No Impossible Cases Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 17, 2012

God’s timing is always perfect. In Galatians 4, Paul expressed that idea when he wrote “But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son…” So we know that God chose the time when Jesus was to come into the world, and that it was the ex

The Good Shepherd

Contributed by Lyndon Marcotte on Jun 16, 2011

What Jesus says is that he’s not here to lead us into constraint...he’s here to lead us out! The door isn’t the gate to a cattle stall or a chute to the slaughter house! This gate leads out into the vast beautiful pasture, a life of freedom… full of joy.

The Good Shepherd – John 10:1-10 The imagery of Christ the Shepherd and the sheep has made for beautiful pictures to decorate our homes, lovely greeting cards, and beautiful hymns, but the meaning and implication of this symbol is deeply personal and convicting. Far too often when we think ...read more

Let Your Light Shine At The Peak

Contributed by James Dina on Oct 29, 2022

As of March 2022, 42 percent of pastors had considered leaving full-time ministry within the previous year (BARNA Group Survey). Also, only 30% of the leaders in the Bible finished well. This means that 70% fell short of God’s plan for their lives. Our lights must definitely shine at the peak.

LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE AT THE PEAK "Son of man, how is the wood of the vine better than any other wood, the vine branch which is among the trees of the forest? (Ezekiel 15:2) Jesus disarmed principalities and powers. He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. ...read more

Laodicea: Knock, Knock! Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Feb 14, 2021

Becoming a tepid or lukewarm church doesn’t take any effort at all … none. All we have to do is sit in the pews, sing the same old hymns, hear the same old sermons over and over again, and eventually you’ll end up with a tepid church full of lukewarm Christians.

The sun showed them no mercy. Directly overhead, it blazed and beat down on them. They were tired and hungry and very thirsty, so the sight of a well … even a Samaritan well … was a more-than-welcome sight. Jesus and the Disciples didn’t have a jar or a bucket with them, so they had no way to ...read more

The Fruit Of Joy Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 8, 2021

Joy is a feeling that no matter how hard life is, I have the best that life can offer in Christ. Anyone can feel good and be happy when all is going well and life is free of negatives. But with the fruit of joy you can rejoice in the Lord always, even when life is full of negatives

Martin Clark said every church should have a humor committee because there are more funny things that happen in church than in a zoo, for people are funnier than the animals.

God Is Our Judge And Joy! Series

Contributed by Larry Vollink on Nov 28, 2020

God is our Judge and our Joy! Our daily living must reflect what God wants from us -- following the Word of God, submitting to God, resisting the devil, humbling yourselves before the Lord, purifying your heart, and be peace-loving, considerate, full of mercy, and sincere (James 3:17)

When the Lord appeared to Abraham and the 3 visitors came to him, to tell him that Sarah would have a son, the Lord told him he would destroy Sodom and Gomorrah with the wicked and the righteous together. Abraham called Him 'The Judge of All the Earth." But the "Judge" was able ...read more

How To Find The Good Shepherd Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Jun 8, 2021

The world is a very dangerous place spiritually, full of wolves that come to us in sheep's clothing, evil shepherds masquerading as good shepherds. How do we find the Good Shepherd? How do we determine the difference between good shepherds and bad? Jesus provides insight in John 10.

If you’re only casually familiar with the Bible, you might be surprised to find out that one of the major themes of the New Testament is false teachers. Under this general category fall false shepherds, false prophets and false apostles. You see, the Bible claims to be the truth about God and ...read more

From Womb To The Tomb

Contributed by Chris Mccall on Apr 21, 2025

You may be wondering what does “From Womb to Tomb” have to do with the Easter message. There had to be a journey to get there. I want to take on that journey so that we may connect with the fullness of Easter & the incredible value it has brought to all who truly accept the Good News gospel.

Here we are with one of the greatest weekends that the church gets to celebrate each year. If it were not for this weekend’s event taking place, there would be no gospel nor a message of Good News! I am always humbled delivering this message of hope on this weekend because there are many who ...read more

What Do I Do When I Feel Tempted To Sin? Series

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 6, 2024

In those situations where we’re facing a sin, something we know is wrong, but it’s a desire within us, what do we do?

I remember feeling many years ago that the power of sin was just too strong in my life. I would feel the pressure within to indulge in the sin. And it seemed inevitable. Theres just no way. I can’t stop sinning. It’s too big. It’s too much. But over time as I learned about God, and grew in my ...read more

Knocked Down But Not Knocked Out

Contributed by Karl Perry on Dec 31, 2006

It’s good to know that it does not matter how many times we get knocked down, just as long as we get up again? And the good thing about this is the fact that when we do get back up, we may not have our full balance and composure, but just the mere effort

Judas - Walking With Jesus But Following Satan

Contributed by Claude Alexander on Mar 22, 2022

There are few more perplexing questions of the Bible than this: If He knew that Judas would betray Him in the end, why did Jesus choose Judas as a disciple to begin with?. And what does Jesus have to teach us by choosing someone to be his disciple, knowing full well he would betray him?

Judas the traitor. Walking with Jesus but following Satan. John 13: 21-27 Every story needs a villain and Judas Iscariot fills this role in the gospels. He is the apostle who betrayed Jesus and helps the Jewish authorities to arrest him. Judas enjoyed a privileged position among Jesus' ...read more

Jesus Wept - Part One (Covid) Series

Contributed by Scott Bayles on Sep 11, 2020

A full third of Americans are wrestling with depression and anxiety. Maybe you're one of them. It might help you to know that the Bible records three separate times that Jesus was so overwhelmed with emotion that he broke down in tears. How can the tears of Jesus help us wipe away our own?

Looking At The Impossible

Contributed by Scott Sutton on Oct 3, 2024

Did you know, the Bible truly is full of amazing, and exciting stories? There're stories of giants, there are stories about spies, stories of huge whales, of ships and of shipwrecks, huge dragon-like beasts, and so many other incredible things we can read in the pages of God's Word.

The story we're going to read from the Bible today has exciting parts in it, there are spies, there are giants in this story. But sadly, in this story we're going to see how something that could have been so incredible for God’s people turned out to be something very tragic because of their ...read more
