Samson: The Final Chapter, Part 2 Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Apr 21, 2020

When these events took place, Samson was in trouble and he knew it. The final chapter of his life concludes with a very significant event. May we learn from Samson: trust God, but don't make the same mistakes he did!

No? Well, let’s see ...read more

Trust Not In Princes Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 8, 2020

The Scriptures enjoin us not to trust in princes, because God’s word is very clear about human minds and wills. We are weak, and so we sin.

Are We Tight-Fisted Toward God? (Haggai 1:1-14) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 14, 2022

God, through Haggai, challenges the people to look honestly at their lives-- their priorities, and how well that's worked out for them. God wants his house built.

Today, we start a new three week series on the book of Haggai. I should really start, by explaining something about the background of Haggai. Give you something to set it in the context of Israel's history. But I just don't want to. I'll just say this: Haggai prophesied to ...read more

The Lost Queen

Contributed by Walter Thomas on May 17, 2020

When you lose your Queen piece in chess, you are likely going to lose the game as well unless you are strategically prepared. The church has relied for centuries on its queen, the Sunday/Sabbath day Big Event. But what if pandemic or persecution takes away your queen? How will you then do church?

It Bore No Fruit Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 26, 2022

If a person does not abide in God’s Word, he or she will be cut down. This passage looks at how we need to allow Jesus, the Word made flesh, to penetrate our heart as He penetrated the temple. We are the temple of the Holy Spirit.

This evening’s message is entitled “It Bore No Fruit,” and it’s taken from what is commonly called “The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree.” “Die when I may,” said Abraham Lincoln, “I want it said of me that I plucked a weed and planted a flower wherever I thought a flower would grow.”(1) Lincoln ...read more

When The Glory Of God Departs Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Aug 2, 2024

The departure of the glory of God from the Temple was a milestone event. Was God forsaking His promises to Israel?

- It’s worth noting as I get started this evening that this is a wild chapter with a lot of interesting and unusual details. Those parts of the chapter are worth a Bible study unto themselves to unpack those meanings. This sermon, though, is not that Bible study. - Instead, we will be focusing ...read more
