    Jesus Greets You Or Easter In Revelation!

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Apr 22, 2019
     | 2,901 views

    Jesus rose the victor on the third day, ascended to heaven forty days later, and is waiting to return. He has sent a message to us in the interim. Think of it as an Easter card!

Thomas Hughes wrote a letter to his wife, sealed it in a ginger ale bottle, and tossed it into the English Channel. He died two days later fighting in France. Fast forward to 1999 when ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Aug 1, 2018
     | 3,830 views

    Jesus revealed that those who were committed to Him should expect difficulty and persecution for their faith. We tend to think He referred to others, but it is applicable to believers everywhere.

    Despised for the Gospel Mark 13: 9-13 As we continue to discuss the Olivet Discourse, we are reminded that Jesus had warned of calamities the world would face as the end drew near. There would be many false prophets seeking to deceive, much fighting and war among nations, earthquakes, famine, and ...read more

    I think most of us, especially those of us who went to school when they actually taught these little stories, remember the story of the Boy who Cried Wolf.

    Today we dig into the book of Revelation, one of my favorite books in the whole Bible, though I think I probably say that about every book in the Bible.

    Today we dig into the book of Revelation, one of my favorite books in the whole Bible, though I think I probably say that about every book in the Bible.

    Everyone Abandons Jesus. It’s really remarkable when you think about … just how many people abandoned Jesus at His greatest time of need.

    At the end of today’s service, I’ll be offering you an opportunity to respond to Christ. In fact, some of you may want to grab your worship guide right now and find the communication card. There, you’ll find an opportunity to be a part of next Sunday’s baptism service. Place your name there and ...read more

    Leper Healed; His Response Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 10, 2017
     | 15,485 views

    Leprosy was believed to be God’s chastisement for sins that were committed by the person. That type of thinking removed compassion and sympathy for the leper. They were likely to be stoned, if they got too close.

    Harmony of the Gospels -AD 27- Galilee Title: Leper Healed; His Response (Leviticus 13:44) Matthew 8:1-4, Mark 1:40-45, Luke 5:12-16 Whenever Jesus came into contact with disease or misery, He was moved by compassion to remove it by his touch, His presence, or His word. This was part of His ...read more

    Jesus Calms The Storm

    Contributed by Russell Pettus on Jun 26, 2018
     | 30,871 views

    Jesus calming the storm is moving the disciples to a decision of who they think Jesus is. They know him as a rabbi and the Messiah but the only one who can calm the sea is God.

    Jesus Calms the Storm Mark 4:35-41 Lectionary B Proper 7. Introduction One of my favorite commercials of late has been the “Mayhem” commercials by Allstate. Mayhem is everywhere.

    What To Pray For Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,548 views

    Many think that as older they get into Christianity now God will do everything before even they have been asked. Instead of increasing in prayer life, we decrease slowly.

    This is one of the very vast subjects in the Bible. To sum it up in 30-40 mins. is like an injustice to the topic. Many think that as older they get into Christianity now God will do everything before even they have been asked. Instead of increasing in prayer life, we decrease slowly. What was the ...read more

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 19, 2020
     | 2,500 views

    At the time when we are most tempted to hunker down and hoard our resources for ourselves, I think the Lord is calling us to be generous with our churches and charitable institutions.

    Tuesday of the 2nd Week in Easter 2020 The disciple Joseph Bar-nabas is one of the key players in the Acts of the Apostles. As the reading tells us, Joseph was given the name “Barnabas” by the leaders of the first church, the church of Jerusalem. Why? I had an experience when I was principal of a ...read more

    The Holy Spirit & Christmas

    Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 12, 2023
     | 2,173 views

    At Christmas, we think about the shepherds, the Magi, the trip of Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem, and the murderous plots of King Herod, but we overlook all HE, the Holy Spirit, does.

     | 1,775 views

    We might think Jesus is the "go along to get along" Savior, but He is not. He challenges us to overturn the sins of our lives and nation.

    The end time is near. It is as close as your last breath. The day you die is the end of time for you. Jesus is coming back soon. It is sooner than people think.

    TEXT: Revelation 3:3 "Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near."

    Evangelism As A Lifestyle Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 15, 2025
     | 736 views

    Evangelism is not just an event or a scheduled outreach; it is a lifestyle. Many believers think of evangelism as something they do occasionally, but God’s desire is that it becomes part of our daily lives.

    EVANGELISM AS A LIFESTYLE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 "For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more...

    I think for the Church to really have Jesus reign and the Spirit to move in the services we need to take the clock off the walls, leave the cell phones and watches in the car.
