    Background: This chapter finds David returning to Jerusalem after a forced exile caused by Absalom his son. Absalom is now dead and King David is returning to retake his rightful place on the throne, Israel. David’s return finds the people of Israel in various states of mind and in various states ...read more

    AVERAGE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH (2 CHRONICLES 25:1-28) One day Linus came home with his report card. As he turned on the TV, his sister Lucy scoffed at his grade: “You got a “C” in history?

    The speaker laid out a four part process to effective outreach programs. The first step in the process was to develop an identity. This got me thinking about the identity of the Adventist church and more specifically this church. Identity is much more t

    I met with the pastor this week to discuss the mission and purpose of the church. We discussed many things to help the church grow and to make known to the world that Jesus is coming soon. We mulled over outreach ideas, mission statements, etc. One of the things that stood out in my mind was a ...read more

    This is week two of 40 Days of Purpose using a survivor theme.

    A Ukulele, a songbook, a Frisbee, a toothbrush, a deck of playing cards, a guitar, bongo drums and a bible. Kind of a strange collection, but they all have one thing in common. They were luxury items that contestants from early episodes of survivor were allowed to take with them into the ...read more

    The man at the pool of Bethsaida had lost his will to achieve, and blamed others. Jesus, however, gave Him his self-worth as well as his health. Do not blame prejudice or racism for failure; turn to Jesus and be healed and motivated.

    The day dawned like any other day ... a little chillier, maybe, than you might have expected this time of year. But still, about as gray and bleak and unpromising as any other day. After all, every day was about like every other day. What reason did he have to expect anything different? For 38 ...read more

    The Jews were concerned more about building their own houses rather than building God's house. Consequently, God gives this message to His prophet to rebuke His people. I would be delighted if you could rate this sermon and give brief feedback.

    Introduction (Secure Attention): Have you ever thought along these lines, “I am going to serve the Lord after I grow old.” “I want to work for God but I’m too busy.” “I want to serve God but I’m not sure whether I’ll be able to do anything at all for the Lord.” If you had any thoughts like that, ...read more

    The significance of His resurrection is impossible to exaggerate. It is the fundamental proof of His Messiahship and of the truth of Christianity. A classic sermon by A. B. Simpson.

    "To whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God" (Acts 1:3). Our Lord’s earthly life may be divided into three sections: before His passion, during His passion, and the ...read more
