To Be Blessed

Contributed by Dr. Jerry N. Watts on Dec 5, 2011

If we desire God’s full blessings, then we learn from scripture how to gain it.

To Be Blessed Jeremiah 4:1-4 * Most, if not all, of us desire, want, and long for the blessings and/or the favor of God. It’s written in our DNA.

Why We Disobey

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Sep 28, 2014

Disobedience is an issue of misplaced trust and miguided "truth". Obedience is a matter of the heart and flows from a heart of trust and love. Build your trust in God and grow your love for God.

Why do we disobey? Have you thought about that? • Think for a moment the last time you disobeyed someone, your parents, your superior. Why did you do that? What causes it? • It couldn’t be nothing. There is always something that triggers our disobedience. God has given clear ...read more

The Writing Is On The Wall

Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on May 1, 2012

Buying Your Own Ticket To Hell

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 15, 2020

Nobody really wants to go to Hell. Its very name conveys the ideas of “dread” and “punishment.” As strange as it sounds, one man in Scripture did buy his own ticket to Hell. Possibly some of you are in the process of buying your own ticket there.

BUYING YOUR OWN TICKET TO HELL Jonah 1:3; 2:1-2 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A young boy from down south attended Sunday school for the first time with his grandparents who lived up north. He was so excited he couldn’t wait to tell grandma about the lesson. 2. "My teacher taught us all ...read more

A Disturbing Call From A Merciful God Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Feb 17, 2020

The call by God for Jonah to go to Nineveh to preach is a call which confronts Jonah with a disturbing dynamic of God’s unanticipated mercy. Jonah finds this call too disturbing so he goes in the opposite direction to run away from the call of God.

Message Jonah 1:1-3 A Disturbing Call From A Merciful God I don’t have definitive proof but it would be my educated opinion that the story of Jonah … specifically the part where Jonah is swallowed by a large fish or whale … is one of the most well-known stories in the Bible. Ask anybody who Jonah ...read more

The Gospel. Part 1: The Problem

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Oct 9, 2020

To understand why the gospel is such great news (the very best news, in fact!) we need to understand why the problem that the gospel solves is such bad news.

INTRODUCTION Today we’re starting a series of four talks titled ‘the gospel.’ The word ‘gospel’ means ‘Good News.’ We like good news! People complain about the press and say that the press really prefers bad news to good news. But I think most of us like good news. • Your friends have a ...read more

Lesson #14 [ic3c]: Warning Against Not Entering God’s Rest Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Oct 15, 2020

What determines whether someone who hears the gospel actually enters God’s rest? We do not have to ponder this question because He gives us the answer in John 3:16. [“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”]

Three Widows In Moab Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 17, 2020

As you examine the lives of Naomi, Ruth, and Orpah, you find a picture of all people. Naomi represents a wayward believer; Orpah pictures one who was exposed and yet refused the gospel; Ruth is a picture of grace in salvation.

Three Widows in Moab Ruth 1:8-18 Last week we began our study in the book of Ruth. We discovered that Moab was a place of difficulty and desperation. It is a picture of the world, much like that of Egypt in Scripture. Dwelling in the land of Moab will always result in separation and spiritual ...read more
