    Truth - A Bargain At Twice The Price Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 14, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,802 views

    Proverbs 23 says we should "buy truth." But you'd think "truth" was highly valued enough in society that you wouldn't have to be told to pay for it. Why would God advise us buy it?

    (I spent a couple years as a student at Purdue University, and this is one of the jokes I heard there) There were a couple of students - one from IU and one from Notre Dame - standing beside a flagpole discussing something. About that time, a student from Purdue walked over and asked “What ya ...read more

    The Lord Be With You

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Apr 21, 2024
     | 855 views

    Isn't it a wonderful thing to be aware of the presence of God! The psalmist said knowing that God was with him made it so that he was not afraid, even if going through the valley of the shadow of death.

    Alba 4-21-2024 THE LORD BE WITH YOU II Thessalonians 3:16-18 Richard Wurmbrand, of Voice of the Martyrs, told the story of a church leader he met while imprisoned in Romania.

    What would a person do, when he is given by God the Father to Jesus?

    “Jesus answered them, ’I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name bear witness about me, but you do not believe because you are not part of my flock. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal ...read more

    Are You Related To Jesus?

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on May 12, 2024
     | 927 views

    The words that Jesus spoke as recorded in our text for today sound quite strange and may be strange for a Mother's Day sermon. Somehow it seems out of character for Jesus to say what He did. But He had a purpose.

    Alba 5-12-2024 ARE YOU REATED TO JESUS? Mark 3:31-35 Mother’s Day is a special time for us to honor mothers. That is a good thing to do. And hopefully, we honor them all year long, not just on this holiday. Sadly, many of us do not realize how good our mother was until she has passed on and ...read more

    9 of 10. The apostle Peter informs those who are faithful in Christ, that they are amply supplied for godly living. God’s people are amply supplied for godly living thru their faith. But, ?What does Christian faith acquire for God’s people? A provision of God, acquired thru faith in Jesus, is...

    "the Strength Of The Ox."

    Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on May 15, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,884 views

    Beloved, the ox is a metaphor for a pastor's need for freedom to lead and expand the Church's impact. Working together in unity and harmony as one body, we can make a substantial difference in our community by spreading love, hope, and kindness to those in need.

    SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES (Proverbs 14:4) “Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.” (Proverbs 15:17) “Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.” (1 ...read more

    This is a study of the gospel of Mark regarding the life of Jesus. It is based on my personal study and research of Scripture and many books and sermons I have read over the years.

    But do you realize how secure we are in God's name? In today’s message, let’s listen while the psalmist tells us how great our God is.

    A few weeks ago we talked about how precious God's name is and the love that is expressed to us in His name. But do you realize how secure we are in God's name? In today’s message, let’s listen while the psalmist tells us how great our God is. I'll have to admit, that even as a ...read more

    Pilate's Wife

    Contributed by Claude Alexander on Apr 2, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,005 views

    It is surprising, and sad, that the only testimony (in effect) on Jesus’ behalf during the trial was made, not by any of Jesus’ disciples, nor apostles, nor followers, but by Pilate’s wife.

    Pilate's Wife Matt. 27:11-26 The chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole council of the Sanhedrin had decided to put Jesus to death. They had Jesus brought before Pilate the governor to pronounce the death sentence. (Mark 15:1; Luke 22:66; 23:1) Pontius Pilate was the fifth ...read more

    The Return Of The King

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 7, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,477 views

    Palm Sunday represents the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem as King of Israel. Although all his life He had been poor and obscure, at last His identity as the Son of David was recognized, nationally. Every knee shall bow & every tongue confess the King!

    THE RETURN OF THE KING Luke 19:12-15,27 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: UNLOADING THE WORD 1. Pastor Ken Sumrall tells a story from his days of pasturing in Mississippi years ago.

    In Genesis 12 and 13 we learn two valuable lessons.

    • In Genesis 12:10-20, Abraham is seen leaving Canaan (The Promised Land) during A TIME OF FAMINE to go to Egypt (a picture of the world). • In Genesis 13 we see Abraham recognizing his mistake of going to Egypt, and returning back to Canaan land.

    #65 Buried, He Carried My Sins Far Away Series

    Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Apr 10, 2022
     | 3,685 views

    People love to fast forward through commercials during recorded TV shows and podcasts. That’s what we often do with the burial of Jesus. We focus on the cross and fast-forward to the resurrection. But the burial of Jesus is part of the Gospel.
