The question from John's disciples about fasting reveals a serious disconnect to what Jesus is trying to accomplish.

WHY DON'T THEY FAST? The question from John’s disciples shows that they missed the point that Jesus just made. - Matthew 9:13-14. - In v. 14, John’s disciples come and ask about why Jesus’ disciples aren’t fasting. In other gospels, it gives us more information that the Pharisees were in the ...read more

Gone Fishing

| 1,993 views

What did the disciples do after Jesus' miraculous resurrection? They went fishing! But this passage teaches us that it’s okay to get on with our lives while waiting for Jesus to make it clear what it is we are to do for him.

I’ll bet not one of you can tell me exactly what happened to the disciples after that first Easter morning, and in what order. And it’s not surprising. I would have had a hard time putting together a chronology of events if I hadn’t had to preach on the subject, and even then there’s a little ...read more

Sermon – The Neglected Vineyard

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Feb 27, 2024

The key takeaway from Song of Solomon 1:5-6 is that it does not matter what a person looks like on the outside, for true beauty is not found in physical features, but rather moral character and purity. Work on yourself more than for others.

Sermon – The Neglected Vineyard Scripture: Song of Solomon 1:4-9 “Draw me, we will run after You, The King has brought me into his chambers; we will be glad and rejoice in You, we will remember Your love more than wine; the upright love You.

| 1,085 views

Jesus has placed a call to people, but who and how many have actually answered? What has been our response, if any?

Have we picked up the Holy telephone or have we left the earthly answering machine on? Have we looked at the caller ID and just thought to ourselves that we will take the call later? Have we told the unholy secretary to hold all calls? Or have we responded, “Speak, for thy servant heareth” (1 ...read more

based on 105 ratings

There are three times in Hebrews 10:19-25, that the Hebrew writer uses the phrase, “let us,” to appeal to the local congregation about being steadfast in their attendance to the local assembly or church.

One of the greatest tragedies of the 21st Century in America is the realism that millions of people who claim to know Jesus Christ rarely attend a local church or participate in the worship services. In so many of the American churches, a lot of people basically attend three times in their entire ...read more
