     | 13,175 views

    The Drama of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus continues to unfold in the institution of the Lord's Passover, protecting God's People from the disastrous tenth plague. The Passover Lamb points to the perfect sacrifice of Jesus 1500 years later.

    Exodus: The History of the Redeemed: “The Lord’s Passover” Exodus 12:1-30 As leader of Egypt, Pharaoh’s heart was hardened toward the command of God and Moses to allow the Israelites to leave Egypt and so God promised the tenth and most dreadful plague, the killing of every ...read more

    The Scandalized

     | 3,839 views

    They believed Jesus was a bad man. That is scary. How could one behold Jesus, hear him teach, witness his miracles, and then conclude that “He is possessed by Beelzebul”?

    Matthew 26:57-68 The Scandalized 2/29/04 D. Marion Clark Introduction Who is responsible for Jesus’ death? Judas bears guilt. He is the disciple who betrayed Jesus into the hands of his enemies. Peter and the other disciples bear guilt. They did not defend their Lord. Judas represents ...read more

    David & Bathsheba: How To Not Be A Man After God's Own Heart Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jul 28, 2023
     | 1,779 views

    Normally the King would lead the armies in battle. But instead, King David sends out Joab and he stays behind at the palace.

    The title of this message is “How to not be a man after God’s own heart.” So, if you want to follow God and love God and live for God, just do the opposite of everything in 2nd Samuel chapter 11. There are two incidents that are the most famous in David’s life. The first is of course David’s ...read more

    Tell Jesus

    Contributed by Joshua Blackmon on Aug 6, 2023
     | 2,682 views

    This sermon was inspired by a sermon starter in "52 New Testament Sermon Starters" by Spiros Zodhaites. There is power in telling Jesus about our needs and the needs of others no matter how insignificant we may think they are.

    TITLE: Tell Jesus Mark 1:29-39 (NIV) 29 And immediately He [or, they] left the synagogue and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. The Greek word translated as "immediately" is significant in the gospel of Mark. It is used 42 times in Mark's fast-paced ...read more

    Let God Do The Finger Pointing

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Aug 7, 2023
     | 2,207 views

    If finger pointing is impolite and it is so often connected to self-centered, sinful behavior why does God do it? God does this so that when sinners see their lost condition he can point them to the cross of his Son. There forgiveness is found. There salvation and eternal life are offered.

    “Finger pointing.” What thoughts do those two words bring to your mind? For the most part they are probably negative thoughts. At a very early age we are taught not to point at people. It’s considered impolite. As we get older we experience finger pointing in many different ways. If we had ...read more

    Contributed by David Owens on Aug 21, 2023
     | 4,281 views

    The transfiguration of Jesus looks backwards to Moses and Elijah, and looks forward to Jesus' passion, ascension and return. The transfiguration is significant for Jesus, His apostles, and all of us.

    Introduction: A. What are the most glorious things you have ever seen? 1. The birth of a baby? A breathtaking sunset? The pounding ocean surf or the shear force of the water going over Niagara Falls? 2. As glorious as those things are, none of those things can even come close to the glorious ...read more

     | 6,439 views

    Faith is so central to our salvation that there are those who believe believing is the ONLY thing we need to do to be saved. But is that true, and where did that idea come from?

    In my files I have a comment of an economics professor who explained his problem with Jesus. He said, “I really don’t see how Jesus can be the only way to heaven. I definitely believe in God, but there are just too many people in the world who don’t believe in Jesus for me to think that God ...read more

    There are 1000s of different churches with their various views on baptism. Can they all be right? Probably not, but why aren't they all "right"?

    There was an antique collector passing through a small village when he saw an old man chopping wood with an ancient ax. “That’s a mighty old ax you have there,” he remarked. “Yep,” said the villager, “it once belonged to George Washington.” “George Washington??? Not really!" gasped the ...read more
