    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 6, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,679 views

    Many in Paul's day feared those believers who died prior to Christ's return for the church would be forsaken and left within the grave. The apostle offered words of comfort and assurance regarding all the saved and their hope for the future.

    The Reality of the Rapture 1 Thessalonians 4: 13-18 Today, we have come to the most recognized passage in 1st Thessalonians, and one of the most familiar passages in all of Scripture. It is a passage that is often read at funerals because of the comfort it affords to the families who have lost ...read more

    Sardis: Socially Active But Spiritually Dead

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 3, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,852 views

    Sardis was the fifth church Jesus addressed in the Revelation. While the letter was shorter than the others, this one was the most severe. Apparently, Sardis has assimilated into the culture - with little difference known between the church and the world.

    Sardis: Socially Active but Spiritually Dead Revelation 3: 1-6 As we continue to examine the churches to whom John sent letters, we come to the fifth – the church at Sardis. Of the seven, the message to Sardis was the most severe. They were content to rely on prior works and a reputation from the ...read more

    Hate Crimes

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Feb 10, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,364 views

    Jesus believed in hate crimes, because God knows the heart. Jesus urges us to resolve our murderous thoughts, make it right when we can, and settle out of court, all so that a watching world will take note of how Christian brothers and sisters get along.

    Matthew 5:21-26 Hate Crimes The FBI defines a hate crime as a “criminal offense against a person or property, motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity.” A hate crime is not the same as hate ...read more

    In ancient Mediterranean world feuding marked the social landscape of the first-century. Being born into a family, a person inherited a set of friends and enemies. The scenario of continued/mutual presence of weeds/wheat left alone until harvest-time mentions the man’s enemy without explanation.

    The Wheat and Tares Matthew 13:24-30 What can we learn from this Parable/Story of Jesus? We must be Perceptive vv.24-28 We have an enemy: Satan His one goal is to oppose God, the people of God and the things of God with all his might. He is powerful Jude 9; James 4:7 He has ...read more

    The practical side of these 20 verses, is they take the believer into a deeper walk with Jesus, but also Paul is getting believers ready to go deeper into their marriages, and other relational affairs.

    Who has influenced your life? Would you agree that we are in need of those who can and do make a significant impact on others for the cause of Christ? Our current society needs those of influence.

    The Steps of a Good Man 1 Thessalonians 2: 1-3 As we consider the social climate of our modern society, we would have to agree that we stand in desperate need of leadership. Things have certainly changed in recent years, and much of that change has not been for the better. There seems to be a ...read more

     | 20,465 views

    The number one priority of a church is to welcome, nurture, and concentrate on the presence of the living God being active among us. After we get that right everything else will flow out of it: evangelism, bible teaching and preaching, outreach etc.

    Jesus in the House Text: Mark 2:1-12 1. When Jesus is in the house stuff happens 2. When Jesus is in the house people still need to be brought to Him. 3.

     | 7,555 views

    That’s what happens when we believe in, and trust, and accept Christ. Every need of life, of nourishment, and of growth is met. Nothing is left out or lacking. This doesn’t mean that the person will never again hunger after righteousness. Because a pe

    READ the whole passage. I read verse 36 and have to wonder how many people today would be the same way. If Jesus Christ walked into this sanctuary right now and told us who He was, would we believe or would we require a sign. It makes me wonder how many people REALLY believe that Jesus is a real ...read more

    How do we treat those who are suffering? This sermon is trying to answer that question from the life and experience of Job.

    Love does no harm The three thematics that run through Job 1) Retributional Theology 2) Suffering is Divine Chastening – Job, God is going to teach you something important through this 3) Suffering is only temporary – Job you have lost perspective – in the end – everything will be ok.

    Fear Frustration Faith

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Aug 28, 2019
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,639 views

    Fear. Frustration. Faith. We all have them and each is related. While faith can be the solution to fear and frustration, it can also be the source of fear and frustration. How can faith be both the solution and the source? That’s what the account of Abraham leads us to consider.

    What are you afraid of? What is it that frustrates you? Maybe your fears come from the “what ifs” in life, what if this happens or that happens. Maybe they are the fears of what other people think of you or the fear of failure. Maybe it’s the fear of things from the past, things that you can’t ...read more
