    Retaliation Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 19, 2022
     | 1,839 views

    The spirit of retaliation is natural to the unregenerate mind. It belongs to the animal part of our nature. It creeps into our earliest feelings as little children. And it is one of the most difficult of evils to overcome.

    Sermon on the Mount - Matthew 5:38-42 (Retaliation) MATTHEW 5:38-42, NIV 38 You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. 40 And if anyone ...read more

    The Reality Of Joy

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 28, 2023
     | 1,521 views

    What is Biblical Joy? Throughout the New Testament, we are encouraged to be joyful and to rejoice. But does that mean that we always have to be happy?

    The question that Paul seems to be trying to answer for most of this passage of scripture is, how Jewish do you have to be to be a Christian? It was the question of whether or not Christians had to follow all of the Jewish regulations and guidelines was an ongoing debate throughout the New ...read more

    The Pharisees Confront Jesus: What Does It Mean To Be A Hypocrite? An Issue Of The Heart Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jul 10, 2023
     | 1,000 views

    The Pharisees today are often regarded as hypocrites, mean, nasty, people who killed Jesus, and it’s true that they plotted against Jesus. But in general these were not bad people. These were religious leaders trying to help the people live according to God’s ways.

    A lot of the scriptures that we look at, I feel like we get to understand another piece of the puzzle about who Jesus really is. It’s like we dive into a moment in history and we get to look over the shoulder of Jesus and see what he does, and why he does it, and we’re amazed. We want to live like ...read more

     | 1,411 views

    Life is filled with many surprises. That is, there are times when we feel we can depend on some things and then they disappoint us. For example,

    Illus: Some of you have bought new cars because you wanted some dependable transportation. Then you found that new car, that you thought would surely be dependable, stranded you on a roadside. There are many things we have thought would be dependable that turned out not to be. Then there are ...read more

    At the 1997 North American Christian Convention, author Stuart Briscoe told the old story of a farmer who was walking along the road with his horse and his dog.

    • A pickup truck came racing by and knocked them off the road into the ditch • The farmer sued for damages: Including loss of work time, claiming he had a broken leg, some facial injuries, and several cracked ribs that kept him bedridden • The defense attorney told the judge, "Your honor, ...read more

    How Can We Show The Lord We Love Him ?

     | 1,018 views

    As we take a close look at this text, we see a picture of the Lord and the twelve disciples gathered for their Passover supper.

    The disciples had the question of who was the greatest among them on their minds, but Jesus had something entirely different on His mind. He was thinking of the one that would BETRAY HIM! One of the most painful experiences in life is to be betrayed by someone we love. • We all know the ...read more

    Second Commandment (2 Of 12)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022
     | 1,172 views

    As we preach through this series on the commandments I would like to remind you again of the importance of the importance of considering just why God gave these commandments to children of Israel.

    They had been in cruel bondage for four hundred and thirty years. Then God freed them from that bondage. God reminds them of that in verse 2, we read, “I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.” Isn’t it amazing, if I do you a big ...read more

    What God’s Love Do In Our Lives

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 26, 2022
     | 2,394 views

    In Chicago a few years ago a little boy walked to Sunday school every Sunday. When his parents moved to another part of the city the little boy still attended the same Sunday school, although it meant a longer distance to walk.

    A friend asked him why he went so far when there were plenty of other churches near his home. He said, “I attend my church because they love a fellow over there.” If only we could convince the world that we loved them there would be fewer empty pews in our churches. A TRUE DEFINITION OF LOVE. ...read more
