    Which Shepherd Are You Choosing? (Pt. 2) Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 19, 2022
     | 2,248 views

    This exposition of Zechariah 11:7-17 examines Zechariah's prediction of Christ's rejection at his First Advent and the consequences of that rejection. The timeless truth taught is: when the leadership God sends is rejected, the judgment that follows is bad leadership.

    Intro We concluded last week with God instructing Zechariah to take on the role of a shepherd. Follow with me as we read Zechariah 11:4. “This is what the Lord my God says: ‘Shepherd the flock marked for slaughter.”i That is the assignment God gives Zechariah. He is to represent the Lord as a good ...read more

    Cults Series

    Contributed by Dennis King on Oct 5, 2022
     | 3,143 views

    Cults can trick almost anyone into believing their deadly garbage. Unless an individual pays close attention to what a valid version of the Bible says and means, it is easy for a person to be led down the devil's primrose path.

    Cults Right now, as you read the title of this essay, you may be saying to yourself, “Well, I would never fall for that stuff.” Beware, cults can trick almost anyone into believing their deadly garbage.

    Hypocrisy Series

    Contributed by Jeffery Anselmi on Aug 5, 2022
     | 3,886 views

    If Christians really love Jesus, why is there so much hurt in the church? Jesus confronted the hypocrisy of religious people and desires that his disciples walk in love.

    INTRODUCTION • In our new series, Hot Topics, we will dig into six tough topics that people inside and outside the church often think about (even if we don't ask about them out loud!): • If Christians love Jesus, why is there so much hypocrisy in the church? • How can we trust the Bible? ...read more

    The New Temple Really Exists Now

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 19, 2022
     | 1,461 views

    What we should do, routinely and habitually, is commit ourselves to acting rightly and then do not expect any reward, any promotion.

    Saturday of 20th Week in Course It’s always interesting when a reading from Scripture begins with the words “afterwards. . .” or “after this. . .” because when we hear those words we ask the question “after what?” So when we go back to chapter 42 of Ezekiel, we get the answer. Ezekiel, a prophet ...read more

    Wild Waves Of The Sea Casting Up Their Own Shame – Jude 1:13 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 24, 2022
     | 2,204 views

    Have you ever seen a wild sea with wild waves casting up from the sea floor filth and debris and putrid things? That is the next image Jude uses to describe false teachers. That is what their doctrines and behaviour are like. We then look at wild waves in scripture.

    WILD WAVES OF THE SEA CASTING UP THEIR OWN SHAME – Jude 1:13 Jude has been decrying false teachers and using quite stunning metaphors to describe them. In previous messages we did these and saw that each one paralleled what Peter also wrote, for he too, addressed those bring havoc into the ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,683 views

    This exposition of Zechariah 7:1-6 explores the issue of the inner motives behind our service to the Lord. How many people go to church, give their money, fast, etc. and are baffled by God's lack of response. Why is there so little power in the church? The text addresses all that.

    Intro Our text today is in Zechariah 7. Last week we examined the capstone of the eight visions.i The crowning of Joshua, the High Priest, was a symbolic act prophesying Messiah. Unlike any other, Messiah would be both priest and king. All the promises of God are yea and amen in Him.ii The eight ...read more

     | 937 views

    For a priest or Levite, Malachi’s accusation that they had “corrupted the covenant of Levi” was just about the worst word he could throw at them.

    Thirty-first Sunday in Course 2023 Today the Church gives us a snippet from St. Paul’s first letter to Thessalonika, and it echoes the sentiment of our psalm.
