    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 8, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 11,644 views

    Research has proven how powerful a human touch is. Since that's true, imagine how powerful the touch of Jesus is, the effect it can have on people, and how we can be part of God’s touching the world!

    THE TOUCH OF JESUS Mark 1:29–37 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Uncle Irv needed 3 million dollars to clinch an important real estate deal. 2. So he went to a local synagogue to pray for the money.

    When we think about the Ninevites we generally think of two things:

    (1) First we think of Jonah, who was swallowed by a large fish because he refused to obey the Lord’s command to go preach to them. (2) Secondly we think of their ranking with the most wicked people who ever lived on earth. Illus: Once the Ninevites would capture a town they committed ...read more

    The Surety Of The Truth

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jan 25, 2022
     | 1,716 views

    False teachers will attempt to mess up the truth about Christ. Their primary goal is to deceive. God's word, however, declares who Christ is and what He has done. We can know the truth!

    We've been involved in a series of messages concerning what we can be sure of. We have found so far that we can be sure of God's forgiveness if we ask. And we can be sure of a relationship with God if we walk daily with Him. Today I want to take it one step further. Can we be sure of ...read more

    Using the Prayer of Jabez as a means of drawing closer to God

    Drawing Closer to God The Prayer of Jabez 1 Chronicles 4:9-10 For the past few weeks we’ve been looking at the Lord’s Prayer as a prayer to help us move closer to God and experience His grace and power. As I’ve said, most of us struggle with experiencing that power and presence of God. So, It’s ...read more

     | 612 views

    The murder of the Innocents shows us how the Lord works his plan in his own way. Christmas brings evil on its heels that the LORD deals with.

    12.28.25 Matthew 2:13–18 13 After the Wise Men were gone, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared to Joseph in a dream. He said, “Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt.

    The Story Of The Wise Men

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jan 10, 2026
     | 54 views

    The wise men are a great example to us today, to be SEEKERS, WORSHIPPERS and, when necessary, REBELS.

    PART 1: INTRODUCTION People have been intrigued by the story of the wise men who visited the infant Jesus from the earliest days of the church. Long ago, people carefully kept the bones of the wise men. They’re now in a huge, gilded shrine in Cologne Cathedral. Some of the greatest painters in ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 11, 2026
     | 17 views

    The perceptive preacher will challenge with the same scriptures BY WHICH HE HIMSELF IS STIRRED UP, otherwise preaching has become a farce and is empty. A man can not preach a word to touch others if he, himself, has not been touched initially by the word he preaches.

    4. THOUGHTS IN 2 PETER - NUMBER FOUR - STIRRERS IN THE LORD – PETER IS A CORRECT STIRRER - 2 PETER 3:1-2 PART 1 – THE INTRODUCTION We live in the days of professional stirrers. These agitators seem to be found at every protest, whether it be political, environmental, “gay rights”, mining ...read more

     | 1,230 views

    Why do we need to fix our mind’s eyes on His Divine Radiance, especially during this holy week? Or, what can we experience, if we gaze on the Excellence of His qualities?

    “Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. During supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of ...read more

    This is a sermon series for the six Sundays of Lent. I am using a wooden "Tau" cross on the platform and some examples of the instruments of torture the Romans used - a large spike, scourge/cat of 9 tails, spear, and crown of thorns. There is a teaching sheet below the sermon.

    Jesus is the Good Shepherd to speaks lovingly to his sheep, holding them in His hands.

    5.11.25 John 10:22–30 22 Then the Festival of Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was walking in the temple area in Solomon’s Colonnade. 24 So the Jews gathered around Jesus, asking, “How long will you keep us in suspense?

    If we do almost nothing for our children but give them a great marriage, then that counts for more than anything else. But to do that, you have to have guardrails.

    We are in Part Four of Guardrails. Everybody knows what a guardrail is. If you’ve been with us, you know that basically what we’ve done is we’ve taken the idea of a guardrail that we’re familiar with and see every single day, and we’ve come up with a parallel idea as ...read more

    Our work is different when we are supervised than when we are not, but our character and commitment are measured thereby. We can be Matthias, who accepted an assignment he did not seek, with joy; or Joseph Justus, who failed to get that same assignment,

    When you can see your supervisor, you work. When you cannot see him, your work style is likely to slow down. The difference between those two things is the measure of your character and your commitment. When you can see your supervisor, you work diligently. You work hard; you get the ...read more
