Why Light Doesn’t Always Lead To Sight Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jul 21, 2025

John doesn’t blink when he says the ultimate reason the Jewish people don’t believe is because of God. What you are seeing in Jesus’ ministry is the same that Isaiah saw in his ministry. God has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts.

The first two things Jesus’ disciples say about him in the Gospel of John are “We have found the Messiah” (John 1:41). And, “We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, ...read more

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Jan 13, 2020

The sermons of Haggai led to the restoration of the Temple. There are three themes in his messages encouragement, warning, and hope, the secret to understanding the response of the people and their willingness to resume work on the Temple.

God often uses a single voice to stir the hearts of his people. These prophetic voices often come at crucial points. • The Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s inspiring oratory is believed to have helped save Britain in WWII. • On November 2, 1863, several months after the battle of Gettysburg ...read more

Put a marker in Matthew 4 and turn with me to 2 Peter 1.

John Ed Pearce, long-time writer for the Courier-Journal, stated, “Home is a place you grow up wanting to leave, and grow old wanting to get back to.” I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Searching for Home,” and I’m addressing this topic ...read more
