Amos - 4 Series

Contributed by Dan Cormie on Aug 4, 2010

They trample on the heads of the poor as upon the dust of the ground and deny justice to the oppressed.

The Latter Years Of King David: Victories, Lust, Betrayal, & Hope

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 25, 2021

David cried out in tears and bitter pain and sorrow, as he must’ve looked upon the bodies of Saul and his son Jonathan. David composed a great song of regret and sorrow at the loss of these great men, despite the fact that David had been so severely persecuted and hated by Saul.

Surprise Endings: When? Series

Contributed by John Dobbs on Apr 6, 2019

We might think Christ will judge us based on our correct doctrine, faithful church attendance, or moral behavior. But in our text Jesus offers a different standard: our response to the needy people of this world - the least of these.

Surprise Endings: WHEN? Matthew 25:31-46 Introduction We are at the end of our four-part sermon series called Surprise Endings. This parable is different in some ways. It does not begin with “the Kingdom of heaven is like” - leading some to believe it is not specifically a parable. It is the ...read more

Those Gentiles!

Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 27, 2013

We Gentiles have been granted repentance by God. This gift is of greater worth than anything this world has to offer. The early church was not excited to open the door of faith to us. What then shall be our response to God's gift of grace?

What to do with those Gentiles!? Acts 11 records when the doors of the church swung wide open to every nation and Peter was called on the carpet for taking the first steps. We look at this today and wonder how they could have missed it. Did not Jesus himself commission them to go into all the ...read more

Federal Control - A Christian Reaction

Contributed by Robert Sickler on Apr 10, 2015

People have willingly allowed the government to gain influence and control over almost every facet of their lives, just because of their need to believe in the existence of a higher power who offers them succor and security.

Federal Control –a Christian’s Reaction. Illustration The young missionary arrived early in the morning at a native village where he was to share the word of God through an interpreter. The fellowship meeting would not take place until the next day so the missionary was given time to ...read more

Making Connections Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 13, 2009

For some, Paul’s greetings at the end of Romans might seem boring and not relevant. To the contrary, Paul’s connections with other believers offers us a rich tapestry of life and service in the 1st century church.

Paul’s letter to the Romans was not merely a theological treatise on God’s plan to rescue mankind from evil. He wrote it to people he had (mostly) never met, in a city where he had never been. The purpose of his letter was that of introduction. “Hi, I’m Paul, and this is what I believe.” In ...read more

Life's Dangerous Journey Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Oct 21, 2013

Living a life dedicated to God can be a dangerous undertaking. There are physical, emotional and even spiritual battles that threaten to take us away from trusting God and being used by Him. These psalms offer hope in that journey.

Psalm 120 begins what are called the “songs of ascent.” The Jews sang these 15 songs as they made their way “up” or “ascending” to Jerusalem for one of the feasts. You can just picture groups joining up and singing together on the road. So much better than many ...read more

The Kindness Of God

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jul 9, 2009

David showed God’s kindness, when he brought Mephibosheth (descendant of Saul) into the palace, restored to him everything that belongs to Saul and having him sit with him at every meal. Grace found Mephibosheth. He was blessed to have fellowship with t

We all need kindness. It is a language the dumb can speak, the deaf can hear, and the blind can see. • Kindness is more than just loving people. It is loving people more than they deserve. • Kindness is ‘going the extra mile’, it is grace put into action. We are going to look at one encounter in ...read more
