     | 11,923 views

    God chose Mary to birth the Savior of the world. This message looks at Mary's song, her Magnficat, and examines her love of scripture, her love for God, and her humble spirit. Mary calls each of us to magnify God at work in and around us.

    Luke 1:46-55 Mary’s Praise The Christmas story begins with a young girl named Mary. Today we would call her just a teen, an adolescent. Back then, in ancient Israel, she was of marrying age, blooming into a young woman. Who was this Mary? Why was she full of song? And why has every generation ...read more

    The Only Thing That Matters Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jul 6, 2014
     | 5,435 views

    If we try to be justified by keeping the Law, we’ve abandoned grace as our means of salvation. And having been set free, liberated by Christ, what will we do with our freedom? Jesus grants us an opportunity to live and love like never before!

    Introduction: According to news reports, criminal gangs have tried to infiltrate the ranks of Scotland's police force, to obtain information and undermine law enforcement. You can just imagine the awful consequences. Paul was also dealing with infiltrators--in the church--people who insisted ...read more

    "Seeing Jesus In The Feast Of Unleavened Bread” Series

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Nov 6, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,225 views

    We must deal thoroughly with our sin.

    We've looked at Passover. Now we'll look at the Feast of Unleavened Bread. These two feasts are tied together. Passover is on the 14th of Nisan and this feast is on the 15th and lasts 7 days. So they're often blurred together, being called "the eight days of Passover." In Jesus' day, they called ...read more

    "This is a fresh approach to this remarkable encounter between a brother trying to get in a place where Jesus is telling him to quickly get away from!"

    In the Gospel of John, there is perhaps one of the most interesting miracles to have ever taken place in the holy writ. In chapter five of his Gospel is the main miracle of the man who had been sitting at the Pool of Bethesda for thirty-eight long years. Allow our creative imagination the ...read more

    God expects us not only to be 'faithful', but also fruitful!

    Believers who are “M.A.D.” “A Life of Fruitfulness” John 15:1-8 * One of the untruths which have been embraced within the Americanized church is the concept that the redeemed, born-again, and believers in Christ only have to be faithful, not fruitful. IN this age when ...read more

    Excuses, Excuses

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 23, 2023
     | 2,752 views

    Everybody has an excuse for not getting seriously involved with God. And some of those reasons are genuine. But some excuses are just another way of saying “I have more important things to do with my life, don’t bother me.”

    Jesus had been preaching and teaching, healing all kinds of sicknesses and casting out demons, up and down the Sea of Galilee for months. Everywhere he went people gathered, waiting for hours - some just to hear him speak, others hoping for the chance to ask him a question or even just to touch ...read more

    The Church Of Smyrna: Possessing The Wealth Of Heaven (Revelation 2:8-11)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 18, 2023
     | 1,118 views

    Within the city of Smyrna, there existed a struggling Christian community undergoing intense and withering persecution. The Lord Jesus came to them with a word of comfort for their dark days. Even though they were poor, they were, in fact, rich beyond imagination.

    In our look at the seven churches of Asia Minor described in Revelation, Chapters 2 and 3, we come to the second church the Lord Jesus addresses in terms of testimony and steadfastness to the Gospel. This is the church in the city of Smyrna, which was located about 35 miles north of Ephesus. ...read more

    Ruth And Boaz: The Story Unfolds Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 5, 2024
     | 2,458 views

    Ruth represents one of the great redemption stories of the Bible. From cursed outsider, to redeemed. What about us? What about our line in Adam. He was cursed and banished from the garden of Eden. But God had a plan of redemption for all of us.

    My friend has written a book with this title; His story in our story for his glory. That could be the theme for the life of Ruth. Ruth is from the worst family line in the Bible. She is a Moabite cursed to the tenth generation. Ruth places her faith in the God of Israel, and she is about to ...read more

    A sermon for Ascension of the Lord Sunday.

    “Now What Are We Gonna Do?” Acts 1:1-14 In the next verse, which I didn’t read, we are told that at this point the believers were a group of folks numbering about 120. It’s not a huge mass of people. It’s just a little less than the number of people we have worshiping here on any given ...read more

    Do the least-likely and least-lovely around me know that they can come and touch the hem of my Savior’s garment and receive the most magnificent of blessings? Can I keep Him to myself? How do I learn to step out and truly be His hands and voice and heart

    The Hem Of His Garment Matthew 14:34-36 The portion of the Pacific Northwest where we are right now is an idyllic place to live. Surrounded by lush green forests teeming with wildlife and bounded by snow-capped mountains, the valley we live in is suffused with some of the richest soil in the world ...read more

     | 6,377 views

    Comfort is something that we all need from time to time. But where do you look for comfort> Is it to the living God who ave us his word to reassure us that he has all things in his hand and who sends us his Holy Spirit to strengthen and renew us?

    “Comfort, Comfort, my People, says your God.” Do you sometimes feel the need for comfort. Cadbury’s and Lindt make a lot of money out of that feeling don’t they? But when you hear a passage like this does it speak to an inner longing? That sense that you need someone else to ...read more
