Why We Need A Savior Series

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Aug 1, 2016

This is a foundation series that examines the first 3 chapters to learn why we need a savior including a somewhat detailed look at the serpent.

Why we need a savior I grew up in a small country church. All of us were either family or friends who were so close that we may as well been family. We loved the Lord and we loved each other. I couldn’t have asked for a church family who loved the Lord more. They taught me, by how they ...read more

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Nov 16, 2019

Today, we move to the next part of the verse which deals with the fact that the Suffering Servant had done no violence nor was he deceitful to anyone.

Last week, we saw that the prophet Isaiah said that the Suffering Servant would be assigned a grave with the wicked and the rich in his death, even though he had done no violence and was not deceitful.

What To Do In The Day Of Trouble Series

Psalm 41 describes a "time of trouble". Like David and Jesus, we all face our own evil days. Ephesians 6:13 reminds us to put on the whole armor of God to stand firm in these times of spiritual warfare. No one is immune, but God equips us to endure.

A Simple Solution To Suffering Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021

Paul was a great sufferer of all kinds of unjust pain, and it was not because of sin, but because he was a servant of Christ.

One of the good things to come out of suffering is this: It forces those who cannot see any sense in it to grapple with the mystery, and strive to squeeze some meaning out of it. Almost everyone who writes on suffering does so out of their own personal encounter with this mysterious monster. In ...read more

Sins Of Omission Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

The basic definition of sin is missing the mark. It is missing the opportunity to do good, and choosing instead to do evil, or to do nothing at all. And the nothing at all is often overlooked as being a part of the whole problem of sin.

We are tempted to do evil, but seldom think of the reality that we are also tempted to not do good. It is possible to be doing nothing wrong, and still be living in sin, because of what we are not doing. This is the surprising truth that James hits us with in 4:17 where he says, "Anyone, ...read more

Sermon On The Devil Within

Sixteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time- Weeds And Wheat

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jun 27, 2023

The seventh chapter of Revelation we have a pause between the sixth chapter and the eight chapter.
