     | 1,876 views

    Nicodemus came to Jesus to ask a question and had his own great need exposed. This account teaches us great fundamental truths about salvation, and what it means to be born again. Nicodemus and his honest inquiry has benefited all Christians.

     | 2,664 views

    Paul shares with us three major things that we can pray for ourselves and for others – 1. To have the ability to be able to clearly and accurately hear God’s voice 2. To develop the desire to live a Holy Life 3. To allow the Holy Spirit to give us the power to live a Holy Life

    The Priority Of Prayer Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jul 18, 2022
     | 5,312 views

    Paul began chapter 2 with a command to all people to make prayer a priority and to do so by praying for everyone with all kinds of prayer. Then in verse 8, he gave a specific command to the men to lead the congregation by lifting up holy hands in prayer.

    Introduction: A. I want to begin today with a wonderful story that the late Peter Marshall, who was the chaplain of the U.S. Senate, used to love to tell, called: “The Keeper of the Spring.” 1. Once there was a quiet forest dweller who lived high above an Austrian village along the eastern slopes ...read more

    The Two Pillars Of Godly Support: Belief And Love - 1john 3:23 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 5, 2022
     | 1,282 views

    Some Christians, when they are more established, very imperceptibly, lessen the trust in the Lord, and place it more in their own ability and decision-making. Not consciously, but bit by bit, they take back control of their own lives, and wonder why God seems absent. We look at belief and love.

    MESSAGE – THE TWO PILLARS OF GODLY SUPPORT: BELIEF AND LOVE - 1John 3:23 We will be looking at a verse in the first letter of John but just to place it into context we will look at 4 verses – {{1 John 3 v 21-24, but it is verse 23 that is our focus. 1John 3 v 21 “Beloved, if our heart does not ...read more

    Exceeding Expectations Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jun 16, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,474 views

    Jesus said that our righteousness must exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees. This means that He wants us to exceed the spiritual expectations prescribed by the Law; as we are to strive for excellence in our walk with God.

    I have entitled our message, “Exceeding Expectations,” and I want to begin by sharing a true story. A contractor in Mexico was hired to build a Catholic Church, but he used cheap materials in order to make more money. He reasoned that the quality of the materials did not matter, so long as the ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,332 views

    In this passage, some people questioned Paul's honesty and integrity. He assured them that the message he preached was true, and that God is forever faithful. Paul said, “All the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen.”

    A defense attorney was cross-examining a police officer during a felony trial and it went like this: Q. Officer, did you see my client fleeing the scene? A.

    A God-Planted Church

     | 2,810 views

    Today I want to talk to you about church planting, because all churches are not GOD PLANTED!

    HOW DOES GOD PLANT A CHURCH? CHURCH PLANTING is something like what a farmer does, he plants the seed, cultivates the seed, fertilizes the seed and then patiently waits for it to grow. Church planters basically do the same thing. They have to plant the seed (Gospel), cultivate the seed, ...read more

    The Hedge Of Protection

     | 3,392 views

    Solomon is considered to be one of, if not the smartest man who ever walked on this earth. When a man like this gives advice, it might be smart for us to listen to him. In this verse of scripture he reveals two things:

    (1) He talks about how traps that people set for each other often trap those who set them. Illus: Have you ever set a rat trap and had it snap and catch your finger? Illus: A good example of setting a trap and getting caught in it is found in the Book of Esther, where wicked Haman was hanged on ...read more

    On some of the talk shows, like “Hannity and Colmes” on the Fox News Channel, we hear folks debating things and now and then they come to a topic that they both agree on.

    To make the debate more exciting, one of them will say, "Let me play the devil’s advocate and ask you this question.” Then they will state the opposing view, to add some life to the debate. As believers, we all agree on many things when it comes to God, the Bible, and the church. Let me ...read more

    Liberal Theology In The Churches – Address Number 4 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 20, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,988 views

    We take 22 aspects of Liberal Theology and look at why each is wrong. Some Liberals may hold to only one of these; others, many of them, but their adherence system will incorporate most of them. It is difficult to generalise because liberal thinking expands and changes.

    This small series continues with the 4th address in Liberal Theology LIBERAL THEOLOGY IN THE CHURCHES – ADDRESS NUMBER 4 OPENING UP SOME ELEMENTS OF LIBERAL THEOLOGY - MY UNDERSTANDING OF SOME COMPONENTS OF LIBERAL THEOLOGY: EXPLANATION In 2015 I had the request to address a group in ...read more

    Whom Will You Meet In Heaven? Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 7, 2022
     | 2,383 views

    There is so much speculation about heaven but we have very little to go on in the word. People express the hope of heaven being a reunion and we look at that. Whom do you want to meet in heaven? That is what we will consider here. Heaven could be very close.

    Whom will YOU meet in heaven? INTRODUCTION Talk to Christians about heaven and what that will be like, and you have so many variant answers. That is normal, for none of us knows any details and a lot of what we think is more in line with our own assumptions. What will you do there? Will we ...read more

    There’s a difference between dead-end religion and living faith.

    I expect the issue of minimum wage will come up in Congress again this year. There are good arguments on both sides - Those who are in favor of raising it will argue, rightly, that you can’t support a family on a minimum wage job, and that people who “work hard and play by the rules” should be able ...read more

    Submit To One Another Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Dec 5, 2022
     | 2,727 views

    Submission is an ugly word in our culture, but it is an important key to spiritual maturity and to experiencing real Christian community. In this sermon we will explore what submission is and isn't, and will learn why it is so important to learn how to submit to one another.

    I prepared this message as part of a Series for Advent, and this one really ministered to me the peace of God for these difficult days in which we live.

    “PEACE THAT PASSES UNDERSTANDING” PT. 2 “ADVENT 2021” Phil. 4.6-7 One of the lasting, profound emotions that Christmas evokes in my life is that of peace; I’m not sure whether it’s the stillness of a late-night recounting of the Christmas story, the stillness of a cold, wintry night, or the peace ...read more
