Jesus Sends Out The Twelve Apostles Series

Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Apr 5, 2014

The account of Jesus sending out the twelve apostles on a short-term missions trip will teach us principles for ministry today.

Scripture Jesus was about thirty years old when he began his public ministry (Luke 3:23), which was primarily a ministry of preaching and healing. Jesus’ ministry lasted approximately three years before his death by crucifixion (which I believe took place on April 6, 30 AD). The first half ...read more

A Man With A Withered Hand

Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Aug 30, 2013

The analysis of Jesus healing a man with a withered hand on a Sabbath will show us that works of mercy are appropriate on the Lord's Day.

Scripture Jesus was frequently criticized during his ministry. The religious leaders of Jesus’ day criticized him because he did not conform to their understanding of God’s law. Things got so bad that they eventually looked for ways to catch Jesus doing something contrary to their ...read more

Remember Your Creator

Contributed by Hans Krause on Nov 11, 2018

Two men think about life as they face the end of their journey on earth. Has life been meaningless or relevant? Do they look forward to a joyless process of degradation, a painful descent towards the valley of death, or to something more glorious beyond the horizon?

Talking Trees

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 5, 2021

There are over 500 reference to trees, and they play a major role in God's revelation. The text we are looking at in Judges 9 is not the most important, but it is the most conspicuous.

One of the questions most often debated among amateur philosophers is whether or not a tree falling in the woods makes any noise is no one is around to hear it? From a biblical perspective there is never a time when the trees are not being heard, for if we take seriously the Lordship of Christ ...read more

The Gospel Sermon Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 11, 2024

Mark's Gospel has been believed to have been written to the Roman people. So, why would Mark begin by declaring that he was going to tell them the "Gospel of Jesus Christ"... what did the Romans need to hear, and what do we need to hear from Mark's Gospel?

In the book of Acts, we’re told the Apostle Paul preached at Troas, and he preached so long that a man went to sleep and fell out of the window. When the Pilgrims settled at Plymouth - their sermons lasted so long that the congregation apparently placed a large hourglass on the pulpit to remind ...read more
