Elijah And The Woman With Sticks (A Mothering Sunday Sermon) Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Apr 2, 2014

God will always find a way to speak to us. Sometimes it's a verse of scripture. Sometimes it’s a song. Sometimes it’s His voice we hear. Sometimes He will use a person. For this woman, God brings the prophet Elijah into her life.

Today is Mothering Sunday and in many places around the world the focus will be on mothers. I think it is fair to say that simply having children does not make a woman a mother. Abraham Lincoln said: No one is poor who has a godly mother Napoleon said, “The future destiny of a child is the work of ...read more

Navigating God’s Will Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Dec 17, 2018

God’s will is something we usually discern with our renewed minds, but sometimes God directs us differently (but never contrary to Scripture); sometimes He hints at those plans, but has not been clear about them — yet He reveals them in His time.

Navigating God’s Will (Matthew 1:18-25) 1. Some people think you can find God’s will by opening up a page of the Bible and putting your finger down, “Bible dipping.” So this guy tries this method of finding God’s will for him. He prays for guidance. He closes his eyes, lets his Bible fall open, ...read more

Two Examples Of Level 5 Faithfulness Series

Contributed by Michael Mays on Sep 14, 2021

How committed are we to being of service? In describing himself, Jesus said in Mark 10:45, “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Paul describes for us two Level 5 leaders in today’s Scripture…

Parts Of The Law Series

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Oct 4, 2021

When we read the Old Testament, we find there are several parts of the law described. Some Hebrew Scriptures divide the law into three main segments: commandments, statutes and judgments (Deuteronomy 5:31; 6:1; 7:11; 30:16). How does this work?

Modeling The Lord's Prayer

Contributed by Neal Gracey on Jan 17, 2015

This is the passage where one of Jesus' disciples, after watching Jesus pray, comes up to him and asks Jesus to teach him and the other disciples 'How to pray.' This is one of the two places in scripture that Jesus gives us all an example , or model, how we should pray.

Happy, "NEW" Saturday, Everyone! I must say, I have never been one to get all excited about new years resolutions. Not because they can't be kept, but because they are cliché'.

Amputation 101 - Matthew 5:29-30 (Contd) Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 14, 2024

The key to persuading your heart to fling sin away is to become convinced that nearness to God would be more satisfying than that sin. But what do you do when the sin brings intense pleasure and the last few times you sought God in prayer or Scripture it was boring?

Matthew 5:27-30 "You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.' 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to ...read more

The Black Of Sin Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 6, 2025

I couldn't find a scripture that equated sin or iniquity with the color black (a color of bead used in the popular "witness bracelet"). But the Bible does talk about sin as a "deep darkness" and that description has powerful implications for Christians.

It was a dark, dark night. A man was making his way home from working late, and as he often did, he walked home through a cemetery because it was a quicker route. However, because it was so dark, he didn’t notice a new grave had been dug in his path, and he tumbled into a 7 foot deep hole in the ...read more

What is love? What is it really? And how do we know we have it for one another? Especially when it comes to the one we consider marrying? God's Word is clear on what love is and what love is not.

The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 3:21-29 - Message 10 – The Law Was The Guide Dog – All Locked Up Under Sin – Exploring Baptism In The New Testament Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 13, 2024

The Law could not make one righteous but pointed the way to Christ. Scripture locks everyone up under the control of sin. The Law also locked up the ones under it as well. We open up the meaning of baptism in the New Testament, both water and Spirit. Both are essential.

Builders Of The Temple

Contributed by Phillip Smith on Mar 14, 2024

We read of Zerubbabel being the master carpenter over the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem. He did physically build a temple, however, the scripture alludes to one being named, ‘The Branch’, to build the temple, and, ‘they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the Lord.’
