Who Is This Guy? Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 9, 2021

A Gracious Call To A Social Outcast (Mark 2:13-17) Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 25, 2021

So many people today feel like they exist more than they live, thinking that everything in this world is against them and that no one cares. Matthew, the tax collector, is just such a case. It turned out that Jesus had a plan for him, and for you as well.

Jesus' compassion for people is evident as we progress through this Gospel. This display of Divine love is recorded by Matthew and Luke as well. The Lord Jesus is not the exclusive property of any group or man- made religious system. Nobody can mold Him into one particular behavior to suit ...read more

Two Women, Two Testimonies, One Glorious Lord Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 9, 2021

Mark 5:21-43 tells of the healing of two women who received new lives when it seemed all was lost. Each one was a living testimony of the miracle-working power of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Thus far, He has shown HIs power over disease (1:29-31, 34, 40-45; 2:1-12; 3:16), over demons (1:23-28, 34; 5:1-20), and over the forces of nature (4:35-41).

We all grow as disciples of Jesus Christ, enlarging our understanding of the church and the faith. And then maybe we can overcome Babel by speaking one in Christ on this Pentecost Sunday.

This text is offered as an alternative First Reading for the Day of Pentecost, with the instructions that if it is chosen, then Acts 2:1-21 gets used as the Second Reading.

The Anger Of The Lord Series

Contributed by Paul Dayao on Sep 19, 2025

This sermon confronts the difficult reality of God's righteous anger against sin and the resulting devastation that leads to a raw, desperate plea for Him to see the suffering of His people.

Introduction In the first chapter of this somber book, we saw the city of Jerusalem sitting solitary, like a weeping widow abandoned by all her friends. The prophet described her pain from the outside, looking in. But here, in chapter two, the focus shifts dramatically. The lens zooms past the ...read more

Contributed by Barry Tallis on May 3, 2025

This sermon addresses spiritual depletion and teaches believers how to be refilled with the Holy Spirit through surrender rather than striving, emphasizing the power that comes when divine presence is prioritized over performance.

Jesus: Your Miracle, Your Move – A Philosophical Reflection

Contributed by Jason Martin on Apr 6, 2025

What does it mean to see? Is sight merely the ability of the eyes to perceive light, or is it something deeper—an awareness, an understanding of truth, reality, and purpose? What do we do when we cannot perceive the truth?

Blinded By Seeing - Israel's Missing Messiah

Contributed by Graham Kettle on Feb 22, 2024

Before Jesus' time, rabbis separated miracles into two categories, those anyone empowered by the Holy Spirit could perform and miracles called ‘messianic miracles’ which only the Messiah could perform . Jesus demonstrated He was Messiah by the Sanhedrin's theology and teaching.

I Need You To Touch Me!

Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 16, 2024

And behold, a leper came to him and knelt before him, saying, ‘Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.’ And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, ‘I will; be clean.’ And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.” ...read more

Blessings And Curses

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 8, 2024

Jesus, true God and true man, took on the curse of the cross and the grace He won saves you from the curse of the Law. Don’t try to add on to your faith by the Law, because you’ll just bring the curse of the Law back on yourselves.

Friday of the 27th week in Course 2024 We should begin any homily on the Letter to the Galatians with a reminder that this church in Asia Minor was in a kind of turmoil because of some itinerant Jewish Christian preachers.
