Jesus has power over both disease and death.

A STORY WITHIN A STORY. Matthew 9:18-26.

Constantly Repenting To Follow Christ

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 4, 2024

Do those things well and the government will be respected. Do them badly and the people get angry and one way or another dismantle that government.

Friday of the Fourteenth Week in Course 2024 There are several basic and critical functions of any government, once a region of the world has established one. Israel–the northern Kingdom after the breakup of David’s kingdom after the terrible mess Solomon left–was such an area. A successful ...read more

A Labor Shortage

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Aug 5, 2024

I want to discuss a related spiritual phenomenon that has existed for a long time and whose solution is one that I think we can all grasp and work towards. I want us to consider a spiritual labor shortage which is one that was pointed out by Jesus and continues to this day.

TITLE: A LABOR SHORTAGE SCRIPTURE: ST. MATTHEW 9:35-38 / ST. LUKE 10:1-4 There has been a lot of talk recently about a current labor shortage, as many businesses find themselves short-staffed and unable to find or keep employees. I will defer to those with more expertise in the economic field ...read more

Friends, Faith And Forgiveness

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Aug 13, 2024

Sometimes I think God puts a message on my heart, especially when it is a specific passage, then as I dig in and began my sermon prep, I find out what He really put on my heart!

Stealing a question I told a man about a year ago, that I was going to steal a question from him! So today, I am making good on that promise of theft! We’ll address that question eventually. Did I mention that this message started out differently about 3 weeks ago? The key passage is centered ...read more

Until He Comes, Go!

Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 22, 2024

As a Christian, you are not only expected to tell lost people of Christ's free gift of salvation, but you are expected to pray, asking him to send forth labourers to work in the fields of lost humanity.

“Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. ...read more

Navigating The Ebb And Flow

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Dec 24, 2024

Jesus shared words to help John's disciples navigate change, as they were dealing with the loss of their leader. He also addressed the change of grace over legalism. This passage can be applied to change within the church.

I have entitled our message this morning, “Navigating the Ebb and Flow.” The expression “ebb and flow” is an idiom used to describe periods of highs and lows, and growth and decline, just like the rising and falling of the tides. It is essentially the idea that life is not always constant, but ...read more

Exercising And Exorcising

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 8, 2025

In this passage, we see two blind men who had to "exercise" their faith to receive their sight. However, we see another kind of exercise in this passage; or rather, “exorcise,” as Jesus exorcised a demon from a man who was mute.

You have probably heard someone say before that we need to “exercise” our faith. In Hebrews chapter 12, we read, “Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:1b-2a). Jesus is both the author and finisher. He is ...read more

The Mercy Of The King Towards His People (Matthew 9:1-38)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 4, 2025

Jesus continues to show His compassion, love, and mercy by restoring sight to the blind, healing a paralyzed man, and giving life back to those who seemed to have lost all hope.

Verses 1-8: The Lord left Gadara and sailed back to Galilee and Capernaum. Upon His return, a group of men bring another man to Him who has been struck by paralysis. They believed, by faith, that Jesus could heal him. We do not know what was going on in the mind of the paralyzed man. It was ...read more

Sermon # 46 - What God Desires Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 5, 2025

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
