David Anointed King Of Israel Series

Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Mar 6, 2020

Second Samuel 5:1-16 shows us the establishment of the kingdom of God on earth.

Scripture Perhaps as many as fifteen years earlier, the Prophet Samuel was sent by God to anoint young David as the future king over Israel (1 Samuel 16:1-13). David lived an incredibly full life after his anointing. He single-handedly killed Goliath, fought countless battles, evaded numerous ...read more

"A Lame Excuse" Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Jan 5, 2011

Before you can change you must decide that you want to be changed. There was a reason Jesus asked the question of the lame man, "Do you want to be well?" All of us must answer this crucial question.

`“A Lame Excuse” John 5:1-15 Jesus has now come up from the city of Cana to the city of Jerusalem to celebrate one of the religious feasts. In Jerusalem there were different gates to enter and they were used for a variety of purposes. One of these gates was called the Sheep gate. ...read more

A Matter Of Life And Death Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 3, 2015

Cage fighting is a particularly gruesome way of fighting, and yet Paul used the fighting of his day (more brutal than MMA) to describe Timothy's responsibilities. What could we possibly learn from MMA that could make us better servants of Christ?

How many of you know the meaning of these letters used to describe a sporting event: MMA? (Mix Martial Arts). It’s kind of like boxing where the contestants not only hit each other with their fists, but also with their feet and knees and elbows. It’s also called “Cage ...read more

The Army Of God Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 10, 2016

The role of the Church is central to the story of Revelation. How does God portray in this book, and what can this mean to us about our part in God's eternal plan?

OPEN: Harry Emerson Fosdick told the tale of a little church on the coast of England that was ruined in a hurricane. The congregation was poor and didn’t have the money to rebuild. Then one day a representative of the British Admiralty came to the preacher and asked if they intended to ...read more

Heaven Can't Wait Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 30, 2016

Heaven is a wonderful promise. But there are those who think it will be boring and tedious. They're wrong - but do you know why?

OPEN: This is the last in our 9 part sermon series from Revelation. A lot of preachers won’t preach through the whole book of Revelation (it me took me 30 years to believe I could do it) because they feel it is a confusing book - and they fear they’ll get things wrong and mess something ...read more

Standing In The Gap Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 4, 2016

The first 3 chapters of Revelation have often been seen as separate from the rest of the book. But that doesn't make any sense. Why would Jesus spend 3 chapters on local churches who were not part of the rest of the story?

OPEN: This morning I’m going to teach you a little about something that’s called “Hermeneutics”. Hermeneutics is the description of how to read and understand your Bible. When I was in Bible College I had a professor who told us that whenever the Bible had a lot to say on a ...read more

Parables Of The Kingdom – The Third - The Mustard Seed - Part 2 Of 4 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 15, 2025

Now we look into how paganism was sanctioned in the church. It happened under Emperor Constantine who married church and State. Pergamum means married twice. This Part considers much that Constantine did in making the mustard tree a monstrosity.

PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM – THE THIRD - THE MUSTARD SEED - PART 2 of 4 We continue from Part 1 and learn what the Parable of the Mustard Seed really means. The accepted meaning of the parable is not consistent with the scriptures as we began to see in the first Part. {{Matthew 13:31-32 He ...read more

Travelers In The Fog

Contributed by James May on Apr 20, 2001

When we walk in our own understanding, without the leading of the Spirit, we are walking in a fog. We must allow the Day Star to arise within our hearts.

Travelers in the Fog A few days ago, I drove out of my driveway headed to work. It was about 6 AM and those of you who are up and about at that time of the morning will know that it is still dark outside. I immediately noticed that not only was it still dark but that there was also a thick fog. ...read more
