    It is because we’re only human that we can come into God’s presence only under Jesus’ sponsorship, and clothed in his grace.

    I got an offer last week that I almost didn’t refuse. It was from a travel company who, in return for my coming to a one-hour pitch for their company, would give me 4 free days and nights in any one of dozens of different destinations, and if I came between Tuesday and Thursday they’d double the ...read more

    Topic: The Parable Of The Wedding Feast

    Contributed by Arsenio Segismundo on Jun 6, 2022
     | 1,331 views

    Why Jesus uses parable? Mat 13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

    Topic: The parable of the Wedding feast Text: Mat 22:1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, Mat 22:2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, Mat 22:3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the ...read more

    "Gun Fight At The Ok Corral: In Jerusalem?”

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Nov 15, 2023
     | 976 views

    The parable of "talents"; its connection to the words of Jesus in "holy week", Is the "talent" our "gifts", our "works", or the "mystery" we possess: the free gift of mercy and eternal life, must be shared not buried.

    In Jesus Holy Name November 17, 2023 Text: Matthew 25:14-15a Pentecost XVIII - Redeemer “Gun Fight at the OK Corral: In Jerusalem?” If you are a western movie buff you probably remember the movie directed by John Ford entitled: Gunfight at the O.K. Corral which was released in ...read more

    We Are Not Ignorant Of Satan’s Devices Or Schemes – Part 10 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 9, 2023
     | 1,400 views

    Part 10 looks at Darwinism (Evolution) and Climate Change. Both are very major issues and right up there near the top of Satan’s great schemes and delusion. Both these agendas have changed the world. I know some might disagree but I can see no other way.

    WE ARE NOT IGNORANT OF SATAN’S DEVICES OR SCHEMES – PART 10 We are not ignorant of Satan’s devices because God tells us that, but do we know much about them? I am exploring some of these that Satan uses to pollute, confuse, distort and lie about all that God has established. In this address we ...read more

    Free Lunch!

    Contributed by Val Black on Nov 25, 2019
     | 3,293 views

    There are always claims of a "Free Lunch" but none of them prove to be true, with one exception. It's a real meal and it really is free.

    (This is a sermonette and/or illustration, that was taken from one of our Gospel tracts. It could be considered tongue-in-cheek. It simply explains the Marriage Supper of the Lamb and how to qualify to participate in it.) Someone once said there is no such thing as a “free lunch.” There are ...read more

    God knows He place a call into you; And you know you received a call from Him .

    We all have smart phones, we use them for texting, taking pictures , then posting those pictures , we use them for and Google maps for directions .

    Predestination. Election. Free will. These are some of the most hotly debated doctrines in the church. We think we have to be in one camp or the other. But is that true? Let's find out together.

    This morning we will see how God deals with three kinds of responses to the offer of salvation.

    Background to passage, Matthew 22:1-14: the third parable in a trilogy of direct assaults in his two-day confrontation with the religious leaders of Jerusalem at the beginning of the last week of his life.

    All Dressed Up And No Place To Go

    Contributed by Craig Benner on Aug 28, 2024
     | 876 views

    We put on different types of clothing for different reasons. Some out of necessity and some for no specific reason. Our spiritual man needs to be clothed in certain manners also. in fact, God is clear about some ways that He requires us to be clothed.

    All dressed up and no place to go! All dressed up and no face to show. Are you a Put On? It is interesting that this old addage means to pretend. In reality, God tells us throughout His Word, to put on a variety of things. Mt. 22:10-12 10 So those servants went out into the highways, and ...read more

    What is this wedding feast Jesus tells of, and what can I do to make sure I'm included?

    Randy Alcorn told story about his friend Ruthanna Metzgar, a professional singer. She had been asked to sing at the wedding of a very wealthy man, and they were invited to the reception. It was being held on the top two floors of the Columbia Tower in Seattle - the tallest skyscraper in the ...read more

    This messages used the name Ichabod as a term for those who are lost; those who do not have the glory of God. And, it uses Immanuel to represent the condition of salvation for those who live in fellowship with Jesus, God with us.

    Immanuel or Ichabod Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Psalm 1:1-2 “Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.

    The Reality Of Hell

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 21, 2022

     | 4,960 views

    The Bible speaks about a real place called hell, and it’s a place where many people will unfortunately go when they die. But some individuals reason that hell is contradictory to God’s love and mercy and should not be preached.

    I have entitled our message this morning “The Reality of Hell.” Hell is a topic that tends to be avoided in a lot of churches and by a lot of pastors today. One person has accurately identified the perception of hell today when he said, “Since the days of fiery sermons from Puritan preachers like ...read more

    The Church Of Laodecia: Death By Contentment (Revelation 3:14-22)

     | 737 views

    The last of the seven churches listed in Revelation 2-3 had the reputation of being the church that made Jesus sick due to its religious indifference. Heed the lesson.

    The downward slide that started in Ephesus with the loss of their “First Love” culminated with the total apostasy found in the last church mentioned in Revelation, Chapters 2 and 3, the church located in the city of Laodecia. The city had been founded in 253 B.C. by Antiochus II and named after ...read more

    Coming To The Feast Series

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Nov 5, 2022
     | 2,894 views

    This message is intended to explain the great offense shown in ignoring both the invitation to the Feast and the refusal to wear the proper wedding Garment, which is a reflection of Christ's Righteousness.

    The parable which began Matthew 22, our Gospel lesson this morning, is a parable that can really bug people. It’s shocking and disturbing and I have found over the years that people complain about it because of how harsh it is. It also serves as a good way for us to better understand how to ...read more
