A bucket list is a list of things you want to do before you "kick the bucket." But God warns us that there is one item we MUST have on that "bucket list." What is that "one item", and how do accomplish it?

Did you realize all the things we do with time? We “MAKE” time, and we TAKE time, for things that are important to us. We “SAVE” time with all kinds of gadgets and doodads. We “MARK” time, we “KILL” time, we “RACE AGAINST” time. AND (someone noted) that the worst thing you can do with time, is ...read more
