    My House Is Your House!

    The Lord denies letting King David build the Israelites’ house of worship. But he gives David something better: a two-fold promise of a house. One house would last for a few centuries, and the other house would last forever, housing believers of every age

    Advent IV II Samuel 7:8-11 There are some phrases that just come across better in one language than another. Take our sermon theme for instance. “My house is your house.” It isn’t hard to catch the meaning of that phrase, but it really doesn’t quite have the ring to it as it would in Spanish, “Mi ...read more

    Waiting And Ready For Heaven Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Dec 30, 2019
     | 5,114 views

    The dreaded waiting room - filled with anticipation and uncertainty. What if you could take away that uncertainty - knowing what the outcome was going to be? Great! That's what God does as we wait for heaven. He reveals the outcome and it's glorious!

    Do you enjoy the waiting room? I’ve had a lot of experience in waiting rooms throughout the years. As nice and comfortable as hospitals and doctors’ offices attempt to make them, I don’t know of anyone who really looks forward to sitting in a waiting room. It is always a place filled with ...read more

    As a Christian and a disciple of Christ, we are also servants that carry a message.

    There was a song I learned many, many years ago. A song I still remember today. Since I am one of the worlds worst singers I will quote the song in the poem format: Oh, we are the Pathfinder’s strong A servant of God are we Faithful as we march along In truth and purity A message to tell to the ...read more

    From the words of Simeon when he saw Joseph and Mary with baby Jesus in the Temple. Know that at Christmas (1) our consolation has come; and (2) we have all that we need for life.

    Do you look forward to Christmas? Kids love Christmas, because they know many wonderful things happen at Christmas. They will have lots of fun, parties and gifts.

    Heaven is not a concept, but it is a litteral place that believers will spend eternity with Jesus Christ.

    Heaven is real Introduction- Prayer- I appreciate all the kind words for Becky and I n the loss of our sister-in-law Charlotte and my brother’s brother-in-law Ron. It has been tough. It did make me do some thinking. Life events make you think- marriages, divorces, deaths, children born, ...read more

    What might the story of the raising of Jarius' daughter look like if it happened today?

    Introduction • Hear now the New Testament story of Jarius, the ruler of the Jewish synagogue. [Read Luke 8:40-56] • What if that story took place today? Instead of Jarius, let’s visit with a Baptist minister by the name of Wallace. Of utmost importance is for each of us to notice ...read more

    Lord, You feel abandoned. Yet You are committed to Your path, to Your Father’s will. You can’t do it but You must do it. And all of us are the beneficiaries.

    Jesus Falls Once Again (Those of us who have had the privilege and honor of a pilgrimage to the Holy Land always make Jerusalem part of the holy time.

    Because eyes that would see God and ears that would hear God, Anna truly did behold her Redeemer and would then announce His redemption.

    LUKE 2: 36-38 [Christmas] ANNA’S PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING Luke here reveals Anna’s prayer of thanksgiving to God for the coming of the long-awaited Messiah. I’m sure the previous encounter with Simeon astounded Mary and Joseph, but they had a further sign from God. The truth of Simeon’s words ...read more

    Resurrection Relationships

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Nov 6, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,823 views

    Will there be marriage in heaven? Jesus suggests there will be something better. Scripture points us to a bodily resurrection, with believers bound in intimate relationships to God and each other. Death has lost its sting! We will live forever with God!

    Luke 20:27-38 Resurrection Relationships Today’s scripture might hit some of you kind of hard. “What do you mean I won’t be married in heaven? I’ve been looking forward to seeing my spouse again. That’s all that keeps me going!” Or, “What does it mean to ...read more

     | 7,050 views

    When catastrophe, such as a worldwide pandemic, occurs we are heightened in our end-time awareness. Our sovereign Jesus uses catastrophe to shake us from the rocking rhythm of the ordinary life.

    Jesus Is Still Sovereign Matthew 24:6-8 When End Times Events Appear On the day of Pentecost, when the disciples were proclaiming the Gospel in all sorts of languages they had never learnt, Peter directed everyone back to Scripture and said, “this is what was spoken”. The Scripture helps us to ...read more

    Mourning Lessons

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Sep 11, 2023
     | 1,085 views

    It is right to mourn out loud when something that is precious is lost or destroyed.

    This is a really depressing passage, isn’t it, especially the first part. You can certainly see why this book of the Bible was called Lamentations. It was written by Jeremiah after the fall of Jerusalem. Our hearts really have to go out to him, don’t they? He spent forty years, his entire adult ...read more

    A Warning And A Promise

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 23, 2024
     | 639 views

    As Jesus rode into Jerusalem, he wept. His coming to Jerusalem would be a 'career-ending moment' for Jerusalem. There's a serious warning here for us. But there's also a promise. Jesus fulfilled Zechariah's prophecy - and Zechariah has more prophecies.

    Today is Palm Sunday. It’s the Sunday in the year when we remember that a week before Jesus was crucified, he rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. People took palm branches and shouted out, ‘Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!’ It seems like a very ...read more
