John Chapter 9 Part 2 Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Aug 13, 2013

This sermon is about Jesus being the light of the world. This is a great miracle story and right when it gets going Jesus interrupts with a two sentence insight about Himself. What an awesome interruption! We need to be interrupted more often!

Today we’ll be taking a further look at the miracle of Jesus healing the man born blind. Last week we saw that Jesus, being omniscient or all knowing, knew that the man was blind from birth and that his blindness not the result of personal sin or the sin of his parents. We also saw that the ...read more

The Great Depression # 4

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 31, 2021

Last week, as we considered THE GREAT DEPRESSION, we dealt with the life of Elijah. He is the ideal person to study when you study the subject of depression.

WHY IS HE THE IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR THIS STUDY? Because of what the Word of God says about him. Look at James 5:17, we read, "Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are…" Elijah represents us in that - (1) HE HAD HIS HIGH DAYS He enjoyed the highest of highs. We Americans ...read more

Peace Through Obedience To The Word

Contributed by Austin Mansfield on Jun 3, 2007

If most people haven’t read God’s word, they aren’t seeing Christ’s command, and there’s nothing in their hearts for the Holy Spirit to help them understand. So the peace that Jesus promises us is lost for the lack of trying.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Jesus says that those who love him will keep his word; and those who don’t love him won’t keep it. Those who keep his word will be filled with the Holy Spirit, who will teach us and guide us according to the will of the ...read more

For our relationship to God to be what it should be, it’s crucial to understand God’s generosity and eagerness to bless us. This is a whole sermon on the generosity of God. It’s an especially important message for folks who tend to think of God as reluctant to bless them or answer their prayers.
