A Crown Jewel Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 26, 2022

When searching for a lost coin (lost person) the Lord gets to work! He lights a lamp and sweeps the house, like using a fine-tooth comb. The lost coin is like a jewel in a wedding headdress. We are to Jesus as a crown jewel!

I wish to begin our message by first reading through tonight’s parable, and then we’ll take a closer look after I share a brief introduction. Let’s all stand at this time in honor of the reading of God’s Word: 8 What woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, ...read more

The Six Saddest Word In The Bible

Contributed by Kevin Burden on Jul 28, 2008

These six words cause me to wonder, are we really concerned about the souls of others? Do we care if the unsaved perish? Do we care that when the lost die lost they are lost forever?

One Thing Jesus Could Not Do

Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 22, 2008

Jesus’ tormentors taunted Him, saying, "He saved others; He cannot save Himself." They unknowingly spoke the truth concerning Him. Indeed, He could not save Himself ... if we were to be saved.

Laughing at the helpless man hanging suspended between life and death, they belched out vile, venomous scorn. Among the taunts they hurled at Him as He ...read more
