Pilate's Perplexing Problem

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 6, 2021

Pilate was convinced that Jesus was not worthy of crucifixion, but he compromised and sent Jesus to the cross anyway, and by that choice he went from a hero to a zero in the history of Christianity.

Pilate was appointed procurator of Judea in A.D. 26, which was only about 3 years before the crucifixion of Christ, but already he had so much trouble with the Jews that he despised them. When he first came to Jerusalem he discovered that it was about the only city in the whole Roman Empire that ...read more

The Directionally Impaired Man

Contributed by Bruce Ferris on Jun 22, 2008

I am intrigued by the unwillingness of lost men to ask for directions. It is a complaint so common it is a frequent subject of jokes and TV comedies. Almost every woman has a story about a man who drove around for hours looking for someplace and refused

"It sounds as if you had a great time in Texas," the friend observed. "But didn’t you tell me you were planning to visit Colorado?" ...read more

Happy are those who mourn. It just doesn’t sound right does it? So why is mourning a good thing? This sermon takes a look at three areas where mourning is a good thing and why.

New Beginnings

Contributed by Terry Hovey on May 16, 2025

They lived in fear, but rather than starting immediately on rebuilding the wall for protection, they instead built an altar and began to worship. They worship despite their fear of the surrounding people! They worship because they are afraid!

New Beginnings Ezra 3 You know, I used to be into refinishing old furniture, but not so much anymore. It takes time, a lot of work, and space and the proper tools to do the job well. Terri and I have an old wooden bed with matching wash cabinet with a really old tilt mirror and another old dresser ...read more

Comforted But Not Comfortable

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jun 20, 2004

No trial, no comfort and being comfortable is poverty.

We live in a day when there is much hardship, sorrow, guilt and untimely deaths. People seek comfort for their sorrows in many ways.

The Two-Man Lift

Contributed by Neal Gracey on Mar 18, 2025

When something was too heavy for us to lift, it was a policy at my work that anything over 50 lbs. was to have a two-man lift. This way the heavy object could be lifted without injury! Prayer is similar at times!

The Two-Man Lift Ephesians 6:14-18; 1 Samuel 38-40 When something is too heavy for you to carry, what do we do? We ask for help, hence – “The Two-Man Lift!” This was a policy where I used to work… Over 50 lbs., get help!! Knowing that God wants us to pray as if we are fighting and defeating the ...read more
