    This is a sermon about the powerful Treat the Poor and what it means to be working poor in a country with so much every thing. The Sermon is based on the interactions between David and Nathan around his killing of Uriah

    Text “and sent Nathan to David. Nathan said to him, “There were two men in the same city—one rich, the other poor. The rich man had huge flocks of sheep, herds of cattle. The poor man had nothing but one little female lamb, which he had bought and raised. It grew up with him and ...read more

    Lord, Thou Hast Been our Refuge: An Exposition of the 90th Psalm The 90th Psalm is titled “A Psalm of Moses the Man of God” which probably makes this the oldest Psalm in the Bible. It has inspired great music. Isaac Watts paraphrased the words in the hymn “O God our Help in Ages Past.” This in ...read more

    The Crown Of Suffering Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 19, 2018
     | 4,966 views

    The scourging Jesus endured would have been unimaginably horrific, but His suffering was from over. Following the merciless beating, Jesus was then subjected to ridicule and mockery. All of this was done for you and me!

    The Crown of Suffering Mark 15: 16-21 Our last study ended with a gripping statement: And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. It doesn’t reveal much detail. We are merely told that Jesus was ...read more

    Sometimes we as Christians forget our true purpose here on Earth, and it is our first and foremost purpose to love each of God's creation. So many people have turned their backs on God because of the church. It's time to flip the script.

    We’re going to be discussing the power of love. Now, Webster’s dictionary defines love as a strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties. Affection based on sexual desire. Affection based on admiration, benevolence or common interests, attachment, devotion, ...read more

     | 3,562 views

    We know that killing another is wrong, but Jesus expands the realm of accountability for murder beyond what most, even in our day, perceive as murderous.

    A Word Concerning Murder Matthew 5: 21-26 In our text today, Jesus continued to emphasize the righteous standard that God expects and requires of humanity to have fellowship with Him. Here our Lord continued to point out man’s misguided perception of righteousness and He again rebukes the ...read more

    Do you believe that God has a mission for you? Are you listening when God calls you to that mission? Or, do you have some reservations about that mission?

    WHAT’S YOUR MISSION ON STRAIGHT STREET? Text: Acts 9:1 - 20 But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring ...read more

    October 29, 2022 Samuel was the last Judge of Israel, and he serves as a link between the time of the Judges and the Monarchy, so our story begins with him {1 Samuel 1-3}.

    Three Crosses On A Hill: A Study In Evangelism

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Nov 6, 2022
     | 1,563 views

    When we preach about the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for our sins upon the cross, we forget that there were also two men crucified on crosses next to Him. Each man had the opportunity to look to Jesus for grace and mercy. Their response determined their eternal destiny.

    The agony of the crucifixion and the final hours of Jesus are recorded in all four gospels, each written with their own unique perspective of what happened that dark day (Matthew 27; Mark 15; Luke 23; John 19). Each one tells of the jeering, mockery, contempt, and seething hatred towards the ...read more

    The goal of the Christian life is perfect imitation of God because God is the only one who is perfect. He’s full of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. God made us to imitate our creator.

    Why is this sermon called "Palm Friday?" Is it not "Palm Sunday?" Is not Friday called "Good Friday?"

    Palm Friday: A Sermon for Passion Sunday John 18:22 NKJV And when He had said these things, one of the officers who stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, “Do You answer the high priest like that?” We now come to the Sunday which has two names in the Lectionary.
