    Sing In Exultation Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Dec 26, 2021
     | 2,275 views

    In this sermon, I am linking Psalm 95 with John F. Wade’s hymn, “O Come, All Ye Faithful" as we are called to come into the very Presence of our Lord and King and Savior triumphantly, singing His praises and making a joyful noise.

    This morning, my brothers and sisters, you have been personally invited into the very presence of God. “O come, all ye faithful (stanza 1) … “come into His presence” (Psalm 95:2). What a singular, unspeakable honor, amen? We have been invited to come into the presence of the “King above all ...read more

    Pivotal events can happen unexpectedly in our lives. If we are able to accept that fact and (at the same time) trust God with the changes that accompany those events, we will manage life better. This message explores unexpected events in Moses's life.

    Today I want to talk about two unexpected events in Moses’s life. One was a glorious encounter with God that set him on the course for the last 40 years of his life. The other was a painful experience that equipped him to fulfill the mission given to him in the first encounter. In both cases the ...read more

    The Lord Shows His Excellence In All The Earth

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Sep 12, 2021
     | 2,027 views

    God’s excellence shines so clearly in all his works. The Lord could have crushed those who bore his image when we sinned, yet God was mindful of us. The glorious God who first stooped down to create us, then stooped down to save us through his only Son.

    As we lead busy lives each week, we need to slow down. In the middle of the activity of work and school and home life and church life, we need to pause and ponder. For how often do we really think about who God is, who we are, and what to do with the few days on earth that God has given? It’s easy ...read more

    This passage is heavy in election, predestination, and foreknowledge. How does someone who is not a Calvinist interpret it?

    Opening Statement of the Inherent Limitations - In beginning to interpret this chapter, it’s important to start with the obvious truth: the questions that this passage raises are vexing issues. Election, predestination, and foreknowledge are the perplexing problems that haunt Romans 9. - A quick ...read more

    the witness of John the Baptist is a dynamic example for every servant of God. 1. John was questioned by religionists who were suspicious of Him: they asked, “Who are you?” (v.19). 2. He was a man who knew who he was (vv.20–22). 3. He was only a voice—only a forerunner for the Lord (v.23–24).

    Learning To Trust In A Skeptical World

    Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Oct 12, 2021
     | 3,743 views

    I believe one of the greatest issues facing our world today, to include the church, is the fact that trust has all but disappeared in relationships. I believe the book of Micah shows us the tragedy of a society where trust is absent; however, the book also shows us how to regain that which is lost.

    In recent weeks I have been pondering a very important question: "What is the common denominator for understanding healthy relationships? We could postulate many words (e.g., friendship, tolerance, respect, appreciation, etc.). I then contemplated, what happens if trust is absent in a ...read more

    Some people have turned ministry into a cash cow. Some people have just fleeced the sheep. Some people have completely overcompensated themselves, and they have found a great way to work the system.

    I’m excited about finishing 1 Corinthians with you. God willing, we’ll discuss divorce, singleness, the resurrection, idolatry, spiritual gifts, tongues, love, and money in the weeks to come as we move line by line, sentence by sentence through this New Testament letter.

    Jesus’ identity is shown as we research Jesus’ family tree. And Jesus’ identity is shown as we see Him fend off Satan’s attacks - the very attacks that were driven to distort Jesus’ special identity.

    We continue a series entitled, The Man Who Won’t Go Away, this morning. Normally when someone dies, their impact on the world immediately begins to recede.

    Everything Falls Apart Series

     | 2,925 views

    The story of what happened in the Garden of Eden is important – powerfully important. And I want to make you aware at the outset, that this is not just the story of the wrongdoings of two people. No, it’s the story of how the first two people’s wrongdoing affects you and me.

    We’re doing a series on God’s Big Story where we are tracing the central storyline of the Bible. The Bible isn’t a mass of unconnected stories. Instead, it is one story. And that is exactly the aim of this series – to see the big picture of the Bible. I want you to see the Bible is a single story. ...read more
