    The Good, The Bad, And The Overcomers Series

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Jan 15, 2014
     | 1,145 views

    This was a loving church, serving, faithful, growing church; yet their toleration of false teaching was displeasing to Christ and harmful to people who were deceived by it. Change was needed and Jesus requires it if this church is to be overcomers.

    The Good, the Bad, and the Overcomers Revelation 2:18-29 18 "To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. 19 I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, ...read more

    By show of hands this morning, let’s see how many of you remember these catch phrases from your childhood (my guess is that you responded to these, like I did, with an exaggerated eye roll but now you say some of them yourself): • Money doesn’t grow on trees. • Were you born in a barn? • They sure ...read more

    Understanding Religious Fundamentalism

    Contributed by Robert Sickler on Mar 12, 2015
     | 3,270 views

    The United States has a very long history of unsuccessful conflicts with Islamic fundamentalists. The reason is that the only person who can really understand the dedication of a religious fundamentalist is another religious fundamentalist.

    Receiving The Lord’s Chastening

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 8, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,343 views

    God chastens us for our own good. However, usually, when we are going through His chastening we resist the Lord with all of our might. But this passage shows how it would be beneficial to receive the Lord’s chastening.

    I have entitled our message this evening, “Receiving the Lord’s Chastening,” and I wish to begin by sharing an illustration entitled, “God’s Loving Kick”: A Norfolk-Southern train was rolling down the rails of Indiana at 24 miles per hour. Suddenly the conductor, Robert Mohr, spotted an object ...read more

    This sermon is similar to my sermon "He exists", but it has only 5 arguments for God’s existence. It includes a section on the importance of defending the faith and why just because we can’t see God doesn’t mean he doesn’t exist. I personally believe thi

    One day after school back in year 10, I was talking to one of my friends. I made some remark that on Saturday I was going to church.

    Continuing a series on the minor prophets

    There is something almost disconcerting about the prophet Nahum and his place in Scripture. Nahum is little more than just a name to us. He is a prophet with a very narrow and particular view of who God is. But even within that narrow vision of God, Nahum’s prophetic words give us something to ...read more
