  • What Now?

    Contributed by Delray Lentz on Nov 15, 2023
     | 747 views

    Did you read something new? Familiar passage with new eyes? I hope you did?

    On the Sunday following Resurrection Sunday, I expressed my concern of how we’ve had this climactic week, then we go back to “business as usual”. I didn’t realize until this week, that we see this very thing in Acts. Our key passage today will be in Acts 2:1-4, but I want us to begin in Acts ...read more

  • A United Ministry (Numbers 8)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Nov 10, 2024
     | 350 views

    Unlike our churches, the Levites were united in ministry. What can we learn from Numbers 8?

    Did the menorah picture the tree of life and a light to the nations? What can we learn from the ordination of the Levites? How does that compare to elders and deacons? Let’s look at Numbers 8. Is it significant that the lampstand is a unit, but the seven churches of Revelation are individual ...read more

    "Am I my brother's keeper?" (Genesis 4:9).

    CAIN AND ABEL. Genesis 4:2-15. The acceptance of Abel’s offering as opposed to Cain’s is often explained in terms of THE NATURE OF THE SACRIFICE. We are reminded that ‘almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood, there is no remission’ (cf. Hebrews 9:22). ...read more

  • Rebuke Hirelings

    Contributed by Nettie J Pennington on May 27, 2023
     | 1,049 views

    This message aims to proclaim that hirelings are not true shepherds.

    Key Scripture: "The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it" (John 10:12, NIV). PRAYER – Father God, we humble ourselves and come once again thanking ...read more

  • Eternity And Future Series

    Contributed by Grant Adams on May 7, 2024
     | 805 views

    Death and what then? Will you merely cease to exist? Is there another life awaiting us?

    It is a major fact of the future of each person. Death and what then? Will you merely cease to exist? Is there another life awaiting us? Some say it is irrelevant. For many, it is disturbing to discuss it. Others feel what is done here and now is all there is to it. But the Bible makes it clear ...read more

     | 239 views

    This sermon teaches that our faith allows us to genuinely love the unseen Christ, resulting in an inexpressible and glorified joy that transcends our circumstances and serves as a foretaste of heaven.

    Introduction: The World's Motto The world lives by a simple motto: "Seeing is believing." We are creatures of the senses. We trust what we can see, what we can touch, what we can measure. We demand evidence, proof, and personal experience. To love someone, you must know them, see ...read more

  • Presenting Eyes And Ears: Vantage Point From The Hiding Place Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 7, 2001
    based on 44 ratings
     | 7,401 views

    When we are overwhelmed, in our panic we do not see what is before us, nor can we hear any word of counsel; someone -- innocent, devoted to us -- needs to create a stable point, a hiding place for us. Ultimately that is what Jesus Christ in His cross does.

    We have abilities that we barely even use. Our senses are capable of doing much more than we allow them to do. I want to try a short experiment with you. I want to test your eyes and your ears. First, I am going to give you thirty seconds to look around this room and take it all in. Many of ...read more
