The Grieving Of The Lord

Contributed by Terry Laughlin on Oct 9, 2018

The grieving of the Lord has its serious consequences. Christians who have a reverent fear of the Lord do not fall under God’s judgement, like the people we read about in the Genesis flood account or like Eli and King Saul did.

The Grieving of the Lord Consequences to Breaking God’s Heart The world view of God is a somewhere out there Deity, Whom has no feelings toward our lifestyles down here. There is a One true God, there is no other. (Deuteronomy 4:35) He cannot be over thrown, He cannot be bribed, He cannot ...read more

When Mamma Prays Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 10, 2009

The Bible tells us that God closed up Hannah’s womb. Really? Would He do that, or was this the kind of comment where we call something an "act of God?"

Wake Up And Shine

Contributed by Mike Hullah on Jun 16, 2020

This sermon examines 1 Samuel 3:1-20, the story of Samuel and Eli, and gives lessons on, what defined them, as a dying priesthood, and a rising prophet. These lessons can be applied to our Churches, and lives today, which can result in what spiritual impact we will have on today's world.

AWAKE OR SLEEPING 1 Samuel 3:1-20 In our text we see a transition from a Priesthood who had taken God for granted, to a rising Prophet, who would awaken a Nation. From Eli to Samuel. Eli means to ascend or "lofty". There are two ways to look at him, as a Priest he was called to ascend ...read more

The Failed Father Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 17, 2023

When it comes to fatherhood, bad examples from Scripture can be good examples, once you know what a failed father has done wrong. Eli was a bad example. But what did he do wrong, and what can we learn from him so we can build better fathers?

Someone once said that everyone is an example to others - some are GOOD examples, and some are BAD. And, believe it or not, bad examples can be good examples for us. For example, Eli was a “GOOD EXAMPLE” of a bad example of how to be a father. But before we get to Eli’s story (and what we can ...read more

Sermon # 30 - The Blessings Of Obedience Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 10, 2023

Obedience to God and His word has rewards, and disobedience also has its consequences. The experiences of some from the bible will help us learn how we too can be recipients of God’s blessings in our lives.

Bad Choices In The Tabernacle

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Oct 28, 2021

We hear much today about self-proclaimed preachers who seem to care little about the Lord and His Holy Word but seem to care a great deal about their wealth and popularity. Phinehas and Hophni were not so concerned about popularity but they certainly cared about their creature comforts!

Bad Choices In The Tabernacle Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:10-12 “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Sermon # 10 - Pray And Intercede For The Lost Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 2, 2024

We must abide in Christ and those who choose to do otherwise will be cut off. Also the Lord has chosen us so we can lead others into His kingdom. Like Abraham, every believer must also have a burden to pray and intercede for those who are lost without Christ.
