Zechariah's Seventh Vision: Wickedness Removed Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on May 16, 2022

This vision of a woman in a basket constitutes a promise from God to His people to remove wickedness from their midst. The previous vision (#6) was about removing individual rebels. This vision is the removal of the wicked system energizing sin.

Here Zechariah sees a vision of a basket, a woman in the basket, and two women with wings carrying the basket to Babylon. What does the basket represent? What about the woman in the basket? Are the two ...read more

Jesus Teaches His Disciples (Part 2) Series

Contributed by David Owens on Sep 4, 2023

As Jesus continued to privately teach His disciples in Mark chapter 9, we see that He focused on teaching them about pride and prejudice. It was important for them and for us to learn about humility and tolerance.

The two lessons we explored last week had to do with prayer and the passion of Jesus. 2. In today’s sermon, we will ...read more

What Is The Generation Jesus Will Return?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Sep 27, 2023

Some Scholars say the term “generation” means an average life span and refers either to the generations in which Jesus lived while on Earth or to the generation living when the end time signs begin to occur.

The word “generation” (Gk: ‘genea’) can refer to the age or period of the members of a family as determined by the average span of life (Genesis 31:3; Matthew 1:17, 17:17; Mark 9:19; Luke 9:41, 16:8; Acts 2:40), as well as all the people of a given period (Matthew 24:34, Mark 13:30, Luke 1:48, ...read more

Listening And Doing

Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Jan 26, 2020

Acting on faith waters faith. Listening to sermons and reading the Bible and doing nothing in response leads to...nothing. God wants way more than nothing for His people. So He's given us the gift and calling of being doers of the Word and not only hearers.

Sermon for January 26, 2020 - Listening and Doing [I am thankful to William Barclay's exposition of James chapter 1, which influences much of this message directly and indirectly.] Did you know that God truly cares about every aspect of your life? Sometimes people say that God is too big or ...read more

I Am Not With Them

Contributed by Sean Dees on Feb 7, 2020

It is easy to go with the flow of doubters when it comes to the promises of God, we are to go against the grain and the flow of "doubters traffic" to the promises God has for us.
