A Losing Equation Or A Winning Combination Series

Contributed by Rick Stacy on Feb 7, 2005

2nd of 4 on Money. Based on 1 Timothy this series asks us to make 4 decisions about how we will treat money in our lives. This message forms the basis of our giving. A message on contentment by Ken Kersten was the source some points.

A Losing Equation or a Winning Combination I have always enjoyed math - because it just make sense (not like grammar with all it’s exceptions) and it always adds up. People who choose to love money and use people will always end up corrupt and ruined - always. People who choose right living and ...read more

The Shechemites Quarrel With Abimelech Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 2, 2020

Abimelech reigned, after a sort, for three years without any disturbance; he did not do any good for his country, but he was content as long he enjoyed the title and dignity of a king, and not only the Shechemites but many other places paid him respect.

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 2, 2021

Nicodemus (Part 2) – He Is Born Again At The Cross – Jesus Was Lifted Up Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 7, 2022

Too many churches have forgotten that there is an entry into God’s kingdom, the way of the new birth, in order to become children of the living God, and instead, they seem to be content that people just come to church. Nicodemus had to learn the necessity of the new birth - AND HE DID.

Those Summary Attributes Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jul 25, 2022

When we ponder God in light of the Scriptures, we are overwhelmed with Who He is. Some of His attributes are lesser known than others, including what we call “summary attributes.”

Those Summary Attributes 1. There is a joke that is so old some of you may never have heard it. I don’t think I’ve told it – at least during a sermon – for twenty years. 2. In the foyer of a church, a young boy was looking at a plaque with names of men and women.. He asked the pastor, “Who are ...read more

The Devil Goes To Church Too Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Mar 21, 2019

Satan’s aim is to destroy our faith and to destroy our church. If he can destroy our faith, then we’ll destroy our church for him. And if he destroys the church, our faith will follow.

The Devil goes to church … did you know that? He has his favorite pew. He has his favorite hymns. He loves to see a church stuck in a rut because that’s a dying church. He loves a divided church because constant conflict keeps the church distracted from what it’s supposed to be doing. He’s ...read more

How Prepared Are We, Really?

Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Oct 24, 2020

In the parable of the 10 virgins, the whole point is being ready - truly ready - for coming face to face with Jesus - either when He returns or when we go to Him. This message, which relies heavily on William Barclay for context and content in the first part, explores this theme.

How Prepared Are We For Jesus? If we look at this parable with western eyes, it may seem an unnatural and a "made-up" story. But it actually telt tells a story that could have happened at any time in a Palestinian village and which could still happen today. A wedding was a great ...read more
