Now Is The Time Series

Contributed by Lonnie Erwin on Jan 2, 2021

“Now is the Time” to come back to what is important to all who love God. God’s sent Jesus, His Son that we would no longer be separated from Him by the sin in our lives. What is keeping you from worshiping God?

One of my favorite songs is entitled “Heart of Worship.” The Lyrics of the song imply that we have gotten away from worshiping God and let other things replace our worship with things that are less important. Many of God’s people have let the pandemic dampen their desire to Worship God. With the ...read more

The Oasis

Contributed by David Nolte on Jan 5, 2021

When we thirst in the desert, God provides an oasis.

The old song made famous by the Sons Of The Pioneers, describes a man and his mule trekking through the desert. The sun is hot, the journey is long, the canteen is empty and the outlook is grim. He laments: “All day I’ve faced a barren waste Without the taste of water, cool water. Old Dan and I ...read more

Contributed by James Wallace on Dec 23, 2021

Have you ever wondered why Christmas is all about giving? You probably have an idea. But I want to make sure today that you understand exactly what it means for you.

Have you ever wondered why Christmas is all about giving? Well, I imagine most of us have a feel for this. It’s because Jesus was all about loving and giving.

Jesus Christ: The Great Evangelist, Part 1

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 6, 2022

In the fourth chapter of John's Gospel, the Lord Jesus is presented as the Great Evangelist. From the time He won Nathaniel (John 1:48-51) to the thief on the cross (Luke 23:39-43), He was busy bringing sinners to Himself.

In Chapter 4 of his Gospel, John has us turn our attention to the Lord Jesus as the Master Soul-Winner and our example for sharing the good news of salvation to everyone regardless of background, culture, nationality, or any circumstance. No one is exempt from hearing and receiving the message ...read more

Love Well Series

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Jan 7, 2022

To be able to love well means I have to embrace the 4 letter word “Love” in its original definition and application – Because that word “Love” has been twisted and distorted by this world – But the true meaning of love goes back to God’s meaning of love!

Jesus Christ: The Great Evangelist, Part 2

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 11, 2022

The Lord Jesus went out of His way to bring the Gospel to an anonymous woman. Her life was one of sin and isolation from others. Despite her attitude and resistance, she was won over to the grace and mercy of God. We are to follow His example.

No one is to be neglected or avoided when it comes to presenting the Good News of salvation found only in the Lord Jesus Christ (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; 1 John 2:1-2). As we read through the fourth chapter of John's Gospel, we see how Jesus went out of HIs way to give this offer of redemption ...read more

Jesus' Water Is That Good (John 4:1-15) Series

Jesus is greater than Jacob; his water is also better. It gives joy, and an abundant life, and leads to knowing Jesus and his Father (John 17:3).

Let's start this morning by simply rereading 4:1-3. These three verses mark a transition in John to a new story: (4:1) Then, when Jesus knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus, many more disciples he is making and baptizing than John-- although Jesus himself was not baptizing, ...read more

Who Is God Seeking? (John 4:16-24) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 15, 2022

The answer: People who worship, in the Spirit (not "spirit") and in the truth.

Let's start this morning by rereading last week's passage, starting from John 4:1: (4:1) Then, when Jesus knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus, many more disciples he is making and baptizing than John-- although Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples-- (3) he left ...read more

Sermon On The Water Of Life

Contributed by William Meakin on Jan 16, 2022

The water of life can emulate several different connotations.

Asma Naqi, a Pakistan born female author once remarked: “Through the passage of my life I have learned, that the power of positive association is so much stronger than any amount of negativity in the world. No matter how dark it is, a tiny beam of light is all it takes to kill the darkest of ...read more

Living Water And Hidden Food Series

Contributed by Ray Geide on Jan 17, 2022

The rule of threes says you can go about three weeks without food, three days without water, three hours without shelter, and three minutes without air. So food, water, shelter, and air are important. Without them you will die. Today we will look at two of them, water and food.

Living Water and Hidden Food John 4:10-34 The rule of threes. Do you know about this? If you were a survival expert, you would.

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 20, 2022

If they are, we need to be far more bold, in intentional, about pointing people to Jesus. Bonus discussion of how Greek imperfect verbs work.

Today's message was a little short, so I'm going to try to cheat a little at the start, and explain something that may open up the Bible to you in really unexpected ways. And then, I'll try to show you a little how it works, and how cool this is, as I go through today's passage. ...read more

Come And Experience His Welcome

Contributed by John Dobbs on Jan 28, 2022

If Jesus is powerful, passionate, and loving but not welcoming, then we are left helpless! Maybe no story in the NT expresses His welcome more than the one for today: The Samaritan Woman at the Well.

The Message Of The Samaritan For Today's Evangelism

Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Jul 13, 2020

Believers are called by God to engage in the reconciliatory of the works of the Lord and not promote our style of worship and every other thing that turns from the truth.

Once I heard words from a wise pastor that still evoke awe in my heart even as the time eclipses like a winding clock. In fact, all believers can attest to the instance of the truth of the scripture coming alive unexpectedly like a stream bursting forth. It simply means there is a possibility of ...read more

Is Free Will Really Free?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jul 23, 2020

The subject of Free Will cannot be simply defined. However, it can be described as the ability of a person to determine within themselves the choices they make and the course of action they take.

Nowhere in the Bible is there any specific mention of 'Free Will,' the divine will of God, or human free will because it never discusses philosophical subjects of any kind. It is apparent in the Bible that God is regarded as acting freely, and that humans are recognized as free agents to do ...read more

The Direct Approach

Contributed by Perry Greene on Aug 3, 2020

Sometimes Jesus speaks in "riddles" and sometimes he takes the direct approach and speaks plainly.

1.

Both men were in love with Priscilla but Miles convinced John to go on his ...read more
