    Peacemakers Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Apr 24, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,060 views

    "Blessed are the peacemakers." Our concept of peacemaking must be based on scriptural revelation. Biblical peacemaking is not appeasement. We know that from God's example of making peace. What is biblical peacemaking and how is it rewarded?

    Intro We come today to the 7th Beatitude found in Matthew 5:9: “Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.”i We are approaching the pinnacle of this list of attributes that bring blessing on a person’s life. Everybody wants to be blessed. But not everybody is willing to take ...read more

    Persecuted: Why? Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on May 1, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,259 views

    The Beatitudes are a beautiful picture of the character of Christ and of consecrated Christians. Why would such a lifestyle depicted in the first seven beatitudes provoke persecution rather than admiration and esteem?

    Intro In our study of the Beatitudes, we come to the eighth beatitude. It is recorded in Matthew 5:10: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”i The reward declared in this final beatitude is the same as declared in the first ...read more

    Message In 1peter – Number 2 – Mercy Has Worked An Inheritance For You Reserved In Heaven – 1peter 1:3-4 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 9, 2023
     | 1,281 views

    Peter sees mercy as the great operating factor in our salvation, producing a living hope, an inheritance that is reserved in heaven, imperishable and pure. God’s mercy which flowed from God’s love, will not disappoint. This living hope can not disappoint because its roots lie with a merciful God.

    MESSAGE IN 1PETER – NUMBER 2 – MERCY HAS WORKED AN INHERITANCE FOR YOU RESERVED IN HEAVEN – 1Peter 1:3-4 [1]. WISHES AND EXPECTATIONS One common feature of human beings is the use of the word “wish.” “I wish I could this or that thing . . .” Allied with this are a number of expectations that ...read more

    Benefits Of Persecution Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on May 16, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,388 views

    In this exposition of Jesus's 8th Beatitude ("Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake"), we explore biblical revelation as to why persecution is a blessing, more specifically, what are the benefits of persecution for God's people.

    Intro We are considering the 8th Beatitude in Matthew 5:10: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Persecution is a major theme in Scripture. We see it in the first family; it runs all through the Old and New Testaments; and in the ...read more

    Why Do Bad Things Happen To Good People?

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on May 17, 2023
     | 2,158 views

    Is it true that the good die young? When the good person dies young, God has a better purpose for that person. The wicked do not realize that God may extend their lives on earth as a means for them to repent.

    When Bad Things Happen to Good People Isaiah 57:1-3 When I was young, I remember hearing a song by Billy Joel titled “Only the Good Die Young.” This song makes the statement that the Catholic girls “start much to late.” He is encouraging them to give up their virginity because “only the good die ...read more

    To be on the mission of mercy is to love being merciful. Some key ideas that come to mind when I think about this...

    THE MISSION OF MERCY Introduction Back in March I sent an email to our elders that has remained on my mind ever since. In part, it read: "I've been contemplating what Forsythe has become over the past couple of years. Our church has really embraced a mission of mercy to the hurting ...read more

    Praying The Beatitudes Series

    To conclude this study of the Beatitudes, the text in Matthew 5:3-10 is used as a TEMPLATE for prayer. Praying Scripture is a powerful way to apply truths to our own lives and reinforce our understanding of the passage.

    PRAYING SCRIPTURE To complete our study of the Beatitudes, we will now use this portion of Scripture as a template for prayer. Learning to pray Scripture will strengthen your prayer life significantly. Some of you may have already learned to use the Lord’s Prayer in this way. That is the most ...read more

    Jesus taught us is to challenge us and to encourage us.

    The Blessed People Today, let's meditate on the gospel according to Matthew, chapter 5. The sermon that Jesus delivers is affectionately called the sermon on the mount. In my opinion, the sermon on the mount is more like a devotional on the mount. But traditionally, we call it the Sermon on ...read more

    The main idea of this sermon is that no matter what your condition is in life, you are blessed because Jesus Christ stands there with an open invitation to come into the kingdom of God.

    Good morning. How many of you are old enough to remember a group duo by the name of Simon and Garfunkel? They were a group in the 60s and 70s. A rock duo group known for a lot of great hits. Sounds of Silence. Mrs. Robinson. Bridge Over Troubled Water. Boxer. Although some of you remember ...read more

    The first sermon on a series of sermons focusing on the Beatitudes.

    The Beatitudes - Introduction Matthew 5:1-12 July 3, 2022 I’d like to do an informal survey. I have one very simple question . . . Who would like to be blessed by God? That’s it . . . simple isn’t it? If you want to be blessed by God, then raise your hands! Most of you raised your hands, and I ...read more

    As we count our blessings, while we are thankful for the provisions of this life, the place of our blessedness is in our redemption by the blood of Jesus.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. (Ps. 19:14) “Blessed Art Thou” “Have a blessed day.” Perhaps you have heard that phrase from time to time. Too often it’s not a parting wish from a close ...read more

     | 1,142 views

    Can a person experience God's mercy and not share it with others?

    The essence of being a Christian and walking after Jesus, is my reaction to what He is and my response to what He has done. Therefore, if I want to know what I should do as a Christian, then I don’t look at Christians. I look to Him. The heart of Christianity is my reaction to what He is and what ...read more

    The Birthmark Of Persecution Series

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Nov 23, 2022
     | 1,244 views

    Persecution stems from the world's anger with God and not being able to take it out on Him. The world wants to fight God, but choose to fight with Christians. Remember it is not personal, it is hatred for God.

    This is the final message on the Beatitudes, the Birthmarks of the Believers. Jesus was the Messiah, but He was not the Messiah everyone was expecting. The Jews were in bondage. They believed that when He came, He was going to come as a mighty warrior. They were not as interested in being saved ...read more

    Being financially secure, being well educated, having the respect and admiration of your neighbors, none of those get you credit in God’s kingdom. We’re all charity cases there.

    Are you happy? If not, what would it take to make you happy? For most people, happiness seems to have something to do with our circumstances. In our youth-obsessed culture, perhaps we feel we have to look backward to imagine happiness. “What is happiness?” and “How can I get happiness?” are two ...read more

    None of us can forgive the wrongs done to someone else. We can, however, show mercy to anyone who is suffering - whether forgiveness is involved or not.

    Every week it seems like there’s another new disaster. The 10 plagues that Moses visited on Egypt to convince Pharoah to free the Israelites almost pale in comparison. Talk about plagues? We hoped that 2021 would see the end of Covic19 but noooooo. And as if that weren’t enough, an earthquake ...read more
