    Why She Gave Series

    Contributed by Scott Sutton on Oct 31, 2022
     | 1,915 views

    Christmas is less than 2 months away, in fact it’s only 56 days from today! I don't believe anyone would argue the fact that Christmas is the season of giving. Maybe you remember this book. It is one of the most popular fiction books ever written on the subject of giving at Christmastime.

    It is called; "A Christmas Carol” written by Charles Dickens. The publishing of his book was hugely popular; its first printing of 6,000 copies sold out in less than three days, and that was back in 1843 on December 19th just 6 days before Christmas; that was without computers, television, not ...read more

    Have We Had The Scripture Test? Series

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 3, 2022
     | 875 views

    Believers are urged not to sin, but if they do, they have an advocate with God the Father. Believers are told to have love for one another, thereby showing that they are followers of Christ.

    In verses 1-2: John is at this point an extremely elderly person. He has spent practically each of his years in the service of the Lord, and a considerable amount of his readers were for sure his spiritual youngsters. John utilizes the phrase “little children” in a warm, paternal way. He is not ...read more

    Gideon: The Two Tests He Had To Pass Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Nov 5, 2022
     | 2,233 views

    Gideon had met the Angel of the LORD face to face, one day, and that night, received a message from the LORD. That message contained instructions for two of the most difficult things Gideon would ever be asked to do.

    (Note: this message is based on and edited from a sermon preached at First Baptist Church of Chamois, MO on 10-16-2022 but is not an exact transcription.) Introduction: Gideon had just realized he saw the Angel of the LORD and was probably trying to take it all in. He was one of only a few people ...read more

    Breaking Our Flask

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 1, 2022

     | 6,699 views

    Some people, like Judas, are ignoring God's call, as they are too busy making their life in this world secure. Like the woman who broke her alabaster flask, we must break our flesh so the good things of God can pour out of us.

    Henry Ward Beecher once said, “In this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich.”(1) Our passages of Scripture for this morning speak of sacrifice. One definition of sacrifice is “to offer to God in homage or worship,” and another one is “to destroy, surrender, or ...read more

    Was A Sacrificial Lamb Really Necessary For Humanity?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jun 9, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 345 views

    If a sacrificial lamb was necessary for people during Biblical times, is one still necessary for people of today?

    As the Hebrews arranged for their departure from subjugation in Egypt, they were told to make bread without yeast (“unleavened bread”) on the grounds that they lacked the necessary amount of time to sit and wait for it to rise. Yeast was likewise an image of wrongdoing, so they were directed to ...read more

    Jesus Faced Judgment In Front Of Pontius Pilate Series

    Contributed by Robert Irvine on Jul 24, 2024
     | 307 views

    Jesus was judged by Pilate and was taken away and died on the cross at Golgotha. Pilate knew that Jesus was innocent yet he substituted the innocent man, Jesus, for the guilty robber and murderer, Barabbas.

    The prophet Isaiah wrote that the suffering servant would suffer judgment. In the previous sermonm, we saw how Jesus was silent when confronted by Pontius Pilate at his illegal trial. I don’t want to repeat what has been said, but suffice it to say Jesus was judged by Pilate and was taken away and ...read more

    Lessons Concerning Idolatry In Specific–eating Meats Offered To Idols

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Aug 14, 2024
     | 353 views

    Apostle Paul warns of fellowshiping with devils. Anything concerning idols and worship to idols is taking away our true worship to Almighty God. Flee from all forms of idolatry.

    “I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils:, says Apostle Paul. To what extent are we to adhere to this rule? Fellowshiping with anyone who is a habitual sinner is fellowshiping with devils. It is to devils they worship in their iniquities. The blatant sinner is mastered by devils and ...read more

    Gethsemane Series

    Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Sep 1, 2023
     | 1,133 views

    The cross wasn’t a tragic mistake. It didn’t “happen” to Jesus. He wasn’t a victim of circumstance. Jesus died because He deliberately chose to lay down His life – and he made that choice at Gethsemane. The war was not over, but the battle was won at Gethsemane.

    September 02, 2023 Today we are going to conclude the Gospels section of our series with Gethsemane. The Passover meal was over. Judas had left the group to make arrangements for the betrayal of Jesus. Now as the little party made their way to the Mount of Olives, Jesus made a startling ...read more

    Ephesians 2:13 reminds us of the profound transformation that occurs when we accept Christ's sacrifice. We move from a state of separation and distance from God to being brought near through His blood.

    "Brought Near by the Blood of Christ" Introduction: Greetings, dear congregation. Today, we gather to delve into the powerful message of Ephesians 2:13 from the New Living Translation: "But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God, but now you ...read more

    Series: Action [#102] DON’T QUIT- HOW DO YOU SMELL? 2 Corinthians 2:12-17 Introduction: We often talk about the importance of what we say and do; but what about how we smell?

    How Can We Stand In The Gap?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 27, 2023
     | 1,589 views

    What is it to stand in the gap for someone else? Is it to stand in the place for another?

    In Chapter 22, we learn why judgment would be placed on Jerusalem (22:2-16), how it would approach them (22:17-22), and who would be affected by it (22:23-31). The Jewish leaders were particularly liable for the ethical environment of the country since God had picked them to lead. Those actions and ...read more

    A Great Love Story Rarely Told

    Contributed by Craig Benner on Feb 14, 2024
     | 1,025 views

    We all know the greatest love story is found in John 3:16. There are also many others in the Bible. A few are less talked about than others. There is one that is not considered very much, and for sure, it is hardly ever imitated or emulated.

    ONE OF THE GREATEST LOVE STORIES RARELY TOLD (and more rarely lived out) No butterflies in the stomach or cupids' arrows flying here. God is still looking for someone to espouse the vow of rescuing the perishing; even those who claim that they do not want to be saved. Text to read: Hosea ...read more

    The Spirit Of Sacrificial Laws Series

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Oct 20, 2021
     | 1,338 views

    Offerings were given often in Israel. One of those special offerings was the Passover lamb (Numbers 28:16). How does any of the sacrificial system apply to the Christian in the spirit? Paul gave the Romans a basic principle that applies the law in spirit.

    Burnt offerings (Numbers 28:2-6) and grain and drink offerings (Numbers 28:2-8) were given often, as well as a whole liturgy of other offerings throughout the years.
