    Now Is The Time

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jul 23, 2017
    based on 2 ratings
     | 19,432 views

    Israel had wandered from God, even though He sought them to return. He wanted to bless them, but they had to meet God's conditions. The church has much potential, but we too must return to the Lord.

    Now is the Time Hosea 10:12 Over the past few weeks we have considered the condition of Israel and her need for repentance. God loved His people and desired to have a fulfilling relationship with them. Unfortunately they sought the ways of the world and the desires of the flesh while neglecting ...read more

    A Tragic Death Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Sep 6, 2017
     | 10,781 views

    This passage in Mark is one of great tragedy. It has been suggested there were actually two deaths revealed - the death of John the Baptist and the death of Herod's conscience.

    A Tragic Death Mark 6: 14-29 Our text today deals with the horrific and tragic death of John the Baptist. Mark discussed the character of John and the tragic reason for his untimely death. The text actually deals with John’s death in retrospect, sometime after it had happened. John’s untimely ...read more

    Let's talk about the privileges, the punishments and the payoffs from 1 Corinthians 10:1-11 (Material adapted from E. Hurndall of Bible Hub at: http://biblehub.com/sermons/auth/hurndall/old_testament_pictures.htm)

    HoHum: What do you think of when you hear the following names: Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Bakker, and Ted Haggard? Most people think: How in the world could these people let themselves do this? Why did they give up so much for so little? What would make them compromise their dreams? WBTU: Paul is dealing ...read more

    Partners In The Faith Series

     | 10,367 views

    Paul was confident in the Lord and committed to the church. We need to share his confidence in the Lord and a genuine commitment and devotion to the church.

    Partners in the Faith Philippians 1: 3-8 It is impossible to read the letter to the Philippians and miss Paul’s great love for the church. In fact, as you read his many epistles, the love he had for the church is confirmed again and again. It does appear he had a special bond with those at ...read more

    Conformed To Unity - Philippians 2:1-4 Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 19, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 15,549 views

    With the exception of faithfulness to sound, biblical doctrine, nothing is more essential to the prosperity of the church than unity. In fact, sound doctrine without unity will profit little. When love is present, unity also will be.

    Conformed to Unity Philippians 2: 1-4 As we move into chapter two, we quickly discover these verses are a continuation of the previous passage. Phil.1:27 – Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of ...read more

    Love Beyond Limits Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 8, 2021
     | 4,356 views

    Just as it was in Jesus’ day, many have a perception of love, but it is not love as God commands. Much of what we see today described as love does not fit the biblical model for love.

    Love beyond Limits Matthew 5: 43-48 As we close out the fifth chapter of Matthew, we are getting close to the midway point of the great sermon Jesus preached. For the past several weeks we have considered various contrasts Jesus made regarding time honored traditions and the reality of what God ...read more

    What To Leave Behind In 2019

    Contributed by Anthony Zibolski on Jan 10, 2020
     | 7,083 views

    We are not able to read a crystal ball or read into the future but there are some things that you must do to leave the past behind and move forward into the New Year.

    What to leave behind in 2019 Introduction This morning (29th) you are a few days from the New Year (2020), and physically if you are like most of us you are one step from exhaustion and you are praying that you are not going to get on that merry go round and play it again as 2019.

    A Futile Effort Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 13, 2019
     | 6,580 views

    God spoke to Jonah, calling him to go and cry against Nineveh. Foolishly, Jonah thought he could flee the presence of God. However, God intended for Nineveh to hear a warning, and He intended Jonah to deliver that warning. It is futile to try and flee God's presence!

    A Futile Effort Jonah 1: 1-10 Having considered the introduction for Jonah, I want to remind us of the major theme of the book. Most tend to focus solely on Jonah’s miraculous deliverance from the belly of the great fish, but that is just one scene from this account in Scripture. In fact, that ...read more

    HoHum: Larry Crabb said in his book called The Safest Place on Earth- “The difference between spiritual and unspiritual community is not whether conflict exists, but is rather in our attitude toward it and our approach to handling it. When conflict is seen as an opportunity to draw more fully ...read more

    Quote: Patton: "in the counter attack in WWII Patton said: "Rommel, I read Your Book" Jesus is tempted and His tactics to defeat the temptations of Satan was to quote scripture. It is good advice for us.

    Four Horns Four Carpenters

    A horn, in scripture, represents two things: strength and a strong king or kingdom.

    Professional bull riders who compete for a prize fear a bull with horns most. The possibility of being gored is greater on bulls with large horns. Horns represent strength and power. A horn, in scripture, represents two things: strength and a strong king or kingdom. In Zechariah 1:21 we see the ...read more
