Jesus Christ Is Alive: Do You Believe This?

Contributed by Brian Williams on May 2, 2025

Only Christianity can talk about a prophet who died and who physically rose again, who is alive, still active, still speaking, still interceding, still saving and still changing lives forever - Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Savior of the world.

Luke 24:1-12 20 April 2025 Today we will be talking about the event that has changed the course of the world, the most significant day in human history…the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Sermon # 35 - The Heart Of A Christian Leader Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 19, 2024

Jonah was a prophet of God, but he did not understand the loving heart of God towards a repentant people. The heart of Moses as a leader of the Israelites and the forgiving heart of Jesus are the best examples of how a Christian leader should love and care for the people under his or her care.

We read in Jonah 4:1, “Jonah was very unhappy about this and became angry.” (GNB) There are two kinds of emotions that Jonah expressed as mentioned in the verse above, one was sadness, and the other was anger. As we meditate on this portion of scripture, we will try to understand the reasons for ...read more

Sermon # 17 - Stop Striving - Start Trusting Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 16, 2024

While Jonah the prophet of God thought of no one but himself, the mariners who were unbelievers were so concerned about him. The church needs to be filled with those who have compassion for the lost, who depend on entirely on the Lord and lead many into His Kingdom.

We read in Jonah 1:11-14, The storm was getting worse all the time, so the sailors asked him, “What should we do to you to stop the storm?” Jonah answered, “Throw me into the sea, and it will calm down.

"is There No Balm Or Leadership In Gilead?"

Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Mar 15, 2024

"Israel's failure to listen to God's prophet despite repeated warnings, symbolized by the balm of Gilead, raises the question of whether the current church leadership also lacks the necessary foresight and willingness to repent. Are they repeating the same mistakes?"

Building On The Rock Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 18, 2024

Those who heed the message of a false prophet are unwise, building their hope on an unstable foundation. Jesus discusses "doing" vs. "doing his will," as many who proclaim to do works in His name will wind up in hell.

Our message today picks up where we left off, where Jesus warned us about false prophets who are ravenous wolves in sheep’s clothing (cf. Matthew 7:15-20). When I preached from that passage, I began with the fairy tale of “Little Red Riding Hood” and the wolf as our opening illustration. This ...read more

Israel Identified Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Sep 28, 2019

The Jews make a case for failure on God’s part to fulfill His promises. This is the first step toward Paul's argument concerning the righteousness of God in calling the Gentiles into the blessing of salvation.

(31) Israel Identified Romans 9:6-13 6 But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect.

Experiments In Forgiving Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Sep 11, 2021

In Matthew 5:38-42 we see Jesus presenting us God’s standard as an Experiment for us in Forgiving. Jesus outlines: 1) The Principle of Mosaic Law (Matthew 5:38), and gives four illustrations on: 2) The Perspective of Divine Truth (Matthew 5:39-42).

Matthew 5:38-42 [38]"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.'[39] But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. [40] And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let ...read more

A Reward For Obedience

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 17, 2020

Children are a divine blessing. Contemporary views depreciate the blessing of children, but even a cursory review of the Word reveals that children are a blessing from the hand of the Lord. Children are given to those with whom He is pleased.

Naaman's Miracle
