There is a legendary tale about the late Bear Bryant, who coached the University of Alabama football team from 1958 to 1982. In one game, with two minutes to play, he called on his slow-but-steady, fourth string quarterback. Bryant instructed him to run the ball up the middle and then punt. ...read more

Contributed by Troy Borst on Aug 31, 2022

We find David in despair and anxiety and perhaps believing lies in his spirit and he sets himself apart from God and compromises who he is and his relationship with God.

"A Simple Matter”

Contributed by Larry Grant on Jan 15, 2023

As God gives freely to the unworthy, so he gives richly, like himself, more than we are able to ask or think. His gifts outdo our requests and expectations.

2 Kings 3:9-18 “A Simple Matter” January 15, 2023 The Division King Jehoram of Israel was not an honorable man. “He did evil in the sight of the Lord” Though he was not like his father Ahab or his mother Jezebel because he put away the sacred things of the false god Baal, we are told that he still ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 15, 2023

Paul stresses the importance of prayer for himself. He them urges strongly the reading of his letter but again highlights one of his favourite words – GRACE. It was grace that blesses the Thessalonians.

MESSAGE 20 - 1THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 5:25-28: THE FINAL COMMENTS TO THE THESSALONIANS – PRAY, GREETING, AND CLOSING GRACE [A].

God's Greatest Trophy Of Grace

Contributed by Grant Adams on Jan 21, 2023

Paul was God's greatest trophy of grace. He consider himself the chiefest of sinners. If God could shed His grace on Paul than His grace is for all.

I doubt if any would question the statement that Paul was the greatest Christian of all time. More than any other person, he reflects the mind of Christ. The scope and effectiveness of his writings and labors for Christ are almost beyond description. Other than Jesus Himself, no other person has ...read more

Saint Squanto? Thanksgiving 2019

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 22, 2019

St. Paul did not have a routine pattern for giving thanks, but the overall view was that he paints a picture of himself as a model of a person who is constantly rejoicing, praying, and giving thanks.

A man was choking on a bone. Immediately he called for a doctor who quickly removed it. "What do I owe you" asked the victim. The doctor replied, "How about the amount you were ready to pay while the bone was still stuck in your throat?" Yes, how quickly and easily we ...read more

Becoming A Globally-Minded Christian

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 22, 2021

Mission and missions are not something the Bible merely speaks about – mission and missions are what the Bible is about. Since creation, God has been interested in redeeming all peoples to Himself.

Today marks the end of a week set aside to pray for missions and our friends of our church who are spread around the globe for the cause of introducing people to the love of Christ. Let’s spend a few minutes of concentrated prayer for our friends. Father in Heaven, I pray You make Yourself so ...read more

Death And Taxes Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jan 11, 2016

The ability to answer wisely may not persuade the hardened opponents of the Gospel, but God can use those answers to glorify himself and perhaps to reach out to others who hear the discussion.

Death and Taxes (Mark 12:13-27) 1. I cannot say I enjoy making payments. Fortunately, I do not have a car payment, but I have a mortgage and I have bills. 2. Ministers are considered self-employed for purposes of social security, but employed by the church for purposes of income tax. 3. The ...read more

Elijah At Cherith Series

Contributed by Toby Powers on May 6, 2023

This experience of Elijah's life is probably the most ignored or overlooked mountain of his experience with God, but it is an essential one. It is a lesson in how God separates a believer unto himself.

ELIJAH AT CHERITH I Kings 17:1-7 Intro: Elijah is one of the greatest characters to study in the Word of the Lord. He is the man who embodies the office of the Old Testament prophet more than any other. He is the foreshadowing of John the Baptist. He was not an Israelite Aristocrat, but he was a ...read more

The Heavens And Earth Series

Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Jun 25, 2023

The Bible says that God reveals Himself in His creation, and that is so true when we really look carefully at Bible Science. Here we take a look at the heavens and earth

Bible Science Before I was a Christian, I banked my life on science, and would scoff at anyone foolish enough to believe in that book written by man. I thought I had all the answers I needed in my technical books, and the Bible was not one of them. But like many people who scoff at the Bible, have ...read more

What Are The Odds? Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Oct 3, 2023

Jesus' life, death, and resurrection were prophesied hundreds of years before they happened, and He willingly sacrificed Himself to pay the price for our sins because of His love for us.

Here's the deal with Easter: God did something only He could do to pull off something only He could pull off. We all mess up, right? Who here has ever snuck a cookie before dinner or maybe 'forgot' to do their chores? Yeah, I thought so. Well, the Bible says that every time we do something wrong, ...read more

Our Memorial Convocations Are More Than Nostalgia

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 28, 2025

Each feast was a memorial of some historical event in the life of Israel and was more than just an exercise in nostalgia. Each Jew was called to consider himself or herself as living in that historical moment.

Friday of the 17th Week in Course 2025 When we think of Torah, the Jewish Law, we usually think of the Ten Commandments and the various prohibitions that flow from those natural law ordinances. So, for instance, the first commandment prohibits worship of any God but Hashem, and the pagans of ...read more
