    Contributed by Darrin Fish on Sep 2, 2015
     | 7,281 views

    The first psalm with its pronouncement of blessing on all who respond by being faithful or loyal to the God of the covenant appropriately introduces the book of Psalms.

    What Is a Psalm • We have all heard of them / at one point or another read at least one of them. • We might even have a favorite one Psalm 23 • But what really is a Psalm and why are they so important? The English word "psalm" comes from the Latin Psalmi and the Greek psalmoi ...read more

    Rahab And The Spies Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jan 17, 2016
     | 12,496 views

    There was a time when we were like Rahab. We were outside of the family of God, living in the blindness and corruption of sin, till God instilled faith in us. Like Rahab, we are invited just as we are. God will take us and transform us.

    This is a story of grace... The last time spies were sent to do a covert reconnaissance of the Promised Land, there were twelve, sent by Moses, and only two of them, Caleb and Joshua, had faith to believe God would grant Israel victory. Perhaps symbolically, Joshua sent two men to glean ...read more

    Peace with God is nothing to be taken lightly; it took God’s immense sacrificial love to attain, and its effects in our life can be surprising, it includes walking through difficult times.

    Proven Love (Romans 5:1-11) 1. We Vasiceks are in the midst of living out the implications of the verses we are about to study this week.I can’t say what God is teaching others, but it has been an intensive therapy for my patience and hope muscles. 2, You know the rough experiences we had this ...read more

    A Patient Faith Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 4, 2018
     | 4,433 views

    God’s kingdom advances by faith and recedes by unbelief. The kind of faith that proves itself best is a patient faith.

    A Patient Faith (Hebrews 11:23-31) 1. Some people hold faith in contempt or treat it lightly. Some churches also cheapen the faith, treating it as a business. 2. Two old Jewish men are strolling down the street one day when they pass by a church in a very affluent neighborhood. They see a big ...read more

    The Character Of A Woman Of Virtue Series

    Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Dec 2, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 22,972 views

    The Proverb 31 is not only about the character of a Godly woman, but wisdom in action. Ruth was called a woman of virtue before she got married as an encouragement to all women. God is looking for the fruit bearing and not charisma.

    The Character of a Woman of Strength Text: Proverb 31:10-31 Message: An Excellent Woman The book of Proverb is a very difficult book to draw expository sermon from, because of the didactic or instructive nature and arrangement of the texts. It is also full of parallelism ...read more

    From Rags To Riches Series

    Contributed by Donald Mcculley on Jun 10, 2019
     | 5,945 views

    Introduction: Everyone likes a “from rags to riches” story. If you are a child of God then this text is “your story”! Paul boldly declares our riches (richness) in Christ. Let’s go to the ATM (Almighty Treasure Mine) and find out what the balance is in our account.

    The book of Ephesians is a goldmine full of great, grand and glorious truths. It has been called “The Queen of the Epistles”. “The Alps of the New Testament” and “The Third Heaven Epistle”. Curtis Vaughn says “It is considered by many people to be the greatest of Paul’s writings.” F.W. Farrar ...read more

    Isaiah has much to say about the Millennium, and many of the millennial truths have surprising implications for us today.

    Kingdom Come (Isaiah 2:1-4, 4:2-6) 1. Today, my old joke was Peter Roussakis’ favorite – at least of all the jokes I told. 3 Greeks and 3 Turks are travelling by train to a conference. At the station, the 3 Turks each buy tickets and watch as the 3 Greeks buy only a single ticket. "How ...read more

    Parables: One of Christ’s most popular forms of teaching.

    A. WHAT IS A PARABLE? 1. A parable is a story. a. Actions that lead to a conclusion. b. Actors who are people. c. Narrative or interaction. 2. That is true to life.
