Jacob-Finding True Love--And More Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 24, 2022

Jacob had traveled many miles from his home. He finally reached his uncle's land and in an almost "deja vu" moment, found his first true love!

Introduction: Jacob had stopped near Bethel (Luz), many miles away from his home and family. He had a dream, probably one of the strangest but most striking he would ever know. He woke up, set up a stone as a pillar, and made a contract, so to speak, with God. Now he’s closer to Haran, the land ...read more

"what Hope Might A Sinner Possess?"

Contributed by Ken Sauer on Dec 13, 2021

A sermon about the reason for Christmas.

“What Hope Might A Sinner Possess?” Hebrews 10:5-10 Have you ever tried to fix yourself, on you own—with no help? Ever have an addiction or a bad habit that you wanted so badly to rid yourself of, but you just couldn’t pull it off… …you just couldn’t kick it? I think we all have things in ...read more

I Feel Myself Coming Out Of This

Contributed by Dr. Jwt Spies on Dec 18, 2021

Being delivered

When I investigate the ministry as a whole I see that it demands faithfulness, fidelity, and dependability. The bible teaches us that the ministry demands that one never faint, fade out, or become hazy. The words "faint not" in the Greek means not to give up, not to lose heart, not to ...read more

For God So Loved The World

Contributed by Jonathan Nelson on Dec 18, 2021

A Christmas message focusing on John 3:16 and God's love for mankind.

John 3:16 is both the easiest verse in the Bible to preach on and it is the hardest verse to preach on. Of the 31,102 verses in the Bible, John 3:16 captures the very essence of the message of the Gospel. If we were to remove every verse from Genesis to Revelation, leaving only John 3:16, I still ...read more

Born To Be A Priest Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 25, 2021

Hebrews spends a lot of time focusing on Jesus as our High Priest. But what does that mean to us, and what difference can it make in our lives?

Philip Yancey , in his book “The Jesus I Never Knew” (Zondervan, 2002, p. 25) told of a Jesuit missionary - Matteo Ricci who went to China in 16th century. The missionary took along samples of religious art to illustrate the Christian story for people who had never heard it. He was pleased that ...read more

The Christmas Truce On 1914

Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Dec 27, 2021

The amazing Christmas Truce on the Western Front during WW1.

Christmas Truce in the trenches in 1914 As we celebrate Christmas, I am reminded of one of the more curious events that happened in the First World War - “The Christmas Truce of 1914”, which on the Western Front. It all appears to have started on the evening of 24th December, the day the ...read more

The Simple Life Style

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 13, 2021

Each individual Christian needs to keep asking themselves, how can I simplify my life, not for the sake of simplicity, but for the sake of the kingdom of God.

I've always loved the Cinderella story, and have read it to my granddaughter, and listened to it on record many times. It is a story that fits so well in our culture. From rags to riches is the American dream come true. The poor little servant girl escapes from the wash water to live in ...read more

Matthew The Tax Collector Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 18, 2021

Matthew was a rebel who had fulfilled his dream in the world, and who realized it was not satisfying. He calls himself the publican, however, in his Gospel, because he rejoices that he is a trophy of grace.

Someone said, you never could take your money with you, but some can remember when the government would let you keep some while you were still here. It is hard for many to believe that our country was founded partly to avoid taxation. As bad as taxes are, however, only two classes of people ever ...read more

Defective Disciples Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 18, 2021

Practically every one of the Apostles, including Paul, is pictured as being wrong in an argument at some point. The 3 best known are specifically mentioned as being out of God's will in their attitudes toward others.

It is not without good reason that many people say they never argue about politics or religion. The ignorance and intolerance of men in relation to these subjects is such that they almost always lead to contention and anger rather than helpfulness and understanding. The average person, who does ...read more

Scripture: Luke 9:46-50

Christian Confession Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Christians have needlessly borne mountains of guilt when they might have had it dissolved and cleansed through the blood of Christ. Continuous and consistent confession of sin is a must for a Christian.

The one thing all people have in common is guilt. Ever since Adam and Eve hid from God, because they were afraid, out of a sense of guilt, man has had to bear the burden, and suffer the effects of guilt, and these effects are enormous. Modern psychiatry is discovering that guilt is enemy number ...read more

A Blessing To Avoid Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 23, 2021

Forgiveness is one of the most precious of all blessings. Yet, as blessed as it is to be lifted, it is more blessed never to have fallen.

Doing your best could be the worst thing you could do. That sounds like a contradiction, but it can be explained so that it makes sense as a paradox. A paradox is a statement, which at first sight seems absurd, and contrary to common sense, but which can be explained so as to be well grounded and ...read more

Praiseworthy Pride Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 23, 2021

A legitimate pride is a completely personal matter, and does not depend upon anyone else. It is a matter of personal satisfaction in accomplishing something that is praiseworthy.

One of the most common paradoxes of history is the paradox of succeeding through failure. Jesus failed to turn Israel from her sins, and they crucified Him, but He thereby succeeded in paying the penalty for their sin, and also for the sins of the world. By descending into the valley of failure, ...read more
