    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Apr 25, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 19,376 views

    Story of two people with the same problem, one was not seeking an encounter with Jesus and the other was seeking Jesus out. Both were healed after a close encounter with Christ

    Today I want us to look at two different people and two very different encounters with Jesus. As we look at these two people and how they encountered Jesus we should think of how we encounter Jesus. When Jesus is in our midst do we tend to make excuses or do we reach out to Him and make it ...read more

    The life of a person from unsaved to entirely sanctified can be one of "stages". The disciple of Christ may not go through all of the stages but the hope of this message is that we will be able to evaluate where we stand with the Lord and then move on.

John 10:7-10 (Please find this passage in your Bible and follow along) The Plight of the Lost … - The Bible teaches that apart from Salvation through Jesus all are lost - There is one called the devil. ...read more

    As time passes by, we lose our hope that God is going to fulfill the promises He's made. This message looks at why God delays and how we can maintain solid faith in the face of the waiting.

    [This is a long outline that might be better suited to a Wednesday evening Bible study.] WHY WOULD YOU LAUGH AT GOD? We laugh because we’ve given up hope. - Genesis 18:11-12. - The way verse 12 is phrased makes it obvious that she once harbored real hope that this would happen. The problem is ...read more

    Let’s not cluck our tongues at these sinful Israelites; we and our culture are just as guilty.

    Friday of the 26th Week in Course 2025 There are days when it is helpful to us, reading Scripture, to be reminded of what Bible the early Christians used in the congregations in Rome, Greece, Egypt and Asia Minor.

    Second in a series on popular illusions; and for Independence Day. Life will not cease to be a struggle if justice is not fully realized, feelings are not fully expressed, and wrong decisions are not fully reversed.

    What kind of a retirement party was this? He had worked so long, he had struggled with so many things, and now, here, at the end, it seemed there was still unfinished business. His worries were not behind him, nor were all the issues settled. And why not? Had he no right to expect that now life ...read more

    A painfully honest sermon, about developing a Godly pre-marriage relationship, from two people who failed God and had to fall upon His mercy. This was preached by my wife and I.

    Relationships – How to develop a godly relationship We are going to talk about relationships before marriage today. The first thing that I want to say is that we didn’t do everything right. In fact we made a lot of mistakes and had some failures along the way. We want to share some of those ...read more

    Alternate Theory Of Creation No. 3 - The "day/Age" Theory

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 24, 2023
     | 1,430 views

    Another theory of the creation of the universe in opposition to the record given in Genesis 1 is the "Day/Age" Theory, and like the previous two we looked at, has neither the science or Scriptural foundation to verify its claim.

    We have looked at two of four "theories of creation" used to explain our origins apart from what is clearly and unapologetically presented in the first chapter of Genesis. The first theory is known as "theistic evolution", which teaches that God used evolution as part of the ...read more

    How many of the fulfilled desires from your past are still making you happy today? Is life just chasing after the wind, or is there a simple path to contentment?

    James 1:13-15, “When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is ...read more
