    Unshakeable Joy In A Shaking World - Advent Message

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Dec 14, 2025
     | 270 views

    This is a message about joy, during Advent. It is about how it is that we can have joy that does not change in the midst of our circumstances, and how we can sustain our awareness of that joy through loving obedience to God.

    Sermon for Advent 3 - Joy - December 14, 2025 - What gives you joy? Name one thing. What are some examples of joy? Of course I’ve had times of great happiness in my life which come close to joy. Marrying my beautiful wife Barbara in 1987 was a great highlight. And then comes the challenge of ...read more

    1. It’s stronger than our worst enemies (vs. 16-18). 2. It’s worth the worst suffering (vs. 19-23). 3. It gives a joyful song in our darkest night (vs. 23-25). 4. It will save anyone who believes in Jesus (vs. 26-34).

    Celebrate Salvation!

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 2, 2021
     | 4,497 views

    This impulse must always live among us: a joyful seeking after the LORD. For we’ve seen how God has saved us through his only Son. We have such great reason for joy, even if we possess little, or even if we have much to grieve. Even so, there is great joy in Christ.

    If there’s ever a special occasion, we like to celebrate it with a meal. If someone graduates from school, or has a significant birthday, or if there’s a wedding, we get together for something to eat and drink. For food can be very festive. We see this in the Bible too. Think of all the feasts God ...read more

    The Future Restoration Of Israel - Part 6 - Scriptures In Isaiah Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 14, 2022
     | 2,129 views

    There'll be great comfort in Israel's restoration. We have terms like "everlasting joy" and "joyful shouting" as the redeemed return to Zion, Messiah welcomes these as they arrive with, "Here I am". They'll know, peace, happiness and salvation.

    THE FUTURE RESTORATION OF ISRAEL - PART 6 - SCRIPTURES IN ISAIAH We begin Part 6 and continue in the book of Isaiah looking at more scriptures dealing with the future restoration of Israel. I hope you can catch the great joy this will be to the Jews when the Lord calls His earthly people ...read more

    Be Fruitful And Multiply

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 18, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,383 views

    The Creator's command, "Be Fruitful and Multiply," is largely ignored by the people of God today. We have much to learn even with the second part of His command to subdue the earth.

    “God blessed [the man and the woman]. And God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.’” [1] Undoubtedly, I am venturing into ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,084 views

    In this final message of the Rooted series, we are called to surrender to God’s pruning, examine the fruit of our lives, and live Spirit-led, obedient lives that bear lasting fruit—becoming faithful laborers in a world ripe for the harvest.

    The Harvest Matthew 9:35-38 How I love the autumn season! There's something about this time of year that stirs the soul—inviting reflection, gratitude, and wonder. The blazing heat of summer has softened into cool, gentle breezes. The air feels lighter, clearer, and even the bugs—those ...read more

    Mercy Seat

    based on 58 ratings
     | 9,149 views

    So the Ark represented for Israel the localized presence of God in judgment, mercy, forgiveness, and love; and because it contained the Ten Commandments, it was a visible reminder that their life was to be lived in obedience to the expressed will of G

    INTRODUCTION: The Mercy Seat was on top of the lid of the Ark of Covenant. It was described by Martin Luther in his German Bible as the mercy seat because the Lord “sat” enthroned over it in mercy, invisibly present where the wingtips of two cherubim met above it, guarding the divine presence. So ...read more

    We Must See Jesus

    based on 241 ratings
     | 6,461 views

    Only personal, significant contact with our risen Lord brings about true faith and obedience. All else is only ritual, and religious rhetoric. We MUST see Jesus!

    Although it seems in my own experience that the account of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus is primarily used when preaching during the Easter season, I am sure that through the years it has been a favorite passage for many preachers, as well as lay students of the scriptures.

    The World Demands A Life-Giving Vision Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 20, 2002
    based on 35 ratings
     | 6,988 views

    Sermon delivered in support of our theme for 2002, and on the occasion of our annual meeting. A vision brings death if it is not communicated; it is discerned in prayer; and it always calls for repentance for the incompleteness of our obedience.

    Two things you learn, if you are at all observant about churches. First, that church people do not agree on their vision of what the church should be about; and, second, that the world knows what the church ought to be about better than church people know. We who gather week by week as the church ...read more

    Jesus entrusted us as His servants to do His work and be obedient to the truth we’ve received. If He came today, what kind of servant would you be?

    The Misery of Spiritual Mismanagement Luke 12:40-48 by David O. Dykes INTRODUCTION According to Luke 12:40-48, Jesus is telling us we are all to be managers of important resources. Some people do a good job, and others are poor spiritual managers. Which kind are you? Beginning in verse 35, Jesus ...read more

    Balaam’s sin was to hear only what he wanted to hear from God. It was a matter of the heart desiring the things of this world rather than obedience to God’s will.

    ‘GIVING OF YOURSELF” I remember once a friend had told me that she had scrimped her pennies to purchase a heavy wool winter coat.
