    Lord Of The Sabbath ( Matthew 12:1-14)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 23, 2025
     | 428 views

    In this chapter, Jesus teaches the true meaning of the “Sabbath” and how it is to bring glory to God, not to be used as a religious weapon. The hostility towards Jesus was starting to grow.

    Before we undergo any further study of this chapter, it would be helpful to understand the concept of the “Sabbath”. According to the fourth commandment (Exodus 20:8), the Sabbath was set aside as one day in seven to cease from labor and take a rest from all unnecessary activity. Exodus 31:15 ...read more

    Two Sabbath stories bring out some key dangers of a rules-based religion.

    - We have two stories here that both look into the rules the religious leaders had back in Jesus’ day concerning the Sabbath. THE PROBLEM WITH A RELIGION OF RULES: 1. WE ARE SELECTIVE ABOUT WHICH RULES WE PAY ATTENTION TO. - Matthew 12:1-5, 9-11. - The Pharisees considered themselves to be the ...read more

    Be Practical, Not Legalistic Series

    Jesus taught the Pharisees how He desires sincere love for people over meaningless ritual, and how He desires grace over legalism. Those who adhere to ritual and tradition are often unable to love others or worship God.

    In our message today, we will see how Jesus taught the Pharisees that forgiveness and grace toward others is a necessity before worship. The capacity to extend love and mercy is something that must be present in a person’s heart before he or she is able to worship the Lord in spirit and truth, as ...read more

    This is the conclusion of proof the Church has no part in the coming Tribulation but it raptured away before it happens. We consider deliverance from Tribulation, the heavenly preparation, the gospel of the kingdom and peace and safety. I trust this series was encouraging for you.

    THE CHURCH DOES NOT ENTER THE TRIBULATION – REASONS THAT PROVE IT – PART 3 OF 3 We continue this study proving that the Church must be raptured away before the Tribulation comes. Christians are not appointed to wrath, which is what the Tribulation is. The wrath of God is against sin in the ...read more

    Politicians Will Not Save Us

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 15, 2024
     | 739 views

    Every few years something happens to remind us we should never put our trust in princes, or politicians, but only in our Lord, Jesus Christ.

    Friday of the fifteenth week in course 2024 (7/19) It’s not possible for me to read the Scriptures today and ignore what happened just a week ago in Pennsylvania. I do believe that God, perhaps through angelic suggestion, arranged things so that the bullet missed the candidate’s head by a few ...read more

    This message looks at the believer and what he/she should be filled with.

    Tun with me to 2 Corinthians 1. We are going to read the first part of verse 4. “[God] Who comforteth us in all our tribulation that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble.” In one of his messages last year, my brother read an illustration from “Barbara O’Neill Health Tricks” that ...read more

    Sermon # 46 - What God Desires Series

     | 594 views

    Jonah failed to understand the compassionate and merciful nature of God. We as a church must know the heart of God and be actively involved in sharing the good news of the gospel and inviting those outside to be part of God’s Kingdom.

    We read in Jonah 4:8, “And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.” (KJV) As we observe the works of God they astound ...read more

    Jesus Answering The First-Century "karens" He Encountered Series

    All of them were survivors, in the strict sense, each party with its own quirks. The Pharisees stood behind the Law.

    Friday of the Fifteenth Week in Course 2025 Have you ever wondered just why it was that the Pharisees, who seemed to be everywhere Jesus went, were such prigs? These days we might even call the “Karens,” although I’ve known real Karens and they weren’t so judgmental as the Pharisees. I think the ...read more

    This sermon explores the concept of Jesus as the Lord of the Sabbath, challenging traditional understandings and deepening our relationship with Him.

    Good morning, friends. We are gathered here today to talk about something we all know. Something we all live by. The Sabbath. We all know the Sabbath, don't we? It's that day of rest. That day of peace. That day of worship. But today, we're going to look at the Sabbath in a new light. We're going ...read more
