The Gift

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Aug 21, 2023

• Do the holidays break you out of your routine? • Do you go into a holiday traditional? • Lisa often says our tradition is that we have no tradition!

Recently I read a social media post about The Virgin Mary, and how her traditional sense of family was changed forever. She didn’t ask for this disruption in her life, but when she got the news from the angel, about the gift she was to receive, she responds by singing a song. Oftentimes, isn’t that ...read more

Who Needs Miracles?

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Apr 11, 2023

Would you rather have a faith that is based on eye-catching, headline-grabbing miracles, or a faith which doesn’t need them?

I preached my first sermon from this pulpit on January 19, 1997. It’s been well over a year now, although sometimes it seems much longer because I am so very much at home. But as much as one can think of that as a time of beginning, it was also a time of ending. I expect that only those of you who ...read more

Proclamation To Liberation

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Nov 30, 2020

If the Gospel is proclaimed, people will ultimately be liberated. However, what we need to see is that there is a process...

Last time we left off with Peter and the other disciples preaching the Gospel. Acts 4:13 says, “Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled.

Isa 53: 3 Jesus Was Despised Series

Contributed by Robert Irvine on Apr 15, 2024

In Theology, if something is duplicated in the Bible, we can assume that God is making an effort to get our attention on the issue. So it’s interesting that the word “despised” is repeated twice in this verse. So we can say that God wants us to know that Jesus was despised.

There is a general rule in Theology that if something is duplicated in the Bible, we can safely assume that God is making a determined effort to get our attention on the issue. And so it’s interesting that the word “despised” is repeated twice in this verse. So we can say that God wants us to face ...read more

Jesus Was Rejected Series

Contributed by Robert Irvine on Apr 23, 2024

Jesus was rejected by his family, by his local religious leaders, by Judas Iscariot, by Simon Peter, and then finally by God. So expect to be rejected if you share the Good News of Jesus Christ and him crucified.

The Old Testament word “hadel” is used in this verse that is transliterated as rejected, but this word has also been used in the Bible to mean forbearing. The word “hadel” is used in Ez 3: when God told the prophet that some will listen to the message but there will also be those who refuse to ...read more

What To Do In The Day Of Trouble Series

Contributed by Kevin Broyhill on Sep 26, 2024

Psalm 41 describes a "time of trouble". Like David and Jesus, we all face our own evil days. Ephesians 6:13 reminds us to put on the whole armor of God to stand firm in these times of spiritual warfare. No one is immune, but God equips us to endure.

Sent, Not Settled Series

Contributed by Apostle Dr. Ruben L. Broadnax Jr. on Oct 23, 2024

The early church, described in the book of Acts, was anything but comfortable. It was a church that was sent, not settled—a church that moved beyond the familiar to reach a world in desperate need of hope.

We are living in a time when comfort has become king. We love to settle down, get comfortable, and create spaces that are predictable and safe. We build churches with padded pews and air-conditioned sanctuaries, and we attend services that are carefully planned and well-executed. And yet, if we’re ...read more
