Worthless Clouds Without Water Carried By The Changing Winds –jude 1 Verse 12 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 16, 2022

Jude continues his description of the false teachers using metaphors to describe them. This follow on from hidden reefs and we now have empty clouds without water, useless in promise and leaving bitter failure. Many people are left hurt, and without hope, and fleeced and betrayed.

WORTHLESS CLOUDS WITHOUT WATER CARRIED BY THE CHANGING WINDS –Jude 1 verse 12 In our last message we were looking at these false teachers Jude was battling when he urged his readers to contend for the faith. They had to be positive, and a lazy and don’t care less approach would achieve nothing. ...read more

Esau's Egregious Errors

Contributed by David Nolte on Aug 29, 2022

When we want instant gratification, we commit the same kind of errors as did Esau.

Jacob was more the domestic Homeboy who enjoyed the quieter things while Esau was the hunter out in the woods bringing game for the table. 2. Jacob was smooth of skin, Esau had a hairy body. 3. Jacob was suave, Esau ...read more

Even Me - An Unusual Mother's Day Sermon

The question then becomes what if I don’t quite measure up to the Proverbs 31 woman? Is there any hope for me? Can God use me? Let’s not just talk about the women because we all have times and circumstances in our lives when we ask these same questions? Is there any hope for me? .

An Act Of Obedience Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 20, 2021

Baptism is an act of obedience to Jesus who said to go into all the world and baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It was an act of obedience on Philip's part to baptize the Ethiopian and act of obedience on his part to be baptized.

Some of the best things in life can be so bad. It is somewhat shocking, but Lewis B. Smedes in his book Caring and Commitment points out that even commitment can be a bad thing. The purpose of the book is to get Christians more committed, but he points out the negative side of this very ...read more

They could only reach the conclusion that Osama Bin Laden and ...read more
