Satan’s Fourfold Purpose

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 29, 2022

We all have seen or attended costume parties at which everyone wore masks.

At a party like that a person can be in a room full of people they know, yet they may not know a person there. Only when the masks are removed can they know for sure who the people are. Did you know that Satan has always worn a mask? He knew from the beginning if anyone recognized him for who he ...read more

What King Is Announced By A Star? Series

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Dec 4, 2021

Stars cause us to wonder. What was the star that appeared when Jesus was born? Was it a comet from a remote part of the solar system which happened to arrive at just the right time? Or was the universe itself acknowledging the coming of its creator and king?

Last Sunday we started our Christmas series of talks. I’ve given the series the title ‘NOT YOUR USUAL KING’. There are lots of ways in which Jesus is NOT your usual king. Last week we looked at some prophecies in the Old Testament that gave us the when, where and who of Jesus’ birth. No king ...read more

Where Is Meaning? Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 27, 2023

Today many are re-evaluating the lifestyle of seeking pleasure. The rich and famous are coming to the same conclusion of another rich and famous person Solomon, “meaningless”.

People try all avenues to bring meaning and purpose to their life. I said to myself, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure to find out what is good.” But that also proved to be meaningless. (Ecclesiastes 2:1) You name any field, professional sports, business, politics and if you do just a ...read more

The greatest witness to God's power come from those on the margins.

Losing Our Inheritance

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Nov 14, 2019

Soda pop tastes good, but a diet of soda pop leaves us severely malnourished. Sermons that just complement us all the time produce stunted Christians.

There was once a major public health crisis in a third world country. The problem was orange soda pop, Orange Fanta. Illiterate mothers saw the billboards for Orange Fanta and thought, “Oh, it must be modern. It must be healthy. It has a nice, pretty color.” When they tasted it they discovered ...read more

Jesus Anointed

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Mar 15, 2018

In the Gospels we see two separate but distinct accounts of Jesus being anointed by women. Today let's take a look at the reactions of the Pharisees, the disciples and the "anointers" and see how we measure up.

Please stand and repeat with me our current memory verse ... 2 Timothy 2:11-13 “Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with Him, we will also live with Him; if we endure, we will also reign with Him. If we disown Him, He will also disown us; if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He ...read more

Greed - America's God Series

Contributed by Bob Marcaurelle on Sep 10, 2020

What we think about the most; work the hardest for and love the most is our "god". And for most Americans, even those in our churches, this is material possessions. We worship "ourselves" and the possessions are out offerings to ourselves
