Monday - Cursing Fig Trees And Cleansing Temples Series

Contributed by David Owens on Mar 7, 2022

On Monday of Jesus' final week of earthly life, he cursed the fig tree and cleansed the temple. Both activities symbolized God's judgment on the fruitless religion of Israel. As disciple of Christ, we must be faithful and fruitful, and not cause others to stumble.

A. Years ago, I decided to “edjumacate” myself by reading all the classic novels. 1. I decided to start with Herman Melville’s classic novel Moby Dick. 2. I didn’t get very far, because I just couldn’t take long chapter after long chapter describing the whaling harpoon – you can only say so much ...read more

In Times Like These

Contributed by Larry Grant on Apr 3, 2022

When Jesus arrived in Jerusalem, He went to the Temple and looked around. When Jesus visited the Temple the next day, He saw some things that He didn’t like and gives us insight on the church today. They knew Jesus was in town and yet it changed nothing!

Luke 19:45-48 IN TIMES LIKE THESE April 3, 2022 Intro: Just the day before, Jesus had presented Himself to the people in Jerusalem, as their King and as their Messiah, in fulfillment of Zechariah 9:9. “Thy King is coming… riding on a donkey.” The people praised Jesus ...read more

A Love Story For Dummies

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Jun 27, 2021

Its time to quit being, just another face in the crowd! It’s time, that every Christians face stood out in the crowd and their testimony of God‘s blessing on their life was the reason!

A Love Story For Dummies If I were to tell you this morning, if you know Jesus you have access to it! And immediately you would begin to wonder access to what?

The Week That Changed The World: The Day Jesus Cleaned House Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 3, 2021

The Lord Jesus arrived in Jerusalem hailed by the Jews as the Davidic king who would restore Israel. He arrived not for that purpose, but to fulfill Isaiah's prophecy of the Suffering Servant who restored all of HIs people back to God. The first step was to restore His house.

The final week of Jesus' public ministry had started with His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, being hailed as the rightful heir of David and the One who would finally drive out the hated Roman Gentile oppressors and restore the nation of Israel back to its former glory, or so the people ...read more

#8 A Great Boss And A Terrible Servant Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Aug 16, 2021

Forgiveness is giving to others what God has already given to us. By forgiving others, we are acknowledging our understanding of God's love for us.

"Tell me a Story” is a simple and shorter way to reference Jesus' use of parables. A parable is a relatable way to share a moral or spiritual lesson. While some don’t like parables because they don’t get right to the point. Others love a good story because it forces us to think and ...read more

An Invitation To Healing (Bonus Week) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 25, 2022

God gave most of this message to me while I was at work. I took dictation, basically, for 45 minutes, and then tried to fill in gaps without messing it up. Bottom line: God will heal you.

Brothers and sisters, understand today that I am in no way criticizing you, or condemning you, or judging you. I want to help you. There is no more obvious sign of the church's weakness and lack of faith than the chronic sickness and disease found in so many of its members. Even just among ...read more

Conquering Our Mountains

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 17, 2022

In a spiritual sense, a mountain can represent any obstacle that stands in the way of victory. This message looks at how to overcome the obstacles and trials that are trying to pull us down into the valley of hardship and defeat below.

In the Christian walk we often refer to “entering the valley” and “having mountaintop experiences.” The valleys are the low points in our life, and those times in which we experience hardship and trials. King David said in Psalm 23:4, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, ...read more

Rumination—chew That Cud!

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Apr 6, 2021

These verses given by Jesus aren’t a one time saying or thought, but Jesus speaks of a lifestyle of saying what God says, and thinking what what God thinks.

We are to pray in times of prosperity, lest we become boastful and proud. We are to pray in times of danger, ...read more

The New Never Wears Off...

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Apr 28, 2019

The more of Jesus we get in the circle, in our own circle. The more it will become impossible to keep Jesus and what we become exposed to, only in the circle!

The new never wears off! 2nd Corn. 5:17 HCSB. 17. Therefore if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come. Illus.

We said that just as the dollar is the standard of currency for doing business in this country, so it is that faith is the currency of Heaven. If we are going to do business with God, and receive all that Jesus ...read more
