    As we approach Thanksgiving, it is important that we Christians prepare our hearts for this very special day.

    We know that to be ready for special days requires special preparation, such as for: • Christmas • Mother’s Day • Father’s Day • July 4th • Veterans Day • Memorial Day But when it comes to Thanksgiving, the preparation in many homes involves Mom going to the grocery store and buying a big ham or ...read more

    At a dinner party, several of the guests were arguing whether men or women were more trustworthy.

    more trustworthy. • “No woman,” said one man, scornfully, “can keep a secret.” • “I don't know about that,” answered a woman guest. “I have kept my age a secret since I was twenty-one.” • “You'll let it out some day,” the man insisted. • “I hardly think so!” responded the lady. “When a ...read more

    Rolling Stone Series

     | 2,844 views

    There are lots and lots of ways that we can put Jesus in a tomb and roll a stone over it, but there is no tomb strong enough, my friend, no stone too heavy that Jesus can’t smash it to pieces.

    [Remember ... the members have been placing stones at the foot of the cross for the past seven weeks of Lent and the pile of stones around the bases has gotten pretty impressive ... powerful visual. But when they come in on Easter morning, the stones are all gone.] [Read Luke 15:11-24.] You’ve ...read more

    Jacob-The "Dinah Jacobs” Story Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Apr 28, 2022
     | 4,176 views

    Jacob's daughter Dinah is only mentioned in a few places in Scripture. This story shows how one decision can lead to a whole lot of problems.

    Introduction: Remember the old TV Western, “Wagon Train’? Every episode was called “the So-and-So story”, featuring one character who had some kind of impact or another on the wagon train’s journey to California or wherever. Sometimes the “guest” would impact one of the train’s leaders, too—but ...read more

    A preacher told of going through his father's effects after his dad died, and among the things he found was his father's 7th grade report card.

    Back in the Fall of 1941 this 7th grade report card showed the grading scale on the back of it. There was A, B, C, D, F, and something he'd never seen before: the letter G! Who would have thought there was a grade you could get that was below F. But back then there was. ''F'' of ...read more

    This is a follow up to the message about being created in God's image and looks at the question: What does it mean to be human?

    If you were to visit the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. you could visit an exhibit called The Hall of Human Origins, and you could spend the better part of a day visiting the various displays that make up the exhibit. Now if DC isn’t on your vacation list for this year, you could ...read more

    To change the world, go to the back of the line, imitate people like Paul, and get something done.

    Evan Almighty is the story of freshman congressman Evan Baxter, whose main campaign slogan was “change the world.” When he asks for God's help to achieve his goal, God responds in an unusual way—He commands Evan to build an ark in order to rescue a multitude of wild animals. As Evan ...read more

    The honor of being admitted into communion with God and being employed by/for him does not exempt us from the duties due to our families and callings in this world.

    Exodus 4:21-23 21 And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go. 22 And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel ...read more

    Malachi Chapter 3 Has Nothing To Do With The False Prosperity Doctrine – Nothing Whatever (In The Jude Series) Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 24, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,935 views

    The preachers of the “health and wealth” teaching - the "prosperity doctrine", love this chapter in Malachi but they are totally wrong in the exegesis. They use this chapter to rake in money from people. False teachers lead people into a desire for greed and then scam money from them.

    MALACHI CHAPTER 3 HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FALSE PROSPERITY DOCTRINE – NOTHING WHATEVER This message has been placed in the JUDE series because Balaam is very much to the fore. Balaam was a focus in Jude’s letter. The preachers who subscribe to the “health and wealth” teaching otherwise known ...read more

     | 1,754 views

    Yes, Jesus accepted this world for what it is, for what we made it … twisted, broken, and full of hurt … but He so loves the world that He came to die for our sins on the cross, not to condemn us but that we might be saved through Him.

    [This series is based on Reinhold Niebuhr's "The Serenity Prayer" (the full version). This sermon is based on the line: "Taking, as Jesus did, this world as it is and not as I would have it." It was also delivered on Communion Sunday, so it leads to gathering at the ...read more
