Destruction And Deliverance: Dual Outcomes Of Sodom And Gomorrah Series

Contributed by Brian Williams on Sep 30, 2024

Here we see the dual outcomes of Sodom and Gomorrah - we see God’s judgment on sin and at the same time His mercy on Lot because God knows how to rescue the Godly from judgment.

Last week we spoke from Genesis 18. We are reminded about how important our involvement is in the plan of God and how God works in and through our lives to accomplish His will. It’s amazing how Abraham spoke face-to-face with God and how he interceded for his nephew Lot and his family. Today we ...read more

The Pathway Of Adam Vs. The Pathway Of Christ Series

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 14, 2024

I was walking in the pathway of Adam, the pathway of rebellion against God. And it was leading toward disaster. Not only that, the entire world system was built around the pathway of Adam. So it naturally drew me in.

There was a pathway I was on for many years. It was a pathway with many bright lights and beautiful things. So much technology and media, so many songs, and movies and events, giant arenas and commercials and billions of dollars in industry. I walked that path day by day, it was at times ...read more

The Heart Of Jesus

Contributed by Troy Borst on Nov 1, 2024

The theodicy often centers on the question: If God is omnipotent, omniscient, and benevolent, why does evil exist? Theodicy seeks to reconcile the existence of a good God with the reality of suffering and injustice in the world.

THE HEART OF JESUS JOHN 11:1-44 #john11 INTRODUCTION We will be in John 11 this morning. There are some questions in this life we live for which we have absolutely no good answers.

Conditioning, Confusion And Condemnation - Devil's Deception Schemes

Contributed by Amar Chandnani on Jan 26, 2025

You know, statistics will show that many people don’t believe in Satan. Or in the idea of a devil. They think he is a made up character. A fictional character in books and movies. That’s the second thing that Satan wants us to believe. That he’s not real.

Be Delivered from Deception Alright. We begin with our verse this morning in John 1:4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. Let us pray…. Lord JESUS, you are the light of the world, shine forth your ...read more

Sermon # 45 - Give God The Rightful Place Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 28, 2025

Jonah as a prophet of God did not give God the rightful place. When we obey God, serve Him alone, and set aside all that displeases Him, we will truly honor God and give Him the rightful place in our lives.

We read in Jonah 4:7, “But God appointed a worm at the rising of the dawn of the next day, and it struck the plant, and it withered.” (LITV) As Jonah enjoyed the shade of the plant that God had prepared for him, the Lord appointed a worm that obeyed God’s bidding, and ate up the plant, so that it ...read more

Last time we met I introduced what I called being a secret disciple. Today, I’d like to introduce another type of disciple, one seen in the life of Peter, which I am calling, being a distant disciple. A distant disciple is one who follows Jesus, but at a distance.
