This message looks at the three temptations Jesus faced, why they truly were temptations, and how he overcame them, giving us a path to follow.

Right Does Not Always Equal Righteous

Contributed by Don Campbell on Nov 19, 2025

There are two extremes regarding judging. The first is the hypocritical speck hunters who have a beam in their own eye. The second are the "I'm okay, you're okay," who hear no evil and see no evil. because we are all okay.

Therefore, righteousness is characterized by what is right. I. THREE SCENARIOS INVOLVING JUDGING A. Bildad the spinner of proverbs (Job 8:1-7). 1. ...read more

The Cosmic War (Revelation 12)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 3, 2024

This chapter contains symbols describing the ongoing war between God Almighty and the devil, Satan. It also shows that the LORD has the final victory and that His people Israel will be saved as He promises throughout Scripture.

When symbols are used in Scripture, they are self-interpreting. This is the case when we read the account of events written by John in describing what is an ongoing cosmic war between the LORD God Almighty and the forces of evil led by Satan. We see the pure malevolence and hatred both of God ...read more

Harassed For Jesus Series

Contributed by Fred Sigle on May 20, 2024

A study of the Beatitudes. Jesus begins His sermon on the mount answering the question: "What will it take to make you happy?" His answer, however, is far different from the way most people will answer. In fact, his answers appear to bring sorrow, not happiness.

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 24, 2024

The False Prophet uses false "miracles and signs" to convince the world that the Antichrist is the leader for whom they have been waiting. He is a tool of Satan used to draw people away from the truth of the Gospel and towards the certainty of hell.

The Antichrist, who was introduced in Revelation 13;1-10, will not rise to power alone. His success will result from a worldwide spiritual deception perpetuated by the man referred to in Revelation 13:11-18 as, "the beast from the earth", known as the False Prophet. He will be a ...read more

Putting Things Before God

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 15, 2023

Jesus was tempted to exalt Himself in a way that was not right. Today we're going to talk a little bit about exalting ourselves above God or putting something else before God.

If you don't toot your own horn, who will? Have you ever heard that before? Let's face it, we really enjoy those moments when good things happen to us. We feel good when we've accomplished something. And with those good experiences, we naturally want to tell others about it. ...read more
