A Reasonable Offer

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 17, 2018

The calling out of the Remnant.

A REASONABLE OFFER. Isaiah 1:1, Isaiah 1:10-20. The opening of this wonderful Book of Isaiah introduces us to a Ministry which, on a conservative estimate, spanned some 64 years.

Spiritual Thinking

Contributed by Ron Auch Jr on Feb 1, 2020

The apostle Paul lays out this subject for us in the book of Colossians. First he says, “Set your hearts on things above.” The NIV is the only translation to use the word “hearts” in verse 1 here. Almost all the other translations use the word “seek.”

Spiritual Thinking Colossians 3:1-3 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. (2) Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. (3) For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in ...read more

COME LET US REASON TOGETHER. Isaiah 1:10-18. Isaiah addresses his congregation as “rulers of Sodom” and “people of Gomorrah”, and begins to reason with them (Isaiah 1:10).

Sermon # 44 - Overcome Evil With Good Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 13, 2025

Everyone has a choice to either do evil for evil or to repay evil with good. The latter is a godly decision which God approves of and the way Jesus exemplified. When our children are taught this when young, they will grow up to always do good no matter what evil is done to them.

We read in Genesis 4:1, Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, “I have acquired a man from the LORD.” (NKJV) When the first man Adam and his wife Eve had a baby boy, the words of Eve were, ‘I have acquired a man from the Lord.’ Children are given to us by the Lord, ...read more

Joy Of Salvation

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 8, 2025

Revival is not about guilt trips, programs, or emotional hype — it is about seeing God afresh and rediscovering the joy of salvation. True revival happens when we move from obsessing over our failures to fixing our eyes on the God who forgives, restores, and renews.

“Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation, and uphold me with Thy free spirit.” Psalm 51:12 Introduction – Passion Misplaced The kingdom of God is not going to advance simply because our churches are full of people. No — the kingdom of God is going to advance when the people who are in our ...read more

You Before Yours

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 16, 2025

God desires the giver before the gift—when we first surrender our hearts to Him, every act of generosity, including financial giving, flows joyfully and becomes an overflow of grace.

(God wants the giver before the gift) --- Introduction – Life Stirs Up Life Before we even open our Bibles, think about something amazing. The New Testament calls the church the body of Christ.

Snow White Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 26, 2025

God calls us to be pure, but is that possible?

Hand Him Your Heart

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 8, 2025

God seeks not our money but our hearts—surrendered lives whose joyful generosity springs from grace, proving that sanctification transforms every part of us.

Proverbs 23:26 > “My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.” That single verse is a tender invitation. God doesn’t demand—He asks. He reaches out His hand and says, “Give Me your heart.” Not your résumé, not your reputation, not your records of what you’ve given ...read more
