God Means What He Says! Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Feb 18, 2017

God's commands are to be obeyed. We excuse disobedience at the threat of divine judgement.

“An old prophet lived in Bethel. And his sons came and told him all that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. They also told to their father the words that he had spoken to the king. And their father said to them, ‘Which way did he go?’ And his sons showed him the way that the man of God ...read more

Can Beauty Come From Judgment

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jul 9, 2017

We sing, "This Is My Father's World", but it really isn't the world or universe He created. A wrecking ball has hit it.

Can Beauty Come From Judgment? Gen 1:31  And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.  As some of you know my wife and I took a recent vacation to Colorado and then ...read more

Noah's Ark - For Adults

Contributed by Betty Johnson on Jun 28, 2012

Children enjoy hearing about the animals and the big boat and the rainbow and how God rescued Noah and his family, but really, the story of Noah is a sobering account of divine judgement upon all of humankind, followed by a beautiful expression of God's g

Noah’s Ark - for Adults Scripture: Genesis 6:1-9:17 Introduction: This week, about Tuesday, I asked Ron what I should preach on today and he said, “Noah, Building the Ark.” So, I thought about that, and then in the evening I read the story of Noah. Noah and the Ark is ...read more

An expository look at the 7 Trumpet judgments found in Revelation 8

1 When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2 Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer, and he was given much incense to offer with ...read more

Prayer

Contributed by Greg Nance on Aug 14, 2013

Acts 12 has both answered and unanswered prayers within it. We tend to like it better when we get a "yes" from heaven, but God might actually be doing greater things for us when the answer is "no."

When is the last time you prayed earnestly for something? What do you expect when you pray? What do you pray for most? I think about the family of a small child who is dying in a cancer ward. They pray night and day and are joined in prayer by hundreds of others asking God to spare the life of ...read more

Embrace A Genuine Superhero

Contributed by Daniel Habben on May 8, 2016

Ascension assures us that Jesus has all power and reigns on our behalf. It is he who we want to embrace more than we embrace Batman or Superman.

Have you noticed all the superhero movies in the last five years? There’s been Superman, Spiderman, Batman, Iron Man, X-Men… It would probably take you a week maybe even two weeks of binge watching to catch up on all the superhero movies. That tells me one of two things: either movie ...read more

It's Time To Get Serious About Mercy

Contributed by Theresa Ratliff on Mar 26, 2013

We are poor witnesses when we fail to model God's love, mercy, and grace.

In the book of John, Jesus often uses words and phrases that have more than one meaning to make a point. For example, when he discusses being “born again” with Nicodemus, he uses a word which means both “again” and “from above”. In today’s scripture lesson, ...read more

Let Justice Run Down

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 15, 2021

In Amos' time, justice and righteousness no longer prevailed in Israel; but rather, it had become wormwood. Wormwood is toxic, so Israel was dealing with a toxic justice system - but God was going to bring justice!

In Amos 5:24, we read, “Let justice run down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream!” This is a verse that probably resonates with us all. We all desire justice! I read some Christian articles that predicted the year 2020 to be “the year of justice,” but I doubt anyone who made these ...read more

Cain & Abel Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Feb 18, 2012

Genesis 4:1-16 gives a picture of faith and how it is only by genuine faith through an approved sacrifice, that we can approach God. The rejection of this means rejection by God Himself.

Canada made international news recently for the Shafia murder trial. What should have been a refuge for the healthy development of family, became an environment for intimidation that eventually lead to murder. A misplaced understanding of honor, resulted in the murder of siblings. Tooba Mohammad ...read more

Fullness Of Joy And Rivers Of Pleasure

Contributed by C Jordan on Apr 25, 2006

There’s something missing in the lives of so many of God’s people, and it’s called JOY. God’s desire is that we would experience fullness of joy, and rivers of pleasure.

FULNESS OF JOY AND RIVERS OF PLEASURE: By Pastor Chris Jordan This morning when you woke up, I hope that your heart was the same as mine, and that you said as the Psalmist David did, “I was glad when they said unto me, let us go to the house of the Lord!” (Psalm 122:1).

Swing The Sickle Series

Contributed by Mark Armstrong on Feb 17, 2019

God's judgement is fearful. God will call to account those who reject him. Don't say you weren't warned. Return to the Lord.

The great and terrible day of the Lord. Are you afraid of God? Do you secretly harbour a fear of him? Maybe in your upbringing you were introduced to a god who scared you and this was reinforced as you read those violent stories in the OT. Does a fear of God turn you away him? The language that ...read more
