    How Theology Can Harm Scriptural Understanding

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 27, 2021
     | 1,687 views

    Do you have a strong allegiance to a particular set of doctrines or theology? Are you a staunch Arminian or a dedicated five point Calvinist?

    Matthew 24:10-13 (ESV) "And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved." Do you ...read more

    Insignificant?

    No one you meet is insignificant & You are not insignificant. God takes joy in using ordinary people and ordinary things for extraordinary purposes.

    Insignificant: Nothing special. Unimportant. Taken for granted. To small to be noticed. Of no consequence, influence, or distinction. Without weight. Easy to overlook. Irrelevant. Meager. Nondescript. Of little value. Trivial. Exceptionally ordinary. Easily & often disregarded. ...read more

    Hell Series

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Jun 11, 2020
     | 6,161 views

    What is hell? a) punishment, b) separation from God, c) ruled by evil. Why would God send people to hell? What should we respond to the reality of hell?

    HELL—Matthew 25:31-46 Last week, we talked about heaven, and this week, we talk about hell. Why talk about hell? It is not something we talk about with strangers, or even casual acquaintances. Some people—even people we know well—might consider it taboo, worse than talking about politics or ...read more

    The Cat's In The Cradle - Father's Day 2020

    Many of us, as Christians, grow up with a "blind spot" just like the Dad in "The Cat's In The Cradle" song. Are we failing to build spiritual relationships just as the Dad in the song failed to build a real Father-Son relationship?

    The Cat’s In The Cradle Today we will be reading from 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 Today is Father’s Day. To me it is a confusing day but at the same time it makes sense. It makes sense because a Biblical father is what God planed for the human family. A father who provides for the needs of the ...read more

    Looking at how we grasp divine moments from God.

    Your Moment Matthew 25:31-46 July 5, 2020 Last week we were talking about grabbing hold of those moments in life which are transformative. That’s a tall order! I know that! That’s kind of what makes messages like this filled with so much fun and anxiety. It’s being alert to when God is ...read more

    Judgement Day Is Coming

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,542 views

    Jesus will judge the nations (peoples) of the world on judgement day.

    This reading uses the separating of sheep and goats as a means of illustrating how Our Lord will separate the righteous from the unrighteous on that Judgement Day. The use of the sheep and goats as an illustration always amuses me. Years ago, on the mission field in the Dominican Republic, I was ...read more

    As much as God has a role to play in your life, you also have a role to play in it: You set you love on Him, He delivers, honors and saves you. A you age increases, learn to number your days by walking in wisdom. This wisdom leads you to serve others.

    If you are reading this write up, it means you are alive today. I therefore wish you a happy good day or happy birthday. Now that you have this day, what could you do with it? You are to live for God in it; the Lord will help you in Jesus name. By now you should know that God is a big part of and ...read more

    The Last Page Series

     | 9,562 views

    Jesus teaches us about the final judgment. This sermon uses the analogy of reading the last page of a book to explain the parable. It helps the hearer to see how this supports the doctrine of faith alone, and it encourages them to serve.

    The first thing that I always do when I read a new book is to read the last few pages. Its something that I always do, and I can’t help it or stop it. I love reading the last scene and then reading the book to figure out what that last image portrayed means, or the reason and significance behind ...read more

    Have we ever wanted Jesus to show Himself? Would we like to meet Jesus? Have we been walking right past Jesus without recognizing Him?

    Prelude Have we ever wanted Jesus to show Himself? Would we like to meet Jesus? Have we been walking right past Jesus without recognizing Him? Purpose: Let’s find Jesus in the needy.

    What difference can we make? Why can't others go in our stead? Perhaps I am not cut out to make Disciples.

    Matthew 28:16-20 I worked at many things before becoming a Pastor. At one time, I was an Engineer and traveled from steel mill to steel mill, from country to country. What I learned, among many other things is that when a steel mill is down, they are willing to pay just about anything to get it ...read more

    Serving Those In Need

    based on 4 ratings
     | 14,560 views

    Jesus' parable of the sheep and the goats reminds us of some important truths: people matter, faith works, and Christ judges. Jesus points us to a God who doesn't want anyone to go to hell but all to come to eternal life.

    Matthew 25:31-46 Serving those in Need Have you ever seen that TV show, “Undercover Boss”? It’s when the boss of a large company goes undercover in his or her own business and discovers what’s really going on—for better or for worse—in the company. While Jesus already knows what’s going on—he ...read more

    Be The Church: Love Your Neighbor, Love Your King

    It's the Last Sunday of the Church Year/Christ the King Sunday. Jesus speaks of separating the sheep & goats on the last day. The question on people's minds: Am I a sheep or a goat? (From our lectionary-based series for November 2017, "BE the Church.")

    The Word of God that engages us today—on this Christ the King Sunday—is our Gospel read-ing, from Matthew 25. We’ve been looking at this chapter for a couple of weeks. And now we get to this section: the separation of the sheep and the goats. And it’s a difficult text. Not difficult to understand, ...read more
