    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Oct 29, 2018
     | 4,666 views

    Last week we looked at the difference between worshiping false gods and the one, true God as well as looking at the differences between the false gospel and the real gospel. Today, I will focus on how Jesus is the real thing and Satan is not.

    THE REAL THING (part two) Recap: Last week we looked at the difference between worshiping false gods and the one, true God. We saw God warning his people to not have images of God or to worship idols of wood and stone. And God told them what would happen if they did. He told them they would find ...read more

    You may be rejected right from God's body! Hard to believe or imagine? When we are lukewarm, He'll do it... Spue You Go!

    I know… Spue doesn’t even seem like a word, right? I mean, maybe it should be spelled spew, or something. Well, the word spew is pretty close to the context of this writing, but spue is actually the word Jesus used to describe just how aggressively He will reject you! Wait… Jesus rejects ...read more

    At a place called Ebenezer, Israel lost 34,000 men and their faith in God. After 20 years of misery, they faced the same battlefield and the same enemy. But this time they had victory. Did God want them defeated the first time? No! And God never meant for YOU to lose either!

    GOD NEVER MEANT FOR YOU TO LOSE 1 Sam 7:2-13 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: B. TEXT 4:1Now Israel went out to battle against the Philistines, and encamped beside Ebenezer. 2 Israel was defeated by the Philistines, who killed about four thousand men.

     | 7,232 views

    We might think that the 70 years Judah spent in exile is a long time for the people to be under the anger of God. However the post exile events and interactions between God and His people demonstrates that God graciously limited His punishment to only 70 years. God is a forgiving God.

    Jexit: Judah Comes Home The 70 Year Limit A sermon on Ezra 6:13-18 The last time we looked at what was happening to the returned Exiles it was the 7th December 518BC. And Zechariah was talking with the Jews about the fact that the Lord was giving them the opportunity to move forward. The past, ...read more

    The Present State Of Israel Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 23, 2020
     | 3,233 views

    We have seen the present state of Israel; they are lost. That is their condition today. They are lost just as the Gentiles are lost. The reason is that Christ is the end of the law of righteousness. Now Paul turns from the sovereignty of God to the responsibility of man.

    (34) The Present State of Israel Romans 10:1-4 Scripture 1 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness that they have a but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to ...read more

    Psalms 14 And 53 Series

     | 6,210 views

    Psalms 14 and 53 are similar to each other, having only minor differences in the mode of expressing the same thoughts. This sermon studies the two passages in parallel, slightly enlarging the understanding of their combined content.

In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated. I had too often swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as ...read more
