    What Do You Expect

    Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on May 5, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,107 views

    Expectation is the active ingredient of faith that is deposited into the heart when the word of God is heard and believed. There is no such thing as a living faith without expectation.

    Numbers 13:1-3 KJV And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, [2] Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.

    Is Official/Formal Church Membership In A Local Church According To Scripture? – Part 4 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 7, 2025
     | 138 views

    This is the final part and we look at a numbers of issues here as well as two statements from Internet sites on why membership is important. Over and over I am opposing this notion that commitment is connected with official membership. It is judgemental and untrue. I hope this is of some value.

    IS OFFICIAL/FORMAL CHURCH MEMBERSHIP IN A LOCAL CHURCH ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE? – PART 4 We have been looking at some passages of scripture from Paul’s writings and in vain, do we look for even the slightest suggestion that a church has official membership that discriminates among the Christians ...read more

     | 2,661 views

    The following sermon is going to review five people's glimpses of the Lord and how their lives were forever changed! Since meeting God is not an impossibility but a divine gift from our Creator, let us never stop seeking Him and inviting Him to transform our very lives for His honor and glory!

    Getting a Glimpse of the Lord John 1:43-51; Mark 10:17-25; Luke 13:10-17; John 21:15-19; Luke 18:9-14 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 There are so many things happening in this chaotic merry-go-round called life that to keep from succumbing to its chaos we tend to ...read more

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Oct 16, 2023
     | 1,244 views

    This message is worded to help understand the importance of confession in regards to our relationship with God.

    Today, let’s talk a bit about confession. Is it a good thing? What is your favorite place to hide when you don’t want to be found? Do you remember when you were little playing hide and seek? Have you ever watched a small child play hide and seek? The small ones are usually not really good at ...read more

     | 1,726 views

    Paul defends his apostleship, his divine message and his commission to the Gentiles. He highlights the conduct and the crux of the Gospel - justification by faith in Christ.

    Gal 2:11-21 Living Out the Gospel ES 15 Oct 23 2538 11But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. 12For before certain men came from James, he was eating with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing the circumcision ...read more

    Understanding How God uses the Spiritual Gifts through man

    One of the greatest scriptures that inspires me to study is Hosea 4:6 which says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget ...read more

    The Promise And Its Fulfilment Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 19, 2023
     | 1,515 views

    Our status before God changes when we believe in Christ. We are sons of God, we are one in Christ and we are Abraham's offsprings, becoming heirs of God's promise.

    Gal 3:27-4:7 The Promise and Its Fulfilment 3:23 Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. 24So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. 25But now that faith has come, we ...read more

    Righteous Joseph Series

    Contributed by Shine Thomas on Dec 1, 2023
     | 1,281 views

    People often neglect righteous Joseph while focussing on the theme of Christmas. But do you know there is a man who stands silently next to the manger in the nativity scene? He is not even given a single line to speak! Then he disappears completely from history after the teenage years of Jesus.

    INTRODUCTION There is a story of courage that took place in the very first Christmas. It is about righteous Joseph. But it is a story we often miss because people’s Christmas focus is mostly around a young mother Mary and her son, Jesus. People often neglect righteous Joseph while focussing on the ...read more

    Discerning The Source Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Dec 17, 2023
     | 1,214 views

    John is saying there are and will be a lot of deep fakes in the world. Not everything that claims to be spiritual is genuinely spiritual. The big question is how will we be able to distinguish between what’s real and what’s fake? How do we know if something is from God or not?

    Today, we come to the 4th sermon in our Walking with Jesus series. As we read through the book of 1 John, we see that God is not only preparing us for what we need for the present but also for the future. 1 John 4:1-21 1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether ...read more

    The Road To Rest

    Contributed by Terry Hovey on Feb 19, 2025
     | 298 views

    Jesus calls us to come and rest in Him. That word "Come" is a call to all who are weary and heavy-laden to come to Him. It's a compound word that means "here" and "come"--so, Jesus is giving His call to "Come here", to "Come here to Me!"

    The Road to Rest Matthew 11:25-30 John Bunyan's classic analogy of the Christian life, Pilgrim's Progress follows the journey of the main character named Christian as he travels from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City, which describes the spiritual journey of a Christian towards ...read more

     | 1,165 views

    The troubling of the waters of Bethesda signaled the descent of the angel. We all have our "story" of why we can't get healed; Jesus doesn't need it. Jesus didn't wait for the angel to heal, because He's ALWAYS READY TO HEAL! Call on Him!

    If we want to be salt and light to the world, then we have to get people's positive attention. One of the most attractive things is authenticity. In this sermon, we explore what Christian authenticity looks like.

    Introduction: A. There’s a story told of a woman who pulled up to a red light behind another car. 1. The driver of the car in front of her was talking on his cellphone and shuffling through some papers on the seat beside him. a. The light turned green, but the man didn't notice. b.

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 9, 2023
     | 1,307 views

    The Old Testament prophets wrote of things to come and strained to look into those things to understand them; things for our instruction. The Holy Spirit moved them to write of Christ who would come. The grace of God is revealed and we look forward to the glorious hope to come.

    MESSAGE IN 1PETER – NUMBER 1 – A PROBLEM THAT WAS NOT SOLVED BUT IS SOLVED – 1Peter 1:9-12 [1]. INTRODUCTION Have you ever pondered over something that was a bit enigmatic but you were not able to solve it? Perhaps it was not for you to solve, only to know a few small threads of it.
