"Jesus, The Exclusive Savior”

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Feb 24, 2021

The consensus- that some things were right others wrong is now replaced by a new "trinity": worship tolerance, celebrate diversity, praise pluralism, equity not equality. Woe to the man who dares speak against the New Trinity. A story: confession, a fable. John Stott, quote.

In Jesus Holy Name Lent II February 28, 2021 Text: Mark 8:27,29 Redeemer “Jesus, The Exclusive Savior” We live in a “postmodern” age. If that term is new to you, it simply means that we live in an age in which ...read more

The Only Priest Who Matters Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 7, 2021

Many so-called Christian churches claim that believers can only maintain a right relationship with God and the hope of heaven through the priests, or mediators, that they have authorized for these purposes. Does God's word support such a teaching. Find out from Hebrews 7:1-19.

About a decade ago, I found a biological dentist who practiced in Southern California who was uniquely able to help me with some dental work that I needed done in relationship to the fatigue and the cancer I had acquired. I made a point of going down to Southern California, having made an ...read more

Facing Our Fears With Faith

Contributed by Eldridge Cullum on Mar 17, 2020

We face all kinds of fears today: a fear of cancer, a fear of losing our spouse and becoming a widow, a fear of financial insecurity, a fear of having to live in a Nursing Home, etc. Right now we are all faced with a storm that scares us to death – the storm is called Coronavirus.

Facing Our Fears with Faith John 6:16-21 “When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. The sea became rough because a strong wind was blowing. When they had rowed about three or ...read more

Hate Crimes

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Feb 10, 2020

Jesus believed in hate crimes, because God knows the heart. Jesus urges us to resolve our murderous thoughts, make it right when we can, and settle out of court, all so that a watching world will take note of how Christian brothers and sisters get along.

Matthew 5:21-26 Hate Crimes The FBI defines a hate crime as a “criminal offense against a person or property, motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity.” A hate crime is not the same as hate ...read more

Judgment Day Reveals The Righteousness Of God Series

Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Dec 30, 2019

If the guilty go free we call it a travesty, an injustice, unfair. Yet, the Bible says that on Judgment Day the guilty will go free? How can God do that? Is that fair or right? It’s because of God’s righteousness that guilty sinners go free on Judgment Day.

It just didn’t seem right or fair. The evidence of guilt was overwhelming. The witnesses had poured in one after another recounting firsthand of destructive and damaging conversations and actions. Fingerprints were found everywhere that clearly connected the person standing before the judge to ...read more

What Does "morality" Even Mean?

Contributed by Ian Hyde on Nov 24, 2019

How do we define morality in an increasingly relativistic, materialistic world? When we realize our inherent blind spots, we find that morality must be rooted in something outside of ourselves, and only the example of the incarnate Christ is firm foundation enough for discerning right from wrong.

A CLASH OF WORLDVIEWS In our passage this morning, Paul is speaking to the faithful in the church at the Greek colony of Colossae, now in modern day Turkey. Many of these believers came from a pagan background. They didn’t grow up with the benefit of stories about God’s providence or saving work ...read more

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Dec 15, 2016

Stop The Killing Spree!

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Feb 12, 2017

Killing sprees shock us with their cruelty to human life. Yet, how often do we engage in our own killing sprees, mentally murdering those with whom we are angry. Jesus calls us to stop it, and to bend over backwards to make things right with others.

Matthew 5:21-26 Stop the Killing Spree! William Boyette, suspected of killing four women in two states, died Tuesday from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after a police standoff at a Georgia motel. Police arrested Mary Rice, his accomplice. As appalling as their little Bonnie and Clyde killing ...read more

A Clear Conscience

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 15, 2022

Webster’s Dictionary defines the conscience as “an inner feeling or voice viewed as acting as a guide to the rightness or wrongness of one’s behavior.” The conscience is something God has given every person--an alarm that sounds inside you, which often leads to feelings of guilt or shame.

Three Kinds of Conscience: 1. A Clear Conscience — the alarm is working properly Acts 23:1, “And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.” Acts 24:16, “And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a ...read more

God's Grace And Peace

Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Jul 13, 2022

God's grace and peace are twin blessings from God. While divine grace saves and enables us to achieve God's purpose in our lives, the peace of God creates the right atmosphere or serenity within and without for grace to have its perfect way.

TEXT: Ephesians 1:2 "Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ." GRACE AND PEACE, TWIN BLESSINGS FROM GOD. Paul in almost all his epistles to the body of Christ always begins his writings with the salutatuon: "Grace be unto you, and peace, ...read more

Seize The Day / Strike While The Iron Is Hot

Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Oct 25, 2021

There is an adage: "Strike while the iron is hot". When the time is right, you should act. You should seize the moment or you will lose your opportunity. We are called to be a witness and to bring others to Jesus. We need to strike when God gives us an opportunity.

There is an adage ... that you may still hear at times even today: .... "Strike ... while the iron is hot". The saying is basically telling us .... that when the time is right... you should act... you should seize the moment ... or you will miss out ... on your opportunity. The adage ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Oct 2, 2021

We are faced with two options. The first is to see how bad things really are and to focus on them. And we have every right to focus on them because things are indeed bad. Or the second option is to decide even though things are bad, I chose to rejoice and trust in my Lord.
