Blowing Up Boxes Series

Contributed by Lanny Smith on Feb 24, 2021

A Simple Solution To Suffering Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021

Paul was a great sufferer of all kinds of unjust pain, and it was not because of sin, but because he was a servant of Christ.

One of the good things to come out of suffering is this: It forces those who cannot see any sense in it to grapple with the mystery, and strive to squeeze some meaning out of it. Almost everyone who writes on suffering does so out of their own personal encounter with this mysterious monster. In ...read more

Triumph Over Trials Sermon Iii: View Suffering As Inevitable But Redeemable Series

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on May 13, 2020

In times like these, when awareness of the inevitability of suffering gives rise to questions and doubts, mature Christians rely on the Word of God and reflect upon personal experiences of trusting God in and through it all.

MATURE CHRISTIANS VIEW SUFFERING AS INEVITABLE BUT REDEEMABLE Talking to myself this past week, a question posed by many kept surfacing in my mind: “Why am I Suffering”? The answer I gave to myself was, “I am not suffering”. My motto could very well be ...read more

Choice

Contributed by Rick Pendleton on Dec 31, 2014

See here is a great truth… it is not enough to believe that Jesus exists, or that he lived long ago, or that he was a good man, or even a great man

Choice John 9 Today we have a very familiar story, but I want to come at it from a different angle. Let’s cruise through the story. Jesus is walking through the streets of Jerusalem, in the middle of a large crowd. He did this because he was hiding. If you look at the end of chapter 8, you ...read more

John Chapter 9 Part 2 Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Aug 13, 2013

This sermon is about Jesus being the light of the world. This is a great miracle story and right when it gets going Jesus interrupts with a two sentence insight about Himself. What an awesome interruption! We need to be interrupted more often!

Today we’ll be taking a further look at the miracle of Jesus healing the man born blind. Last week we saw that Jesus, being omniscient or all knowing, knew that the man was blind from birth and that his blindness not the result of personal sin or the sin of his parents. We also saw that the ...read more

A Man Born Blind Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on May 17, 2013

There is more than one form of blindness. Are you looking to see God at work in the world? Are you pointing out those works of God to others so they too can see?

Blindness is a terrible thing isn’t it? We rely on our eyes so much for experiencing the world, for enjoying life, for perceiving reality. If your eyes are failing or you know someone with poor eyesight you’ll know what a loss it is, how many restrictions it puts on your life. But you ...read more

Trapped In The Fog

Contributed by Rodney Johnson Sr., on Mar 7, 2013

The man born blind was trapped in the fog from birth. Until the light of Christ illuminates us, we too are trapped in the fog from birth.

“Trapped in the FOG” Introduction: Today we are introduced to a man who’s name could very well be “Mr. Born Blind.” Born Blind is a strange mixture of words in the believer’s community. It’s a kind of oxymoron. We generally think of acquired sickness or sickness that results from sin generally or ...read more
