The Reward For A Christian Father

Onesimus

Contributed by Fran Van Hoven on Jun 29, 2007

The book probably doesn’t turn heads because of the subject matter. It’s about a slave. Actually, it’s about a runaway slave named Onesimus who had stolen something from his master, Philemon and ran away to avoid being caught. The Book of Philemon

God’s Plans For You

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 26, 2021

It’s a happy thought that God is constantly thinking about you! God was thinking about you before the first mountain was formed.You’re the apple of God’s eye, His own dear children. He says, “The very hairs of your heads are all numbered.”

Jesus The Controversialist Series

Contributed by David Owens on Apr 17, 2023

Mark portrays Jesus as strong and bold as He dealt with spiritual controversies "head on." In this section of Mark, he grouped together four incidents that showed how Jesus faced the controversies and taught the truth. We need to ask ourselves if we are more like Jesus or the Pharisees.

A. Let me begin with a question: when you try to picture Jesus in your mind, how do you picture Him? 1. Do you picture Him being gentle, meek and loving? Certainly, He was all those things. 2. But Jesus also had other characteristics and other sides to Him. 3. When we read the Gospel accounts, ...read more

The Book Of Lamentations – Part 37 – We Look At The Crimes Of Edom; Their Evil Against Israel - Chapter 4:20-22 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 4, 2025

With Israel’s defeat, all means were used against them in the name of hate. Ambushes and murder from Edom was despicable. God had not overlooked it. The end of Chapter 4 has Edom in God’s sights so the evil done to Israel will come hard on their own heads.

THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 37 – WE LOOK AT THE CRIMES OF EDOM; THEIR EVIL AGAINST ISRAEL - CHAPTER 4:20-22 This is the last of the descriptions of the plight of the refugees.

The Book Of Lamentations – Part 21 – What The Lord Hates And God’s Sovereignty In Declaring Good Or Evil - Chapter 3:33-38 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 6, 2025

We look at what worthless persons do; what the Lord hates, and the system in the world including injustice. False prophets are considered – they are always around. The sovereign God dispenses good and ill, that is, eternal life and eternal death. Good and ill proceed from God in heaven.

Heth - Psalm 119:57-64 Series

Contributed by Bobby Stults on Dec 13, 2011

Here we can see that the psalmist understands that God is the author of the Law he is writing about and that God’s law is something PERSONAL to him… Now with that premise locked in our heads, let’s look at our passage to see what he is saying in these 8 v

Three Portraits Of Salvation In Philippi

Contributed by John Hamby on May 27, 2014

Every morning and every evening the head of a Jewish household would pray, giving thanks that God had not created him “a Gentile, a woman or a slave.” It hardly seems coincidental that the first three conversions which take place at Philippi, come from those three despised categories.

Never The Less, I Will At Thy Word!

Contributed by Tony Abram on Sep 17, 2012

In this sermon outline we find that sometimes even if our head knowledge says no to the task before us, we take God at His Word and Promises. Romans 8:31 (KJV) What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? We then can sa

Some Aspects Of The Church From Its Beginning - Christ's Tender Care And Provision For The Church - Part 7 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 17, 2023

The Church is a living, vital organism under the care of the Master Physician, the most precious entity the Lord possesses, so close to His heart and embodied in the first marriage union. Let us look at the Lord’s tender care for His Church as He works to bring us to the fullness of Christ.

A Blameless Conversation Series

There is an utter necessity for Christians to live a pure and blameless life before a world that wants to demean the name of Jesus. We need Jesus, we need to proclaim Jesus, and we need to represent Jesus!

Application Points: - We need Jesus - We need to proclaim Jesus - We need to represent Jesus Text: 1 Peter 2:11-12 1 Peter 2:11-12 11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; 12 Having your conversation honest among the ...read more

Nicodemus (Part 2) – He Is Born Again At The Cross – Jesus Was Lifted Up Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 7, 2022

Too many churches have forgotten that there is an entry into God’s kingdom, the way of the new birth, in order to become children of the living God, and instead, they seem to be content that people just come to church. Nicodemus had to learn the necessity of the new birth - AND HE DID.

A Crown Of Righteousness

Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Apr 3, 2020

Jesus came into Jerusalem as Christ, the King. He would face death because they did not know what type of King Jesus was. But they placed a crown on his head and mocked him. Paul faced death and looked forward to a crown of righteousness. It's time for us wear our crown.

A Crown Of Righteousness (2 Tim. 4:6-8) Intro: A. It was different. Jesus had never publicly allowed what was happening. The hype, the gossip, the sneers and the praise were all mixed together. It was Sunday morning and Jesus was coming into Jerusalem, but not like he had ...read more
