Funeral Message For A Long-Time Believer

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 18, 2021

Let me ask you a question: if you were given a choice of going to Heaven today or waiting ten years, what would you choose? Your answer to this question tells a lot about what you think about Heaven. I think the majority of people would desire to wait ten years or more.

Bill is a sweet man who was a remarkably faithful husband. Like so many seniors of our day, medical science was able to extend the length of Bill’s life even though the quality of his life suffered.

4 Rs Of The Millennium

Contributed by Bobby Brewer on Jul 24, 2023

There’s lots of material available discussing the signs preceding Christ’s return but what exactly will happen when He does return? Not only did Jesus personally promise that He would return (Jn. 14:1-4, Acts 1:11) but that upon doing so, He would rule and reign.

Prayer For The Unworthy Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 13, 2019

This prayer of Abraham seems to be the 1st recorded prayer in Scripture. Why did God preserve it for us, and what can we learn by how Abraham prayed?

OPEN: In Europe in the Middle Ages, people had a strong belief in the power of prayer. They also believed that the purer and simpler the life you led, the more God would listen to you. And since Monks were supposed to live purer and simpler lives than anyone else their prayers were seen as a ...read more

Rapture Suspense

Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 7, 2013

The Bible tells of a man kept in suspense all his life -- waiting for the moment Jesus would come. Since we're waiting like he did, there's a lot of lessons we can learn from him; why God chose him, how he waited daily, and what happened when he saw Jesus

I’ve Become A Christian – Now What? (Part 1) Series

Contributed by Dan Proctor on Jan 25, 2013

How did Paul’s life change after He was saved? Paul said he was a pattern to those who would be saved after him (1 Timothy 1:16), so I believe we can look at what happened to Paul and learn a lot. After you become a Christian, what can you expect?

Contributed by Sherm Nichols on Mar 31, 2021

Message as COVID 19 lockdowns began. In answer to the question: It seems like we put an awful lot of weight on what the Bible says. What makes it different from any other religious writings? It’s so old, and there are so many different ones, how can I even be sure that it’s worth trusting?

Spiritual Disruption Series

Contributed by Dr. Jonathan Vorce on Jan 15, 2019

Jesus had a lot of opposition from the spiritual leaders of His day. It makes us ask, If Jesus came to Church today would He be accepted? I read this week that if Jesus preached the message coming out of most pulpits today He wouldn’t have been crucified. Let’s see how Jesus handled this opposition.

To Whom Shall We Go?

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 9, 2022

When Jesus spoke about the Bread of Life, His analogies troubled a lot of His hearers who found His teaching hard to understand (John 6:51-65) and ended up walking away from Him. In asking the disciples if they wanted to go away, Peter's response was the model of faith and assurance (vv.67-69).

Jesus' teachings either inspired or infuriated those who heard Him. They continue to have the same effect on anyone who read His words as recorded in the Scriptures today and decides whether to surrender their lives to Him or reject His mercy and reap the eternal consequences. When He taught ...read more
