Teaching the importance of church membership for those who are redeemed.

How We Got The Koran And How We Got The Bible Series

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Aug 14, 2015

Text transmission is a critical part of our faith. We must be assured we have heard from God. Here is a comparison of the two processes that brought forth the 2 Holy Books of our faiths.

Lesson 9, Which Comes First? Is it a full-blown religion, or a Book, that comes first from God? Strange question, perhaps, but important, I think. Possible answer one: In Israel, it was the religion. That is, the encounter. For many hundreds of years, there was no full book in Israel. But the ...read more

The Christian Life

Contributed by John White on Jul 5, 2019

As the years roll by we all tend to increasingly have questions about life. As Christians we know the general answers to the age-old questions, “Who am I?’ Where did I come from?” “Why am I here?” “Where am I going?”

The Christian Life James 4:13-15 “Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what [shall be] on the morrow.

Faith’s Essential Content Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Jun 3, 2024

Romans 4:23-25 provides a concise statement of the Christian faith: Lordship of Christ, his sacrificial death on the cross, and his resurrection. Salvation depends on believing these essentials. Religions that proclaim Jesus as a good teacher or prophet but deny these tenets are false religions.

Intro We have been examining Abrham’s faith as a model for the kind of faith God is looking for in you and me. Abraham’s faith was a saving faith. After describing his faith, Paul says in Romans 4:22: “And therefore ‘it was accounted to him for righteousness.’” Paul has grounded his teaching on the ...read more

The Greatness Of Melchizedek’s Order In Relation To The Levitical Priesthood Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Oct 25, 2020

In this section, the writer took his argument one step further. Not only is Melchizedek greater than Aaron, but Melchizedek has replaced Aaron! It is no longer “the order of Aaron” or “the order of Levi.” It is forever “the order of Melchizedek.”

3/13/20 Tom Lowe The Levitical Priesthood The Levitical Priesthood traces through the three sons of Levi, through the Sadducees until it went extinct at the death of Christ, when it was replaced with the Priesthood of Christians which endures until the second coming. Lesson #23 [ID5b] The ...read more

Mariology Series

Contributed by John Lowe on May 10, 2022

Therefore, all the members of the Church are capable of sharing in spiritual goods and graces. The fact of physical death is no barrier to this; just as Christ overcame death by His perfect love, so in Christ, death is no longer a barrier for the believer.

Mariology As a protestant, I must say that I have never seen this word before - Mariology - and I am struggling with beginning the study of Mariology – How to start? Will my comments be relative? How can I help others and myself gain knowledge and understanding of Mariology? On this website, we ...read more

Agnostic Nazarenes - Mark 6:1-6 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Oct 19, 2023

In his hometown, the people didn’t believe Jesus because he was a local handyman. Such an irrational conclusion is due to living by feeling instead of fact. Agnosticism is an effort to justify ignorance.

Mark 6:1 Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. 2 When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. “Where did this man get these things?” they asked. “What’s this wisdom that has been given him and such miraculous ...read more

Worrying

A simple sermon about the problem of worry and God's solution for it.

Good morning. By a show of hands, how many worriers do we have out there? If we are honest with ourselves, we all worry a bit, but there are some people that seem to be able to worry enough for everyone. People like me who actually have the gift of going down paths of worry thinking about things ...read more

Divided Hearts Series

Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jul 18, 2022

This sermon focuses on Samuel the Judge and how God used Samuel to expose the divided hearts of the Hebrew people, and of many people today.

Good morning. Spring has sprung! Amen. We are going to spring right into our sermon series again which is called The Story, which is basically the story of God found in the Bible story.

What Happens To Those Who Have Never Heard About Jesus?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jun 24, 2024

Since Jesus is the only way to salvation, then what does that mean for those who have never heard about Him or the Gospel message that only through Him can a person find salvation?

INTRODUCTION The Bible tells us that no human being is basically good and willingly seeks after God and His holiness because of the sinful nature passed down through the DNA of Adam and Eve after the Fall (See Genesis 3 – also Romans 5:12,18-19). As a result, all of humanity is dead in their ...read more
