    Mary, Jesus First Disciple

    Contributed by Bill Sullivan on Dec 8, 2008
    based on 14 ratings
     | 11,513 views

    We often minimize the importance and impact of Mary, the mother of Jesus, because of fear that honoring and learning from her will lead to idolization, yet we can learn much from this pivotal Biblical figure.

    Mary – Jesus’ First Disciple TCF Sermon December 7, 2008 Mark Lowry, the Christian singer and comedian who wrote the song we just heard, observed that the silence of Jesus’ mother Mary at the cross always amazed him. If he were being crucified in the middle of town, Lowry says, his mother would ...read more

    The Scarecrow And The Pelican – Very Apt Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 2, 2022
     | 2,848 views

    The message begins with the insanity of idolatry. Idols are no more than scarecrows in a cucumber field. In great distress David resembled a pelican in the wilderness. Applications are drawn from these two objects to Christian living and personal affliction.

    THE SCARECROW AND THE PELICAN – VERY APT PART 1 - A SCARECROW IN A CUCUMBER FIELD {{Jeremiah 10:1-5 Hear the word which the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel.

    From The Unknown To The Known God

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Nov 15, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 161 views

    Believers are to engage an idol-filled modern culture with the same wisdom, compassion, and courageous clarity Paul displayed in Athens—understanding people’s longings, building bridges to the truth, and faithfully proclaiming the risen Christ!

    How do we, as Christ’s ambassadors, engage a modern culture with wisdom, courage, and gentleness—so that the gospel is not just another opinion in the noise, but a message carried on “beautiful feet” bringing good news? Everywhere we look, the signs of moral fracture are ...read more

    When the glory is gone and you find yourself in a dark place, yes, mourn, but don’t stop there. Repent—turn from your idols to Christ. Then hope—look forward to your restoration.

     | 6,613 views

    Let us now examine the most Biblically undefined office, the Pastor. This office over many years of church history has been run down, despised, overlooked, traditionalized, glorified, idolized, and even cherished, but always misunderstood.

    Pastors “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers.” Ephesians 4:11 Let us now ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 19, 2025
     | 299 views

    We take a look at the combination of Ephraim and Judah in these prophetic scriptures – their separate identity, and their amalgamation into Israel. Israel has a glorious future as God’s earthly people but there are movements that would try to destroy that.

    THE RESTORATION OF ISRAEL – JEREMIAH – PART 8 – Chapter 33:14 – THE SALVATION OF ALL ISRAEL – SOME PEOPLE DENY THEIR FUTURE! WE ARE NOW COMING TO A VERY IMPORTANT SECTION THAT IS COMPREHENSIVE IN ITS SCOPE, AND ONE WE WILL CONSIDER CAREFULLY. The commentary in examining the verses is longer than ...read more

    Introduction Of The Servant Series

    based on 124 ratings
     | 12,867 views

    There are 5 Servant Songs (some say 4--but I’m using 5). This sermon serves as an introduction of the series, and it serves as an introduction of Christ’s earthly ministry.

If you recognize anything herein that I need to give credit for; please advise.) Sunday, January 18, 2004 Title: Bruised Reeds and Smoking ...read more

    In the previous chapter Paul’s focus of attention has been on earthly, physical experiences in the gospel. In order to avoid exalting himself he describes these experiences in the third person.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: To seek to earn, merit, or purchase salvation is to insult the Giver. Imagine yourself invited to a banquet in the White House by the president of the United States. You are seated at a table that is filled with the choist foods. Every effort is made to give you a most ...read more

    Many people including Christians, too often focus on the manger, the stable, and many of the other earthly surroundings of the birth of Christ but miss the truths and purposes of God becoming man.

    The preaching of the good news of the kingdom was multi-faceted. It included mercy on people’s earthly needs, but it did not settle there. The real focus is the good news of the Kingdom of God.

    Focus on the Kingdom Luke 4:42-44 Jesus has been doing a lot of ministry. Think about a quick outline of what He has done in Capernaum. • He has been teaching in synagogues • He has been driving out demons • He has been healing the sick We like to think that people were moved by His compassion ...read more
