    The Surety Of God's Love

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Feb 8, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,902 views

    With all of this unrest in our country, some people may wonder where God is in all of this. Others are tempted to question God's goodness. But just because there is human hatred and violence in our presence, this in no way negates God's goodness and love.

    This probably comes as no surprise to you, but since covid-19 rearranged so many of our lives and schedules, we have changed how much time we spend looking at a screen, whether it's a tv, smartphone, laptop, or computer screen. As a country, we're spending a significant amount of time on ...read more

    The Sermon On The Mount (Part Four) Series

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Sep 3, 2019
     | 4,370 views

    Today we finish up the beatitudes. They all work together-being poor in spirit causes me to have godly sorrow. Being meek allows me to be merciful and thus-a peacemaker. If I hunger and thirst for righteousness I will be pure in heart. All of these are important in dealing with persecution.

    THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT (part four) Matt. 5:10-12 Today we finish up the beatitudes. And in looking at them I can see how they all work together-Being poor in spirit causes me to mourn (have godly sorrow). Being meek (kind, gentle and humble) allows me to be merciful. If I hunger and thirst for ...read more

    Avoiding False Teachers

    Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Oct 1, 2024
     | 784 views

    As we continue in our series on Jesus' letters to the seven churches, we find ourselves looking at the words Jesus has to say to the church in Thyatira, how they have some good things, but they tolerate false teachings in the church.

    Good morning, beloved congregation! It's a joy to be here with you, standing on the solid ground of God's truth, ready to open His Word together. We are not here by accident, but by divine appointment. And we are not here to hear the words of a man, but to hear from the God who fashioned ...read more

    28 The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 6:11-13 - Message 28 – Paul Extends Himself To The Limits And Another Expose´ Of Those Who Were False Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 11, 2025
     | 310 views

    What was the large letter formation Paul used? Why did he use that? DO NOT compromise the faith or deny the faith because you are afraid of persecution. In Galatia they were abandoning the faith to avoid trouble. Very special note for younger Christians.

    28 THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 6:11-13 - Message 28 – PAUL EXTENDS HIMSELF TO THE LIMITS AND ANOTHER EXPOSE´ OF THOSE WHO WERE FALSE As we near the end of this heartfelt letter to the Galatian churches, Paul touches on a personal matter that raises much speculation, and he delivers ...read more

    This message is about self-righteousness and how Christians can easily fall into this attitude when we stand in judgment of others.

    At Least I Am Not That! Scripture: Luke 18:9-14; Romans 10:3; Proverbs 26:12 Good morning Strangers Rest. The title of my message this morning is “At Least I Am Not That” and it is a message about being self-righteous.

    Introduction I recently finished reading John Geddie’s biography titled Missionary Life Among the Cannibals: Being the Life of the Rev. John Geddie.

    What can we learn from the twin accounts of the healing of Jairus' daughter and the woman with the issue of blood?

    The Woman with an Issue of Blood Mark 5:21–43 NKJV Now when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a great multitude gathered to Him; and He was by the sea. And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet and begged ...read more

    The Obedience Of Faith

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Sep 5, 2002
    based on 34 ratings
     | 5,026 views

    Can mere belief in God and the truths of His Word win the Lord’s approval and blessings? To the contrary, the Scriptures plainly teach that only a faith that leads to obedience to God wins approval and reward.

    When one reads the Letter to the Romans and then reads the Letter of James, there may appear to be a contradiction. Romans 4:1-6 clearly teaches that we are justified by faith apart from works. However, James 2:24 says that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. Martin Luther saw ...read more

     | 6,488 views

    How to pray. How God answers prayer. How we should not badger God for material needs but use prayer to open our hearts to a true dialogue with God, and why God failed to let me win the lottery despite the fact that I had prayed for it.

    Sermon: 17th in Ordinary Time Text: Luke 11:1-13 In the name of the +Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. When I was a child, my approach to prayer was the same as going to the supermarket with a shopping list; because I would pray [hands together, eyes closed] “God bless Mummy and ...read more
