Be About God’s Business

Contributed by Douglas Phillips on Apr 10, 2018

A MESSAGE FOR FATHER'S DAY

BE ABOUT GOD’S BUSINESS LUKE 2:40-52 A THING THAT USUALLY EXCITES ANY FATHER, IS WHEN A SON COMES UP AND TELLS HIM THAT HE WANTS TO LEARN THE FAMILY BUSINESS. IT MAKES A FATHER PROUD TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE FAMILY BUSINESS TO INCLUDE “AND SON”. TWICE IN THE SCRIPTURES WRITERS RECORD THE WORDS ...read more

Honoring Your Mother

Contributed by Chris Cuthbertson on May 10, 2018

The Fifth Commandment reads, “Honor your father and your mother.” To honor simply means to value, to respect, to pay tribute to. That responsibility to honor our mothers begins when we're a child and continues until the day we die.

Mother’s Day is really important to Mothers. In case you haven’t caught on by now, let me repeat that for you, Mother’s Day is a big deal to almost every mother. Even the most phlegmatic, laid back, understanding mother expects to be honored today with special attention. If you stop and think ...read more

The Global Heart Of Jesus Series

Contributed by Dr. Jonathan Vorce on Sep 14, 2018

Do we really understand that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is a GLOBAL GOSPEL, that Jesus died for the WHOLE WORLD, that the Bible is not a Middle Eastern religious book but it is God’s Word to the WHOLE WORLD?

Luke 2:49 INTRODUCTION: • The Global Heart of Jesus • Where does America stand in relation to the rest of the world? • Global Population as of September 2018 is 7.6 Billion • America 325.7 Million as of the 2017 census (4.6% of the worlds population) • Global Economy - Overall, the Global ...read more

In My Father's House

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Dec 13, 2018

The call of God is the greatest privilege granted us.

In My Father’s House Luke 2:41-52 I am sure many of us have wondered about Jesus’ early life and upbringing. Matthew leaves the child Jesus after his parents returned to Nazareth and picks Him back up more than 25 years later. Mark doesn’t pick up the story until Jesus came to John for Baptism. ...read more

Jesus Left Behind At The Temple

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Jan 6, 2024

The account in Luke 2 of Jesus in the Temple reveals two incredible things. First, how wonderful our relationship with God the Father will be when all the effects of sin are removed from our lives. Second, how much our Savior gave up for us and for our redemption when he took humanity on himself.

Today we have a unique story, in that it’s the only story of Jesus growing up. Only Matthew and Luke give us the nativity, and only Luke tells this ONE story that fills the huge gap between the wise men, and Jesus turning 30 and his Baptism in the Jordan River. I think our imaginations always run ...read more

Jesus: The Defining Moment From Boy to Man  When did Jesus realize that he was different than other children? Did he always know that he was the Son of God? Did he speak even as a baby… did he just have the knowledge?

Sibling Jealousy: James' (Eventual) Turning To Jesus

Contributed by Jessica Linde on Sep 1, 2024

By considering how sibling relationships can often be contentious, this sermon's ultimate message is that we can't rule out God's ability to radically change people's hearts, because He ultimately radically changed the heart of James the "brother" of Jesus.

Have any of you made it as far into the watching The Chosen as season 3…? Okay, a handful of you. That’s okay. I promise no spoilers from me today! Well… I mean… we do know how the Gospel stories conclude (with Christ’s death, resurrection, and ascension), so I guess the biggest spoiler is already ...read more

Fulfilling Our Ministry Call

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 4, 2024

Jesus knew that God’s plan for Him and His human parents was to grow in wisdom and grace, and to be obedient to them as He was to His heavenly Father.

Saturday of the 9th week in Course 2024 There are only a few precious stories in Scripture about the childhood of Christ, mostly like this one in Luke’s Gospel. We know that Joseph and his family were devout Jews, even going up annually to Jerusalem to celebrate Passover. It’s important to know how ...read more

A Martyr For A Cause – Charlie Kirk Assassinated Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 19, 2025

Tragically in September 2025 a young Christian leader was assassinated in the USA. This message looks into that and uses quotes from Charlie Kirk’s wife, Erica. It is so sick that certain elements of demonic belief are rejoicing that a Christian man was murdered. This world gets worse.

A MARTYR FOR A CAUSE – CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATED I know much has been written about the tragic death of Charles Kirk and I do not want this to be a copycat message. Almost overwhelmingly, there have been expressions of grief and condolences but reprehensively, there have been those who delight in ...read more
