    "christ Is Coming!" The Call Of The Old Testament Prophets Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Jan 3, 2019
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,535 views

    The countdown to Christmas is on! At least in most houses. It might have begun in November or possibly even earlier. But the countdown to Christmas actually began thousands of years ago when God first made the promise to send the Savior Jesus.

    Has the countdown begun at your house? “What countdown?” you might ask. But don’t pretend like you don’t know what I’m talking about. The countdown to Christmas, of course! Now that countdown might be driven by different things. Some of you might be counting down the days to Christmas because ...read more

    "christ Is Coming!" The Call Of John The Baptist Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Jan 3, 2019
     | 5,869 views

    Is your Christmas preparation festive or frantic? What if you could narrow down preparation for Christmas to one, single thing? What is it? John the Baptist reminded the people of his day and us of the one thing necessary to be ready for Christ's coming!

    “Deck the halls with boughs of holly. Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la. 'Tis the season to be jolly. Fa-la-la-la-la…” Hold on! Tis the season to be JOLLY? You might slightly disagree with that when you look at your December calendar or attempt to do some shopping. It seems more like, ‘tis the ...read more

    "christ Is Coming!" The Call Continues! Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Jan 3, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,439 views

    How is the first coming of Christ at Christmas connected to the coming of Christ at the end of time? See the connections and how the same preparation makes us ready to celebrate and anticipate the coming of Christ.

    When you look at that picture of a mountain range, can you tell me which mountain is closest or where one begins and the other ends? It’s kind of hard to tell from a distance, isn’t it? Only when you get closer, into the mountain range itself will you be able to tell which comes first and where ...read more

    Jerusalem Alone Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Jan 8, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,366 views

    The story of a 12 year-old boy left behind in Jerusalem by his parents? Sound familiar? Almost sounds like a Christmas classic movie! Not exactly. This is the story of the Son of God, knowing who he was and why he was here.

    As I read through the account from Luke 2 which you heard this morning of how Jesus was left behind by his parents in Jerusalem, I couldn’t help but think of what has become classic Christmas movie, “Home Alone.” If you’re not familiar with the movie, it’s about a boy around the age of 10-12 ...read more

    Jesus' First Miracle Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Feb 20, 2019
     | 7,254 views

    “This just doesn’t seem to make much sense.” How many times do you think the people there for Jesus' first miracle asked that question? This event in the life of Jesus confirms exactly who Jesus was and how God works – amazing solutions that we would have never expected.

    Just this past week, one of my daughters was looking through the scrapbooks that my wife has assembled throughout the years of various events in their lives. One of the things you’ll find for each of them is the famous “First day of school” picture. Those pictures are kind of fun to look at and ...read more

    Is Jesus What You Expected?

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Feb 20, 2019
    based on 2 ratings
     | 8,684 views

    Jesus' sermon in his hometown synagogue might not have gone as you would expect. But Jesus shows us that his Word is sometimes welcomed, other times rejected, but ALWAYS powerful.

    Expectations. “Do you really think that we’re going to get all that snow that they say we’re supposed to get?” “Have you heard about the frigid temperatures that are predicted?” “Do you think that they’ll cancel school?” The expectations, the anticipation and the excitement was hard to escape. ...read more

    Ready For Discipleship?

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Feb 20, 2019
     | 5,638 views

    Are you ready to be a disciple of the Lord Jesus? Two examples: one from the Old Testament and one from the New Testament shows us what it takes to be disciple of the Lord Jesus. See how the Lord calls and equips his disciples.

    I have this reoccurring nightmare that goes something like this. It’s Sunday morning. I’m at church. The service is just about ready to start. I realize that I forgot to write a sermon. Why? I’m not sure. The church service is starting and I’m frantically trying to figure out what I’m going ...read more

    Blessed?

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Feb 20, 2019
    based on 2 ratings
     | 9,129 views

    Where do you look to for evidence of God's blessing? Are you looking to the right places? Jesus tells us to look to some rather unusual places to find his blessing while also providing us with a list of warnings.

    How are you doing this morning? There used to be a man who when he walked into church on Sunday mornings and I asked him how he was doing, he would respond with a single word. He would say, “Blessed!” Every week he said the same thing. How many of us would give that response today? Maybe all ...read more

    If I Had Only One Sermon To Preach . . .

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Nov 6, 2019
     | 5,631 views

    You have only one chance to preach a sermon. What text would you use?

    Many years ago, I remember reading a book called “If I had only one sermon to preach”. The photos of the ministers on the front cover or dust jacket made me think twice about reading it, though, because these men had some of the most sour expressions I’ve ever seen! It reminded me of a bit of ...read more

     | 5,609 views

    This contribution is based on a message preached June 2, 2013, at the Eolia Baptist Church, Eolia, MO. This is not an exact transcription.

    Thank you for giving me the privilege of sharing a message from God’s Word today. As some of you have found out, I’m originally from West Virginia but my wife is a native of Missouri, so, any questions, she can help translate for you!

    Use The Best To Stand The Test

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Nov 23, 2019
     | 6,562 views

    Every Christian will have his or her deeds tested by fire. If anyone is not ready, there is still time to make corrections. But this life is all we have, so please, live it wisely!

    Use the best to stand the test Some time ago, I saw a question which read, “What on earth are you doing for Heaven’s sake?” That question could be taken any number of ways. I definitely wish more preachers had used this text so as to remind us that our deeds are important, and that this life is ...read more

    Paul At Athens: Opportunities, Obstacles, And Outcomes

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 5, 2019
     | 4,146 views

    Paul looked for ways to share the Gospel in a most unlikely place. He gave them something to think about!

    Our text is from Acts, chapter 17, and here is the background. Paul has left Philippi, as written in Acts 16, and now he’s heading to Athens after he had been in Thessalonica and Berea. He’s now there in Athens, which was the capital of thought in those days. Athens was one of the largest and most ...read more

    Stay True To The Lord

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 10, 2019
     | 3,655 views

    The Gospel was spreading and people were trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation. Especially in Antioch, they needed encouragement and who better than Barnabas to fulfill that ministry!

    Stay True to the Lord (Based on a message preached at First Baptist Church, Glasgow, MO) The background for today’s message comes from the Book of Acts, chapter 11, verses 19 through 26. Luke wrote these words under the Holy Spirit’s guidance about how things were beginning to change. ...read more

    What Does It Mean To Be Successful? Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 25, 2019
     | 3,948 views

    The dictionary has definitions of success and successful. Being successful in this life is no guarantee one will be successful in the next life!

    Preface: The dictionary has a few definitions of success, mostly with the idea of accomplishing something or acquiring something (you either do something or get something you want to do). Jesus has been engaged in teaching and conversation with others (see chapter 11 and 12:1-12) but some of the ...read more
