John’s Ministry Begins Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 21, 2017

John the Baptist steps out on the stage of history. He is a New Testament personality, but I classify him as an Old Testament prophet, because of his character and his message.

-AD 7-8- Judean Wilderness John’s Ministry Begins (Malachi 3:1) Matthew 3:1, Mark 1:1-4, Luke 3:1-2, John 1:19-28 God planned the ministry of John the Baptist.

Daniel’s Friends: "But If Not—“

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Oct 8, 2020

Suppose your employer or ruler demanded you worship an image or idol, and would be put to death if you refused? That happened to Daniel's three friends, who were willing to die for their faith before ever bowing down to any other god besides the God of Israel.

Daniel’s friends: “But if not—“ Introduction: Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon during Daniel’s youth, certainly did not lack a sense of ego or self-importance. In chapter 2, he made an impossible demand on Babylon’s wise men, instructing them to repeat the king’s dream and what it meant or else ...read more

The Last Days

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Jul 24, 2020

Only someone who is completely out of touch with reality would dispute the fact that we are living in the last days. The question is... What is the church going to look like in the last days? What can we expect to see through the church?

The Holy Spirit witnesses to us concerning the last days, and he tells us what to expect. He tells us the attitude and the spirit that will prevail in the hearts of the wicked. (2 Timothy 3:1-5 ) KJV “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. [2] For men shall be ...read more

The Time Is Fulfilled

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 11, 2018

Isn’t it true that when humans fail, sin, even commit the most awful injustices, God’s mercy is ever present, ever able to forgive when we repent?

First Sunday of Lent 2018 We come to Mass on the First Sunday of Lent, full of energy that has not diminished since we crowded the churches on Ash Wednesday.

Fourth Bowl: Men Are Scorched By The Sun Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 21, 2018

What is normally taken for granted as blessing―the warmth of the shining sun―is now a curse. The sun, the great source of light and warmth, whose beams call forth the flowers in the Spring, becomes a power to blast, not to bless.

Book of Revelation By: Tom Lowe Date: 3/26/17 Lesson: IV.B.5: Fourth bowl: Men are scorched by the sun (16:8-9) Revelation 16:8-9 (KJV) 8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. 9 ...read more

The New Wine Of The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 19, 2018

The Jewish people knew God the Father from the Old Testament. Through their journey of faith they knew that God the Father was a Spirit and that God the Father was the One who provided them with a deliverer who would also be a Messiah.

The New Wine of the Holy Spirit Acts 2:1-21 Today is Pentecost Sunday and that means that it is Holy Spirit day. Today is really the third most important day on our Christian calendars.

The Days Of Noah - A Positive Approach

Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on May 29, 2019

Most sermons on the days of Noah are scary and depressing, in this message we talk about how Noah was on fire for God, and that his life is an example of what believers will be like in the last days.

The Days of Noah - A Positive Approach This is a two part message. In this first part we will look at the positive side of how it was in the Days of Noah, and in part 2 we will talk about the negative and relate it to the man of lawlessness found in the New Testament. I want to begin by observing ...read more

Pentecost. What does it mean to us and to the world?

Pentecost 2016

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on May 18, 2016

The arrival of the Holy Spirit during Pentecost was a turning point in the plan of God's great salvation of humanity. That event was not something that was done in secret but was announced with signs and wonders and with the salvation of 3000 souls!

Acts 2:1-13 (You can look this up now and we’ll read it later …) The Lord is a GREAT planner. He chose to send the Holy Spirit when people from all over the Roman Empire and beyond would be in Jerusalem. Why were they all coming to Jerusalem at that time? Deuteronomy 16:16-17 ...read more
