Jesus Was Rejected Series

Contributed by Robert Irvine on Apr 23, 2024

Jesus was rejected by his family, by his local religious leaders, by Judas Iscariot, by Simon Peter, and then finally by God. So expect to be rejected if you share the Good News of Jesus Christ and him crucified.

The Old Testament word “hadel” is used in this verse that is transliterated as rejected, but this word has also been used in the Bible to mean forbearing. The word “hadel” is used in Ez 3: when God told the prophet that some will listen to the message but there will also be those who refuse to ...read more

Israel’s Greatest General (1of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 1, 2022

In our text we read of Israel’s greatest general. His name is Joshua. In Joshua 23, Joshua had reached the golden years of his life.

Look at verse 1. We read, “...Joshua waxed old and stricken in age.” When we consider Joshua’s age, we need to consider TWO things. (1) Look at the phrase, “...stricken in age.” Today it seems many folks are fighting a battle with old age. Illus: One man in Missouri said, “It is rough ...read more

Israel’s Greatest General (2 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 1, 2022

The life of Joshua, of the Bible, is unique in many ways. First, it is unique in that his name is mentioned in the Bible. If God had said nothing about him at all except to mention his name, that would have made him very special.

He was even more unique in that we have a record of his life when he was A YOUNG MAN and also when he was OLD MAN. Then the Bible tells us, in chapter twenty-three, what took place when he was, “stricken with age.” Joshua had lived a godly life. Before he DEPARTED, he wanted to IMPART things to ...read more

Preaching From Philippians #3

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021

In the last sermon, we dealt with Paul stating that whether he lived or died, his purpose for living was for the Lord Jesus.

When he wrote to the Philippian church, he was in prison. In prison he knew that he faced a capital crime and that he might be executed. If you were in prison and you thought that you might die, what kind of letter would you write? We do not have to guess at what kind of letter the Apostle Paul ...read more

Following Jesus At A Distance - Mark 14:66-72 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on May 20, 2024

When is it okay to protect yourself, and when does it fall into the kind of self-saving that Jesus forbids? We'll learn from Jesus and Peter what it looks like to lose your life to save it rather than saving your life and losing it.

Kingdom Keys - Mark Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Jan 12, 2024

Fear and confusion are normal when first encountering the risen Jesus. It's why there are so many who hear the word, come in contact with the power of God and retreat. It doesn’t take brilliance to understand God’s message to humanity after hearing the facts. It takes courage.

So maybe you’ve heard it said, ‘read your bible’ so you tried and failed. Our hope as leaders is that all of us will pick up God’s word and come to understand the true nature of God. After all, the bible is God’s Word curated over centuries detailing His nature, His will, the meaning of life and ...read more
