    Clear Conscience Text: Acts 24:10-21 Introduction 1. “A sleeping pill will never take the place of a clear conscience.” (Unknown). 2.

    It was a time of pilgrimage and Jesus would be traveling along with many others. In our text he gathers his disciples aside and shares with them one last time what they are to expect in the future.

    The Plan   Luke 18:31-34 Introduction Our journey through the Gospel of Luke is rapidly coming to a conclusion. We have observed the earthly life of Jesus from the beginning.

    No Resurrection. No Hope.

    Without the resurrection there is no hope. With the resurrection there is always hope.

    NORTH PINE BEACH BAPTIST CHURCH Sunday 20th April 2025 – Easter Sunday John 20:1-18 No Resurrection. No Hope. How important is the resurrection of Jesus? 1 Corinthians 15:12-14 gives the answer. 12 But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that ...read more

    Open Tomb, Closed Case Series

    Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Apr 26, 2025
     | 550 views

    In our cynical world today, it's hard to trust anyone. All the institutions have been shown to be engaged in fraud, lying, and deception. But we can trust the Word of God and the God who gave us that Word.

    Open Tomb, Closed Case Text: John 20:1-29 So we just celebrated the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And like I said last Sunday, it’s the most amazing event in all of human history. So even though we’re going to be back in John’s Gospel this morning, we’re right at the point ...read more

    But God...We live in a wounded and fallen world. A world that is no longer perfect, a world that is filled with sin, with temptation, with sickness, with sorrow, with tragedy, with pain, with loneliness, But God!

    Spirit Help Romans 8:22-23, 26-28 In, Romans 8, Paul says very clearly that you and I live in a fallen and broken world. He says,"We know that the whole creation has been groaning in travail together until now." We live in a wounded and ...read more

    (6) Eyes Wide Open Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 28, 2025
     | 270 views

    John's 6th sign. Jesus calls us to cast off bitterness and blame, receive His mercy, and follow Him with eyes wide open to new life.

    Part One Jesus was on His way out of Jericho. Passover crowds filled the road. The noise of merchants and pilgrims echoed off the stone walls. And on that roadside sat a blind man named Bartimaeus—son of Timaeus. That name is striking. Timaeus means honorable. But nothing about this scene ...read more

    25 Stories Down

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 6, 2025
     | 128 views

    Even twenty-five stories down, the faith of hidden believers still shone—reminding us that God’s light endures, even in the depths.

    It was the summer of 1994 when my wife and our children and I traveled through central Türkiye. The road carried us across the dry plateau until we reached Cappadocia—a landscape so strange and beautiful it looked as though it had been shaped by another hand. Wind and rain had carved towers ...read more

    The Book Of Lamentations – Part 43 – Princes Were Abused And Young Men Forced Into Harsh Servitude By Ruthless Babylon - Lamentations 5:12-13 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 10, 2025
     | 202 views

    The description of horrible conditions continues, this time with degrading action against the princes, and terrible forced labour upon the young men. A conquering army often forces humiliation on the defeated people and treats them terribly. Symptomatic of a sinful world.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 43 – PRINCES WERE ABUSED AND YOUNG MEN FORCED INTO HARSH SERVITUDE BY RUTHLESS BABYLON - Lamentations 5:12-13 The subject matter of Lamentations is not pleasant in most of its content, which is probably why it is rarely preached on, or taught. Here in chapter 5 we ...read more

    Last week, we talked about loving God with all of our hearts. But what does it mean to love God with all your Soul?

    Love God With All Your Soul Introduction Jesus was asked a question about the most important command. In Mark’s Gospel he said, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, O Israel!

     | 1,491 views

    When faced with brokenness stemming from sin or navigating trials and tribulations, how does God respond? Could it be that, in our brokenness, through confession and perseverance, our faith not only deepens but also radiates a bright light to those in our midst?

    Being Broken Genesis 1, 16-21 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 Is it a challenge for you to let go of your possessions, even when they've aged, broken, and lost their value? When we explore our garages, basements, and hidden corners filled with our ...read more
