    What two things do Christians confess? Let’s look at what Jesus said when He appeared to His disciples in John 20:19-31.

    Do You Want Earthly Or Heavenly Treasures?

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Sep 21, 2021
     | 1,982 views

    Did Jesus say that we receive Earthly treasures by following Him? The answer is no. We do receive treasures in Heaven. You will want to look at my Hebraic Analysis of Mark 10:28-31 to see why the Greek and English translation of verse 30 may not be exactly what Jesus said.

    Do you want Earthly or Heavenly Treasures? Mark 10:28-31 Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz 28 Peter began to say to Him, "Behold, we have left everything and followed You." 29 Jesus said, "Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father ...read more

    Can We Really Trust The Bible? Series

    Contributed by Keith Miller on Jul 6, 2006
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,129 views

    This sermon addresses the historicity, dependability, and reliability of the Bible. This sermon also addresses the legitimacy of Dan Brown’s claim that Constantine helped deify Jesus.

    Can We Really Trust What the Bible Says About Jesus? 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Introduction I would like to read you a quote from Dan Brown’s book, The Da Vinci Code, about the Bible and then take the rest of our time to tell you the story of the Bible we read today. “The Bible did not arrive by fax from ...read more

    The Irreducible Cross

    Contributed by Bill Sullivan on Mar 23, 2005
    based on 19 ratings
     | 3,256 views

    As much as our culture, or we, might try, to remove it as a barrier...as much as the world might like to make it into only a symbol, and rob it of its eternal meaning, the cross is irreducible. It’s irreducible in time. It’s irreducible in eternity.

    The Irreducible Cross TCF Good Friday sermon March 25, 2005 I found this quote a few weeks ago in an article on a very popular TV preacher. This guy sells tickets to his national tour, and fills 15-20,000-seat arenas with his positive message. In this quote, he describes his own church, ...read more

    Easter an empty tomb not empty promises It’s Easter Sunday evening on the 16th April 2017, but I want you to imagine it’s very early on the first Easter Sunday Morning, nearly 2000 years ago.

    When God Asks For Your Isaac Series

    based on 10 ratings
     | 85,727 views

    God asked Abraham to lay down his Isaac. His story is an incredible picture of the Cross and how God loved us enough to surrender His Son, Jesus, for our sin. Do we love Him enough to surrender our Isaac today?

    It has been said that Christians are like tea bags……they always do best when they get in hot water. In Genesis chapter 22, we find Abraham in the hottest water of his life as God tries his faith. The Bible teaches three key truths about trials in the life of a believer: 1) Trials come to ...read more

    What Love Is

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Jul 22, 2018
     | 6,394 views

    The heart of the gospel is love - God's love expressed through the willing sacrifice of Jesus on the cross four our sins. When embraced, this leads to us living lives of love.

    July 22, 2018 Sermon - What Love is - 1 John 3:11-24 There’s a dual purpose to today’s service, and also to my message today. Today we’re continuing in our study of the Letter of 1st John, and it has a lot to say about relationships and about love. And of course the main reason we gather ...read more

    Lessons For Modern-Day Sowers Of The Word

    Contributed by Ray Pritchard on Jul 3, 2007
    based on 15 ratings
     | 10,455 views

    Most messages on this parable discuss it from the standpoint of the four soils. I want to look at it in terms of what it teaches us about doing ministry today. I find at least eight principles that both challenge and encourage us.

    Lessons for Modern-Day Sowers of the Word Matthew 13:1-9; 18-23 The last few days I have been meditating on the famous parable of the seed and the sower. It is obviously important because is found in three different places in the gospels (with Jesus’ explanation in parenthesis): Matthew 13:3-9 ...read more
