Lesson #21 [id4] Reminder Of The Promises Of God Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Oct 22, 2020

There are many different responses to the Gospel. The point of Jesus’ parable in Matthew 13 was not to plant doubt in the hearts of the disciples. Rather, Jesus was showing His disciples how many ways the human heart can respond to the good news.

Did The Tribulation Just Begin?

Contributed by Michael Stark on May 2, 2020

In these times of lockdown, some have begun to imagine that the Great Tribulation just began. Rather than focusing on such idle speculation, the Word of God would encourage us to shine brightly in difficult times to turn many to righteousness.

“Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you. For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, ‘There is peace and security,’ then sudden destruction will come upon ...read more

Disciples Of Jesus Employ The Strategy Of Multiplication Series

Contributed by David Owens on Feb 1, 2021

The Great Commission is not about making converts. Rather, it is about making disciples and that task is not completed until each new disciple is enabled to obey everything Jesus commanded, including the command to go and make disciples. This leads to multiplication.

A. Today, I want to talk about the strategy of multiplication. 1. Let’s start with a riddle and a joke. 2. What do you call a hen that can add, subtract, and multiply? A math-a-ma-chicken. 3. In the days of Noah, when the animals left the ark, Noah told them to go forth and multiply. a. After ...read more

Jesus - Prophet, Priest, And King

Contributed by Austin Lamos on Jun 16, 2021

Jesus In Scripture we find that Jesus held three primary offices. These three offices define, or rather are defined by, who Jesus is, and what he did. These three offices, or roles, are Prophet, Priest, and King.

Sermon On Accountability & Responsibility

Contributed by William Meakin on Aug 28, 2023

One of the many definitions of accountability includes owning up to the positive and negative consequences of our individual choices in life and the subsequent behavioral trait that undoubtedly follows, rather than attributing the cause to external factors or somebody else.

Christopher Norio Avery, an American public policy scholar and writer once remarked: “Taking responsibility – practicing 100 percent responsibility every day – is about seeing ourselves not as right or wrong, but as an agent, chooser, problem solver, and learner in the complex interrelationships of ...read more

Go! And Don’t Let Illusion Become Delusion - 2 Thessalonians 2:9–12 Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Jun 16, 2025

We scroll through illusions on screens, filter reality through opinions, & often chase shadows rather than light. But God’s Word warns us: don’t let illusion become delusion.

Go! And Don’t Let Illusion Become Delusion - 2 Thessalonians 2:9–12 2 Thessalonians 2:9–12 (NLT): “This man will come to do the work of Satan with counterfeit power and signs and miracles.

The Truth About Salvation, Part 4 Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Nov 3, 2025

When challenged, John the Baptist does not fall into the trap of responding from “ego”, rather, he simply testifies to what is true and lets it speak for itself! This is our calling today, and what we must model also.

God’s Brooks

Contributed by Samuel M on Apr 26, 2025

God sends Elijah to Cherith Brook, a spring of water that dried up after sometime. It supported Elijah for a season, after that it dried up. God’s brooks, or provisions are not continuous or lifelong springs but rather seasonal streams.

Then the word of the LORD came to him, saying, “Get away from here and turn eastward, and hide by the Brook Cherith, which flows into the Jordan. And it will be that you shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.” 1 Kings 17:2-4 And it happened after a while ...read more

Sermon – When Following Jesus Gets Hard

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Aug 20, 2024

This simple plain teaching of Jesus was too much to bear. Rather than change their minds, they walk away. This is the fundamental reason people reject Jesus Christ: He doesn't coordinate with their own selfish interests.

Sermon – When Following Jesus Gets Hard Scripture - John 6:66-69 “At this point many of his disciples turned away and deserted him. Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, “Are you also going to leave?” Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life. ...read more

Living Under The Influence Of The Spirit Series

Contributed by David Owens on Feb 17, 2025

Being filled with the Holy Spirit doesn't have to do with having more of the Holy Spirit, rather it has to do with allowing the Spirit to have more of us. It is about cooperating with the Spirit and allowing the Spirit to be in control.

Introduction: A. I want to begin today’s sermon with an old story, which is a legend of unknown origin that has appeared in many forms over the years, but teaches an important principle. 1. Once there was a grandfather who was talking with his grandson. 2. The grandfather said, “In life, there are ...read more

The Meaning Of Love

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 7, 2001

Jesus teaching on love is totally radical. He pushes us to practice love, rather than giving excuses, and he points out that to love is to be a neighbour to anyone we might come across who needs our care.

You may remember the Beatles, back in the 60’s singing "All you need is Love." There’s no doubt that there was a great truth carried in those simple lyrics. If we were to look around the world today, it’s clear that a good dose of love would cure many of the world’s ills. But it’s easier said than ...read more
