Good Friday: Behold Your Mother... Series

Contributed by Captain Emily Vincent on Jul 10, 2023

Jesus Only Speaks a few words while he is on the cross...this short sermon looks into what Jesus was going through during that time of sacrifice and pain...and what he says to the few disciples who witnessed this horrific event and the last words of their Rabbi...

There are only a few things that we have recorded of what Jesus said from the cross…and it’s interesting to note, because as I was preparing for today, I was trying to wrap my head around the things Jesus was going through at the time…of course there is absolutely no way for me to do this, because ...read more

God Surprising Work Through Mothers

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 24, 2021

Things are so bad and prayer is so rare that the spiritually dull Eli, the priest, couldn’t identify when Hannah was praying. When the Bible says she “wept bitterly,” you should see Hannah in the worship center where her body convulses in tears.

Mother Nature's Father Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 9, 2021

The Bible says that the laws of nature are not eternal, but that they began in time, and they were put into operation by the Word of God. God is the Father of all nature, and He is the Father of all the wisdom and order that men attribute to nature.

The Bible consistently represents God as male. This is true for all 3 Persons of the Trinity. When the Son became flesh He became a man. The Holy Spirit is always called He. The male was also the first to be created. All of this in no way means that the Bible depreciates the female, for we will ...read more
