Loving On Jesus Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 14, 2011

The old Gospel hymn says "Oh, how I love Jesus", but in John 14 Jesus implies that not everyone who says they love Him actually do. Just because I go to church regularly doesn’t mean I really love Him, so how can I know I really love Jesus like I say I do

OPEN: I love to sing, and one of my favorite Hymns is “Oh How I love Jesus”. Sing it with me now if you would: 1. There is a name I love to hear, I love to sing its worth; It sounds like music in my ear, the sweetest name on earth. CHORUS: O, how I love Jesus, O, how I love Jesus, O, how I love ...read more

Overwhelming Grace: The Prodigal Son, The Unjust Steward, And You!

Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Sep 19, 2019

This sermon examines the relationship between the prodigal son, unjust steward, and the hearer. It draws upon the parallels among all three to make a Gospel application. I am indebted to Dr. David Schmidt's observations on this text found on 1517.org for the idea.

Sermon # 34 - A Life That Pleases God Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 9, 2025

God the Father testified of Jesus saying, “This is my beloved Son with whom I am well pleased.” As children of God, it is good to constantly examine ourselves to see if our lives are pleasing to God and are in alignment with God and His word.

Today’s meditation is based on Matthew 3:17, “A voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, the one I love. I am very pleased with him."” (ERV) God the Father testified about His Son Jesus, that He was pleased with Him. Jesus was thirty years old when He began His public ministry. At the ...read more

7 Ways To Walk In Step With The Holy Spirit: How To Live A Victorious Christian Life

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jan 13, 2023

Christians are to live in lockstep with the guiding of the Holy Spirit . We learn as Christians to be practically guided on a daily basis by the leading of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit who lives in us, guides the direction of our life.

That is just the beginning. A wise believer ought to see their Christian walk as a journey, ...read more

Go! And Embrace The Trinity: Knowing The Triune God Changes Everything Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Aug 7, 2025

What if… the Trinity was not a puzzle to solve, but a Person to know? What if understanding God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit wasn’t just theological doctrine, but a doorway to deeper intimacy with God, powerful prayer, richer Bible reading, and a renewed spiritual life?

Rebels In The Pews Series

Contributed by E. True Neilson on Dec 15, 2014

At first glance the book of Numbers reads a bit like an operations manual. It’s got numbers of soldiers, lists of names, and a bit of repetition. Tucked between those lists and numbers are some stories of real people, dealing with real issues of faith!

The Sons Of Glory Pt.2 Series

Contributed by Mark Baker on Jan 17, 2010

As I read and meditate on this passage of Scripture, I find myself in awe of the profound truth of Jesus’ prayer. For many Christians it is hard to comprehend, much less receive. Yet, Jesus words are truth...

John 17:20. "I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; 21. "that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22. "And the glory which You gave Me I ...read more

"A Walk To Emmaus - Just Another Day" Series

How does discouragement affect our lives and our walk with Jesus Christ? When we are discouraged, we are to seek God’s Will and read His Word, even more than ever.
