From Dust To Dust Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 24, 2021

Adam faced a terrible punishment when he was sentenced to return to dust, but God forbid that we ignore the changes made by Christ, and continue to live on the level of that judgment "From dust to dust."

The Sunday School teacher was introducing his lesson on heaven by asking his boys if they wanted to go to heaven. One boy said, "Not me!" The teacher was shocked and asked, "You mean to tell me you don't want to go to heaven when you die?" "When I die? O, sure !" ...read more

3. Pre-Christmas Song Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 26, 2021

Pre-Christmas singing should characterize us as believers. Even those who cannot carry a tune can enjoy music, for love always produces some kind of song.

At an evening of musical entertainment one of the guests was not impressed with the woman who was singing. He leaned over to the man next to him and said, "What an awful voice. I wonder who she is?" "She is my wife," was the stiff reply." "Oh, I'm sorry," he ...read more

A Happy Ending Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 1, 2021

Job is saying, now he really knows God, and has a great concept of God. He, like so many, had dragged God down into the realm of mere words. God was a subject in theology to be explained, instead of a person to be encountered.

Job is one of the masterpieces of world literature. It is studied today even in secular colleges, and students are required to write papers comparing Job's sufferings with those of the Greek god Prometheus. I know this, because I just recently loaned a commentary on Job to my neighbor who had ...read more

Scripture: Job 42:1-6

A Word To The Wise Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

The truth is just as true when spoken by a sinner as by a saint. Never dismiss a truth because of its source. A tin cup carries water as well as a gold one, and you can be refreshed out of either vessel.

The legend is told of a flock of crows who had an awful battle with a farmer over a corn field. It came to the point when every time they returned he shot at them. They assembled on the edge of the woods and took council. One young an vigorous crow trust out his chest and said, "As far as I ...read more

Scripture: Proverbs 1:1-4

The Fear Of God Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 9, 2021

The word fear in relation to God can mean very opposite things. There is a fear of God which is terror at his might and wrath, and there is a fear of God which is reverence, or worship. There is still another which is knowledge and wisdom of God.

We live in a world where words are weapons. Someone said, "Words are weapons and we must wield them well if we would win." Much of the success of cons and cults is the direct result of their clever use of words. So many arguments are often based on a perverted manipulation of words, but ...read more

Scripture And Suicide Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 9, 2021

Suicide is almost always folly in our culture, for it is basically just a means of escape. It is usually based on ignorance of the future. People think their present situation is permanent, and they cannot stand to think of living with their present burden for the rest of their lives.

The book of Jonah gives a very favorable account of the attitude and character of the pagans involved. In fact, they are at points pictured on a higher level than Jonah himself. At last, however, we see a change in Jonah, and some of his good character breaks through. The sailors had all ...read more

Learning how to live a life of generosity.

“The Secret of a Generous Life” Introduction: Just what exactly is a generous life? Obviously we need to begin with a definition.

Faithful To Intercede Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 28, 2021

Prayer is the most powerful tool believers possess, but it is often little used. We have access to the throne of grace, enjoying the ability and privilege to make our requests known unto Christ our King. We must take advantage of this blessed privilege.

Faithful to Intercede Esther 5: 1-8 These were certainly troubling times for Mordecai, Esther, and the entire Jewish population within the Persian Empire. Haman had influenced Ahasuerus to sign a decree, calling for the complete destruction of the Jews within the kingdom. Although they were shaken ...read more

Love That Conquers The World (May 6, 2018)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on May 3, 2021

The Gospel is not about a competition. The Gospel is about becoming victorious over the things that hinder God’s plans---God’s will for our lives and our roles in winning others to Jesus Christ!

LOVE THAT CONQUERS THE WORLD Text: I John 5:1 - 6 1 John 5:1-6  (ESV) Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him.  (2)  By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God ...read more

The Minister Of Mayhem Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 5, 2021

Believers are aware of the adversary we face in this walk of faith. Since the fall of Adam, Satan has sought to hinder and defeat believers. He has power and influence, but like all of creation, Satan must submit to the sovereign power of God.

The Minister of Mayhem Esther 5: 9-14 Our text today follows Esther’s entrance before the king. She was received of Ahasuerus and promised that her request would be granted. She had invited Ahasuerus and Haman to a small banquet that served as an invitation to a larger banquet the following day – ...read more

Love Is Relational

Contributed by Jim Keegan on May 8, 2021

Love is all about relationships. The cross itself speaks of the two dimensions of love, vertical and horizontal, divine and human love. And where they intersect most powerfully is in relationships.

Love is Relational John 21:15-17 (Read text.) I remember hearing missionaries to the Congo talking about the need for long-term missions, especially the importance of learning the language and the culture of the people. “Language and culture are important,” they said, “because they facilitate ...read more

Mothers Of Messiah-Bathsheba Of Jerusalem Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on May 14, 2021

The Scriptures don't say much about Bathsheba except what's mentioned in connection with her relationship with David and his family. Even so, she had the privilege of being one of the mothers of the Messiah.

Introduction: The line of Messiah Jesus began with Abraham, then Isaac, followed by Jacob and Jacob’s son Judah. Of course each man had children by his wife; except for Judah’s twin sons Pharez and Zerah who were born to his daughter-in-law Tamar of Canaan (see Genesis 38). Rahab was a prostitute ...read more

Wisdom Versus Foolishness

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 1, 2021

This sermon is about man's foolishness versus God's wisdom and the cross. Later into the sermon this question "Whose fool are you?' is asked several times.

WISDOM VERSUS FOOLISHNESS Text: I Corinthians 1:18 – 25   For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.  (19)  For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment ...read more
