Sermons on Festival Of Light:

Saved By Christ. Not By You.

Contributed by Lewis Roe on Oct 20, 2018

Legalism or did Jesus do it all?

Colossians 2:16-23 16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. 17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. 18 Do not let anyone who delights ...read more

From Death To Life Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 28, 2018

There's a repetitive theme in Scripture: heroes and heroines of the Bible seemingly all go through the process of being given a vision by God, followed by the death of that vision, and ultimately the rebirth of that vision. How did that pattern apply to Jesus and how does it apply to us?

OPEN: (We showed the image of a fallen tree (https://imgur.com/iP32qff) I saw this picture on the internet about a month ago and it took me a while to realize what I was looking at. Obviously the tree has been uprooted and it’s lying on the ground with its dead limbs extending along the ground. But ...read more

Jesus Back Before Pilate Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Apr 3, 2023

Jesus has become a political liability, so He becomes a political pawn. With ruthless, satanic reasoning, Pilate released a murder and sentenced the innocent Jesus to death by crucifixion.

LUKE 23: 13-17-25 [JESUS’ LAST DAY SERIES] JESUS BACK BEFORE PILATE [JESUS IS SENTENCED TO DEATH] [Mark 15:6-11, 16-20; John 19:1-6] Jesus has been accused of treason by the leaders of His own people.

Walls Come Tumbling Down Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 15, 2023

We are not called to save our buildings, but to conquer Satan's domain. We are to storm the gates of Hell. But, how can do we do that and how can we shake the foundations of people's indifference and bring down the walls of their lack of faith?

Walls Come Tumbling Down OPEN: About 1400 B.C. (1400 years before Jesus was born of Mary) Israel crossed the Jordan River, following Joshua into Promised Land. The first city that Israel that came to was Jericho, and archaeologists tell us that Jericho was a massive fortress-city with walls as ...read more

Jesus is calling true worshipers from every nation and every tribe and every people to follow the only true God, the only King of kings.

Today we are continuing our study in the Gospel of John.

Parables Of The Kingdom – The Third - The Mustard Seed - Part 2 Of 4 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 15, 2025

Now we look into how paganism was sanctioned in the church. It happened under Emperor Constantine who married church and State. Pergamum means married twice. This Part considers much that Constantine did in making the mustard tree a monstrosity.

PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM – THE THIRD - THE MUSTARD SEED - PART 2 of 4 We continue from Part 1 and learn what the Parable of the Mustard Seed really means. The accepted meaning of the parable is not consistent with the scriptures as we began to see in the first Part. {{Matthew 13:31-32 He ...read more

Sermon # 52 - God's Perfect Timing Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 19, 2025

Often the plans of God may not be obvious to us, but as we move forward with faith, those plans of God will unfold perfectly in His time. May we trust God to make everything beautiful in His time.

For today’s meditation I want to read Micah 5:2, The LORD says, "Bethlehem Ephrathah, you are one of the smallest towns in Judah, but out of you I will bring a ruler for Israel, whose family line goes back to ancient times." (GNB) The birth of the Lord Jesus in the little town of ...read more

The Songs Of Ascent – Part 13 – Psalm 129 – Israel Is The Most Persecuted Nation In History Yet The Lord Is Righteous – Part Three Of Three Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 5, 2023

Psalm 129 continues with this third message looking at how Israel has faced persecution. The final end for the nation is glorious as the Lord’s heritage is Israel, and Jerusalem is the city of the Great King. This Psalm is very Jewish and after the long years of persecution, blessing will come.

THE SONGS OF ASCENT – PART 13 – PSALM 129 – ISRAEL IS THE MOST PERSECUTED NATION IN HISTORY YET THE LORD IS RIGHTEOUS – PART THREE OF THREE Psalm 129 focuses on the persecution endured by Israel and in the two previous parts we looked into some of this.

Sermon # 35 - The Heart Of A Christian Leader Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 18, 2024

Jonah was a prophet of God, but he did not understand the loving heart of God towards a repentant people. The heart of Moses as a leader of the Israelites and the forgiving heart of Jesus are the best examples of how a Christian leader should love and care for the people under his or her care.

We read in Jonah 4:1, “Jonah was very unhappy about this and became angry.” (GNB) There are two kinds of emotions that Jonah expressed as mentioned in the verse above, one was sadness, and the other was anger. As we meditate on this portion of scripture, we will try to understand the reasons for ...read more

Sermon # 2 - Choose The Truth Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 26, 2025

In a world that thrives on lies, as children of God we must decide to follow Jesus who is the Truth. If we do not stand firm on the truth, we will find ourselves compromise with the lies of Satan, and making choices that are contradictory to the true values that God has set for us in His word.

We read in Philippians 4:8, Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. (ESV) In the above mentioned verse ...read more

Getting Our Hands Dirty

Contributed by Steven Devroy on May 15, 2024

Today, we are reminding ourselves that in the end, the best expression of our faith is by reaching out in love and service to the world around us. Truly, to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ to a world that is in need of His grace and mercy can be a messy endeavor for sure.
