Loving Leah

Contributed by Pastor Michael Threadgill on May 8, 2025

Leah, the first wife of Jacob, is one of the most overlooked figures in the Bible even though she may have felt weary or unwanted, God saw her, honored her, and made her fruitful. Her life is a powerful testimony to how God uses the overlooked to fulfill His greatest purposes.

Scripture: 16 Now Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 17 Leah’s eyes were delicate, but Rachel was beautiful of form and appearance. 18 Now Jacob loved Rachel; so he said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel your ...read more

When God Turns Dead Ends Into Divine Destinations

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 31, 2025

You may be at a point in your life where it seems like all options are gone—financially, emotionally, spiritually, or relationally. But remember: dead ends are not dead to God. He sees a path where you see a wall. What looks like the end is often the beginning of something greater in His plan.

Why Did God Swear An Oath About Jesus’ Priesthood? - Psalm 101:4 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jul 19, 2025

We talk a lot about Jesus as the lamb who was the sacrifice for our sin. But what about his role as priest? How does his priestly work for you shake out on a daily basis? In this study, we're going to see a side of Christ you may not have considered.

Solid Food The last two sessions, we looked at the first half of Psalm 110 and the second half. The first half—Messiah rules among his enemies as sovereign king. Then verse 4 about priesthood in the order of Melchizedek. That verse is weird, doesn’t seem to fit the theme, strange reference to an ...read more

We Are Called To Encourage, Not Destroy By Pastor Joseph Ondu

Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Aug 2, 2025

God has not called us to compete with each other, but to complete each other. We are living stones being built together into a spiritual house (1 Peter 2:5). Your role matters. Your encouragement matters. And someone’s breakthrough may be waiting on your obedience to speak life.

Live With An Ascension Attitude

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on May 22, 2006

We ask the Holy Spirit to work through the verses of Psalm 47 to gently remind us of what the ascension of Jesus means for us. We have no reason to live our lives like deer caught in a car’s headlights. In light of this Psalm may each of us be empowered to live with an ascension attitude!

‘‘Men of Galilee, why do you stand here looking into the sky?” Do you think the angels were really looking for an answer from the disciples when they asked that question? It doesn’t seem as though they were. The question appears to have implied that the disciples had no good reason for standing ...read more

Child Of The King: Temptation And Identity

Contributed by Paul Humphrey on Mar 5, 2006

The Devil’s temptation of Jesus centered upon "if you are the Son of God." Even at the cross a voice cries, "If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross" (MT 27:40). Satan’s way may seem easier, but those led by the Spirit have a far different w

Earthen Treasure Series

Contributed by Guy Mcgraw on Feb 13, 2012

Why doesn’t God put His valuables in the most valuable looking containers? You may think they you are not valuable enough for God to be able to use. You think have too many ‘chips’ and ‘cracks’ or past or present problems and failures. What is valuable

What is the most inexpensive container you have ever put something valuable in? Money in a sock? Cigar box? God chose to place in human vessels the very presence of His Holy Spirit.

The Mustard Seed Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Aug 31, 2009

Sometimes we feel like we’re outnumbered by people who don’t believe in Jesus. There are times when we’re the only ones who want to do the right thing. But Jesus tells us that his kingdom may look small but in fact it will grow to be like a mighty tree th

A Combined Children’s talk and sermon How big do you think God’s Kingdom is? As big as the Simpson desert or Kakadu? As big as this whole land of Australia?

When Life Seems To Have No Rhyme

Contributed by Calvin Taylor on Dec 18, 2014

While life may often seem to lack coherence, Matthew 2:1-15 shows us that God gives it His own unique cadence and rhythm. Ultimately, we don't have to have all of the answers if we know the One who does, and we humbly follow His lead.

When Life Seems To Have No Rhyme Matthew 2:1-15 1. The Magi left for the land of Israel "on the brink…" - “A crucial or critical threshold, beyond which success or catastrophe occurs” - The Magi were on the brink of making a great personal discovery. - The chief ...read more

Whose Idea Was This?

Contributed by Terry Barnhill on Mar 15, 2016

THIRD SUNDAY IN LENT - It’s been said that, “With God, our lives are an open book.” Sometimes, however, we may find ourselves in the middle of the book and still asking, “Whose bright idea was this anyway? It sure wasn’t mine!”

Faith In Action

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 4, 2021

Take the Word of God with you—whether you’re an older man, an older woman, a young woman or a young man, or a child. Let God’s Word fill you and move you. May it be said of us, “Those are people who really know what the Bible teaches. And they also put it into practice.”

What does it mean to be a Christian? How would you answer that question? I think we’d start with what we believe. As Christians, we believe in the Bible as God’s Word. We believe that our God is Triune, that all people are dead in sin, and that we have new life through faith in Christ. As ...read more

The Peace Of The Cross

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 8, 2021

Diplomacy has been defined as the art of saying, "nice doggie," until you find a rock. There is truth to this, but it is also true that one may want to say, "nice doggie" until the dog likes you, and becomes, in fact, a nice and friendly dog. That is being a peace maker.
