    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,798 views

    We think of Jesus being on trial before Pilate, when really it was Pilate who was being challenged by Jesus. What did Jesus say to Pilate that shook this governor and challenged his entire view of life?

    The promise of Israel’s restoration, but the basis of it is everlasting love, for without it, God would have done away with Israel long ago, but His love is from generation to generation. His kindness to the nation has drawn them in love into His tenderness and great glory.

    The King Of Truth

    People often become obsessed with royalty because they need someone to look up to, to be part of something larger than themselves. But they are always disappointed.

    We fought a war, once, to get rid of a king. Two hundred and twenty-two years ago Americans took up arms to win our independence from King George III of England. Some of the biggest issues were trade and taxes, sound familiar? “Fast Track” and IRS reform, 18th-century style. I suppose it’s always ...read more

     | 8,145 views

    Elusive as a will 'o the wisp, contentment is the heritage of God's people. Paul provides practical instruction for believers to find contentment in their service to Christ.

Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I ...read more

    Many people believe that the deciding vote in any election is cast in the privacy of a ballot box... but in reality, the deciding vote in elections is cast somewhere else entirely.

    We’ve gone a long ways away from our roots as Americans. So, one of my goals is to do a little bit of educating. People need to know this, & if they don’t hear it at church, where will they hear it?

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Much of this sermon and the following one, "Blessed Is the Nation...Part 2," came from books by David Barton, and excerpts from other sermons. At the time I prepared this sermon I was much more ...read more

    There are a lot of people whose lives can best be typified by their use of the word, "but." And there are also many people whose faith might very well be typified by the use of that wonderful word "therefore."

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KASNSAS, OK (Revised: 2014) A. Generally, those of us who have read much of the Gospel accounts of the life of Christ don't have a very good opinion of the Pharisees. We read the 23rd chapter of Matthew where 6 different times Jesus says, ...read more

    James 3:1-12 is God’s memo to the church warning us of the danger of misplaced words in the Body of Christ. In the church loose lips do not sink ships but they can make shipwreck of people’s lives!
