Becoming World Class Christians Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 9, 2021

God was the God of Israel and Jonah wanted to keep it that way. He did not want every Tom, Dick, and Harry of the pagan world finding out about the real God. Let them perish with their stupid man-made idols. That is what they deserve.

Trying to be a world class Christian can be a world class pain. Ralph Hult learned this the hard way. This Nebraska born Swede at age 32 went to Africa as a missionary, but on his first furlough in 1926 he was told there was no money to send him back. So he started a fruit farm near ...read more

The Inspiration For Worship Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 13, 2019

Peculiar People

Contributed by Mike Bryant on Jun 8, 2021

Israel's desire for a king is used to illustrate the temptation we face to be more like the rest of the world. But even though the world's view of us often chafes, it is God's plan that we be conspicuously different.

I) After Moses brought the nation of Israel out of Egypt, they did not have a king for many years. A) Unlike the nations around them, they were led by men and women, judges, who were direct intermediaries between God and man. B) Early on, the people tried to make one of those judges, Gideon, into ...read more

Missing The Hour Of Our Visitation With God

Contributed by James May on Apr 10, 2022

A sermon preached on Palm Sunday. Israel missed the hour of her Visitation with God as they rejected Christ. Let us not miss our times of visitations but be prepared for his coming, both in our hearts, at the rapture and at his Second Coming as the King of Glory!

Today being Palm Sunday, we always reflect upon what it really means. 1,989 years ago, a young Rabbi named Yeshua sat on the summit of a mountain looking down over the city of Jerusalem and lamented deeply in his heart for the condition of the people that he had come to try and save from the ...read more

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 23, 2022
