    Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 10, 2019
     | 4,534 views

    Gideon’s battle plan appears to have been carefully worked out, but whether it was beholden to his spiritual illumination we cannot say. But what we can say is that his methods were a type of psychological warfare.

    Chapter 25 How Gideon Formed His Attack on the Enemy Camp [Judges 7.16-7.20] Scripture 16 And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers. 17 And he said unto them, Look on me, and do ...read more

    History of the sanctuary and how we should reverance and worship in church today.

    WHAT IS THE SANCTUARY? Every week we come to this holy place of worship. We call it a church, but in reality it is the Lord’s Sanctuary. Do we really know the significance of this building and more importantly, this particular room? Do we know what God’s design was for the sanctuary as well as ...read more

    Faith And Healing

    Contributed by William Mouser on Aug 2, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,595 views

    Two miracles of healing show us how faith and healing relate to one another in Jesus’ ministry.

    Psalm 112, Deuteronomy 15:7-11, 2 Corinthians 8:1-9,13-15, Mark 5:22-24,35b-43 Faith and healing I’m not sure how the gospel lesson for today got paired with two readings on giving. Even the Psalm for today contains the lines “ 5 A good man deals graciously and lends...” and “He has given to the ...read more

    Why Did Jesus Teach In Parables?

    Contributed by William Mouser on Jul 24, 2005
    based on 8 ratings
     | 9,184 views

    By teaching in parables, Jesus simultaneously revealed truths to his disciples, and concealed truth about himself from those whose hardened hearts had already rejected it.

    Isaiah 6:1-10, Romans 11:1-11, Matt. 13:1-3, 10-16 Why Parables? In preparation for today’s homily, I went to Amazon on the internet and punched up all the titles they had with the word “parable” in them. I got about a thousand hits. Next, I requested a listing of all the titles they had ...read more

    From the text of the Olivet Discourse in Mark 13, this sermon explains that while we cannot know the precise day and hour of Jesus’ return, it is possible to see the end of the age approaching.

    Is Jesus Coming Back Soon? Mark 13:24-37 Mark Chapter 13, along with Matthew Chapter 24, record Christ’s teaching in what is known as the Olivet Discourse. It gets that name because Jesus was at the Mount of Olives, preparing his disciples for his impending passion, and Peter, James, John, and ...read more

    The Holy Innocents

    Contributed by William Mouser on Jan 10, 2006
    based on 15 ratings
     | 26,201 views

    This jarring episode is just as much a part of the Christmas season as the manger scene. Though grim, the fate of the Innocents shows us how and why we share the hope they had in Christ’s second advent

    Psalm 124, Jeremiah 3:15-17, Revelation 21:1-7, Matthew 2:13-18 The Holy Innocents The Gospel lesson that is read today is actually from the lectionary for the Feast of the Holy Innocents, which in the liturgical calendar is celebrated on December 28 – four days ago.

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,469 views

    Sometimes we do not hear what God is saying to us unless we hear what he is not saying to us. To understand, we need now to go through some highs and some lows, especially the valley of the shadow of death to appreciate what a loving God we have. Read on.

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Aug 8, 2013
     | 3,886 views

    Every time a believer comes to faith in Jesus Christ, it points back to the first Easter almost 2000 years ago. We celebrate that Jesus is risen from the dead. God, the angels, and we rejoice when a former unbeliever rises from the dead to life in Christ.

    It Ain't Easter, Preacher John 20:1-10 First preached in November, 2004 Introduction Last week we learned about how Jesus fulfilled the Scriptures even in death. He gave up His life voluntarily at 3PM, at the exact hour the Passover Lambs started to be slain. The lambs had to be completely ...read more

    The Telltale Rooster John 18:13-27 Introduction Last week we saw how Jesus was in total control of even His arrest.
