    The Testimony Of An Empty Tomb

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Mar 28, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 19,443 views

    There is a tomb in a distant land with silent walls as well. If that tomb could speak to us what would it say? What would it tell us of the terrible – tragic – thrillingly triumphant events that transpired there some two thousand years ago?

    TITLE: THE TESTIMONY OF AN EMPTY TOMB SCRIPTURE: ST. LUKE 24:1-12 Have you ever stood and just looked at an old empty house in a neighborhood? Perhaps the doors stand ajar, sagging on hinges, loosened by the ravages of weather and time. Have you noticed the vacant stare of glassless windows? If ...read more

    Do You Know Him?

     | 19,996 views

    More of an exhortation type proclamation on who Jesus is. The better we understand Him, the more we will be able to trust Him, and the more we will be able to surrender to Him.

    As Christians, we are always energized when we see others coming to Christ and surrendering their own wills over to His will for them. But as glorious of a thing as that is, it is also the main reason why more people do not come to Christ: Because they would have to surrender their own wills to ...read more

     | 1,834 views

    This sermon explores the comforting assurance of God's protection, His role as our refuge, and His unwavering promises amidst life's uncertainties, as depicted in Psalm 91.

    Good morning, beloved. It's a joy to gather with you today, our hearts intertwined by the common thread of faith, our spirits united in the love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As we gather in His name, let's pause for a moment, allowing the clamor of the world to fade into the ...read more

    The Book Of Lamentations – Part 17 – How Can God Be Kind And Compassionate When He Allows Awful Suffering, Misery And Death? - Chapter 3:21-22 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 4, 2025
     | 246 views

    Jeremiah speaks of the LORD’S loving kindness and compassions yet all around is misery and suffering and death, even cannibalism, because of the Babylonian slaughter. How can this possibly be reconciled? Can abject suffering and death and a God of love be put together? Recall is important!

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 17 – HOW CAN GOD BE KIND AND COMPASSIONATE WHEN HE ALLOWS AWFUL SUFFERING, MISERY AND DEATH? - CHAPTER 3:21-22 We continue with Chapter 3, full of short verses and to the point. These are the laments of a defeated and ravished people. [19]. WITHOUT RECALL THERE ...read more

    Where Is God?

    Contributed by John Covell on Oct 17, 2001
    based on 44 ratings
     | 6,015 views

    God says we need him and, even though we might not often think of it in these terms, we wish we didn’t need God. We don’t want to need God.

    A few weeks ago, I was given a list of 75 questions asked by our elementary kids about God. One of them was, “Where is God?” A few astronauts have said that there must not be a God because they’ve been out in space, and they didn’t see him there. Some say God’s in the earth, he’s in the rocks, he’s ...read more

    based on 54 ratings
     | 53,716 views

    It’s one thing to know God’s will; it’s another to do it. God wants us to be pure, to love others, and He longs to have our lives attract others to the life-changing message of the gospel.

    Doing God’s Will A wealthy man went up to his pastor and said, “I want you and your wife to take a three-month trip to the Holy Land at my expense. When you come back I’ll have a surprise for you.” Three months later they returned home and discovered that this man had built a beautiful new ...read more

    As you enter into a new year you’re probably thinking of some resolutions you’d like to make. Along with that are probably the thoughts of all the resolutions you’ve broken. This message challenges us to think about what God’s resolution is for us!

    GOD’S RESOLUTION Ephesians 1:3-10; Genesis 17:7-8; Exodus 6:7 READ AT BEGINNING OF SERVICE: Ephesians 1:3-10 (NIV) 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4 For he chose us in him before the ...read more

    God's Assassin Series

     | 8,033 views

    After a short story based on Judges 3 to introduce the text, this sermon notes how God uses unexpected leaders and how God's leaders overturn idols.

    In an attempt to capture some of the drama of this passage, I want to attempt something different as an introduction to the text. I hope you’ll follow along in your Bibles when I get to the meat of the sermon, but I thought I’d introduce the sermon by reading a short story I’ve ...read more

    Remembering God’s past faithfulness fuels our present hope and prayer, empowering us to trust Him and expect His power in today’s challenges.

    Some nights feel noisier than others. The worries keep whispering, the clock keeps ticking, and our hearts keep wondering if morning will ever come. Have you been there? You grab your phone, scroll a few old photos, and a smile slips in where sighs used to sit. Memory does that. Memory can be a ...read more

    To explore the feelings of anger towards God, understanding its roots and transforming it into a deeper faith and hope.

    Good morning, Church family! Today, we're going to dig deep into a topic that many of us may feel uncomfortable discussing - feeling angry at God. Yes, it's true. Even the most devout among us can sometimes struggle with these feelings, especially when life seems to be hurling one curveball after ...read more

    Good morning, church family! Picture this: You're going about your normal day, minding your own business, when suddenly you're confronted by a divine messenger with an enormous task.

    Unless we understand the sovereignty of God, we can’t fully trust Him. This sermon takes an indepth look at the plan of God and His purpose for each of our lives.

    The Sovereignty of God Note: This message builds on Part 1 (Spiritual Warfare). I feel it is important to read Spiritual Warfare first in order to understand the perspective of this message. Today there is a growing departure from the historic Christian doctrine. A tragic product of this ...read more

    (2 Of 4) God’s Open Courtroom Series

    Daniel’s prophecy time-stamps heaven’s public vindication of Calvary, assuring believers that Christ’s finished work secures eternal acceptance and unshakable hope.

    Opening Scene – “If It Is Finished, What Is Jesus Doing Now?” The very last word Jesus spoke on the cross was a single, triumphant cry: > “It is finished!” (John 19:30) Every Christian heart thrills to those words. Nothing can be added to what Jesus accomplished that day. Sin’s penalty was ...read more
