The Confident Lost Vs. The True Believer Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Feb 8, 2021

One can be confident, zealous, and religious, but also be lost. It is only through repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ that we can be saved.

The Confident Lost Vs. the True Believer (Romans 10:1-13) 1. One of my wife’s third graders was wearing a Fitbit watch, which prompted my wife to ask, “Are you tracking your steps?” “No,” said the little girl. “I wear this for Mommy so she can show Daddy when he gets home.” —James Avery, ...read more

The Book Of Lamentations – Part 38 – We Look At The Beginning Of Complaints – Inheritance Has Been Lost - Chapter 5:1-2 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 24, 2025

Pleading with God to remember, is what Jeremiah fell back to, and this persevering prayer is examined. Reproach overtook the people as they lost everything and were despised. Today we see the same in so many African nations where believers suffer for Christ. A touching message.

Your Need For Worship

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 18, 2021

Worship is a big deal: Cain killed his brother, Abel. Moses asked Pharaoh for some time to away in the wilderness to worship. Ancient Jewish families would bring animals to Jerusalem for the purpose of worship. And Jesus turned over the tables in the Temple because they were ruining worship.

Your worship is a big deal to you personally. Worship is a big deal down throughout history. Think about the importance of worship down through the ages: Cain killed his brother, Abel, over worship in Genesis 4.

Love And Hate Series

Contributed by David Owens on Nov 6, 2023

In Mark 14, Mark places the themes of love and hate alongside each other to create a sharp contrast. The hatred of the Jewish leaders, is followed by Mary’s loving act, which is followed by Judas’ betrayal. These stories challenge us to examine our feelings and actions toward Jesus.

Introduction A. I heard the true story of a woman who took a number of children to see a movie. 1. Before going into the seating area, they stopped at the concession stand and the woman offered to buy popcorn for the children to share. 2.

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 1, 2025

The bread in the Lord’s Supper. We examine the Jewish Passover and concentrate on the unleavened bread. The Lord’s Supper came from that Passover so we see how it relates. Different denominations treat the Lord’s Supper/Communion differently. We consider the leaven as well.

UNLEAVENED BREAD AND THE PASSOVER - AND THE LORD’S SUPPER – THE MEANINGS OF THEM ALL The purpose of this article is not for dispute. It is to provide information.

Persevere Even If It Gets Hard

Contributed by Richard Tow on Dec 8, 2020

Believers are encouraged to not lose heart and give up, even in the face of trials and difficulties. To continue in the faith we should continue doing good toward others, continue in prayer, and continue in the word.

I take as our subject today, the call in Scripture to persevere—to steadfastly continue in the faith no matter what happens.. Some of you have walked with the Lord for many years. You have fought some battles. You have not done it perfectly, but you have continued to follow the Lord. You have ...read more

Jesus The Great I Am

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 19, 2018

Many people have claimed that Jesus never claimed to be God. Those people are dead wrong. Jesus actually claimed to be God and He did so repeatedly. In fact that is why the Jewish religious leaders were so angry with Jesus. He wouldn’t stop doing it.

"Nicodemus Wears A White Hat”

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Mar 11, 2021

Good cowboys wear white hats. Nicodemus was depending on his "goodness", keeping Jewish rules and his connection to Abraham. Our new American theology is not different....we want to depend on our own goodness. Jesus is not "one" way, but the only way.
