    If you want to grow to full maturity in life, respect God's discipline; don't reject it.

    A mechanic accidentally swallowed some brake fluid and really liked the taste. Before he knew it, he had finished off the whole bottle. One of his co-workers caught him sneaking a swig the next day. “Man, that stuff will kill you,” said his friend, “you've got to give it up.” “Don't worry,” the ...read more

  • Solid Faith: Best Way To Avoid The Slippery Slope Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 17, 2018
     | 4,975 views

    The road to deeper faith comes through contemplating the Word, the discipline God sends our way or allows, and faithful perseverance. This deeper faith helps us resist the "slippery slope."

    Solid Faith: Best Way to Avoid the Slippery Slope (Hebrews 12:1-17) 1. A mother asked her son, “What did you learn about or do in school today?” Son replied, “We studied explosives and even made some.” “Really?” the mom responded. “And what will you do at school tomorrow?” The boy answered, “What ...read more

  • Divine Chastisement

    Contributed by Luther Sexton on Mar 22, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,420 views

    Christians are not punished for sins. God's people can never by any possibility be punished for their sins, for God has already punished them at the cross.

    DIVINE CHASTISEMENT "Despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him" Heb 12:5 I. Divine Punishments vs. Divine Chastisement A. Importance to draw a distinction for 1. The honor and glory of God 2. The peace of mind of the Christian B. ...read more

  • Just Like Us (Part Seven) Series

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Mar 25, 2019
     | 5,348 views

    Today we close out the series on seeing how the people of the bible are just like us. We've looked at Abraham, Samson, Elijah, Joshua, David, and last week we focused on Peter. Today, we'll finish by looking at Paul. Let's see how he was just like us.

    JUST LIKE US (part seven) Last week we looked at Peter. Peter was the foremost of the Apostles. He was a leader and devout follower of Jesus. He withstood persecution and was bold and courageous in contending for the faith. Tradition indicates that Peter met his fate being crucified upside down ...read more

  • How To Follow Jesus--Though Persecuted Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jun 8, 2021
     | 2,483 views

    How we regard difficulties and persecutions will have everything to do with whether we respond positively or negatively to them. Surprising to us, the very things designed by men to destroy faith cause it to thrive, when we have a godly attitude.

    Jeanie and I recently read a book with a provocative name—The Insanity of God—by the pseudonymous author Nip Ripken. Of course, the title elicits the question, what is insane about God—a question the author never directly answers, but only becomes evident upon contemplation of his message. It ...read more

  • Receiving The Lord’s Chastening

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 8, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,431 views

    God chastens us for our own good. However, usually, when we are going through His chastening we resist the Lord with all of our might. But this passage shows how it would be beneficial to receive the Lord’s chastening.

    I have entitled our message this evening, “Receiving the Lord’s Chastening,” and I wish to begin by sharing an illustration entitled, “God’s Loving Kick”: A Norfolk-Southern train was rolling down the rails of Indiana at 24 miles per hour. Suddenly the conductor, Robert Mohr, spotted an object ...read more

  • Discipline From Three Perspectives

  • God’s Wisdom Is Health For The Whole Body

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Nov 21, 2021
     | 2,365 views

    Either our heart is slowly being filled with evil things, or gradually being filled with good. One heart condition ends in death, the other leads to life. So guard your heart! Then God will bless your life, from the inside out.

    Some of us are involved in health care. In our church, we have nurses and others who work at nearby hospitals or nursing homes. Health and wellness are their daily focus. But health is vital for everyone, of course. We should all give it attention. How do you care for the body God has given you? Do ...read more

  • Suffering Saints

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Jun 20, 2022
     | 1,537 views

    Suffering is hard to handle. It is easier when it is us going through it and not our loved ones, but it is still hard.

    Suffering is hard to handle. None of us like it. Usually, we can handle it better in ourselves than having to watch friends and loved ones go through it. We were just like our children, and we ask why not only for ourselves but for others. If they're not careful, we try to inform others why ...read more

  • Pondering God’s Goodness

    Contributed by Richard Tow on May 3, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,835 views

    Quality worship experience is dependent upon biblical principles. This message examines some of those principles as stated in Psalm 65.

    We take as our text today, Psalm 65. In the Bible God has given us a healthy spiritual balance of truth. Some portions of Scripture warn and correct. In Psalm 19:7-11 David celebrated this. He wrote, “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making ...read more

  • Flawed Yet Favored Series

    We can all relate to the inconsistencies in Samson's life to at least some degree. In this message we learn about the anointing of God; the consequences of sin and the potential benefits of God's correction, and the grace of God and how God's redemptive mercy.

    We are learning from the life of Samson as recorded in Judges 13-16. In your personal time I encourage you to read those four chapters since we can’t take time to do that in these two sermons. Last week we examined the call God placed on Samson’s life before he was born. We saw the connection ...read more

  • Unexpected Events (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 7, 2021
     | 3,532 views

    Message analyzes the incident in Exodus 4:24-26 when God sought to kill Moses. Why were God's dealings so severe when he was on his way to Egypt to do what God told him to do at the burning bush? What lessons can the Christian draw from this story?

    Before we get into the message, I want to mention an opportunity we have in this season. Tomorrow, September 6th at sunset begins the Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah). That also launces the annual Ten Days of Awe on the Jewish calendar which culminates on September 16th with Yom Kippur, the Day of ...read more

  • Heaven Exists

    Contributed by Dennis King on Sep 22, 2021
     | 2,489 views

    Yes, heaven exists but the description of the three (or more) levels of heaven are illusive. Also, do we have bodies there? Are we conscious? Do we have tactile feelings similar to what we experience now?

    Heaven Exists Before we get into the existence of heaven, let's consider exactly when do we go? As with numerous Biblical topics, many churches, under Christianity's umbrella, have different beliefs on these topics. The following are my thoughts as reinforced by the specified verses from ...read more

    Despise not the chastening of the LORD.

    THE HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN. Hebrews 12:4-17. After impressing us with the heroes of the Faith (Hebrews 11:4-40), the writer encourages us to persevere in the race that is set before us, looking away from our difficulties ‘unto JESUS, the author and finisher’, the pioneer and perfecter, the ...read more

  • Church Discipline – Spanking Ourselves So God Doesn’t Have To – Part 2

    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Sep 28, 2020
     | 2,030 views

    This week we will be introduced to the steps or the process of church discipline.

    Because God loves us, He disciplines us… (Heb 12:3 NKJV) For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls. (Heb 12:4 NKJV) You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin. (Heb 12:5 NKJV) And you have ...read more
