    The End In Mind Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Mar 23, 2015
     | 5,269 views

    The work God does in you and me has three phases: a beginning, a middle, and an end. God began His “good work” in us, He “will carry it on,” and, in time, He will bring it to completion.

    Recently, our daughter Catherine completed a refinishing project. Se took an old chest, worn and marred by the years and transformed it into an elegant piece of furniture, which she is pleased to display in her home.

    This sermon discuses how we put on the righteousness of Christ, changing our standing and appearance before God, through the sacrafice made by Christ on the cross.

    I Will Clothe You John 19:23 - 24, 1 Pet 5:5, Psa 109:18, John 5:19, 30, 1 Pet 2:24, Gal 3:13, 26-27, March 3, 2003 I. I am going to steal a story from Max Lucado and it is one that I have never experienced. But it is important to understanding what I am going to be talking about ...read more

    God Why Don't You Do Something

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Sep 2, 2007

     | 3,491 views

    As we stand at the foot of the cross it is easy to demand of God how could you allow this happen, why don’t you do something?

    How many times have we asked ourselves the same question that Jesus asked as he hung dying on the cross? “God why don’t you do something?” Surely if we had of been standing by watching as this man of peaces, as the Son of God was humiliated in a sham of a trial, as he was scourged and beaten in ...read more

    Selfless Obedience (Mother's Day) Series

    Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on Jun 11, 2013
     | 14,709 views

    Selflessness is the key characteristic in Jesus' command to take up our crosses and follow him. The stories of Jochebed, Hannah, and Mary (Jesus' mother) illustrate selflessness.

    One of the critical characteristics of a follower of Jesus is almost completely non-existent in our society. Now I say “almost”, because there are still times when we see and celebrate it, but those times are largely times of extremes. The prevailing “wisdom” is completely ...read more

    This short talk uses a story I wrote for a school assembly (ages 8 to 16) to help people think about this prayer of Jesus from the cross

    Many years ago, long before any of us were born, and long before our great grandparents were born, a young man walked into town. His clothes were old and well worn. His shoes had holes, and he carried all of his possessions in a small, dirty bag. When he first arrived in town he slept under an ...read more

    Assembling A Team - Mark 1:16-20 Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 22, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 13,006 views

    As Jesus began His ministry, one of the first priorities was to assemble a team of men to serve alongside Him, men He could teach and equip to carry on the work of the church. The Lord is still seeking those who will follow Him in service.

    Assembling a Team Mark 1: 16-20 Following His baptism, wilderness temptation, and public introduction in Galilee, Jesus continued His work here on earth. One of the first priorities was to assemble a team of men to walk with Him, whom He could teach and prepare for ministry. In our text Jesus ...read more

     | 8,373 views

    God wants us to recognize the grace He has bestowed on us, appreciate the gift He has blessed us with, and set out to diligently and faithfully carry out the work He has entrusted into our hands.

    In Matthew 25: 14-30, Jesus told a parable of a man who gave talents to three of his servants. The first received 5 talents, the second servant 2 talents and the third was given 1 talent. The talents were not shared arbitrarily; haphazardly, blindly, aimlessly, by chance, by coincidence or ...read more

    Is God caring? Is God fair? Not at all! God has a huge heart of love towards us shown by His forgiveness and redemption through the cross.

    BELIEVING and not BELIEVING The Heart of God May 21, 2017 Sometimes it’s difficult to picture where God is in the midst of world events.

     | 3,421 views

    A look at the cruel soldiers, the compelled substitute and the crucified Son as they go to Golgotha.

    (Jere. 17:9) "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked." It is from this viewpoint of the wickedness of man that Matthew approaches this part of the Gospel. He could have written about the love of God which sent His only Son to save us from our sin. But here Matthew gives us ...read more

    Jesus Predicts His Death Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
     | 2,799 views

    Think of it: Jesus marshaled no army and He carried no weapon. Jesus never used His miraculous powers to throw the Pharisees off the nearest cliff. Yet, the threat of Jesus was so great, He often made enemies into allies:

    A New York Times editorial claims that America’s views on the death penalty are changing. 35 people were put to death in 2014 which was the fewest in 20 years. And 2014 marked a nearly 40 year low in the number of new criminals placed on death row. While the method of execution may have changed, ...read more
