  • Why Christmas Is All About Giving (& Receiving) Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Dec 23, 2021
     | 1,976 views

    Have you ever wondered why Christmas is all about giving? You probably have an idea. But I want to make sure today that you understand exactly what it means for you.

    Have you ever wondered why Christmas is all about giving? Well, I imagine most of us have a feel for this. It’s because Jesus was all about loving and giving. But there’s a little bit more to it than that. And my goal this evening is that you don’t miss what Jesus intended Christmas to be ...read more

    Some are hailing the new vaccine for the Coronavirus the greatest news ever! But is this really true? What is truly the Greatest News Ever is the ultimate gift of Christmas!

    Christmas 2020 The Greatest News Ever Luke 1:26-45 A very significant event for the world took place this last week. At 6:31 a.m. on Tuesday, December 8th the very first government-approved dose of the Covid-19 Vaccine in the free world was administered. A nurse rolled up the sleeve of a ...read more

  • Our Problem--The Divine Diagnosis Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Oct 11, 2021
     | 2,344 views

    Something obviously is wrong with life, and this world. Just exactly what is it? God's Word gives us the divine diagnosis beginning in Romans 1:18-20.

    As I was about to write my message this past week, I read an unusual editorial on the Orange County Editorial page. It was congratulating a politician on being boring. Actually, it was congratulating a California state office holder for being scandal-free in the midst of a sea of scandals rocking ...read more

  • A Messenger From God Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Oct 11, 2021
     | 2,353 views

    Why should anyone pay attention to Paul's letter to the Romans? Paul answers these questions decisively with regard to who He was, who Jesus uniquely was declared to be, and the grace God has provided to all men who will believe in HIm

    As many of you know, I came to saving faith in Christ as an older teenager, and I began reading my Bible regularly, even then. One evening my dad poked his head into the room while I was reading my Bible. Now my dad was a rank pagan, but he said something interesting. He said, “Someday, I’m ...read more

  • The Day God Showed Up--In Person! Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Aug 18, 2021
     | 2,821 views

    How did God approach us so that we would desire a relationship with HIm? The events of Palm Sunday demonstrate how God approaches us so that we would be willing to come to Him, and trust Him with our lives.

    This morning, we are experiencing a divine coincidence. It just so happens, as you all know by know, that this morning we are celebrating and remembering Palm Sunday—the day when the pilgrims to the Feast of the Passover cut off palm branches to hail and welcome the King of Israel, Jesus of ...read more

  • The Peril Of Hardening Your Heart Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 25, 2021
     | 3,441 views

    Have you gotten used to saying "No" to God? It became a habit of the Children of Israel in the wilderness and ultimately resulted in an all-out rebellion against God that disqualified most of them from God's rest.

    Author, theologian and Professor Craig Keener tells how his mother asked him if he believed in an after-life at the age of nine, and he replied no. She agreed with him and told him how most intellectuals did as well. So he felt affirmed in his atheism. The problem was that such a worldview left ...read more

  • Today, If You Hear His Voice . . . Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Feb 1, 2021
     | 3,860 views

    The possibility of falling away from Christ is greater than most of us think--no one is entirely immune from this awful outcome. It all begins with how we come to respond to God's voice, when we know He has spoken to us, and even in small things, choose to ignore Him.

    One of the great challenges of the pastoral profession is discerning who to help among those who are in evident financial need, and when to help them, and then how much to help them. Despite our best and most sincere efforts, pastors young and old, sometimes fail. I remember well the story of a ...read more

  • How To Finish Well Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Feb 8, 2021
     | 3,305 views

    Stories abound of folks who began well in the Christian faith, and in ministry, but failed to finish well. What does the Word of God say about how we can be motivated to follow Jesus faithfully to the end?

    I was listening to one of our secular news and talk radio stations one morning this past week. And there was an innocent joke, of all things, about our subject this morning. A married couple was having a debate about who should get out of bed in the mornings to brew the coffee. Finally, the ...read more

  • How To Deal With An Impossible Situation Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Feb 15, 2021
     | 6,574 views

    Jesus and His disciples faced an absolutely impossible situation--10,000 people to feed in a deserted place, little food and too little money. How should we respond when we face the same kind of situation?

    “Life is difficult.” So says the first three words of a best-selling book by Dr. M. Scott Peck, an author and Psychiatrist, who wrote “The Road Less Traveled.” And He goes on to say that the key to dealing with the difficulty of life is just simply realizing and accepting the fact that life is ...read more

  • Accept No Substitutes Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Feb 15, 2021
     | 2,494 views

    Various pseudo-Christian spin offs claim to provide exclusively the priesthood that allows its worshipers to be made right with God. However, Hebrews 5 presents the truth that there is only one priest we will ever need--the Great High Priest Jesus Christ.

    In the summer of my 19th year I was excited to take a summer job in Yellowstone National Park working as a dishwasher in Canyon Village. I say I was excited, because I had longed dreamed of the great trout fishing amid all the natural beauty that Yellowstone is famed for. But what I didn’t count ...read more

  • The Kind Of Person God Protects Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Feb 17, 2021
     | 6,399 views

    Many of the promises of God's protection or provision in the Bible are actually conditional. They absolutely don't apply to anybody and everybody. Jesus shows us in John 6 exactly what kind of people can expect His protection and provision, and what kind of people can't.

    Psalm 91 has always, from very early in my Christian life, been one of my favorite Psalms, because it speaks so beautifully and certainly of the Lord’s protection. I mean, just listen to it—it’s makes for beautiful poetry as well as for comforting thoughts—“He who dwells in the shelter of the ...read more

  • No Turning Back Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Feb 22, 2021
     | 6,463 views

    One of the most sobering warnings in all of Scripture is found in Hebrews 6. There is a great, even awful danger of making an irreversible and eternally destructive choice to abandon Christ. This passage stresses why you don't want to go there.

    This past year I faced a bit of a dilemma. My high school class, the class of 1970, was planning to celebrate its 50-year class reunion. I was invited. Would I go? That wasn’t the real dilemma. The real dilemma was that my spiritual father was on the organizing committee—yes, the fellow who ...read more

  • An Anchor For The Soul Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 2, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,268 views

    Tossed to and fro by the difficulties of persevering in the faith? What or whom do we look to for assurance and reassurance? Hebrews 6:9-20 tells us where to find an anchor for our souls.

    I imagine as we come to the very middle of the Book of Hebrews it might be legitimate for any of you to ask if I’m ever tempted to quit, to just blow off the Christian life, to abandon Christ. And my answer is not so much that, though I must admit the thought has occurred to me, but always with ...read more

  • The Only Priest Who Matters Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 7, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,044 views

    Many so-called Christian churches claim that believers can only maintain a right relationship with God and the hope of heaven through the priests, or mediators, that they have authorized for these purposes. Does God's word support such a teaching. Find out from Hebrews 7:1-19.

    About a decade ago, I found a biological dentist who practiced in Southern California who was uniquely able to help me with some dental work that I needed done in relationship to the fatigue and the cancer I had acquired. I made a point of going down to Southern California, having made an ...read more

  • Breaking Point: Faith That Saves Vs. Faith That Doesn't Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 10, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,838 views

    At the height of popularity, Jesus makes hard statements that thin the crowds. He says many of his disciples didn't really believe. And they fell away. What's the difference between the faith that saves and the kind of faith that doesn't? This story reveals that truth.

    I’m sure that there are many of us here who have known or encountered people who were strong Christians from everything we could tell, but who have, for one reason or another, fallen away from the faith. They no longer claim to believe, they do not practice what Christ taught, they no longer ...read more
