Jesus Is The Better Shepherd (John 10:1-21) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 10, 2022

John's readers who have chosen to hear Jesus, and follow him, and become part of his flock, have upgraded their shepherd. Jesus is a better shepherd than the Pharisees.

Let's start today by simply reading John 10:1: (1) Truly, truly, I say to you, the one not entering through the gate/door into the inner courtyard of the sheep, but going up from some other place-- that one, a thief, he is, and a robber. When we read this, we should notice something, ...read more

The Sons Of God: An Introduction (Psalm 82:1-8) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 14, 2022

In the OT, the "sons of God" are God's heavenly family, given authority over the nations of the earth (Deuteronomy 32:8-9). An introduction to who they are, and where they went wrong.

For maybe four or five weeks, we are going to take a break from the gospel of John, and start a new mini-series calls "Sons of God." My guess is that everything you hear this morning is going to be new to you. And you aren't going to know what to do with it, or how to handle it. ...read more

Six Kinds Of Men In Every Church 1 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 7, 2022

There is a very famous poster that has been on display for many years. It shows “Uncle Sam” pointing his finger at young men and women saying, “I want you!”

God’s church today desperately needs men and women, but did you know there are some people that the church would be better off if they did not have? WHY WOULD I MAKE SUCH A STATEMENT? Because God can use some men and women to bring many into the house of God. But also Satan can use some to drive ...read more

Jesus And The Black Sheep (John 21:1-25) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 23, 2022

Jesus knows what Peter did, and restores him, and commissions him. Jesus leaves no sheep behind. Also, the two words for love don't matter at all-- Peter isn't trying to trick Jesus.

Let's start today by rereading our passage from two weeks ago, John 20:19-23: (19) Then, when it was evening on that day-- the first day of the week, and the doors having been shut where the disciples were because of fear of the Judeans-- Jesus came, and he stood in their midst, and he says to ...read more

He’s All Around Me 1 Of 3

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 25, 2022

Illus: For example, did you hear about the teenage girl that said to her boy friend, “Let’s play Hide and Seek.” • He said, “How do you play it?” • She said “It is simple. I will ...read more

Things We Need For The New Year 1 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022

As we enter a New Year, we never know what things will be like during the next 365 days. Some go to fortunetellers at this time of the year hoping to find out what the future holds for them.

But God had a purpose in us not knowing everything. Illus: A man was wandering around a fairground and he happened to see a fortuneteller's tent. Thinking it would be good for a laugh, he went inside and sat down. "Ahh....." said the woman, as she gazed into her crystal ball. ...read more

Which Christ Do You Follow? Part 1

Contributed by James Lee on Nov 10, 2014

The problem is, however, that too many Christians are walking around with blinders on or those rose colored glasses that cause everything to look like Christ and they refuse to look at reality.

Repeat the sermon title. Now let’s think about this before we answer. Your answer may be simply; “There ain’t but one ya big dummy! And that’s the one I foller!” But are you sure? If you really look around, you’ll see; if you will but open your eyes you’ll ...read more
