A Virgin Will Conceive

Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 8, 2010

Like Ahaz before us, we don’t want a sign from God--at least a sign that leaves God running the show. What Ahaz did on the outside, we do on the inside. We like things just the way they are, if it leaves us in charge.

Intro Isaiah’s prophecy of the Virgin giving birth was a sign against King Ahaz. It’s also a sign against us, all fallen humanity. Ahaz was a young Israelite man gone bad. He was of David’s line, but not of David’s faith. And he had become king of the Southern kingdom of Israel, Judah. Ahaz ...read more

Have You Not Read? Palm Sunday, 2025

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Apr 17, 2025

The religious in Jerusalem missed 2 critical applications that we must not: The old testament prophecy of Zechariah was fulfilled in what Jesus did (because of who He is), and, these were the same leaders charged with teaching God’s word and they don’t know it!

Have You Not Read? (Palm Sunday 2025) Matthew 21:1-17 Introduction - Welcome to Seasons! We are so glad you have chosen to be here today! - If you’ve been to church for any time, prob heard about Jesus’ triumphant entry -- The significance of this moment written in history and ...read more

Marvels Of Mercy

Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on Apr 28, 2024

Mercy is marvelous. God showed His great mercy to us as He sent Jesus to come and die for our sins. How can we then show mercy to those around us? This is our charge as believers. To uncover the marvels of mercy for those who do not yet believe.

In Matthew 9:9-13, Jesus has just called Matthew to follow him. He is then seen reclining at a table with many tax collectors and sinners along with his disciples (Matthew 9:10). In verse 11, the Pharisees question Jesus to his disciples, asking “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and ...read more

The Robe Of Grace (October 23, 2022)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 18, 2022

This vision is about Zechariah’s nation as God’s chosen people. It also appears to operate like an allegory in the sense that like the nation of Israel, Zechariah represents Israel as a high priest with filthy rag righteousness,. We too, as individuals in every age stand guilty as charged.

THE ROBE OF GRACE Text: Zechariah 3:1-10 Zechariah 3:1-10 Then he showed me the high priest Joshua standing before the angel of ...read more

A Bloody Difference Series

Contributed by Daniel Habben on Apr 2, 2023

One aspect of sermon writing I enjoy is researching topics I normally wouldn’t research—like learning how much bunker and bomb shelters cost. An 8x12 “mini” bunker costs $45,000—not including delivery or installation charges...

Man's Extremities Are God's Opportunities To Show His Glory!

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Aug 3, 2021

Amid the many crisis of today, that are causing so much loss and pain, it is wonderful to know that God is still at work. Although, we cannot choose how the works of God, the method God will use to supply the help we need. The good news is that God is still in charge and will help.

Man’s extremities are God’s opportunities to show His Glory in this present world. Our study in John brings us to chapter 9, here we learn some lesson from a blind man. Jesus follows his familiar pattern of worshipping in the temple. Our Lord took great delight in visiting His father’s House. The ...read more

I Will Be With You Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Sep 18, 2025

Can you imagine? You have been a front row witness to the past 40 years. You have been by Moses’ side throughout the wilderness wanderings and you have watched as the people rebelled and complained and grumbled along the way and NOW ---- YOU’RE OLD and IN CHARGE!!!

September 20, 2025 The Israelites grieved for Moses 30 days…. During the wilderness travels, Joshua served as a Wise General (Ex. 17), a Faithful Scout (Num. 13), and as Moses’ Prime Minister (Ex. 33:11), but now that Moses was dead, the responsibility of leading the People into the Land of ...read more

Can You Be Threatened?

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Feb 4, 2018

Many in the Body of Christ are living in compromise. They are allowing the world to dictate what they will and will not believe about the Bible. How does this happen? Peter and John's confrontation with the religious leaders in Acts 4 shows us how.

I was thinking about Bro. Alain’s message this morning and what saddens me so much is how much of the Body of Christ is living in compromise and we don’t even realize it. And I thought about a Republican senator here in Ohio who came out strong and hard against homosexuality. He came out strong and ...read more

Imagine: A terrible tragedy coming upon the Earth, and there’s still hope. There is still salvation - and celebration and rejoicing in Heaven for being saved! If we are truly to show others the way, we must be devoted to Him now!

Women In The Pulpit - Part 1 Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Oct 4, 2018

Does the Bible prohibit women from being pastors and teachers in the church? Does the Bible say that women can only teach other women and children? Let's try to figure it out.

If you would, please stand as we say together our memory Scripture for this quarter: Matthew 6:31-33 “Do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. “But ...read more

A Time For Testimony Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Nov 23, 2010

When we realize that we need nothing anymore, that God has provided everything we really need, we can show our thanksgiving to God by living for Him and helping other people find the giver of life. Like the 24 elders who get off their throne and fall down

Today we again have a little interlude from all the horror of the judgments. Thankfully God gives us these little breathers throughout Revelation because it is so intense. This is Thanksgiving weekend, and of course we should be the most thankful people of all knowing that we have a saviour that ...read more

Miracles For Moses Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 31, 2021

God gave Moses 3 miracles to convince the Israelites God had sent him. But these miracles seem (to me) to be fairly unimpressive - a little like "parlor tricks." Why would God ask Moses to use them to convince the Elders of Israel that God had sent him?

(Sing) “I believe for every drop of rain that falls, a flower grows. I believe that somewhere in the darkest night, a candle glows. I believe for everyone who goes astray, someone will come to show the way. I believe, I believe. I believe above the storm the smallest pray'r will still be heard. ...read more

The Dignity Of The King Vs. The Depravity Of Humanity

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 21, 2022

John 18:12-36 continues the story of Jesus' journey towards the cross as He faced His enemies and an illegal trial based on false charges. What they didn't know was that Jesus was in control and that this was part of the redemptive plan (1 Corinthians 2:7-8).

The Lord Jesus had been arrested while in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:47-56; Mark 14:43-52; Luke 22:47-53; John 18:1-11). He was being hauled off to an illegal trial on false charges. This is the beginning of an obvious plot using any means possible by the Pharisees and the other ...read more
