Contributed by Sean Harder on Dec 4, 2009

God saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that we continually had evil intentions. It that your perception of us humans?

Is The Lord Really King Of Your Life?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 17, 2021

A young boy faithfully attended Sunday school. He had been taught by the same teacher for a number of years. She had a way of telling stories, and she would always routinely end her stories by saying, "And the moral of the story is…"

Every Sunday she would tell a Bible story and say, “And the moral of the story is…” As the young boy began to grow older, he was promoted to another class. He went home after church and at the dinner table his dad said, “Son, how do you like your new teacher?” The young boy replied, "She ...read more

Be Strong, Be Fearless, And Build Series

Contributed by Larry Turner on Aug 5, 2016

God had to reprimand his people for not building his house. Their eyes were on their own selfish desire. This message is for a church in decline.

Last week we examined the life of Solomon. We discovered that he asked God for wisdom to govern his people but chose not to use it. So we read these sad words concerning the nation of Israel. 1 Kings 11:9-13 “The Lord was very angry with Solomon, for his heart had turned away from the Lord, ...read more

The Dignity Of The King Vs. The Depravity Of Humanity

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 21, 2022

John 18:12-36 continues the story of Jesus' journey towards the cross as He faced His enemies and an illegal trial based on false charges. What they didn't know was that Jesus was in control and that this was part of the redemptive plan (1 Corinthians 2:7-8).

The Lord Jesus had been arrested while in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:47-56; Mark 14:43-52; Luke 22:47-53; John 18:1-11). He was being hauled off to an illegal trial on false charges. This is the beginning of an obvious plot using any means possible by the Pharisees and the other ...read more

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 9, 2001

Funeral message for Mrs. Betty Parker, a member of our church who had known for some time that she would die, and who had carefully thought through her relationships, her responsibilities, and her faith.

FINISHING TOUCHES (Philippians 1:3-11) I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work among you will bring it to completion by the day of Jesus Christ. Some tasks are never finished.

The Willow Tree

Contributed by Richard Deem on Nov 2, 2006

All hope was gone. They went from their precious promised land to the heathen land of Babylon (modern day Iraq). They had been warned repeatedly by God through His prophets, yet they had turned a deaf ear!

"By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. 2We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. 3For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of ...read more

Acts 2:41 Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. 42 ¶ And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders ...read more

Friends In High Places

Contributed by David Lansdown on Dec 1, 2002

People are looking to the spiritual to find ‘friends in high places’. Elisha had ‘friends in high places’. I would like us to consider those that Elisha had as his ‘friends in high places’ – those known as angels.

FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES 2 Kings 6:8-23 INTRODUCTION Just a week or two ago I was talking to some friends, who would not by any stretch of the imagination be considered people of high influence, and yet during that conversation I was told of a possible job prospect.

Touching The Untouchable

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Feb 10, 2003

The leper in this miracle story obviously had a problem and needed a solution. At the end of the story we see the evidence of his cure as he was able to become a member of the crowd from which he had formerly been an outcast.

TOUCHING THE UNTOUCHABLE Text: Mark 1:40-45 I will never forget a story that I had to read in College. It was called Bartelby The Scrivenor, and it was written by Herman Melville. In that story, through the eyes of the characters, we got to see a man who was a mystery simply because no one ...read more
