    We see this Mary three times, all of which she is at the feet of Jesus. And she did all that she could. And Jesus said she will remembered.

    Next month, we celebrate Easter Sunday. Today, I will talk about one thing that happened right before the cross, so that we can begin to return our focus on Jesus, His death, and His glorious resurrection. The one thing I think most about when I think about Jesus dying and then coming back is ...read more

     | 3,151 views

    What does it mean to say that Jesus was fully human? Was he married? Did he have a family. Was He a sinner just the like the rest of us? This sermon seeks to answer these questions in light of the claims of Dan Brown’s book, The DaVinci Code

    Introduction: In preparation for the spiritual tsunami that is coming on May 19th with the release of the movie, The DaVinci Code, we began last week, to look at the first of three claims that form the basis for the ideas found in Dan Brown’s book. The message focused on the trustworthiness of the ...read more

  • Troubled At His Appearing And Presence?

    Contributed by Victor Ramlall on Dec 20, 2011
     | 2,891 views

    The presence of the righteous can be a source of discomfort to those who are bent on unrighteous pursuits since it makes the unrighteous uncomfortable and guilty; a condition that should not be found in a believer who is in the presence of the Lord.

    Mat 2:1-6 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. 3 When Herod the king had ...read more

  • The Ten Commandments Series

    Contributed by Sean Harder on Jul 5, 2013
     | 6,032 views

    The rest of the book of Exodus takes place at Mt Sinai, the mountain of God. This of course fulfills the sign promised to Moses at the burning bush, that “when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve the Lord on this mountain”.

    It says they arrived here on the 3rd new moon which gets them here about 7 weeks after the Exodus out of Egypt. Again think about that. They are about half way to the Promised Land after 7 weeks, but the next half takes them almost 40 years. The other thing significant about this timing is that ...read more

    “The Great Unveiling: Guaranteed Security” Rev. 7:1-17 Last week we looked at the seven seals and saw how much of God’s judgment is already underway in history. We learned that there is still much more to come, and with increasing intensity. But after the sixth seal there was a ...read more

     | 5,995 views

    This passage presents the distinctions between Old Covenant and New Covenant religion.

    Introduction We’ve noticed that, while Jesus has gotten off to a great start amazing everyone with his teaching, healing and exorcising of demons, he has also started to create controversy. He first seems like he has all the markings of a special man of God – maybe a prophet, ...read more

  • Marriage And Divorce Series

    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Oct 30, 2012
     | 4,097 views

    Divorce is a difficult subject to deal with, not merely because the issue is complex, but because divorce is so widespread and painful. We must consider it honestly before the Lord and examine our hearts in light of it.

    Introduction Divorce is a difficult subject to deal with, not merely because the issue is complex, but because divorce is so widespread and painful. This is one subject I know that affects nearly everyone in any church. Some of you have divorced parents, some divorced children, or divorced ...read more

  • Murderer's Row! Series

    Contributed by Terry Blankenship on Mar 14, 2012
     | 4,982 views

    Murder comes in many different forms. It is misunderstood in our culture. Some religions believe that stepping on a bug or ant is equivalent to murder. What does the Word of God say about it?

    Exodus 20:13 Murderer’s Row! 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

    Jesus' disapproval of the scribes and approval of the poor widow in Luke 20:45-21:4 warns us about the despotic authority of religious leadership.

    Scripture Jesus was in the final week of his life. After his triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, Jesus returned to the temple on Monday and drove out the merchants who were selling their wares and obscuring the people’s access to God. This enraged the religious rulers, who then ...read more

  • Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evi?

    Contributed by Kelly Benton on Nov 10, 2010
    based on 28 ratings
     | 15,590 views

    Our churches are afraid to speak against such issues within the church itself because of the fear of losing people and stepping on toes. Christians are afraid to speak out against it because we do not want to be viewed as bigots or as intolerant right w

    Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil? Scripture: 2 Timothy 4: 2-8 Date: 14 November 2010 Purpose: Accepting everything means you believe in nothing. When it comes to right and wrong, sitting on the fence won’t get you – or the people ...read more
