    Intro: How many of you grew up when having a big front porch was the way houses were built…they were built that way because in that time people were open to having friends just drop in and they would sit on the front porch and talk…in fact I can call my dad and 7 out of 10 times he is on the front ...read more

    Faith...to be embalmed and put in a coffin for 359 years, stored possibly in someone's living room (what a conversation piece when friends come over), all because of a promise. Will you have enough faith so you will not be left behind?

    Gen 50:24-26 24 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 25 And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my ...read more

    Am I My Brother's Keeper?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 13, 2025
     | 398 views

    Cain’s defiant question “Am I my brother’s keeper?” denied responsibility for Abel’s life. The gospel calls us instead to love and protect others, with Jesus as the true Keeper.

    Introduction – The Question Everyone Knows Almost everyone has heard the line “Am I my brother’s keeper?” It shows up in political speeches, social campaigns, even sitcom punch lines. It sounds noble—like a call to look after one another. But here’s the surprise: those words were never a command ...read more

    Empathic Compassion: Experiencing Your Pain In My Heart

    Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Feb 18, 2021
     | 2,144 views

    When I think of Jesus I think of empathy and compassion; they are embedded Jesus' salvific mission. Too often clergy and Christians take a propositional approach to the Gospel. Loving and caring for people according to the example Jesus set requires us to demonstrate empathy and compassion.

    I carefully watched him as he walked down the hall; he was dressed in a long flowing white coat. His head hung unpersuasively from his shoulders. The doctor's demeanor suggested he was intensely contemplating what he would say to us, or he was envisioning another appointment. Halfway down ...read more

    Jesus concluded the profound statements from the cross with a final prayer to the Father. This was not a resignation of defeat, but the words of the sovereign Lord who remained in complete control, even in death.

    Father, Into Thy Hands I Commend My Spirit Luke 23:46 This morning we come to the last of the seven sayings our blessed Lord spoke while hanging upon the cross.

     | 2,895 views

    The word for our message today is behold. The word behold by itself is not an especially important word, but what follows the word behold is particularly important. The word behold is God's stop, look and listen word. It's a word that demands our attention.

    One of the best and most rewarding ways of studying the Bible is the word method. You take a word, using a concordance, find the different ways the word applies to us. Such verses as 1 John 1:9 and Hebrews 4:16. such words as found in Psalm 37; trust, delight, commit and rest. Then it's ...read more

    Peter goes down in the history books for a number of things:

    (1) He is known for his impulsiveness. It is always a good policy that, before we do something, we stop and think about what we are preparing to do. Why? Because the decisions we make come with consequences. But Peter is the kind of fellow that did things, and generally suffered the ...read more
