     | 715 views

    Of course, the first announcement at the time of Jesus birth was made to the shepherds who were out in the fields keeping watch over their sheep at night. This was an interesting choice that God made. It was not to kings and priests. The announcement was given to shepherds.

    THE DANGERS OF DECEPTION (part two) Last week, we saw how deception originated with Satan. Satan used deception with Eve and he hasn't changed his MO since.

     | 5,070 views

    We no longer live in a Christian nation. In this 5-week series, we are going to focus on the life of a believer in God who was forced to live in Babylon and draw from his life principles for us. He lived in Babylon. We live in Babylon. He was pulled away from God. We are pulled away from God.

    FAITH FOR EXILES: LIVING IN BABYLON CLEAR THE CLUTTER DANIEL 1:1-21 INTRODUCTION Today we begin a 5-week sermon series that will focus our attention on a basic truth that not all of us want to admit.

    Those who belong to Christ are identified with Him not only in words, but they should live like Him in their deeds. We should have a desire to surrender and offer ourselves as His servant first, and from that springs life in the Spirit.

    Are we among the wise of this generation? What does it mean to be a person who walks in Kingdom-wisdom? Perhaps some sages from the first Christmas can shed some light upon our paths as we walk into a new year.

    Opener: Here we find ourselves in the house of the Lord the day after Christmas!? How do we feel about that?? Traditionally, Boxing day is this: The holiday’s roots can be traced to Britain, where Boxing Day is also known as St. Stephen’s Day. Reduced to the simplest essence, its origins are ...read more

    The first in a series on the life of Jesus through the book of John. Many things influence our perception of Jesus. This sermon attempts to open our eyes to the real Jesus vs. the Jesus we may have perceived him to be.

     | 4,250 views

    In the first in a series of messages on the book of Ruth, a great love story set against the backdrop of the era of the Judges of Israel, we see the high price of sin and Ruth's great confession and how it applies to the church today.

    Ruth Chapter 1:1-22 Introduction J. Vernon McGee calls Ruth "An addendum to the Book of Judges. A brochure of beauty. A bright picture on the black background of the judges."[i] Ruth 1:1 Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man ...read more

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Apr 1, 2021
     | 3,849 views

    John 20 records Mary Magdalene's journeys to the tomb where the body of Jesus was placed. She was the first person to see and speak with the Risen Lord Jesus, and showed Him her undying love.

    Introduction: Mary Magdalene was one of the women who followed Jesus during His earthly ministry. Jesus had cast seven demons out of her at an earlier time (Luke 7-8:2) so no doubt she would be grateful for that miracle. She was there when the Lord’s body was laid in the tomb (Mark 15:40-47) and ...read more

    Paul now begins to unpack his Grand Proposition (2:15-21). In 3:1-18, Paul supports the first part of his proposition: legalism is not the SOURCE of human justification.

    Freedom, It Comes Apart from Law (Part One) (Galatians 3:1-5) Theme: As faith justifies a human being, justification morally obligates that human being.

     | 22,136 views

    This is the first of a two part message concerning the message of the book of Hosea. This deals with the marriage between Hosea and Gomer and how it parallels God’s relationship with Israel and in fact, all Christian believers.

    To begin a study on Hosea, we must first understand the meaning of the word “minor prophet” which is how Hosea was classified. A minor prophet was only assigned that classification based on the length of his book. It had nothing to do with the weight of his message or the length of time that he ...read more
