Freedom Cost!

Contributed by Scott Fields on May 28, 2023

We remember and honor those from the revolutionary war until today who gave the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy in this country. Let us not forget about another who gave the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms of all who will come to Him.

This is Memorial Day weekend. A day when we remember all those that gave their life to give us the freedom we experience today. We should take time to remember them, thank God for them and never forget the price they paid for our freedoms and I do not think there are many people who would ...read more

Shortage Of Tears

Contributed by Samuel M on Jul 5, 2023

There is a shortage of tears in the kingdom of God. God moved over this land in the previous generation as a result of the tears of many intercessors. The tears are not shed for their needs, but for the sinful condition of the land and expansion of God’s kingdom.

The Last Supper Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Mar 25, 2022

In Matthew 26:26-29, in preparation for the Cross, Jesus’ institution of the new memorial consisted of three primary elements: 1) The Directive (vv. 26a, 27), 2) The Doctrine (vv. 26b, 28), and 3) The Duration (v 29).

Matthew 26:26-29. 26 Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” 27 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, 28 for this is my blood of ...read more

The Ultimate Scapegoat

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022

What was the Scapegoat, and can it's function somehow be applied to Jesus? Christ made a one-time sacrifice and atonement to cover all sins. There is no more need for a scapegoat, as the Lamb of God became the final sin offering.

I want to begin our sermon this morning by asking if you’ve ever before heard the word “scapegoat.” This term was coined by William Tyndale, the first great English Bible translator, who I will discuss a little further later on in our message. After Tyndale, the word came to be used for a person, ...read more

Judas The Coin Collector

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022

Sometimes we take life much too seriously. Life is to be taken seriously, but some folks are so serious they can not enjoy life.

If we are going to enjoy life, we have to have a sense of humor. God has a sense of humor. I know some folks have the idea that God sits up in heaven and never cracks a smile. But I do not believe that, I sincerely believe God looks down upon what He has created and has the same kind of joy ...read more

The Dark Night Of The Soul Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Apr 1, 2022

In this “Dark Night of the Soul” we see the relationship between prayer and action through three things: Through 1) His Sorrow Matthew 26:36–38), 2) His Supplication (Matthew 26:39–45a), and 3) His Strength (Matthew 26:45b-46).

Pilate's Wife

Contributed by Claude Alexander on Apr 2, 2022

It is surprising, and sad, that the only testimony (in effect) on Jesus’ behalf during the trial was made, not by any of Jesus’ disciples, nor apostles, nor followers, but by Pilate’s wife.

Pilate's Wife Matt. 27:11-26 The chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole council of the Sanhedrin had decided to put Jesus to death. They had Jesus brought before Pilate the governor to pronounce the death sentence. (Mark 15:1; Luke 22:66; 23:1) Pontius Pilate was the fifth ...read more

Anti-Semitism Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Apr 3, 2022

The British have a condescending saying: “How odd of God to choose the Jews.”

The British have a condescending saying: “How odd of God to choose the Jews.” They sneeringly look down on God’s chosen people. Yet God’s choice is not odd. The Jews chose God. And through them came our Savior. Some people deny that Jesus was Jewish; the idea that Jesus was a Jew is ...read more
