Amputation 101 - Matthew 5:29-30 (Contd) Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 14, 2024

The key to persuading your heart to fling sin away is to become convinced that nearness to God would be more satisfying than that sin. But what do you do when the sin brings intense pleasure and the last few times you sought God in prayer or Scripture it was boring?

Matthew 5:27-30 "You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.' 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to ...read more

For The Sake Of The Call

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 23, 2023

Jesus called a bunch of smelly fishermen to share in His ministry. So, when Jesus extends a call, what does it look like? What does it entail? What might He ask us to do? Or, what might we have to let go of in order to serve Him?

I have entitled our message this morning, “For the Sake of the Call,” and we are going to look at how Jesus called a bunch of smelly fishermen to share in His ministry. Allow me to get started with a joke: “Why did Jesus call so many fishermen to become apostles? He was always looking for a ‘net ...read more

When We Are At The Point Of Death – The Christian Perspective Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 3, 2023

While the Rapture is delayed everyone must reach the gates of death. What are those last days, hours, minutes like? We look at that, and questions around death. For Christians, the Lord Jesus provides the road through death into His presence FOREVER MORE.

WHEN WE ARE AT THE POINT OF DEATH – THE CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE [1]. THE INTRODUCTION – THOUGHTS NEARING DEATH I would estimate very few want to face death, but for the committed Christians, they are prepared and happy to, because they know the truth of the verses - {{2Corinthians 5:7-8 “for we ...read more

Making Marriage Marvelous Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 17, 2021

What a wife is and does determines more in a marriage than any other factor. She is the star at the wedding, and must go on being the star, for when she falls the sky is dark indeed.

Some little girls were having a great time playing wedding. They had a couple of bridesmaids, a bride and a maid of honor. The mother of one of the girls observed that the groom was conspicuous by his absence, and she asked, "What about the groom?" One child quickly replied, ...read more

Making Marriage Marvelous Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

The wife plays the leading role in marriage even though she is to be submissive to her husband. When the biblical view of marriage properly understood, no woman can ever complain that she is treated unfairly.

Searching For The Faithful

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 30, 2022

God is searching for the faithful, as He wants to show Himself strong on their behalf. He is seeking those who realize that God is bigger than man’s limited wisdom; and He is seeking those who walk in obedience to His commands.

George Muller said, “Faith does not operate in the realm of the possible. There is no glory for God in that which is humanly possible. Faith begins where man’s power ends.” I’ve entitled our message for this morning, “Searching for the Faithful,” and it’s based on a verse often used in Scripture ...read more

No Graven Image: The Curse Of Idolatry Series

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Nov 22, 2022

God does not share His glory. He alone is to be worshipped, revered, and honored as King and God. The fall of the nation of Israel is a grim reminder of how deeply idolatry offends God. He both exposed and judged their sin.

Calvary and the Cross were close at hand.

Faith And The Iron Chariots

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Jun 4, 2021

We often believe that God can help us, but only up to a certain point. This belief conceals a measure of self-trust. If Judah had demonstrated the same faith about the chariots of iron as about the mountaineers, the chariots of iron would have been no better than chariots of straw.

Judges 1:19 - So the LORD was with Judah. And they drove out the mountaineers, but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the lowland, because they had chariots of iron. Background: Joshua had divided the inheritance among the children of Israel. However, there were still lands to be ...read more
