    When we picture Christ, we always picture him as the Son of God who started working AFTER he was born on Christmas. But according to the Bible, Jesus was working long BEFORE he was born on Christmas.

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 27, 2025
     | 162 views

    This last sermon draws it all together and we stand in awe at all that the Lord has done in addressing ALL the consequences of Adam’s sin. Then He has restored what Adam could never have had in full grace and mercy to the sinner. I have loved doing this series and hope you do also.

    MEASURE UPON MEASURE – THE GLORIOUS CONCLUSION – THE RESTORATION OF GOD - Part 17 One more chapter remains, and that is to wrap up all that has gone before. It is advisable to read all that preceded this last conclusion. The whole lot is the wonderful story of redemption and the window on the ...read more

    In what ways does God use suffering in the life of a Christian? Maybe this lesson can help you think about how God may work when you are suffering.

    I would like to follow up on the last sermon that I preached on the problem of evil and where I attempted to show why the unbeliever should not be using the idea of evil as an excuse to reject God. In spite of what the unbeliever may think about God or try to accuse Him of, God has a morally ...read more

     | 1,007 views

    We are consumed by God completely… while our obsession used to be selfishness and self destruction and we were very excited about that, we now pursue knowing God with abandon.

    My wife tells me that I sometimes become nearly obsessed with certain things. I get so focused on something it consumes me. I fall into the pool after staring into it too long. Are you like that? I have a bit of an obsessive, addictive personality. I want it and I want more. I want to learn more. ...read more
