Second Sunday Of Advent- Year A -- The Ax Lies At The Root Of The Trees

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Dec 5, 2025

When the axe of Jesus Christ hits the tree of people's lives; heed the Advent voice to repent!

Men who cut down the beloved, 200-year-old iconic Sycamore tree in Northern England were sentenced to more than 4 years in prison.

Soaking In Christ's "jesusness"

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 13, 2023

We are over our lifetime changed into His image. That’s what God wants for us, and that’s what we come together weekly to pray for.

Third Sunday in Advent 2023 (sermon 2) Many years ago I had a theology professor who told me that the secret to successfully teaching theology is found in this letter of St. Paul to the Thessalonians: “Test everything.” And that’s actually good advice. First, if you are a manager–and all teachers ...read more

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 19, 2023

Repent of any family sins we may have on our consciences.

Saturday before Christmas 2023 There is only one God, and He is not inside His own creation, of course. That’s not a spatial or temporal statement, because God transcends space and time; God is other than space and time.

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Dec 5, 2024

We are representatives to the Light of Christ in our world today to illumine His Truth to others.

ONE THING I HAVE SEEN, TIME AFTER TIME, IN MOST WESTERN MOVIES AND TELEVISION SHOWS IS THAT JUSTICE CANNOT BE TRULY SERVED UNLESS THE REAL WITNESSES COME FORWARD TO TELL THE TRUTH TO CONVICT THE “BAD GUYS” TO KEEP THEM FROM LITERALLY “GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER.” IT IS A GREAT INJUSTICE IF THOSE IN ...read more

Truth And Consequences Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jun 26, 2023

John the Baptizer experienced severe consequences for standing for God's truth. In this interlude in Mark's Gospel we learn the lesson that discipleship is costly and we learn about people's different reactions to the truth.

A. How many of you remember the show “Truth or Consequences”? 1. Anyone who remembers the show is either old or is a radio and TV history buff. 2. “Truth or Consequences” was a long-running wild and wacky game show. 3. It was on the radio from 1940 to 1957 and was on TV from 1950 to ...read more

Was The Lord Pleased To Crush Jesus?

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 16, 2024

God didn’t watch and enjoy the show; God gave everything so that we could participate in that “divine comedy” and experience for ourselves the happy ending.

Twenty Ninth Sunday in Course 2024 Each week our prayer group spends the better part of an hour reading and praying over the Scripture we hear on the next Sunday.

Encounters With Faith (Luke 7)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Nov 3, 2024

How do we react when encountered with faith? Let's look at Luke 7.

Are we sometimes amazed at the faith of those outside our church community? Whose faith healed a widow’s son? How great in God’s eyes is the least member of God’s kingdom? Can a sinner show more faith than many in our congregations? Let’s look at Luke 7. Centurion What was there about a Roman ...read more

Thirteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year B- Reach Out And Touch Him!

Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 25, 2024

What does it feel like to touch Jesus’ clothes? What does it feel like to have power come out from you?

Our Gospel today is about two people who came to Jesus for help with a medical problem. “My left arm hurt me,” said a senior citizen, “and so did my right foot, my neck and my back. Then I went to the doctor and he tapped my knee with a little hammer.” “So how are you now?” asked a friend. “Now ...read more

Church Growth Spreads (Acts 8)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Aug 20, 2025

Does persecution often create church growth?

Does the church often grow faster in times of persecution? Let’s look at Acts 8. Did the church in Jerusalem scatter due to severe harassment? Who was one of the principal persecutors?

The Colossal Image Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 22, 2021

In the dream of Nebuchadnezzar we see in the miraculous stone's demolishing of the colossal image the triumph of the kingdom of God over the kingdoms of men.

If we say something is big we assume we have said something important. If the grand stand is packed with the biggest crowd ever, this is a big deal, even if the game was not worth seeing. The big blast is all the rage on the screen or on the stage. Everything has to be gigantic to get our ...read more
