The Great Tribulation Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 1, 2022

This will be a day like there has never been before. This time of intense trouble will go on longer than we want and it will be more intense than we want. Jesus seems to tell us that this time of mega affliction or Great Tribulation will be just before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

When the book of Daniel opened, we met a young man, no more than a middle-school-aged student. Now, as Daniel closes, we see a man who is advanced in years and probably around his mid-80s. Daniel has dared to stand alone for God in a hostile environment. He has clearly shown us that a powerful ...read more

Great Supper

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 17, 2022

This is certainly an interesting text. The Lord has done three things that has caused this to be a very tense moment.

He has: - Healed a man against the approval of the religious leaders. - Dealt with the guest who had a manner problem. - Corrected the host. This passage of Scripture shows us a situation that the old farmers used to have a saying for. They would have said, “The Lord had ‘cleaned their plow,’ ...read more

Herod The Great Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 24, 2022

Herod's despotic rule has been demonstrated by many of his security measures to suppress his people's contempt towards him, especially Jews. For instance, it has been suggested that Herod used secret police to monitor and report the feelings of the general populace toward him.

The Great Commission

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Feb 21, 2022

From three of the gospel writers we find “four” accounts of the Great Commission. As we examine each account, we gain a better understanding of what Jesus requires, and what we are able to accomplish through the Lord’s power.

This morning we are going to look at four separate passages on what is known among believers as The Great Commission. The Great Commission is all about missions, since the word “commission” contains the word “mission” in it. Now, that word “commission” means, “charge, order, or mandate.”(1) This ...read more

The Christian life is as good as it gets, with its promise of greater love, joy and peace. Those rewards, and more, are there for everyone who actively follows Christ and lives their faith in the spirit of the great adventure it was always meant to be.

Kingdom Greatness

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jul 18, 2024

“Whoever humbles themselves like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven”. It is giving up claims to power and status and knowing one’s total dependence on God that counts as greatness in the kingdom of heaven.

Sermon: The Path to Kingdom Greatness Scripture: Matthew 18:1-11 “About that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?” Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them.

What Is Greatness?

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 10, 2024

Jesus our God came to serve. And even to die, to give his life as a ransom for many! To die for us, to empty himself of divine power and authority and serve those in need. That is true greatness.

I recall a meme I saw online, it had a picture of a janitorial supply cart and it said, "Called to ministry? This will be your first pulpit." Truer words were never spoken. My first five years in ministry I mopped a lot of floors, and believe me, I expect more floors in the future. ...read more

The Great Apostasy Series

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Aug 8, 2023

Study #2: When we look around us, it seems that more and more people are leaving the church. Why? This passage of Scripture explains the reason why, and alerts us to a trend that will occur just before the Rapture.

NOTE: This Bible study on the end times comes from the perspective of a pre-tribulation Rapture. Before we talk about the Rapture, we need to look at something called “The Great Apostacy.” In Hebrews 10:23-25, we read, “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who ...read more
