Contributed by Dwayne Dickson on Feb 13, 2016

The first of a series on the essential stories of the Old Testament. This sermon describes God's character and being. It also explores the idea that we are the pinnacle of God's creation. God created us to pour His love into us.

The Story of God Introduction This Sunday we are beginning a study of some of our favorite Old Testament Bible stories. And of course the best place to start is the beginning, the book of Genesis and the creation account. Over the years I have heard numerous reasons given for why Christians ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 10, 2023

There was a large black pot and it became the focus of the world. Follow what happened as paint was poured into that pot. There are real meanings behind things here, and an analysis of the paint colour. I hope you enjoy this even though it has a serious meaning behind it.

THE ALLEGORY OF THE LARGE POT March 2023 PART 1 A large pot had been constructed and placed on public view. It was beautifully made and glistened in the sun but the pot was empty. No one was quite sure why it was empty. Then one day some people came along with a very large tin of paint. The ...read more

Artificial People Living Artificial Lives - Message Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 13, 2023

Do people live artificial lives because they are artificial, OR they are artificial because they live artificial lives? Olives will never be produced from a fig tree. The world is full of artificial people. What about Christians – are you living an artificial life that does not please God?

ARTIFICIAL PEOPLE LIVING ARTIFICIAL LIVES - MESSAGE [A]. EXPOSING ARTIFICIALITY I have just seen one of these documentaries set in a very exclusive English Hotel rated with 5 stars.

Genesis Chapter One Series

Contributed by Tom Shepard on Nov 19, 2022

These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter One. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

GENESIS CHAPTER ONE OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is creation of all the world and everything we know in the universe. Joseph Benson’s Commentary (1857) Says: We have three things in this chapter: (1) A general idea of the work of creation, Genesis 1:1-2. (2) A particular ...read more

God And Creation

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 23, 2022

Someone has said that Genesis 1:1 is read more than any verse in the Bible.

This is especially true in January, since many begin the year with the determination to read the Bible through that year, but often that is as far as they get. However, if they only read this one verse, it will tell them a great deal about the God of the Bible. This one scripture is considered ...read more

Physical Description Of God

Contributed by Phillip Smith on Dec 9, 2023

You have seen police shows on television where an incident has happened and the police seek witnesses. They ask for a physical description of the suspect. Just as a police officer asks us to describe a suspect, can you describe God to someone who perhaps does not believe there is a God?

John 4:24. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. To properly be pleasing unto God and worship Him in a proper manner, we must try to understand things of the spirit realm. Why? If we claim to be of the body of Christ, …the carnal mind is enmity against ...read more
