Contributed by Lyla Dahl on Apr 21, 2023

This sermon will inform how a scripture in the Word of God has been placed under a "bushel basket," igniting a raging inferno of depravity in our nation and around the world and what we as a Church can do to restore righteousness in our nation and around the world.

- I want to share a thought-provoking riddle and its answer with those who are open to receiving it. - - The riddle goes: "Why not light a lamp and put a bushel basket over it?" The answer is clear - the light would be rendered useless and may cause a destructive fire ("No one after ...read more

Who Do You Say Jesus Is? Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Aug 14, 2014

The rejection of Jesus comes (painfully) from those who represent God (teachers, elders, etc.). This presents us with a challenge: Do we lead people to like us or to worship God? If it's all about Him, then we must be willing to give everything to Him!

Who do you say Jesus is? Mark 8:27-33 Introduction - Jesus is demonstrated in this book as a “servant” -- Key verse: Mark 10:45, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” - IMP: ...read more

Contributed by Brian Bill on Sep 7, 2004

While we can benefit from some of the wisdom that whirls around us, to be truly wise we need the wisdom that comes from above.

The 12 Apostles: James Son Of Zebedee

Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 5, 2015

James had character flaws like being brash, bragging who'd be the greatest, wanting to call down fire on people and asking to sit on a throne next to Jesus. But he became an Apostle of love and became the first apostle to be martyred.

The Great High Priest

Contributed by Lee Henry on Aug 13, 2006

The Christian’s High Priest is better than the high priest under the Law of Moses because he is both God and Human so that we can draw near to the throne of Grace with confidence for help in time of need.

The Great High Priest Heb. 4:14-16 The theme of the book of Hebrews can be phrased in one word . . . BETTER. The book is one comparison after another of Christ and the things the Jews revered. For instance, in 1:4-7, Jesus is declared to be better than the angels. In 3:1-6, Jesus as a son is ...read more
