Sermons on Intergenerational Wealth:

Using Money To Direct Our Hearts Series

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jul 25, 2022

Jesus tells us not to store up treasure on earth but to store up treasure in heaven. Doing that is certainly a much better investment! But an even bigger reason to do that is that where we put out treasure directs our hearts.

We’re continuing in our series in the Sermon on the Mount and today we’re having the last talk in the series for the time being. Today, I’m going to focus on the first three verses of today’s passage, verses 19-21, and one phrase in particular. In v.19, Jesus says, ‘DON’T store up treasure on ...read more

Safe In The Arms Of God

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Dec 16, 2021

God’s children are secure. They are secure because of the hills we look to; the help we look for; and the eyes we look with. God himself is our hill of protection, God himself is the help we look for and the eyes of faith are the eyes with look with.

27. The Kingdom Parables – The Seventh – The Dragnet – Part 3 Of 6 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 19, 2025

In the Dragnet parable, we see how it related to the seventh city of the seven churches John wrote to. That was Laodicea. We take a look at the background for Laodicea, and then we begin to look into the letter that was sent to the church in Revelation 3. This is the lukewarm church.

27. THE KINGDOM PARABLES – THE SEVENTH – THE DRAGNET – PART 3 OF 6 THE DRAGNET - LAODICEA BACKGROUND AND LETTER In every Parable of the Kingdom, we have seen that each Parable remarkably fitted the church from Revelation chapters 2 and 3 that matched that Parable.

O Altar, O Altar

Contributed by Samuel M on Jul 10, 2023

In this passage, we see a man of God who had received a word from the Lord. He came from Judah, a day’s journey from Israel, bearing the word from the Lord. God had given the man of God the now word or the word for this season.

Then he cried out against the altar by the word of the Lord, and said, “O altar, altar! Thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, a child, Josiah by name, shall be born to the house of David; and on you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and men’s bones shall be burned on ...read more

Where Is Meaning? Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 27, 2023

Today many are re-evaluating the lifestyle of seeking pleasure. The rich and famous are coming to the same conclusion of another rich and famous person Solomon, “meaningless”.

People try all avenues to bring meaning and purpose to their life. I said to myself, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure to find out what is good.” But that also proved to be meaningless. (Ecclesiastes 2:1) You name any field, professional sports, business, politics and if you do just a ...read more

The Book Of Lamentations – Part 3 – Judah Despised The Temple – Now All The Precious Things Have Gone - Chapter 1:7-10 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 26, 2025

Jeremiah continues to list Judah’s losses after the Babylonian invasion. All her precious things have gone; the nation is exposed in shameful defeat; the Temple which was sacred was stripped by Babylon, even the holy of holies violated.

THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 3 – JUDAH DESPISED THE TEMPLE – NOW ALL THE PRECIOUS THINGS HAVE GONE - CHAPTER 1:7-10 Currently we are looking at Jeremiah’s description as a summary of the catastrophe that befell Jerusalem. Times were horrible but reality of the bad conditions clarifies the ...read more

Two Unlikely Undertakers

Contributed by Allan Quak on Apr 21, 2025

The appearance of Joseph and Nicodemus at the burial of Jesus is a reminder that Jesus death is already sufficient to bring disciples out of hiding.

NORTH PINE BAPTIST CHURCH Friday 18th April 2025 – Good Friday John 19:38-42 “Two Unlikely Undertakers” There is something about a grave that says “the end”.

Expect More From God

Contributed by Efren V. Narido on Sep 29, 2023

If the unbelievers could experience the “good” life, how about those who received the new life from God -- the righteous? Should they expect greater favors?

“The LORD then said to Noah, ‘Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation. Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, and also seven ...read more

Living In Lack In The Middle Of Abundance

Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Jul 4, 2025

As Christians, if we are called to live in the abundance of God’s provision, love, and grace, why are so many of us living in a mindset of lack—spiritually, emotionally, and even materially? Why do we say that we serve a God of abundance, and settle for scarcity?

John 10:10 – “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” Philippians 4:19 – “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Introduction: As Christians, if we are called to live in the ...read more
