Luke 12: 49 – 56 Fire To The Earth Intro: Anytime you get a group of people together, there is going to be a difference of opinion. That is not always bad! For example: raise your hand if you think it is more important to clean the house than to mow the lawn? / Raise your hand if you ...read more

In Touch With Earth

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 1, 2010

Revision of earlier message. God calls us to remember that we are both physical and spiritual, and are therefore to be stewards of the earth as well as spiritually sound. The Table reminds of both our physical and spiritual sides and responsibilities.

Peace On Earth Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 25, 2016

Jesus was born to bring us peace - that's what Isaiah declared and angels sang. But what does that mean? What kind of peace did Jesus come to give me, and how can I receive it?

The past few weeks we’ve been looking at the gifts Jesus was born to give us. This week, we’re focusing on the gift of “peace” and (because today is Christmas) I wanted to start the sermon with a Christmas Carol that had peace as part of its message. But as I searched ...read more

Peace On Earth

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Mar 24, 2020

We might read a Christmas card that says "Peace on Earth" and not think anything of it. But the hope of God's peace is revolutionary.

In years past at Christmas time you would see the phrase, “Peace on Earth,” quite a bit. It might be on a banner in a store window or on Christmas cards or decorations in someone’s front yard. We did get one Christmas card with the phrase, but not as many as in years past. As the years go by we ...read more

Salt Of The Earth

Contributed by Jim Keegan on Apr 29, 2020

The phrase "salt of the earth" has become a commonly used expression in our society. The dictionary defines it as used in reference to "a very good and honest person or group," but that doesn't begin to do justice to what Jesus had in mind in this teaching.

“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled by men.” (Matthew 5:13) Salt today has become such a commonplace part of our lives, available in every home or restaurant, ...read more

Salt Of The Earth

Contributed by Timothy Bokka on Nov 7, 2018

Jesus Christ who is the True Vine, the Light, the Way, the bread of life is also the True Salt and as His children, we are called to be the Salt of the Earth.

Matthew 5:13–16 This statement is part of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, a summarization of the Beatitudes. Often many Christians have a false notion that if they live out at least one or two qualities listed in the Beatitudes then it is sufficient to live a life pleasing to the Lord. Sadly, this is ...read more

The Salt Of The Earth Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Sep 2, 2021

Jesus addressed the need for all believers to serve as the salt of the earth and light to this dark world. We will discover as we move through these verses both are necessary and much needed in our day. Each of these elements has a distinct and profound effect on their surroundings.

The Salt of the Earth Matthew 5: 13 We have spent a considerable amount of time dealing with the portion of the Sermon on the Mount known as the Beatitudes. I think you would agree those verses were a challenging and insightful study. As our Lord concluded His thoughts concerning the beatitudes, ...read more

The Heavens And Earth Series

Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Jun 25, 2023

The Bible says that God reveals Himself in His creation, and that is so true when we really look carefully at Bible Science. Here we take a look at the heavens and earth

Bible Science Before I was a Christian, I banked my life on science, and would scoff at anyone foolish enough to believe in that book written by man. I thought I had all the answers I needed in my technical books, and the Bible was not one of them. But like many people who scoff at the Bible, have ...read more
