    The Son Of David Series

    Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Mar 3, 2023

     | 2,452 views

    In Matthew 1:1-17, we learn that Matthew calls Jesus "the son of David" because Jesus fulfills God's promise of a future king who establishes God's kingdom on earth.

    Introduction Michelangelo was a famous painter and sculptor. His most famous sculpture is “David,” which resides in the city of Florence in Italy. Michelangelo’s David is 17 feet tall. It's entirely possible that Michelangelo never meant for people to be able to look at David’s face head-on. ...read more

     | 2,131 views

    When it comes to the end times we see: 1. The problem of the Temple (vs. 14-15). 2. The pride of the Antichrist (vs. 15-16). 3. The pressure of the tribulation (vs. 16-21). 4. The panic of the ungodly (vs. 29-31). 5. The promise of the Lord's salvation (vs. 22, 27-28, 13-14).

    God substitutes Jesus for His enemies. This is the very center of our Christian faith: God substituted Jesus for us sinners.

We are looking at the story of one historic weekend from all angles all week. This morning, we look at the cross and resurrection from the perspective of one of the ...read more

    Eyes That See

    Contributed by Lewis Martin on Apr 7, 2025
     | 721 views

    Jesus tells a parable in Luke 16 that pulls back the curtain—revealing what happens when we live with closed eyes and closed hearts. It’s the story of a rich man, a poor beggar named Lazarus, and the eternal consequences of spiritual blindness.

    Sermon: "Eyes That See" (Luke 16:19-31) Scripture Reading (Luke 16:19-31 - NLT): 19 Jesus said, “There was a certain rich man who was splendidly clothed in purple and fine linen and who lived each day in luxury. 20 At his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus who was covered with sores. 21 As ...read more

    It is a blessed privilege when we as fellow humans beings are able, in the mist of family and friends who are hurting, when we are able to put our arms around them to be a source of strength and comfort.

    How blessed we are that the Lord has allowed us to make our way into His house, once again. That is why we ought to take advantage of ever opportunity we have to be a part of worship. Amen. Because there may come a day when you want to get here and not be able to. Then you won’t have to sit at home ...read more

    The Beginning Of Wisdom Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Oct 2, 2022
     | 3,581 views

    This is the opening sermon for a series based on The Book of Proverbs. I thought it would be a good idea to start a series based on the preeminent book of wisdom literature by discussing and defining what the book means by "wisdom" starting with the first chapter of The Book of Proverbs.

    [Hold up Bible.] I love this book. You’ve heard me refer to it as “The Owner’s Manual.” It contains stories, history, poetry, adventure, drama. It contains hymns. It contains theology, philosophy, and it contains wisdom. Every book in the Bible is there for a reason. Believe it or not, not ...read more

    Mary learned to trust the great I Am, not just for the things in the past but to trust in who He is right now, the resurrection and the life. Not just for the future but for her present situation and reality.

    John chapters 11-12 record the last week of Jesus' life, and we are now seeing more of the personal interactions between Jesus and those closest to Him. Because it was a week before the Passover celebration, pilgrims from all over the region were arriving a week early to prepare themselves for ...read more

    Children Of The Devil

    Contributed by Paul Green on Oct 6, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,177 views

    Our earthly heritage isn't important, but our spiritual heritage is. Just as we reflect the image of our earthly fathers – so also we reflect the image of our spiritual father. If you want to know whether you’re a child of God or a child of the devil – just take a look in the mirror.

    Jesus says, ‘You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.’ (v44) I wonder ...read more

    Part 2 continues the Restoration of Israel in the future, after the Tribulation. These are amazing passages we look at this time. We should know these prophetic scriptures because the time is very near. The Rapture must be very close.

    THE FUTURE RESTORATION OF ISRAEL - PART 2 - SCRIPTURES IN ISAIAH {{Isaiah 10:20-23 “Now it will come about in that day that the REMNANT of Israel and those of the house of Jacob who have escaped, will never again rely on the one who struck them, but will truly rely on the LORD, the Holy One of ...read more
