    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Oct 6, 2016
     | 7,713 views

    However crafty, however ruthless Herod might have been, he could be no more successful than his evil superior Satan. The Redeemer would come just as was planned, would live just as planned, and would die just as planned.

    Matthew 2:13-18 Rachel’s Sorrow 12/15/02 D. Marion Clark Introduction I do like our Live Nativity we put on at our church. We show the manger scene; we have a full inn, a market square retail booth, angels singing to shepherds, and a tax collector at his booth. We even have the three ...read more

     | 2,798 views

    Under the right circumstances even the best of us will will say no to God and let our "punk within us" take over. Only Jesus can deal with the "punk" in me. God makes a way to deal with our sinful nature through a child at Christmas.

    Why You Shouldn’t Speak In Tongues

    Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 7, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,430 views

    The arguments against speaking in tongues today, if applied to other Bible doctrines, would have all orthodox Bible believers crying foul. The truth is, these arguments are not true to the Scriptures or Early Church experience, and should be rejected.

    WHY YOU SHOULDN’T SPEAK IN TONGUES INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. We’re on our way somewhere! Not just to a normal place like the grocery store or to the bank. We’re on our way to heaven! 2. Have you ever been up a really tall building? A small boy, with his father, was in an elevator going up the ...read more

    The Love Of Jesus On Display

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 31, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,344 views

    The American Church has a bad image problem with the new generation, which is leaving in droves. Here are suggestions for fixing that image -- we need to become known for WHAT WE'RE FOR instead of being known for WHAT WE'RE AGAINST. We must be known as people of love & compassion.

    THE LOVE OF JESUS ON DISPLAY John 8:1-11 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Gary Dearing told a story about his Air Force Colonel, who served as inspector general of his command, and paid particular attention to how personnel wore their uniforms. 2. “On one occasion the Colonel spotted a junior airman ...read more

     | 30,950 views

    In our text, let's consider what the imperishable Word of God produces in people: 1- Purification 2- Love 3- Eternity

    INTRO.- Many good things don't last long, do they? A good pair of shoes. A favorite pair of jeans. A favorite car or truck. Many things wear out unless we get rid of them before that time. We hate to part with some things. And how about the human body? Whew! Man, does it ever perish or fade ...read more

    This discourse was originally delivered as a Thanksgiving Eve message. The reader is challenged to recognize that discontent is a sin, if for no other reason than because it is contrary to the thanksgiving that is due the Lord.

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Jan 8, 2019
     | 5,339 views

    False (mostly mental) images of God distort him, and harm us. Recognize how false images might come to us, and replace them with a true image of God from the Bible, especially Christ.

    NO FALSE IMAGES—Exodus 20:4-6, 32:1-6 (I began with a children’s sermon: “Can you draw God? Why not? God is more than we can describe!”) Read Exodus 20:1-6.

    Love That’s Out Of This World

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 5, 2019
     | 8,195 views

    Paul outlines the 10 characteristics of the "God kind of Love." Christian achievements are worthless without this love and it can only be gained by the indwelling nature of Christ. I utilized an outline by Adrian Rogers.

    LOVE THAT’S OUT OF THIS WORLD 1 Cor. 13:1-13 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A man was speeding down a Texas highway, feeling secure in a column of cars all traveling at the same speed.

    Love: The Four Types Of Love Series

    Contributed by Paul Basehore on Feb 10, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 32,331 views

    Of the four types of love, only one can be chosen -- Agape. God did this intentionally because Agape is the most powerful, and echoes the love He has for us.

    Last week we began our series on the L Word with lust, as an example of what love is not. That means that tonight we will begin to learn about what love is. But which love are we talking about? If that question doesn’t make sense, don’t worry -- you’re not alone. We only have one ...read more
