Paying The Price Series

Contributed by Pat Cook on Aug 31, 2004

Part 3 in Worship the King series, this focuses on Jesus our Redeemer King, in the context of His being a ransom. Good communion sermon.

1 Timothy 2:5-6 – Paying the Price I read about a small boy who was consistently late coming home from school. His parents warned him one day that he must be home on time that afternoon, but nevertheless he arrived later than ever. His mother met him at the door and said nothing. At dinner ...read more

Poor Naomi And Ruth

Contributed by Greg Nance on Jun 14, 2015

Destitute and broken people are those God seeks to save. Who but the poor in spirit are prepared to receive the King of kings and enter the kingdom of heaven?

They live in the bread basket of Israel, Bethlehem, but a famine hits and Naomi’s husband moves his family to Moab where he and both his sons ...read more

Contributed by William Baeta on Apr 9, 2025

“Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”. (Luke 19:38)

Our theme for today’s sermon is ‘the suffering of the Innocent’. Throughout the ages many people have asked the question ‘why do the innocent suffer?’ This question can only be adequately answered in the case of the Messiah because of the many revelations about His birth, life, death, and ...read more

The First Palm Sunday

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 18, 2018

John's is the only Gospel to tell us about the palm branches.

THE FIRST PALM SUNDAY. John 12:12-19. First, in this short passage, we see the sense of expectation of the people of God (John 12:12). We read that “much people” who were come to the feast, “heard” that Jesus was coming to the City. And hearing, they acted on it. It is good to “hear” the ...read more

The Gifts We Bring Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 10, 2023

The gifts we give on Christmas are often given in gaily wrapped paper. The paper conceals what is hidden inside the present. Similarly, the gifts of the wisemen were like wrapping paper concealing special gifts of great value. Do you know what they were?

Humorist Dave Barry wrote about the gifts that were brought by the Wise Men. He suggested that if you examined that story carefully, you’d find that there is an overlooked theological fact in the story. There is no mention of wrapping paper. Why? First, these guys were wise. And second… they were ...read more

Palm Sunday - 2020 - Thy Kingdom Come - The Lord's Prayer - Part 2 Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Apr 4, 2020

Should we be celebrating with the disciples who were waving palm branches and shouting "Hosanna to the Son of David" or should we be weeping over Jerusalem like Jesus? This naturally combines with "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done ..." from the Lord's prayer.

(This is a shorter sermon used on Facebook Live during the Coronavirus pandemic) What is today? Today is Palm Sunday, the day we set aside to remember what many call “The Triumphal Entry” of Jesus into Jerusalem. Where do we find that?

Welcoming The Alternative Series

Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Apr 19, 2014

Palm Sunday welcome of the king and an alternative lifestyle is chosen, which is very different from the world’s norm of authority and power.

John 12:12-17 “Welcoming the Alternative” INTRODUCTION Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem has always been called a “triumphal entry.” In many ways it appears to be a comical imitation of a Roman parade. We can see this first Palm Sunday event similar to an army ...read more

Psalm 42 Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 11, 2020

We are going to examine this psalm as if it was written by godly King Hezekiah. After David, he was the greatest king ever to sit upon the throne of Judea. He did more to bring the nation back to God than any other king.

April 12, 2015 Tom Lowe Title: PSALM 42 A psalm of David. Psalm 42 (KJV) 1 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. 2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? 3 My tears have been my meat day and ...read more

Ahab And Jezebel Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Oct 4, 2022

King Ahab is arguably the evilest king of the Northern Ten Tribes of Israel. He was the first Israelite king to marry a heathen (non-Israel) woman, the beautiful but devilish Jezebel. Together they became one of the most sinful couples in Biblical history.

Ahab and Jezebel According to the Hebrew Bible, Ahab was the seventh king of Israel, the son and successor of King Omri, and the husband of Jezebel of Sidon. The Hebrew Bible presents Ahab as a wicked king. Died 852 BC · Ramoth-Gilead, Syria Father Omri Reign 871 – 852 BC Burial Samaria, ...read more

The tragedy of Herod contrasts with the triumph of King David.

There are two different gatherings mentioned in our readings this morning. One of them takes place in the court of King David, and the other takes place in the court of Herod Antipas, tetrarch of Judæa.

The Apostle Paul's defence before King Agrippa

My text this evening is Acts 26 and verse 28, King Agrippa’s reply to Paul where he says, “Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian?” Now these eight little words have to be the saddest ever to grace the pages of the Bible. It strikes at the very heart of the problem of men and women living in ...read more
