    "all Aboard?!"

    Contributed by Dwight Davis on Jun 22, 2002
    based on 79 ratings
     | 9,637 views

    The account of the great flood holds many spiritual lessons for the Christian today, for this story parallels the spiritual condition of our generation and gives us a glimpse of not only God’s judgement but also His grace.

    “All Aboard?!” Did you know that there were only ten generations from Adam to Noah? Think about it; only ten generations from the point when God created man perfectly and in “His image”, until he became so corrupt...that, when God looked down he saw; “.....that every ...read more

    Ruth, Boaz And Redemption Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 7, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,164 views

    So why is it so important that we have a book of the Bible named Ruth? Because of the redemption story. It parallels our own redemption story. Ruth was cursed as a Moabite. We are cursed as children of Adam.

    Why is it so important for us that we have a book of the Bible named Ruth? Why are the last verses of the book of Ruth almost the first ones opening the New Testament? The first three chapters of Ruth start to answer these questions, but chapter 4 gives us clarity on the reasons why. The Book of ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 5, 2023
     | 1,588 views

    The Church universal is a New Testament concept revealed at the appropriate time, but it is special to see some types in the Old Testament that hint at the Church to come. These make interesting studies and parallels. Types always are satisfying to study.

    SOME ASPECTS OF THE CHURCH FROM ITS BEGINNING – TYPES OF THE CHURCH FOUND IN THE OLD TESTAMENT – PART 3 OLD TESTAMENT TYPES OF THE CHURCH The Church is not mentioned in the Old Testament and was a concept fully unknown, as Israel only was the focus. For those Old Testament believers who studied ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 15,585 views

    The unbelievable account of how a nation which was totally committed to God – in one generation – walked away from God and became an idolatrous nation.There’s an eerie parallel to America; we must contend for revival!

    ONE GENERATION FROM EXTINCTION Judges 2:6-15 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: 1. Someone has said, “Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said.” 2. You spend the first two years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you ...read more

    An approach to why Jesus always speaks in Parables, its importance to us in this modern, highly technological world in comparison and in relation to the Pencil’s qualities.

    This sermon looks at the issue of abortion and dispells many of the modern myths we have about abortion and reminds us of the forgiveness found in Jesus Christ.

    This morning we come to an issue that I believe to be one of the most crucial topics we have ever addressed here at this church...an issue that I myself am very passionate about yet an issue that to often the church has been willing to turn a blind eye to. Abortion. It’s an issue that divides ...read more

    1875 William Booth preached a prophetic message on the greatest threat to modern Chrisitanity would be a watering down of the Gospel message. No conversion without Conviction!

    "Your soul weighs in the balance" Matthew 7:20-23 My greatest fear is that one day the Lord Jesus might tell me that during the ministry he entrusted me with, I had failed to proclaim a clear gospel message to someone of how they come to be saved.

    Contributed by Donnie Martin on Aug 9, 2007
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,152 views

    Paul had a great longing to be like his Lord. We as modern-day Christians should have that same consuming desire to be like Jesus.

    LONGING FOR THE LIKENESS OF THE LORD Text: Ps.17: 15; Phil.3: 8, 9 Intro: Webster’s Dictionary defines the word “longing” as a “strong desire; yearning.” It almost goes without saying that everyone has strong desires of one sort or another. And the list of things for which people desire is ...read more

    In Genesis 11 we have the family tree of Shem, but only 3 women are mentioned by name - very Chauvinistic to our modern way of thinking!

    Genesis 11 - Part 5 - SO, IS GOD A CHAUVINIST? Being an only son not only meant growing up in a house full of women, but also it meant that I was the last of the Cochrane's in my family line. I carried on the name of Cochrane when I had a son. My son's wife is about to have a son. This means that ...read more
