    Confidence Within The Chaos

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jul 26, 2016
     | 14,559 views

    Life is filled with uncertainty. In fact, life can be chaotic at times. It is easy to lose focus and stumble among the chaos. Fortunately, we do not have to succumb to the uncertainties; we can overcome in Christ.

    Confidence within the Chaos John 16: 32-33 We have read a passage from one of my favorite sections of Scripture. Beginning in chapter thirteen, and going through chapter seventeen of John, we find an intimate account of the last hours Jesus spent with His disciples prior to His arrest, trial, and ...read more

    The Crowd

    The Messiah was rejected by his people, not merely by the powers to be. He had been rejected long before this day.

    Matthew 27:15-26 The Crowd 4/8/04MT D. Marion Clark Introduction We have been considering characters in the passion story asking the question, Who is responsible? Who is responsible for Jesus’ death? We’ve examined the roles that the disciples, the religious leaders, Herod, and Pilate each ...read more

    Persecution And Thanksgiving

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 22, 2016
     | 4,191 views

    Believers in many parts of the world are suffering persecution ranging from mild oppression to beheadings while we in the west seem to waltz through life without giving this persecution a second thought. What should we make of this disparity?

    Matthew 24:4-14 – please look this up in your Bibles. We will read this passage in a moment … The first and second Sundays of November have been designated as the International Days of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. But since we were away the first Sunday of November at a District ...read more

    A Profitable Endeavor

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 23, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,102 views

    Many today seek the latest method for spiritual renewal among the church, and church growth. There are countless new conferences, books, and blog articles annually. While I appreciate the hunger for growth, I fear we have over-complicated the matter.

    A Profitable Endeavor Acts 8: 5-8 Our text today deals with a time of great excitement for the early church, and yet there was great uncertainty as well. Stephen had been stoned for preaching the Gospel. Saul continued to persecute the church, scattering them throughout the world, but they ...read more

    Go! Compel Them To Come In

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Nov 27, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 27,847 views

    Jesus used a parable regarding a great supper to illustrate the eternal truths of salvation. In this parable, He emphasized our responsibility in reaching the unsaved. We must be willing to go into the highways and hedges of life, compelling them to come.

    Go! Compel them to Come In Luke 14:23 Our text verse comes from a parable of our Lord, where once again He addressed the hypocrisy and self-righteous arrogance of the Pharisees. Having dealt with their teachings regarding the Sabbath and their desire for recognition, one of them spoke of the ...read more

    The Reality Of His Birth

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,244 views

    As we prepare for Christmas, we must not be guilty of leaving Jesus in the manger. While I am thankful for His birth in Bethlehem, I also rejoice for Calvary. Jesus came with purpose - to die for our sin and reconcile us to God. He was born to die.

    The Reality of His Birth John 12: 27; 32 We are entering that wonderful time of year surrounding Christmas. No doubt it continues to generate a lot of excitement among young and old. Although we have heard it countless times, we never tire of hearing the marvelous account of our Lord’s ...read more

     | 11,778 views

    The church faces many difficulties and obstacles while serving the Lord. While these are unavoidable, we do not have to allow them to defeat us. We must maintain our focus on the Lord and follow the vision He has provided.

    A Vision of Purpose Ephesians 3: 20-21 The church at Ephesus was dear to Paul. His ministry among them spanned three years. The church there began with just twelve believers (Acts 19:7), but through faithful effort they experienced amazing growth. Knowing the success in Ephesus, Paul desired them ...read more

    The Submission Of The Servant Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 15, 2017
     | 8,758 views

    Jesus came as the promised Messiah. His baptism signaled the beginning of His public ministry, which was followed by His triumph over temptation in the wilderness. We have victory through Him. He submitted to God's will to purchase our redemption.

    The Submission of the Servant Mark 1: 9-15 Our text today reveals what most consider the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry. Up until this point, even in the other Gospels, we have very little detail about the life of Jesus. From this moment on, Jesus will live His life in public scrutiny. ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 12,635 views

    As Jesus began His ministry, one of the first priorities was to assemble a team of men to serve alongside Him, men He could teach and equip to carry on the work of the church. The Lord is still seeking those who will follow Him in service.

    Assembling a Team Mark 1: 16-20 Following His baptism, wilderness temptation, and public introduction in Galilee, Jesus continued His work here on earth. One of the first priorities was to assemble a team of men to walk with Him, whom He could teach and prepare for ministry. In our text Jesus ...read more

    In selecting additional shepherds (elders) for our congregation, we need to be aware of the way in which the Lord leads his people. Psalm 23 gives us insight into the compassionate leadership of Jesus.
