Everything Falls Apart Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

The story of what happened in the Garden of Eden is important – powerfully important. And I want to make you aware at the outset, that this is not just the story of the wrongdoings of two people. No, it’s the story of how the first two people’s wrongdoing affects you and me.

We’re doing a series on God’s Big Story where we are tracing the central storyline of the Bible. The Bible isn’t a mass of unconnected stories. Instead, it is one story. And that is exactly the aim of this series – to see the big picture of the Bible. I want you to see the Bible is a single story. ...read more

A Prayer For Revival Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 14, 2021

Many of you are praying for a better life and if God were to grant you your request, you would quickly become overconfident. And you would quickly move to spiritual indifference. Some of you are praying against THE VERY circumstances that God has arranged so you would better experience Him.

I want to introduce you to a way you can pray for your believing friends to experience revival. Many of you enjoy speaking to your parents as often as you like. I was part of a funeral this week for a good man, a husband, and a father. He had been a member of this church for over twenty years and ...read more

Be Steadfast

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 21, 2021

At a church fellowship supper, some Christian men were talking about their jobs. One of them spoke up and said, “I have a good job offer but it would require that I would have to move too far from the church.”

The man he was talking to said, “Take the job, you can always find another church somewhere else!” This man’s answer is typical of many people in our age. That is, forget about commitment, you can always find: • Another spouse • Another job • Another home • Another church This seems to be the ...read more

The End Of The Age Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Jul 30, 2021

As we approach the chaos of the end of the age, stay true to the Lord, stay calm in the crisis, and stay strong in the faith.

To start a discussion on core values, a youth pastor in Saskatchewan, Canada, asked his youth group: “What would you do if your doctor told you that you had only 24 hours to live?” The students talked about being with friends and family, and the discussion seemed headed in the right direction. But ...read more

He That Winneth Souls Is Wise No. 9

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 31, 2022

The book of Acts is one of the most exciting books of the Bible.

For example, in Acts 16 we see Paul and Barnabas placed in prison. Notice, in verses 20b - 21, what they were charged with - "...These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city, and teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans." Paul and ...read more

Issachar And Zebulun Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 3, 2022

The sages read Genesis 49:13-15 very differently. They glorified Issachar while explaining away Zebulun's calm superiority in a way that does not denigrate Issachar. Zebulun was an aggressive tribe on the ascendancy, but Issachar was comparatively weak.

Issachar and Zebulun Among Jacob's sons from Leah, Issachar was the fifth and Zebulun the sixth (Genesis 30:18-20). 18Then Leah said, "God has given me my wages because I gave my maid to my husband." So she named him Issachar. 19Leah conceived again and bore a sixth son to Jacob. ...read more

Joyful Saints Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 1, 2021

A saint is not determined by what they are, but by where they are. If they are in Christ, that is the bottom line. The degree of holiness varies tremendously, but all who are in Christ are equally saints.

Roger Fredricksen, a well-known pastor in my hometown of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, wrote a book titled God Loves The Dandelions. In it he tells of how he and his wife Ruth were at a small cabin on the lake in Minnesota. They had just finished reading the book of Philippians with all its powerful ...read more

Part 2 of a 2-part sermon that examines the High Priestly Prayer of Jesus as he prayed for God’s glory to be displayed in his life, and as he prayed for victory for the disciples who will carry the work forward on his behalf.

If you’re like me, one of the most frustrating aspects of my spiritual life is my prayer life. I don’t ever feel like I am praying enough. I feel like my mind wanders too often in prayer. I feel like my prayers are too repetitive at times. I don’t know why my appetite for prayer isn’t higher than ...read more

Give Sin No Quarter

Contributed by Perry Greene on Jan 21, 2023

We fight sin in our lives and in the life of the nation.

Perry’s Scope 9 Give Sin No Quarter For years I have heard Christians are to draw a parallel to heaven with the Hebrews’ entrance into Canaan. Songs like “On Jordan’s Stormy Banks I Stand” reinforce this idea. The first stanza of the song reads: On Jordan's stormy banks I stand, and cast a ...read more
