    The Beginning Of Wisdom Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Oct 2, 2022
     | 3,585 views

    This is the opening sermon for a series based on The Book of Proverbs. I thought it would be a good idea to start a series based on the preeminent book of wisdom literature by discussing and defining what the book means by "wisdom" starting with the first chapter of The Book of Proverbs.

    [Hold up Bible.] I love this book. You’ve heard me refer to it as “The Owner’s Manual.” It contains stories, history, poetry, adventure, drama. It contains hymns. It contains theology, philosophy, and it contains wisdom. Every book in the Bible is there for a reason. Believe it or not, not ...read more

    Jesus calls Matthew to follow Him and then eats with sinners

    Ministry Methods Questioned (part 1) Mark 2:13-18 Good Morning, Dr. Kent Keith said in the paradoxical commandments, “People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, ...read more

    Hear the Call Mark 3:13-19 Good Morning, Steven Cole asked, “Have you ever marveled at how the Lord launched the worldwide movement called “the church”? I would have asked, “What were You thinking when You came up with these men to launch this movement?” They should be graduates of the most ...read more

    How should the death & resurrection of Jesus change us? The purpose of the death of Christ is to empower us live a life for Him

    2 CORINTHIANS 5:14-15 TRANSFORMED BY CHRIST [Romans 14:7-9] When Jesus was crucified on the Cross and raised again on the third day, He won the victory over sin and death. That victory has a life changing purpose for those who have truly placed their faith in Christ. How should the death ...read more

    When We Make A Mess Of Our Lives…

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 17, 2022
     | 2,434 views

    An extraordinary thing has happened in this passage of Scripture concerning Jacob.

    Sometimes when we get together with others and they tell us of some unusual thing that has happened to them, we feel almost compelled to share some unusual thing that has happened to us. Illus: For example, little Johnny was talking to a couple of boys in the school yard. Each was bragging about ...read more

    The Final Message In Jude – The Glorious But Challenging Doxology – Jude 1:24-25 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 24, 2022
     | 3,754 views

    The closing doxology of Jude's letter is not only glorious, but when analysed, it is specifically challenging to our Christian lives. How do we stand? What about stumbling? How are we blameless? To Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority for ever and ever!

    THE FINAL MESSAGE IN JUDE – THE GLORIOUS BUT CHALLENGING DOXOLOGY – Jude 1:24-25 INTRODUCTION: We have proceeded through Jude slowly, bit by bit, to understand it. Jude began his letter wanting to write to encourage the believers in their common salvation, but then the urgency of contending for ...read more

    The Great Tribulation Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 1, 2022
     | 4,090 views

    This will be a day like there has never been before. This time of intense trouble will go on longer than we want and it will be more intense than we want. Jesus seems to tell us that this time of mega affliction or Great Tribulation will be just before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

    When the book of Daniel opened, we met a young man, no more than a middle-school-aged student. Now, as Daniel closes, we see a man who is advanced in years and probably around his mid-80s. Daniel has dared to stand alone for God in a hostile environment. He has clearly shown us that a powerful ...read more

    Preventing A Spiritual Tragedy Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Nov 30, 2024
     | 581 views

    Ever wished you could have prevented a great tragedy? Just as there are great physical tragedies with lasting consequence, so there are great spiritual tragedies with eternal consequence. The Apostle Paul seeks to prevent a great spiritual tragedy in the fledgling church at Corinth, Greece.

    How many of you here have been associated with a preventable tragedy? What I'm talking about here are bad things that happened to people you knew or know which could have been prevented. These bad things would not have happened if someone hadn't been ignorant or naïve, or ...read more

    Does God Exist? - A Look At Atheism, Agnosticism, And Theism

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jan 31, 2024
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,203 views

    The question 'Does God exist?' has only two possible direct answers: Either 'yes,' which is theism, and 'no,' which is atheism.

    The agnostic responds with 'I don't know' and 'no one knows,' which is actually an affirmative answer that has never been established, so the question is meaningless because they are not direct answers. (See ...read more

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Mar 18, 2025
     | 552 views

    The death of Jesus is the central thought, intention, and focus of the classic "The Old Rugged Cross." The death of Jesus is a worthy topic for a worship song because the death of Jesus is central to our faith.

    SONGS WE SING: “THE OLD RUGGED CROSS” Romans 5:1-11 #theoldruggedcross INTRODUCTION… Funeral this past week (p) Some of you may know, but some may not, that I am on a short list for a few of the funeral homes around the area for emergencies or when a family has lost a loved one and the family is ...read more
