Proverbs And Ecclesiastes Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Jun 11, 2021

There is value in the pursuit of Godly Wisdom and at the end of the day it is our relationship with God that matters most.

June 12, 2021 As we read Scripture, it is easy to get bogged down by all the perceived differences between the ancient and the modern and we wonder, "How does this apply to my life?” My Favorite Thing About PROVERBS and ECCLESIASTES is that they are a practical guide to the value and ...read more

The Eternal Destiny Of Those Who've Never Heard The Gospel Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

Charles Spurgeon was once asked his opinion about those who had never heard of Jesus or the gospel. His response sting rings true today: “How can they be saved without ever hearing about Jesus? We should rather ask, how can we be saved if we do nothing to take the gospel to them?”

What is the fate of those who have never heard the gospel? What about the innocent person in a far-away land that has never heard of Jesus? Are they thrown into hell even if they haven’t heard of Jesus? Another way of asking this question is this: how does God deal with people who have different ...read more

Encouragement For Hurting Fathers On Father's Day

Contributed by Noel Schreuder on Jun 19, 2021

On Father's Day, fathers are honored for being great dads to their children. But what about the hurting dads, whose children broke their hearts because they lost the plot? To these hurting dads, who often suffer in silence, I want to bring a message of encouragement today.

THE HURTING FATHER WHO CONTINUES TO BELIEVE IN GOD AND FINDS REST IN HIM Having good memories of your father is a great blessing. Many times at family gatherings, the conversation with my father turned in the direction of: “Remember Dad, the time when we ...”, and then there was a good laugh about ...read more

Haman’s Sinister Scheme Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 7, 2021

The plot continues to thicken for Mordecai and Esther. Just when it appeared the Jews would enjoy a season of peace and prosperity, Haman devised a plan to destroy the them throughout the kingdom. Regardless of Haman's intentions, God remained sovereign and would preserve His people.

Haman’s Sinister Scheme Esther 3: 8-15 While Esther, Mordecai, and the Jews within Persia may have rejoiced in Esther being crowned as queen, they would soon find themselves dealing with an executive order from Ahasuerus that would strike fear in their hearts. The hatred Haman had for Mordecai had ...read more

Now What?

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Oct 11, 2019

Life has a tendency to dash our dreams and imprison our hopes. We can face different types of traps: Metal bars? Mental bars? Joseph had a dream? Now what? The well? Slave market? Auction? Potiphar? Prison? Forgotten? Nothing could stop God's plan.

The Man In The Middle Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 2, 2019

Jesus endured much as He was crucified on Golgotha. He was beaten, humiliated, mocked, and blasphemed. He endured all of that for you and me. He took our place on the cross. I am thankful for the Man in the middle.

The Man in the Middle Mark 15: 22-32 Today we begin the most sobering and somber section of Mark’s gospel, dealing with the crucifixion of Jesus Christ our Lord. I am well aware that this was God’s plan for our redemption. I am thankful for the cross and the willingness of our Lord to take our ...read more

Guilty But Not As Charged Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 24, 2021

This passage makes it clear that man does not need to be totally depraved to be totally out of God's will, and that he who stands must beware less he fall.

A close study of the account of the fall of man has done more to open my eyes to the danger of tradition than any other study I have done. Those who profess to take it literally have done much in making it mythological by using it to teach lessons that have no basis in the text itself. Those who ...read more

Accused Before The Council Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Nov 14, 2018

Having been betrayed, arrested, and taken to the home of the high priest, Jesus then faced preposterous allegations. Finally admitting that He was the Son of God, the council voted to codemn Jesus for blasphemy.

Accused before the Council Mark 14: 53-65 Jesus has now been betrayed by Judas in the Garden of Gethsemane and is led away to stand trial before the Sanhedrin.

Brought Before Pilate Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 5, 2018

As Jesus stood before Pilate and His accusers, they were astonished at His silence. The King of glory stood before them, and yet they failed to see Him. He was committed to the cross, to provide our redemption.

Brought before Pilate Mark 15: 1-5 It had been a long, grueling night for Jesus, but the extreme difficulty was not over. He had been betrayed by Judas in the Garden of Gethsemane and arrested by the angry mob. From there He was led to stand before the high priest in a mock trial, filled with ...read more

Light is a special thing to God. Paul uses this special thing to teach us about witnessing and humility.

Light is a special thing to God. God’s first spoken words in Scripture are, “Let there be light,” and it was the first thing ever created in our universe.

Too Little, Too Late Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 7, 2018

Mannaseh pushed Judah to the point of no return. Right at the end of his life, he experienced God's great grace and forgiveness when he repented. However it was too little, too late. The damage has been done. That's the legacy he left behind.

We’ve come to the reign of Manasseh in 2 Kings 21, the son of Hezekiah. • 6 more kings after him and that will be the end of JUDAH. • Manasseh is the longest reigning King of Judah (and Israel), 55 years in all. • He did great evil in the sight of the Lord, probably the greatest (evil) of all the ...read more

Securing The Kingdom Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Apr 24, 2017

Solomon heeded David's advice to devote himself to keeping God's Law and deal with the threats to his Kingdom.

The transition from one ruler to the next is not always a smooth one. • We see that in the election of a new president, in USA or Taiwan, or a new governor in Jakarta. It’s very political. • We see a different kind of transition in 1 Kings 2. David called Solomon and gave him very good advice ...read more
