He Could Have Saved Himself!

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Dec 19, 2000

Their conclusion was this: "He saved others, but He can’t save himself!" That was their conclusion, a logical conclusion, but a false conclusion.

The Loving Pastor Series

Contributed by Scott Bayles on Jan 27, 2008

Jesus demonstrates the heart of a true pastor when he leads the lost sheep of Israel to green pasture... litterally.

The Loving Pastor Pastor Jesus. It’s not a phrase you hear very often. In fact, you may never have heard Jesus referred to quite like that. Nevertheless, Jesus was and is our pastor—the Good Pastor. The word pastor—which we often use to describe our church leaders and preachers—is derived from the ...read more

What Happens When The Camera Turns On You? Series

Contributed by Sherm Nichols on Oct 10, 2007

There must come a time of godly division when we accept or reject Jesus. John, in this part of his gospel, is pushing his readers to consider their belief about Jesus.

You may remember this Sunday as the Sunday that Church was no longer safe. (Use video camera). Once in a while, for special occasions and things, we have video taped our worship time and there has been a camera on my face up here. What would happen if we took the focus off the front of the ...read more

The Crucifixion Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 22, 2005

Jesus chose to go to the cross - to be beaten and spat upon and to be separated from the Father - even though He didn’t have to. The question is: why did He do it? Also learn when it’s right to speak up and when to remain silent.

1 Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law and the whole Sanhedrin, reached a decision. They bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate. The Jewish religious leadership had already decided to try to get Jesus killed - they had done it ...read more

The Ability To Forgiveness Is The Most Powerful And Lifechanging Miracle We Could Ever Perform.

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Nov 24, 2019

Here is a definitive sermon on forgiveness, and why we should see it as a power way of changing our lives and everything associated with us. I mention our subconscious mind, the Garden of Eden and the last words of Jesus to explain this life changing truth.

The Temptation Of Pleasing People Series

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Apr 11, 2021

When we start out wanting to serve God it is so easy to get distracted by what will please the people around us. But we have to choose one or the other, please God or please people.

I had quite a dream last night. Spring training hasn’t even started yet, but in my dream I saw the final game of the 2007 World Series. It was in Wrigley Field. The Cubs were winning in the bottom of the 9th. Two outs, bases loaded. Kerry Woods is on the mound, looking to cap a phenomenal ...read more

Grab Hold Of The Authority And Power Of God

Contributed by James May on Aug 31, 2022

We must have God's authority and power with us if we are to fight the spiritual warfare in these last hours. We need faith to reach out and take hold of God's promises like the Woman with the issue of blood who took hold of the hem of his garment.

Grab Hold of the Authority and Power of God We live in a time when so many in the church have taken on the attitude of the people who lived in the Land of the Gadarenes in Luke chapter 8. I won’t go into the history of the land of the Gadarenes except to say that many of those who lived there ...read more

Father Forgive Them… (Palm Sunday)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

Every four years our nation has to re-elect or elect a new president.

During the campaign season we watch the polls of these candidates go up and down from week to week like a yo-yo. The Presidents popularity can be 70 to 80% one day and a week later it might be below 50%. WHY DO THE POLLS GO UP AND DOWN? It has everything to do with the candidates doing something ...read more

Are You Ready For Christmas?

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Apr 22, 2020

John the Baptist told people to make preparations to meet Jesus that were very different from our preparations for Christmas.

What Shall I Do Then?

Contributed by Kenneth Wooley on Jun 18, 2003

Every person on the face of the earth is faced with the question; What shall I do then with Jesus?

We are now close to the climax for which Jesus came into the world. We have looked at Christ’s betrayal by Judas, the mock trial of the Jews and now the Roman trial. The innocense of Jesus has been stated 5 times. Pilate stated it rightly; (Lk. 23:14) "I, having examined him before you, have found ...read more
