Sermons on Hebrews 5:8-9:

Jesus Christ: Our Model Of Suffering

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 20, 2022

In the eighteenth chapter of John's gospel, we are presented with the beginnings of the sufferings that the Lord Jesus would undergo for the sake of our redemption, paying a debt He did not owe for fallen humanity who could never pay it.

Several years ago, I came across a televangelist who peddled the ungodly "word-of-faith", or "prosperity" gospel that is poisoning the body of Christ in these last days. One of the "sales pitches" (and that is the only means by which I can define it) these folks ...read more

The Faith That Saves Part 1 Series

Contributed by Kiruba Stephen on May 2, 2022

What is meant by faith in the Bible and how can we know that we are truly saved, that we have the genuine faith that is acceptable and well-pleasing unto God?

Blessed Lord, we thank You Father once again; thank you Lord, for giving us the opportunity to worship in your presence. You know Father, all about our internal makeup Lord, things we go through during the day Father, during the week Lord; and You are gracious to allow us sufficient time, time to ...read more

The Truth Shall Make You Free!

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 25, 2022

One of Jesus' better-known statements is recorded for us in John 8:32. Some see this as political freedom, but it goes much further, for it describes Jesus Himself and the power to set us free from the oppression of sin.

When we think of the concept of freedom, we here in America refer to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights that guarantee us freedom of religion, freedom of the press, the right to address our grievances, the right to bear arms, the freedom to assemble peacefully, and the right to legal ...read more

Mysterious Melchizedek Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 8, 2022

One Scottish preacher, Bill Freel said, “If you grasp the significance of Melchizedek you have entered into a spiritual wonderland”. In Genesis 14 Melchizedek is observed historically. In Psalm 110 Melchizedek is spoken of prophetically and in Hebrews 5 & 7 Melchizedek is applied doctrinally.

Intro Here is a question in recognizing greatness. Who was the greatest man of the Old Testament? The answer might surprise you. It is Melchizedek. Wow and he is only mentioned twice in the Old Testament Genesis 14:18-20 and Psalms 110:4. We get a little more about this mysterious king found in ...read more

Lessons About Jesus From A Priest Named Mel Series

Contributed by Perry Fowler on Nov 8, 2023

Melchizedek.... Hebrew kids heard about him all the time. His story was familiar but what does this old priest tell us about the greater Priest; Jesus. He's got a lot to say.

The Bible is by far the most unique and amazing books on planet earth. I especially love the Old Testament stories. As a child I remember my mother reading me the Old Testament Bible Stories at night at bedtime. As a boy, I was mesmerized by the stories and still are to this day. My favorite ...read more

Awake In Gethsemane

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 13, 2026

Jesus’ agony in Gethsemane reveals the cost of salvation and shows that Easter hope rests on His obedience, not ours.

Every Easter weekend, we gather to celebrate life. We sing resurrection songs. We dress a little brighter. We speak words like hope, victory, and new beginnings. And rightly so — Easter is the great declaration that death does not get the final word. Easter did not begin in a garden filled with ...read more

Part 1: The Hidden God (Deus Absconditus) Series

Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 20, 2026

Where is God when prayers go unanswered and suffering remains? This sermon walks through Job 23 to reveal what God is doing when He seems absent.

There is a particular kind of loneliness that comes not from isolation, but from silence in the midst of relationship. A spouse who refuses to speak. A parent who withholds explanation. A trusted friend who goes quiet when you need them most. And perhaps most troubling of all, a God who seems ...read more

Part 2: The Refiner's Fire (Divine Refinement And Trust) Series

Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 20, 2026

In the last sermon, we explored the mystery of God's hiddenness. We acknowledged that God is often silent and our hearts cry out for Him to speak. But silence, we learned, does not mean absence. God is hidden from our perception, but not withdrawn from His work.

Today, we turn to perhaps the most difficult question of all. If God is silent and yet still working, what exactly is He doing? What is the purpose of the silence? Why does God allow us to walk through seasons where prayer seems unanswered, where Scripture feels distant, where we cannot sense His ...read more

The Mind Of Christ

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Dec 30, 2025

Devil came from heaven, Christ also came from heaven The Devil knew God as an arch angel before his falling, Christ also knew God, His Father. Then how, that arch angel became the devil and Christ became the saviour?

Many claim to have known God but living a life controlled by demons and devil with the attitude of devil. Many may say, no we are not like devil- but Jesus even called Pharisees and the religious people who claim to be God’s children- children of devil (John 8:44) Why does He say that? Because ...read more

Part 3: Silence As Spiritual Refinement Series

Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 21, 2026

Job sits in ashes demanding answers from God. But instead of anger, he declares: "When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold." This sermon unpacks what that means. God isn't punishing you in the silence. God is refining you.

The Shift from Lament to Hope Something shifts in Job 23:10. After pages and pages of complaint, after rounds of friends insisting, he must have sinned, after crying out into a silent heaven, Job suddenly changes direction. Picture him there. Sitting in ashes. Scraping his skin with a broken piece ...read more
