Which Cross Is Yours

Contributed by Dr. Jerry N. Watts on Dec 6, 2016

To preach this message, I showed the "Three Crosses of Golgotha" and named each cross. The title of the message became the altar call.

• The greatest picture of love ever displayed was when Jesus died on the cross.

But never miss this critical part. • He didn’t just ...read more

Passionate About The Church Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 21, 2016

Paul was passionate about the church. He had developed a personal relationship with them and knew their needs and concerns. Pastors, and those within the church, can glean much from the Apostle in this passage. We need the commitment and passion he had.

"God Make Us Good Again"

Contributed by Gerald Roberts on Jan 26, 2017

The message helps us understand God doesn't expect us to be great, but he does expect us to be good by doing justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly.

Four thousand years ago, barrenness was the ultimate disgrace; it was seen as a sign of divine disfavor. If you don’t have children, it’s because God’s got something against you. Period. A woman who couldn’t conceive suffered not only lack of approval, but also the threat of divorce. And barrenness ...read more

Parable Of The Perfect Father

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jun 18, 2017

Jesus' Parable of the Prodigal Son teaches us how to treat others: with freemdom to make mistakes, with forgiveness in second chances, and with favor out of unconditional love. God is the perfect Father, showing us all three. (Father's Day message)

Since the real hero of the story is the father, I thought it might be a good story to look at today. Let’s consider some gifts ...read more

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Aug 8, 2017

In prophecies about the falls of and Jerusalem and (figuratively) Babylon, actually separated by centuries, the writers said that the voice of the bridegroom and bride will not be heard any longer in each city. What did these prophecies mean?

Pharisees Increase Attack Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 21, 2017

Pharisees and Sadducees came seeking a sign, though Jesus had already given many. They wanted to see something different than He had already done; every miracle that Christ had done was a sign, for no man could do what He did unless God were with him.
