Sermons on Gideon Had Many Wives:

The Source Of Satisfaction Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 16, 2021

Jesus had to admonish her that the water from the well will never quench her thirst for ever. She would have drink this physical water many times a day to be satisfied. This is very similar to a person who is in an addiction. The habit is never satiated. There is a constant desire for more.

Chapter 2 – Source of satisfaction John 8:36, “So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.”(NRSV) We looked in the previous chapter at various things that people are addicted to – drugs, alcohol, smoking, pornography and certain kinds of friendships and relationships that are not ...read more

Back To Bethel, Part 2

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Sep 5, 2020

Jacob had returned to Bethel before he settled Canaan with his family. Many years later, his descendants were carried away captive and foreigners were brought in to settle some of the cities. One of these was Bethel. What happened to this second group of people at Bethel?

The first message was based on Jacob’s return to Bethel, in Genesis 35, and how he led his family to get right with God. This message displays the other side of that concept, namely, a much different “back ...read more

How The Blind Can See Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 18, 2018

Our world is filled with blind people. Granted, all are not physically blind, but many have never had their eyes opened spiritually. Jesus alone can touch our blindness and give sight. We must come by faith unto Him if we desire to see.

How the Blind Can See Mark 10: 46-52 It has been said, “There is no one so blind as he who will not see”. Our world is filled with blind people.
