    The stress points in life are an invitation to climb into the arms of a loving God. There is no power on earth that can compete with resurrection power.

    God Believes in Resurrection Psalm 46 April 3, 2005 When our kids were young, one of their favorite books was titled, “Alexander and the Terrrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.” It seems as though Alexander had one of those days when nothing went right. It all started as soon as he woke up ...read more

    American Idols Series

     | 5,204 views

    God hates idolatry. It competes for His attention and He is a jealous God. We belong to Him. Are we living like it?

    Exodus 20:4-6 American Idols As I prepared this series, I realized how little we actually preach or teach on the Ten Commandments as if they are neither important nor relevant. They are both. It was very enlightening to me to preach through them. I learned a lot! I trust this series will ...read more

    Yes, There Is Shacking Up In The Corinthian Church

    Contributed by Tessie R. Simmons on Sep 16, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,427 views

    The Corinthian Church claims spirituality when there is shacking up in the church; the 2011 church makes the same claim.

    It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not found even among pagans; for a man is living with his father's wife. And you are arrogant! Should you not rather have mourned, so that he who has done this would have been removed from among you? For ...read more

    The power and posture of Christ when confronted by our weaknesses.

    Introduction: Today our lesson opens with a father caught in the grips of an understandable fear, loss in his worry over the illness of his child.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,469 views

    Jesus calls Himself the good shepherd and the word ‘good’ describes someone who is more than just competent but it refers to the character of the person.

    Jesus, the good shepherd John 10: 7-21 There was a church where a man fell asleep every Sunday morning just as the Pastor began preaching his message. And every week the Pastor noticed him and it really started to bother him more and more as the time went on. He ...read more

    Part of a sermon series on Galatians

    Introduction The story so far: There has been a big argument brewing in the churches of Galatia about what the content of the Gospel is and whether or not Paul is teaching the right version.

    Fifteen Days With Peter

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Feb 22, 2016
     | 2,668 views

    Peter and Paul would have discussed, talked, pondered and reminisced about Jesus! Paul must have gobbled up every bit of delicious news about Jesus! 15 days they discussed nothing but JESUS!

    15 days with Peter! Galatians 1:18 “Then after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to get acquainted with Cephas and stayed with him fifteen days.” As I read the above scripture, I remember the days back while I worked, when I would sit with my friend on the staircase with tea cup in ...read more

    Justification By Faith Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on May 25, 2014
     | 4,128 views

    The earliest controversy in the church was over a critical matter: What does it mean in practical terms to be a member of God’s family? Also, coming to Christ is an act of self-denial. We are “under new management.”

    Introduction: One thing we can all agree on: People rarely agree! Even in the early church there was conflict; and while we’d prefer unity among believers, disputes happen. In an awkward moment Peter and Paul were at odds. Paul confronted the head of the church to his face…because ...read more

    This message examines the implications of Jesus’ confrontation with the Pharisees over the Sabbath.

    casual reader of the Bible can find evidence to prove just about any point they want to make within the pages of Scripture. It is in these types of readings that many of the idols or golden calves that are found in the modern church are born. Wait a minute…there are not any idols in the modern ...read more

    A look at the unique claims of Christ

    Pax Romana, Roman peace, held the empire together for centuries. Among it’s dictates was one concerning religion. It seems that if Rome took over a nation or people with their own religion they never made them switch to the Roman gods. Their thinking was sound…why give them a reason to rebel. ...read more
