Contributed by Pastor C Burns on Aug 17, 2022

Sermon on the Mount - Matthew 5

Matthew 5:13-14 (Jesus Teaches about Salt and Light) If a seasoning has no flavor, it has no value. If Christians make no effort to affect the world around them, they are of little value to God.

The Voice

Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Dec 29, 2024

John knew who he was; "I am the voice". A voice is temporary. A voice is fleeting. A voice is fading. John saw himself as a fading voice that is crying out in the wilderness. Each generation has a voice, and we are the temporary voice for this time for this place.

In 1948, ...a remarkable religious phenomenon occurred... in the United States. It began in a tent ... near Hollywood California, ...under the preaching ... of a young evangelist. The crowds were sparse at first ... but as the preaching continued, ... the crowds began to grow. At first, ... ...read more

Visionary View: Don't Hide In Plain Sight Series

A United Ministry (Numbers 8)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Nov 10, 2024

Unlike our churches, the Levites were united in ministry. What can we learn from Numbers 8?

Did the menorah picture the tree of life and a light to the nations? What can we learn from the ordination of the Levites? How does that compare to elders and deacons? Let’s look at Numbers 8. Is it significant that the lampstand is a unit, but the seven churches of Revelation are individual ...read more

The King Teaches His People (Matthew 5:13-48)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Nov 25, 2024

The Lord Jesus Christ began His "sermon on the mount" by addressing the blessings His people possess. He continues His teachings, covering topics such as influence, the Law, behavior, and how to love one's enemies.

Matthew 5:13-16: Jesus compared all true believers to salt, which was used as not only a flavoring but as a preservative against spoilage.

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 16, 2012

We pick up the story from where we left off—Jesus’ disciples asked Him about the destruction of the Temple and, presumably, when He, as the Messiah, would take over the world. Jesus told them that many events would take place prior to His return but that His disciples should not focus ...read more

Nothing Is Impossible Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jul 17, 2021

The word “impossible” means nothing to God! The birth of a baby born to a virgin was a miracle! The Lord can also miraculously bring light to a dark situation. “Never doubt in the dark, what God spoke while you were in the light.”

I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Nothing Is Impossible,” as we briefly touch on the account of how baby Jesus was born to the Virgin Mary. I would like to begin with some inspirational quotes and illustrations; and I’ll start by sharing one entitled “Impossible Takes Longer.” Charles F. ...read more
