Why We Gather, No.2, Rhythm

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 15, 2021

God wants human life to have a rhythm to it and meeting together on Sunday helps us to establish that rhythm.

INTRODUCTION Two weeks ago we started a new four-talk series titled ‘Why we gather?’ I got the idea for the series from a website called SermonCentral. For the past 16 months most of us haven’t been gathering, or at least, not in person. Two weeks ago we started to meet again. So I think ...read more

A Happy Ending Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 1, 2021

Job is saying, now he really knows God, and has a great concept of God. He, like so many, had dragged God down into the realm of mere words. God was a subject in theology to be explained, instead of a person to be encountered.

Job is one of the masterpieces of world literature. It is studied today even in secular colleges, and students are required to write papers comparing Job's sufferings with those of the Greek god Prometheus. I know this, because I just recently loaned a commentary on Job to my neighbor who had ...read more

The Calling Of Levi Series

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Apr 2, 2021

Who did Christ come to save: sinners or the righteous?

Introduction Human beings are inherently religious. We were created by God to worship Him. He wired us that way. When sin entered into man, our worship became inherently corrupt.

Friend, there are million things attacking our homes, children, marriage, church, ministry and health today, mere walls cannot save us, we need today the hands of God to protect us, say Hallelujah. Never be too smart, smug and snobbish to think you can make it without God’s protection.

God’s Gentleman Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 6, 2021

I am more convinced every day that true power is in gentleness. Like the silent gentle rays of the sun are the most potent factors in natural life, so the gentle kindness of the Christian is the most potent factor in spreading the spiritual life.

History is the record of the battle of competing ideas and philosophies that clash with one another in their effort to gain the allegiance of men.

I Thee Wed: Jesus' Teaching On Marriage And Divorce Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 16, 2021

Jesus taught that marriage is a sacred and serious undertaking by any man and woman who want to unite as one under the protection and direction of the LORD. We tend to make it less than God's ideal for us.

What I am writing down here is the product of a message I originally presented to a group of men and women during a chapel service at our local rescue mission. The topic of marriage was probably not on their list of favorites for the fact that many of them had left abusive and toxic ...read more

Why do you think Jeremiah was so ‘afraid’? It’s not really hard to figure out, is it? God had a message He wanted delivered, and He wanted Jeremiah to deliver it. But here’s the thing about God’s message: Not everyone wants to hear it. Why not? Because it exposes sin and calls for repentance. It ...read more
