    And No Man Takes It To Heart

    Contributed by Byron Sherman on Jul 25, 2023
     | 1,918 views

    1 of 1. The prophet Isaiah noted an 'environment' in Israel, where an absence of God’s righteous people went unnoticed. The absence of God’s righteous people can go unnoticed by secular society. When/Why/How does an absence of God’s righteous go unnoticed?

    “AND NO MAN TAKES IT TO HEART”—Isaiah 57:1-2 Attention: Have you ever bought something from the grocery store, only to discover later, that there is something missing from your purchase? You know you had it in the grocery cart, but it’s not there after you got home! You notice immediately that ...read more

    Contributed by Ken Sauer on Aug 2, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,171 views

    A sermon about asking God to change our perspective on generosity.

    “Jesus’ Theology of Abundance” Matthew 14:13-21 This is a remarkable passage of Scripture, so remarkable that it is the only miracle story that is found in all four Gospels. The feeding of the 5,000 (which was probably closer to 15-20,000 because they only counted the men) takes place ...read more

    The Principle Of The Golden Rule Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Mar 16, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,050 views

    Most are familiar with the Golden Rule. Bible skeptics argue there is nothing special about Jesus' teaching on this principle. His teaching, however, is unique and much different than the worldly views.

    The Principle of the Golden Rule Matthew 7:12 We come to a statement our Lord made while preaching the Sermon on the Mount that we are all familiar. No doubt each of us has heard this principle as long as we can remember. The Bible skeptic would argue there is nothing special about our Lord’s ...read more

     | 1,747 views

    There are at least four core commitments for Christian living. One is abiding in the Word. A second one is to pray your heart out.

    IMPRISONMENT OF CHRISTIANS IN CHINA is on the upswing. One report says there has been a drastic increase of assaults on Christians over the last year. That’s China, but that’s not the only place it’s happening. You can probably guess the other countries that are among the most hazardous for ...read more

    Gods Got This

     | 13,186 views

    When situations arise especially when they arise for someone else, we are quick to try to give words of encouragement we will often say cheer up God’s got this acting like it is the catch all fix all statement, that is not true according to the Bible.

    “God’s Got This” By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - So many times when situations arise especially when they arise for someone else, we are quick to try to give words of encouragement. If a person is depressed, we will often say cheer up God’s got this. If they are facing a sickness ...read more

    If Stones Could Shout

     | 1,948 views

    As Jesus entered Jerusalem he told the Pharisees, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”

    For the next few moments I want you to try to imagine what it must have been like to be among those who stood on the streets of Jerusalem on the first Palm Sunday. (I’ll even let you close your eyes if you like, as long as you promise not to go to sleep!) The city would have been bustling with ...read more

    In recent studies we have covered some very important things in the Book of Revelation. We saw …

    • The rapture of the church • The receiving of our glorified bodies • The Judgments (The Seal Judgments, The Trumpet Judgments, and The Vial Judgments) All these things will take place on earth during the seven years of the tribulation period. But we also discovered that while this is taking ...read more

     | 3,724 views

    Jesus defeated Satan at Calvary, not using His strength, but only with His weakness!Through His sacrificial death on the cross, Christ entered the citadel of the enemy -- Hell itself -- and wrested the keys from Satan, dealing him a mortal blow.

    WHEN JESUS EMBARRASSED HELL Col. 2:15 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE BATHTUB TEST......... 1. During a visit to the mental asylum, I asked the Director how do You determine whether or not a patient should be institutional-ized. 2. 'Well,' said the Director, 'we fill up a bathtub, then ...read more

    In weddings today, you can depend on something going wrong almost every time!

    Every young girl has this deep wonderful desire to have the perfect wedding. I do not want to crush these desires for these young ladies, but I do not believe there is such a thing as a perfect wedding. That is, you can: • Bring the pros in to conduct the wedding • Spend thousands of dollars on ...read more

     | 3,043 views

    Today, I want to examine two of the Parables that the Lord taught. First, let’s read about “The Parable of the Mustard Seed.”

    In Matthew 13:31-32, we read, “Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so ...read more

    The Last Days

    based on 3 ratings
     | 39,342 views

    Only someone who is completely out of touch with reality would dispute the fact that we are living in the last days. The question is... What is the church going to look like in the last days? What can we expect to see through the church?

    The Holy Spirit witnesses to us concerning the last days, and he tells us what to expect. He tells us the attitude and the spirit that will prevail in the hearts of the wicked. (2 Timothy 3:1-5 ) KJV “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. [2] For men shall be ...read more

    Unlocking Potential (August 13, 2017).

     | 6,215 views

    One of the things that parable points out is that actions have consequences. That means that we have choices that have consequences both good and bad.

    UNLOCKING POTENTIAL Text: Matthew 13:31 - 33 Have you ever underestimated the potential of anything? It only takes a spark to get a fire going right? Just think of the potential that lies within a match. One match has the potential to burn down a forest. When Jesus told the ...read more

    Thorns And Grace (July 2012).

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020
     | 7,065 views

    Perhaps one of the most intriguing passages of scripture is that of Paul's mention of the "thorn in his flesh." Paul expounded upon his metaphor of the thorn as he said that it was something that kept his pride in check.

    THORNS AND GRACE 2 Corinthians 12:1-10 I remember going barefoot as a ten year old kid, when I was living in Aiken as a preacher’s kid. As I was going barefoot, I wound up stepping on a board that had three nails in it. The pain got my attention and definitely ...read more
