Big Shoulders (Part 2) Series

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Mar 21, 2024

Today we are in part 2 of our 3-part series “Without the manger there is no Cross” My prayer this week has been that as you go about the rest of your week, that something you heard or experienced today in church, will leave an indelible impression on you. As I like to say “a soul tattoo”.

Today we are in part 2 of our 3-part series “Without the manger there is no Cross” But first: • Did you read something new in God’s word this past week? • Did you see a familiar passage with new eyes? • Did you share it with someone? • Just an FYI: when we share God’s word, that is discipleship ...read more

Triumphant Even To Death

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 25, 2024

What a day of celebration. No one knew at that time what the end of this week would bring. Everyone was excited and looking forward to Jesus being possibly their new king. Only Jesus knew what Friday would bring.

We've been discussing Jesus's mission and His ministry for the past few weeks. Through that ministry, Jesus expressed His love for everyone. His mission and His ministry would lead us to today, Palm Sunday, the first day of the last week of Jesus's life here on Earth in human form. We ...read more

Insight Into The Middle East Fiasco

Contributed by Jack Martin on Mar 31, 2024

Understanding the conflict in the Middle East that has lasted for centuries

A few years back I saw the headline in the news, “Doctors without Borders nurse, killed after launching terror attack.” It seems such a strange headline that someone committed to an organization meant to bring comfort would resort to being a terrorist. But truth be told, that is a daily ...read more

The Blindness In Misinterpreting God’s Way-5

Contributed by Byron Sherman on Aug 26, 2025

5 of 6. YHWH God answered the frustrations experienced by His prophet Habakkuk, when he misinterpreted God’s way. Spiritual blindness results from misinterpreting God’s way. But, ?What characterizes that blindness? Misinterpreting God’s way, blinds you to...

Background to passage, Matthew 21:23-27: Last week of Jesus’s life. Follows Sunday’s prophetical and demonstrative entrance into Jerusalem, Monday/Tuesday’s indictment of the temple practices, the living parable of the cursing of the fig tree, and now he is teaching in the temple on Tuesday ...read more

The Book Of Lamentations – Part 23 – Clouded Prayer – Refuse And Rejects – John Newton – Israel’s Enduring Enemy - Chapter 3:44-46 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 8, 2025

Prayer that does not get past the ceiling; Israel will be restored; the remarkable story of John Newton (Amazing Grace); the off-scouring and refuse of the world; enemies’ mouths are against God’s people – Moab and Islam and their hatred – all these are considered here in this study.

THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 23 – CLOUDED PRAYER – REFUSE AND REJECTS – JOHN NEWTON – ISRAEL’S ENDURING ENEMY - CHAPTER 3:44-46 In the last four verses we were thinking about the personal aspect of the people in realising what God had done to the nation and why that had to happen.

Dreams, Drama And Providence Series

Contributed by Brian Williams on Oct 14, 2025

As we continue to look at the life of Joseph we will see the incredible intricacies of God’s providential plan despite all the injustices, the anger and abuse he suffered, the word says that the Lord was with him.

In recent years, months, and weeks, we have witnessed the escalation of hatred, bitterness, and violence around the world. This escalating anger and unrest points to deeper struggles going on in people’s hearts. The question is where is God? What is he doing, what good could possibly come out of ...read more

The Faith That Saves Us Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 14, 2025

Salvation rests not on our fragile belief but on the unbreakable faithfulness of Jesus, whose obedience secures our eternal assurance.

Introduction — When Faith Feels Fragile There are moments in life when faith feels small—thin as the line of light that leaks under a closed door. Maybe you’ve stood there, wondering if God still remembers your name. You’ve tried to believe, but the doubts keep whispering: Is my faith enough? Am ...read more

The Seven Churches-Sardis Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jan 4, 2026

The Lord didn't have much good to say about Sardis. Yet "even in Sardis", there were some genuine believers who wanted to live for our Lord, and did so!

The Seven Churches-Sardis Introduction: The year 1747, a park bench in Warsaw, Poland in the mid-1950’s, and a church in what’s now western Turkey. On the surface, there doesn’t seem to be a common thread, but the truth is that all of these refer to the church in Sardis. This church is the fifth ...read more

The Book Of Lamentations – Part 13 – Jeremiah And The Nation Are In Affliction; The Nation Is Expelled; Bodies Suffer; Bitterness - Chapter 3:1-5 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 24, 2025

Sin brought bitterness and hardship, so bad that horrible things were done among the people. These verses dwell on that today. God is blamed for it all through His allowing Babylon to come. They walk in darkness, but they suffer their own fate.

THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 13 – JEREMIAH AND THE NATION ARE IN AFFLICTION; THE NATION IS EXPELLED; BODIES SUFFER; BITTERNESS - CHAPTER 3:1-5 LAMENTATIONS CHAPTER 3 Now we enter into a lot of shorter verses but each one has a definite, strong meaning.

Memorial Day Sermon

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on May 24, 2025

So often we see the little value that people put on the human life in our society.

Illus: For example, it was broadcast on national radio that a young man was walking down the street during the wintertime wearing a brand name leather jacket. Another young man saw him wearing the jacket and he came up behind him and hit him in the head with an iron pipe and killed him and took ...read more

When God Doesn't Make Sense

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Nov 19, 2022

Most of us don't want to admit it, but more often than not God's instructions don't make sense. That's because God is not a sense God, he is a faith God. The question is... What do you do when God doesn't make sense?

Joshua 6:1-5 TLB - The gates of Jericho were kept tightly shut because the people were afraid of the Israelis; no one was allowed to go in or out. ² But the Lord said to Joshua, “Jericho and its king and all its mighty warriors are already defeated, for I have given them to you! ³?4 Your ...read more

The Gift Of Persecution Series

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022

Persecution is the flip side of peace-making. If we live out the first 7 beatitudes, this one, the 8th, follows on their heels as surely as water flows downhill.

About 35 years ago, a Romanian pastor came to visit the church I belonged to, a nice white church in a rich western suburb of Minneapolis. He had gotten to know my pastor, who had been involved in a Bible-smuggling ministry when the Iron Curtain was still up. Pasor John asked him what he thought ...read more
