Hopeless Ending—endless Hope - Mark 16:1-8 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jun 5, 2024

Mark's account of the resurrection ends this way: “Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone because they were afraid.” No appearances by Jesus? What kind of ending is that? It's a profound ending with an important lesson

Priorities Of God – In View Of The Life Of Job

Contributed by Jacob Kutty on Jul 14, 2007

If some one will ask you to describe a man, let us suppose you were asked to give a brief account of Job in your own word, many of you will start with his wealth or fame. Now let us look at what are the things God most cared about.

Priorities of God – in view of the life of Job Job 1: 1-3 (NIV) Today let us look at the life of Job and learn something. Let us read the first verse of the book of Job In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil. 2 ...read more

Fix Your Eyes On Jesus

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 9, 2022

In this account, Jesus’ disciples neither totally believed nor totally disbelieved His power to rescue them. We can’t ride the fence. We must keep our eyes fixed only on Jesus before we can expect to see Him work in our life.

Os Guinness tells us in his book In Two Minds, “To believe is to be ‘in one mind’ about accepting something as true; to disbelieve is to be ‘in one mind’ about rejecting it. To doubt is to waver between the two, to believe and disbelieve at once and so be ‘in two minds’.”(1) This morning we are ...read more

Alternative Creation Theory No.2 - The Gap Theory

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 21, 2023

There are four "theories" used by some believers to explain our origins apart from the biblical account of creation. We looked at "theistic evolution". Now we will look at the "Gap Theory". Is it a legitimate alternative? We need to examine its claims.

Four basic creation "theories" have been promoted by Christian theists over the years as alternatives to the biblical account of creation as recorded in the book of Genesis. They are theistic evolution, the gap theory, the day/age theory, and progressive creationism, each one contrived ...read more

The Battle Of Depression

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Nov 4, 2022

All of us at some point have dealt with depression. How do we overcome it? How do we defeat it? Today, we'll look at Asaph's account battling depression and trouble in Psalms 77. And more importantly, how to overcome.

Introduction When you review the great names and personalities of the Scriptures, you become aware very quickly that almost all of them knew, at one time or another, great discouragement and deep depression.

What Was The Real Reason For Palm Sunday? And The Donkey’s Special Part! A Palm Sunday Message Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 7, 2024

How does the donkey feature in the Palm Sunday account? Its story is interesting. We look at the prophetic Psalm 118; the entry Jesus made into Jerusalem; Isaac; and how that connects with His yet future Jerusalem entry at the Second Coming when He rides on the white horse not a donkey.
