Israel: God's Chosen People...still? (Pt. 1 Of 2) Series

Contributed by Matt Tison on Dec 5, 2023

On October 7th, 2023, the Palestinian terror group, Hamas, opened a gruesome and brutal attack upon Israel. Innocent people, from both nations, are still dying. This has led to many asking the question, will God still preserve His people, Israel?

The Nazis established Auschwitz in 1940 in the Polish suburbs, building a complex of camps that became central to Hitler’s pursuit of a “Final Solution to the Jewish question.” Nazis would end up murdering over 6 million Jews throughout the holocaust. As prisoners arrived, young children, elderly, ...read more

The Parable Of The Five Wise And Five Foolish Bridesmaids

Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 14, 2024

Five Wise and Five Foolish Bridesmaids

Today, as we read in the Gospel Jesus’ parable about the Ten Bridesmaids, I couldn’t but reminisce two memorable experiences I had in September 2013. First, my experience of visiting the Holy Land during the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah. Rosh Hashanah is one of Judaism’s holiest days. It ...read more

Thank You, God For Dad, Mum, Grand And Great-Grand Pas And Mas

Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 14, 2024

Thanking God for our God-fearing fathers, mothers, and grand- and great-grandparents, who, living and departed, instilled in us the faith.

In Western Christianity, this day (July 26th) is celebrated as the “feast of grandparents.” This feast began with the earliest church traditions, which marked the maternal grandparents of Jesus, Joachim, and Anne. A little bit later, in about the third and fourth centuries, the universal church ...read more

Traditions And Customs

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Sep 8, 2025

There are things in this chapter that cause issues with people. Nevertheless, it is included in God's Word. And that means it is profitable to us for doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction.

Alba 9-7-2025 TRADITIONS AND CUSTOMS I Corinthians 11:1-16 Last week I began my message saying that the church in Corinth had a lot of problems. That is the reason that the apostle Paul wrote to them, both to correct some things they were doing, and also to give some guidance as to how best to ...read more

Twenty-Four Carat Faith

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 11, 2025

We don’t have to suffer for our faith. But we do have to live for it. And if we never grate against a sinful world, how true to Christ are we being?

Peter is one of my favorite Bible characters. He’s the one who always opens his mouth before his brain has switched into gear and that’s a failing I have a lot of sympathy with. Remember when the disciples were alone on the boat out in the middle of the Sea of Galilee and they saw Jesus walking ...read more

Turning Fear Into Joy

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Feb 21, 2024

If we think about it, if we go through a fearful time in our life, when all turns out okay and are settled, we tend to be joyful.

For the past 3 weeks, we have been talking about having a reverent fear of God, about feeling secure from fear in the arms of God, and replacing our fear with courage. Today, we are going to talk about bringing it all together and turning our fears into joy. If we think about it, if we go through ...read more

"Even So Faith, If It Hath Not Works, Is Dead...” (James 1:17)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 20, 2024

As we drive around town, we see signs on store windows and commercial building that state…NOW HIRING!

• We are told today by the business world it is difficult to hire people to work. • And we are also told those who are hired it is difficult to get them to work once they are hired. This is also a problem we have in many churches today. However, this is not a big problem in this church because ...read more

Humility Of Christ

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 24, 2024

In our text we see the Lord Jesus loving men who did not deserve it. Luke (22:24) tells us that at the Lord’s Supper, just after Jesus announced that one of them would betray Him, the disciples got into a dispute about which of them was the greatest.

Opening illustration: We all can relate to Linus in the “Peanuts” cartoon strip when he shouts in frustration, “I love mankind; it’s people I can’t stand!” It’s easy to love the human race in the abstract, but when it comes to loving specific irritating people that I can’t avoid, the process ...read more

Sermon # 17 - Stop Striving - Start Trusting Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 16, 2024

While Jonah the prophet of God thought of no one but himself, the mariners who were unbelievers were so concerned about him. The church needs to be filled with those who have compassion for the lost, who depend on entirely on the Lord and lead many into His Kingdom.

We read in Jonah 1:11-14, The storm was getting worse all the time, so the sailors asked him, “What should we do to you to stop the storm?” Jonah answered, “Throw me into the sea, and it will calm down. I know it is my fault that you are caught in this violent storm.” Instead, the sailors tried to ...read more

The Last Mourning

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Dec 25, 2025

We cannot imagine what Mary Magdalene must have felt that long ago Easter morning. But maybe we should try.

They have taken him away. They have taken my Lord away. Why did they have to do it? Wasn't it enough to kill him? Why did they have to steal his body? He isn't any threat to them any more, if he ever was, and neither are we. Why couldn't they just leave us alone to tend his grave? ...read more

Give Up Hope

Contributed by John Covell on Oct 17, 2001

My goal is for you to become hopeless-give up hope of changing the past, give up hope of changing what others have done to us, and give up hope of changing ourselves.

Hopeless. Have you ever felt like that? Totally without hope? You tried everything you could think of, you’re at the end of your rope, with no more solutions in sight and you wonder—am I hopeless? Now, I hope that the video and the actors didn’t make you think we’re down on counseling—we’re not. I ...read more

The Mystery Man With No Room Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Dec 14, 2004

Today we move to an unnamed mystery man. We established that the first verses in Matthew’s gospel are perhaps the most neglected in the New Testament; and this morning we’re going to look at one of the most widely known sections of Scripture.

Three years ago I began a message with a Christmas Quiz. I recently came across some additional questions to test our knowledge of the Nativity. 1. Jesus was born in what town? a. Jerusalem b. Nazareth c. Bethlehem d. Milwaukee 2. Why didn’t Joseph and Mary stay at the inn? a. It was too ...read more
