A Spiritual Beginning Series

Contributed by Dr. Jerry N. Watts on Mar 8, 2011

If a church body is to have a spiritual impact, she must have a spiritual beginning. This message speaks this from the words of Christ.

A Word to the Church “A Spiritual Beginning” Acts 1:4-8 * Most of you know that one of my good friends is Kevin Hamm. There are many reasons for this. It seems that he and I have a similar sense of humor and (sadly for him) some similar personality traits. However, the main thing ...read more

Navigating God’s Will Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Dec 17, 2018

God’s will is something we usually discern with our renewed minds, but sometimes God directs us differently (but never contrary to Scripture); sometimes He hints at those plans, but has not been clear about them — yet He reveals them in His time.

Navigating God’s Will (Matthew 1:18-25) 1. Some people think you can find God’s will by opening up a page of the Bible and putting your finger down, “Bible dipping.” So this guy tries this method of finding God’s will for him. He prays for guidance. He closes his eyes, lets his Bible fall open, ...read more

Released From Fear

Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Jun 7, 2015

Jesus did not use violence to tie up the strongman in our house, in our self. Jesus knew that the only way to release us from fear, from the strongman in our live is love. Love conquers all. He works love in us to release us from fear.

Mark 3: 20-35 RELEASED FROM FEAR Jesus had just started his ministry on earth. He had gathered to him twelve disciples and was touring the countryside bringing healing into people’s lives. His reputation preceded him and wherever he went there was a crowd gathered around him and ...read more

A Path From Babel To Pentecost

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 28, 2016

Babel speaks of "confusion", and is a byword for all that is wrong with the world. Only Pentecost could bring order.

A PATH FROM BABEL TO PENTECOST. Genesis 11:1-9. The height of our tallest building does not necessarily impress God: He has to “come down” even to see it (Genesis 11:5). Babel - to the Babylonians - spoke of ‘the gateway to the gods’: and yet man was there found still aspiring to get where he ...read more

Know When To Dance

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jul 30, 2020

If it disrupts the service or calls attention to yourself then refrain from dancing or whatever you are feeling. It may just be you and not the Spirit leading you. Subject your spirit because you can.

Every now and then I feel like doing a joyful dance in church, but it would be too distracting. During worship it might not be too bad, but I never felt led by the Spirit to do it so I don't. 1 Cor 14:40 Let all things be done decently and in order. We are called to worship in decency and ...read more

How Our Nation Turned Its Back On God's Commandments Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 26, 2021

No city, no nation, no culture deliberately sets out to become a society of depraved miscreants, to be forever remembered as abhorrent, to give its name to an unspeakable sin.

Homily for Monday of 13th week in Course Gen 18; Mt 8:18-22 Have you ever wondered how Sodom and Gomorrah got to be the way they were in the time of Abraham and Lot?

Heading Home From Jerusalem Series

Contributed by Roberta Karchner on Apr 19, 2024

The concept (Bright Sunday) is that Jesus was having fun showing up for the disciples, here as they headed home, he walked with them, and they recognized him in the breaking of the bread.

Today is Bright Sunday. Easter is a Holy Day, a day when everyone comes to church. Today is the day when the Christian believers come back to celebrate, because we are now in Easter Tide – the time between the Resurrection and when Jesus Ascended into heaven. After the Ascension, we have ...read more

The Old Testament gave favored status to the Jews and considered Gentiles unclean. But the New Testament teaches that the ground is level at the foot of the cross.

INTRODUCTION Galatians is written to a group of Christians who were straying from the grace-way. They replaced grace with rule-keeping. We need laws and rules. I’m glad we have the law of gravity, or we’d all fly off into space. And, of course, we need speed limit laws for public ...read more

A Perfect Wedding Sermon

Contributed by Luke Vasicek on Feb 26, 2024

I've written several wedding sermons--this one is the best. I received too many compliments on it to remember.

Marriage is a sacred relationship of mutual submission–the wife serves the husband and the husband serves the wife. Men and women are both made in God’s image and loved equally by Him, but they are also sometimes very different. Just as men are physically stronger and produce within themselves the ...read more

God's Design For Marriage: Defending The Biblical View

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 27, 2021

Jesus Christ was once asked about marriage and divorce. He replied in this way:

The Shameful Truth Of A Man Exploits A Woman's Hard-Earned Money Series

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Apr 18, 2024

In a society where gender roles are evolving, it's disheartening to witness men taking advantage of women's financial struggles.
