Are You A Friend Of God?

Contributed by John Oquinn on Sep 15, 2018

Abraham's' faith on trial

What does GOD have to say about you? Can you imagine what it must feel like to have GOD reference you by name -- as HIS friend? What would it take to be known as a personal friend of GOD? Abraham is said to be a friend of GOD in two different passages, one of those spoken by GOD. Isaiah 41:8 ...read more

Wrestling With God

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Oct 26, 2018

On the way to meet his extranged brother Esau, Jacob experienced a strange encounter with a "man," who Jacob identified as God himself.

WRESTLING WITH GOD Please turn to Genesis 32. Having made a covenant of peace with Laban, his nettlesome father-in-law, Jacob traveled southward through the country east of the Jordan River. The “angels of God” met him there. Their purpose seems to have been to set up a meeting between Jacob and ...read more

Contributed by Russell Metcalfe on Jan 28, 2021

This miraculous gushing forth of the Spirit was designed to awaken them all to embrace the Lord Jesus Christ, and to join themselves in faith to Him and His church.

ACTS 2:14-18 PETER'S SERMON AT PENTECOST [1 Peter 1:10-20 / Matthew 24:29-30] Careless, scoffing comments prompted the first Christian sermon.

Christ, Our Passover

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Apr 19, 2021

The words of the Lord to Israel concerning the Passover should be precious to us, “When I see the blood, I will pass over you.” We are all offered the gift of being “passed over” – salvation through faith in the shed blood of Jesus, our Passover Lamb.

1 Corinthians 5:7 - Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. Paul writes this letter to the Corinthians believers who were most likely familiar with the Exodus event of the Passover To ...read more

Where Is Meaning? Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 27, 2023

Today many are re-evaluating the lifestyle of seeking pleasure. The rich and famous are coming to the same conclusion of another rich and famous person Solomon, “meaningless”.

People try all avenues to bring meaning and purpose to their life. I said to myself, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure to find out what is good.” But that also proved to be meaningless. (Ecclesiastes 2:1) You name any field, professional sports, business, politics and if you do just a ...read more

What Is Man Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Dec 9, 2022

Every human being is God’s creation. A person made in His image. Only when we are properly related to God can we experience the fullness God intended for us.

It is said that Socrates was obsessed with one central aim in his search for wisdom: To know himself. The basic question is what is man? This is a legitimate question. When a young man leaves home traveling aimlessly in search of “finding himself” he is looking for the answer to an important ...read more

Sadducees Sadly Mistaken (2004)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 23, 2022

The intention of the question of our "case in point" (Luke 20:27-40) was designed by those who composed it to make a fool of Jesus. It backfired. The scripture tells us that when Jesus answered that question, no one dared to ask Him any other questions.

SADDUCEES SADLY MISTAKEN Text: Luke 20:27-40 Bruce Larson made the comment that the question that the Sadducees posed to Jesus was a test that was designed to determine whether or not He was a conservative or a liberal.

Father's Day 2015

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jun 25, 2015

This is not, strictly speaking, a Father's Day message. It is about the confusion that has come into the family during this turbulent, chaotic, sinful time. The nuclear family is treated like some useless relic of ages past. What does the Bible say?

Father’s Day I remember on one Father’s Day we were visiting the church of Karenlee’s Uncle Jim. In SS class the teacher was expounding on Proverbs 22:6, “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.” And the main point the ...read more

Creeds Within The Bible Series

Contributed by Keith Foskey on Apr 15, 2014

The entire bible is meant to be believed and confessed. These are just a few of the passages which have the qualities of creeds, in that they specify what it is that is being taught and believed.
