The Coming Of The Son Of Man

Contributed by James Dina on Sep 17, 2022

A great event that has never been witnessed before on earth, an event that will occur simultaneously in all countries and kingdoms of the world, will be a world order that can't be reversed by any earthly policy nor heavenly plea. Are you prepared?

THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN " Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: ...read more

Jacob-Glimpses Of His Twilight Years Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on May 18, 2022

The next to last chapters of Jacob's life are like a quiet period between his arrival in Hebron and his final earthly journey to Egypt. He endured several things but there is no record he ever lost his faith.

Introduction: After Jacob and his household returned to Hebron (Gen. 35:27), he seemed to settle down to a life of farming and ranching. Isaac, his father, had died; he was at peace with his brother Esau; and it seemed all would be going well for him in his twilight years. But several things were ...read more

The Lord’s Supper (Luke, Part 11) Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Apr 4, 2022

The communion, the covenant, the denial, the sifting, the charge, all of these things pointed to Jesus fulfilling His ultimate purpose (to die for us), and the focus of the disciples was still on earthly things. Will we see the lesson Jesus was teaching and apply it to our lives?

The Lord’s Supper (Luke, Part 11) Luke 22:1-38 Introduction / Recap - Last week, we discussed the teachings of Jesus surrounding His return - Bottom line: We DO NOT fear His return, but we can’t misunderstand it either -- We should know the signs behind His coming, and be ready to explain ...read more

Obtaining Wisdom From Above

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Sep 25, 2021

What fuels a person to learn more about the truth concerning God and how one puts His righteous decrees into practice are the fruits by which one can discern what kind of wisdom one has obtained, earthly or heavenly!

Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Jun 14, 2025

Happy Father’s Day and Blessed Trinity Sunday, church! Today, we stand at a sacred intersection—celebrating both our earthly fathers and our heavenly One, as well as recognizing the mystery of God revealed as Father, Son, and Spirit.

They Get It from Their Father ““I am telling you these things to keep you from stumbling away from the path. The tribal leaders will force you out of their gathering houses.

Turn And Trust In God

Contributed by Meshak Dayanand on Apr 28, 2020

The technologies and the science were diverting our trust from God to this man-made lifeless stuff. Today  I have entitled my sermon as Turn and trust in God alone. Today's message theme or purpose is that you turn from these idols to the Living God.

Greetings to you in the sweet name of Lord Jesus Christ. I consider it my great privilege to share the Word of God with you. We are going through one of the toughest situations in human history.

Daniel’s Friends: "But If Not—“

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Oct 8, 2020

Suppose your employer or ruler demanded you worship an image or idol, and would be put to death if you refused? That happened to Daniel's three friends, who were willing to die for their faith before ever bowing down to any other god besides the God of Israel.

Daniel’s friends: “But if not—“ Introduction: Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon during Daniel’s youth, certainly did not lack a sense of ego or self-importance. In chapter 2, he made an impossible demand on Babylon’s wise men, instructing them to repeat the king’s dream and what it meant or else ...read more

The Handwriting On The Wall Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 4, 2021

Belshazzar arrogantly tested the Lord by converting the use of the most holy vessels from God's temple into vessels for the most unholy of purposes--worshiping idols and drunken immorality. He thus discovered a recipe for spiritual disaster. Learn from him how to avoid spiritual disaster!

This morning, we have the privilege of consider the actual historical and Scriptural event that resulted in our proverbial saying, “And I saw the handwriting on the wall.” Obviously, the biblical story has made such an impression on people of our culture that 2600 hundred years later we still use ...read more

6 A Fully Known Overcomer Series

Contributed by Kent Kessler on May 30, 2025

Living a fake life has its consequences, and one is leading other people astray. Could we have created a deity of Jesus--an idol only of Jesus, but actually do not know the real Jesus? Counterfeit Jesus, faith, and gospels have been around since the resurrection.

I read this story about a Chinese boy who wanted to learn about jade so he went to study with a talented old teacher. This gentle man put a piece of the precious stone into his hand and told him to hold it tight. Then he began to talk of philosophy, men, women, the sun and almost everything under ...read more

"The Day That God Dropped His Jaw!"

Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Jun 14, 2004

If you had followed Jesus around during his earthly walk, each day I am sure that you would have had a reason to marvel over and over again. On this occasion we read that Jesus marveled at the faith of the centurion.
