    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020
     | 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

    People Of The First Christmas-The Magi Or Wise Men Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 29, 2020
     | 3,360 views

    Even though the Magi or "wise men" have had a Christmas carol or two (or more) written about them, they're only mentioned in one paragraph of Matthew's Gospel. They came from a far distance, worshiped the Christ Child, and then went back home, never to be heard from again.

    Introduction: the shepherds of Bethlehem were the only recorded visitors to go see Joseph, Mary, and Baby Jesus on the night He was born. Sometime later, Matthew recorded that “wise men (KJV)” or magi (several other translations) came to Jerusalem. The purpose of their visit was to worship the One ...read more

    Kaiser Wilhelm II entered Jerusalem through the Jaffa gate mounted on a beautiful white horse. Nearly 2000 years before, Jesus had entered Jerusalem through the Eastern gate mounted upon a humble donkey. Two dignitaries entered the same city in two different ways. Why the differences?

    OPEN: The last emperor of Germany was Kaiser Wilhelm II and, in 1898 he decided to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. At the time, the once great Jerusalem was in serious need of attention. So 6 months before the Kaiser’s scheduled arrival, the Sultan replaced the mayor of Jerusalem with a more ...read more

    Psalm 11 reminds us that even though the situation around us seems to be out of control, chaotic, very dangerous, and scary, God, whose throne is in heaven, sees everyone and everything, is still in control. Therefore, we can trust in Him and make Him our security and our refuge.

    Opening: Last Sunday, we have learned six things from Ephesians 5:15-20 that God wants to do this year and in the rest of our lives: 1) To be careful in spending our time 2) To be productive 3) To be wise 4) To be filled by the Spirit 5) To praise God 6) To be thankful in all circumstances. Today, ...read more

     | 2,326 views

    This is the 27th of 31 devotions in a series called, 'The Church Called Jonah.' This devotion is about Jonah rebelling against the Lord the second time - this time for a different reason though.

    We look at the fall of King Saul. We see how he rationalized his sins by selective obedience, shifting blame, and subterfuge. Then we study the true nature of obedience and end with an enlightening story.

    Humiliated Redemption Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Mar 5, 2021
     | 2,918 views

    Stripping Jesus naked and gambling over his clothes is business as usual for the Roman soldiers. However, because the humiliation of Jesus is ordained by God for our redemption, we cannot treat the nakedness of our crucified Jesus in a business as usual fashion.

    Message John 19:23-24 Why Are You Naked? Humiliated Redemption During the crucifixion of Jesus there is a situation which arises that adds to the humiliation that Jesus is experiencing. John 19:23-24 gives us the most comprehensive description. 23 When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his ...read more

     | 1,681 views

    So how do we honestly number our days (Psalm 90:12)? Consider Ephesians 5:15-16: "Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil" (RSV).

    Ephesians 5: 15. Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, 16. making the most of the time, because the days are evil. 17.
