    How Can We Stand In The Gap?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 27, 2023
     | 1,811 views

    What is it to stand in the gap for someone else? Is it to stand in the place for another?

    In Chapter 22, we learn why judgment would be placed on Jerusalem (22:2-16), how it would approach them (22:17-22), and who would be affected by it (22:23-31). The Jewish leaders were particularly liable for the ethical environment of the country since God had picked them to lead. Those actions and ...read more

    For The Sake Of The Call

    Jesus called a bunch of smelly fishermen to share in His ministry. So, when Jesus extends a call, what does it look like? What does it entail? What might He ask us to do? Or, what might we have to let go of in order to serve Him?

    I have entitled our message this morning, “For the Sake of the Call,” and we are going to look at how Jesus called a bunch of smelly fishermen to share in His ministry. Allow me to get started with a joke: “Why did Jesus call so many fishermen to become apostles? He was always looking for a ‘net ...read more

    The Cost Of The Cross

    Contributed by Gary Holt on Apr 12, 2025
     | 400 views

    This is the account of the crucifixion. It speaks to the sacrifice Jesus made for sinners.

    “The Cross and the Cost” Matthew 27:32–50 * credit Jeff Strite sermon and Chatgpt One person commented: “Cut the Bible anywhere and it will bleed.” Our old hymns echo this truth, as they sing lovingly of the blood of Jesus: ­ “There is a fountain filled with blood” ­ “Nothing but the ...read more

    Jesus Faced Judgment In Front Of Pontius Pilate Series

    Contributed by Robert Irvine on Jul 24, 2024
     | 479 views

    Jesus was judged by Pilate and was taken away and died on the cross at Golgotha. Pilate knew that Jesus was innocent yet he substituted the innocent man, Jesus, for the guilty robber and murderer, Barabbas.

    The prophet Isaiah wrote that the suffering servant would suffer judgment. In the previous sermonm, we saw how Jesus was silent when confronted by Pontius Pilate at his illegal trial. I don’t want to repeat what has been said, but suffice it to say Jesus was judged by Pilate and was taken away and ...read more

    Lessons Concerning Idolatry In Specific–eating Meats Offered To Idols

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Aug 14, 2024
     | 516 views

    Apostle Paul warns of fellowshiping with devils. Anything concerning idols and worship to idols is taking away our true worship to Almighty God. Flee from all forms of idolatry.

    “I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils:, says Apostle Paul. To what extent are we to adhere to this rule? Fellowshiping with anyone who is a habitual sinner is fellowshiping with devils. It is to devils they worship in their iniquities. The blatant sinner is mastered by devils and ...read more

    Suiting Up

     | 379 views

    How can a sinful people live in intimate daily communion with a Holy God?

    Leviticus is probably one of the most difficult books in the Bible. The material in it ranges from unpleasant to incomprehensible and back again, with one or two flashes of clarity and simplicity almost as if to catch us off our guard. If it hadn’t been for the fact that I promised to preach on one ...read more

    God Tests Obedience, Not Loyalty - By Pastor Ondu Joseph

    Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Feb 17, 2025
     | 510 views

    Loyalty without obedience is meaningless. God does not test how much we claim to love Him; He tests whether we will follow His commands. Let us strive to be not just hearers of the Word but doers, walking in full obedience to His will.

    Scripture: 1 Samuel 15:22 - "But Samuel replied: 'Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.'" Introduction: Many believers equate loyalty to God with ...read more

    Why She Gave Series

    Contributed by Scott Sutton on Oct 31, 2022
     | 2,079 views

    Christmas is less than 2 months away, in fact it’s only 56 days from today! I don't believe anyone would argue the fact that Christmas is the season of giving. Maybe you remember this book. It is one of the most popular fiction books ever written on the subject of giving at Christmastime.

    It is called; "A Christmas Carol” written by Charles Dickens. The publishing of his book was hugely popular; its first printing of 6,000 copies sold out in less than three days, and that was back in 1843 on December 19th just 6 days before Christmas; that was without computers, television, not ...read more

    Have We Had The Scripture Test? Series

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 3, 2022
     | 977 views

    Believers are urged not to sin, but if they do, they have an advocate with God the Father. Believers are told to have love for one another, thereby showing that they are followers of Christ.

    In verses 1-2: John is at this point an extremely elderly person. He has spent practically each of his years in the service of the Lord, and a considerable amount of his readers were for sure his spiritual youngsters. John utilizes the phrase “little children” in a warm, paternal way. He is not ...read more

    Gideon: The Two Tests He Had To Pass Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Nov 5, 2022
     | 2,457 views

    Gideon had met the Angel of the LORD face to face, one day, and that night, received a message from the LORD. That message contained instructions for two of the most difficult things Gideon would ever be asked to do.

    (Note: this message is based on and edited from a sermon preached at First Baptist Church of Chamois, MO on 10-16-2022 but is not an exact transcription.) Introduction: Gideon had just realized he saw the Angel of the LORD and was probably trying to take it all in. He was one of only a few people ...read more

    A Lamb For Man

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 25, 2022
     | 939 views

    Christ is the perfect sacrifice for our sin. He is our Passover. We should not have anything to do with any past sins (“old leaven”) because He has freed us from the shackles of sin.

    Because they did not have time to wait for the bread to rise, the Hebrews were instructed to make bread without yeast (“unleavened bread”) as they prepared for their exodus from slavery in Egypt. They were told to remove all yeast from the house because it was also a symbol of sin. (Exodus 12:15, ...read more

    A Great Love Story Rarely Told

    Contributed by Craig Benner on Feb 14, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,210 views

    We all know the greatest love story is found in John 3:16. There are also many others in the Bible. A few are less talked about than others. There is one that is not considered very much, and for sure, it is hardly ever imitated or emulated.

    ONE OF THE GREATEST LOVE STORIES RARELY TOLD (and more rarely lived out) No butterflies in the stomach or cupids' arrows flying here. God is still looking for someone to espouse the vow of rescuing the perishing; even those who claim that they do not want to be saved. Text to read: Hosea ...read more

    Are You Willing To Be Offered?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 19, 2022
     | 844 views

    We are to shine like lights in a shadowy world. And to do that, we may have to be offered up for the sake of others.

    In light of everything that Christ was willing to do for them, Philippians 2:12-18 explains how Christians ought to live. The directive to “work out” salvation is to let the new birth in Christ manifest itself in one’s actions. Believers should serve God without complaining or griping as part of ...read more
