Mary Magdalene

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Sep 1, 2019

Mary Magdalene is another of the many women in the bible who has been shown to have had very strong faith and who served in some capacity of a ministry. Hers was to support the Lord Jesus and his disciples as they traveled the countryside preaching the Good News.

Atonement

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Mar 8, 2016

The Atonement for our sins provided by Jesus on the cross is a once and for all fulfillment of the Old Testament atonement which was temporary. Christ's atonement is pivotal in understanding salvation by grace and faith alone in Jesus Christ.

The cross is the logo of Christianity - the cross was the great intersection of God with humanity! One of the great provisions of the cross is the atonement. Let's read about atonement in Romans 3:21-26 (Please open your Bibles and follow along as I read from God's Holy Word) I was looking online ...read more

Wake Up And Shine

Contributed by Mike Hullah on Jun 16, 2020

This sermon examines 1 Samuel 3:1-20, the story of Samuel and Eli, and gives lessons on, what defined them, as a dying priesthood, and a rising prophet. These lessons can be applied to our Churches, and lives today, which can result in what spiritual impact we will have on today's world.

AWAKE OR SLEEPING 1 Samuel 3:1-20 In our text we see a transition from a Priesthood who had taken God for granted, to a rising Prophet, who would awaken a Nation. From Eli to Samuel. Eli means to ascend or "lofty". There are two ways to look at him, as a Priest he was called to ascend ...read more

Today Is A Good Day To Die

Contributed by Ken Henson on Apr 21, 2019

Almost every time the Bible refers to the Resurrection of Jesus, it refers to our call to follow Him to the cross. Without death there is no resurrection. Jesus bids us "come, and die".

I’ll confess, I’m a Star Trek fan, And there is a species in the series that is very focused on warrior virtues. Any episode where there is a battle, and there seems to be a likelihood of ...read more
