    This is an Easter message using the Text from Luke 24 about Jesus’ encounter with the two disciples "On the Road to Emmaus."

    On the Road to Emmaus --Luke 24:13-35 I relate well to the story of “The Walk to Emmaus.” On Saturday, May 9, 1992, I ran the 12 K or 7.46 mile Arts Fest Run from Henderson, Kentucky, to downtown Evansville, Indiana, in a time of 56:56.38.

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on Apr 26, 2016
     | 6,424 views

    Jesus' encounter with the Gerasene demoniac is a terrifying scene. This sermon applies the circumstances of the demoniac's transformation to contemporary individuals and even groups.

    We began the message series last week with a look at the Apostle Peter’s transformation from failure to faith. I used the line “transformation can be a terrifying thing,” because in one transformative moment, Peter went from faith to failure while walking on the water. In a ...read more

    This sermon describes what occurs when God’s people are revived.

    From time to time we need a fresh touch from God. We need a revival of our hearts. Our hearts can drift away from God. Our hearts can grow cold.

    How We Got The Koran And How We Got The Bible Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Aug 14, 2015
     | 3,794 views

    Text transmission is a critical part of our faith. We must be assured we have heard from God. Here is a comparison of the two processes that brought forth the 2 Holy Books of our faiths.

    Lesson 9, Which Comes First? Is it a full-blown religion, or a Book, that comes first from God? Strange question, perhaps, but important, I think. Possible answer one: In Israel, it was the religion. That is, the encounter. For many hundreds of years, there was no full book in Israel. But the ...read more

    Like David in the OT, the Christian will face the opposition of Satan, and is called to go out on a limb for God.

    We all know well the story of David and Goliath; it’s one we grew up with from Sunday School. It’s a story which catches a popular vein. It’s the story of the underdog winning, winning against the seeming odds. We probably all have some feeling for the underdog, say in a sporting event, and enjoy ...read more
