    Following Jesus can get you killed. God warns us that the enemy is near, large, dangerous, but temporary. Christian, hold on. In the end we win.

    Revelation, the Grand Finale of God’s Word Chapters 12-14 Lesson 6 Heaven’s Horrible Enemy Here on Earth Are you old enough to remember when we feared an atomic holocaust? The world super powers had amassed enough nuclear warheads to blow up the planet two or three times, and they had these ...read more

    Everyone can attest to the fact that our weather seems to be changing and as a result we are experiencing unparalleled disasters of near Biblical proportions or are they in fact just that; Biblical?

    Heaven and Earth Speak Luke 21:5-27 NIV Signs of the End of the Age 5Some of his disciples were remarking about how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said, 6"As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on ...read more

    Reaching Out To Jesus

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Jul 5, 2006
    based on 9 ratings
     | 4,014 views

    Jairus reached out on behalf of his daughter, the woman in the crowd reached out to Jesus for herself, and the crowd just wanted to be near to Jesus. How about us?

    (This is a short Homily given at a midweek Communion Service) The wonderful news about Jesus was spreading fast (Mark 5:20), and a large crowd has gathered around Jesus by the side of the Lake (Mark 5:21). As the events unfold, I wonder which character you most relate to. Which character is ...read more

    God Seekers

    I felt how privileged are we to just go near Him covering our face and demanding Him to remove the hands and play with us! He would.

    Contiually! Psalm 71:3”Be my strong refuge, To which I may resort continually; You have given the commandment to save me, For You are my rock and my fortress.” 6 to 1 fasting starts today! As I rush inside the school, with one million ‘to do’ things running in my mind; I ...read more

     | 4,760 views

    Jesus at his baptism, tood on our identity--that of a sinner. At our baptism, we take on Jesus' identity--missionary, evangelist proclaiming the God's kingdom is near.

    Matthew 3:13-17 “Dual Personality” INTRODUCTION A reader of the scriptures does not get very far in any of the four gospels before coming upon this critical event in the life of Christ—his baptism. It is one of the few incidents in Jesus’ life that is contained in all ...read more

    Jesus: The Second Adam Series

     | 10,499 views

    When you think of Old Testament shadows of Christ, Adam usually is not at the top of the list. This lesson shows why he should be near the top of your list.

    WHO AM I? My time on earth did not begin in a natural way. I had no earthly father. I was made in the image of God. I was innocent and without sin. In my innocence, I was tried and tempted by the serpent. I made an important decision which involved a tree that impacted all of history. My decision ...read more

    Have you had a ‘burning bush’ moment - a time when we can see that God is near and He is calling us to greater commitment and service to Him?

    Introduction This month we have been focused on recovery and looking at Scriptures that teach us how God plays a role in our victory over the addictions, struggles, persistent sins, and troubles in our lives. Our text offers a ‘burning bush’ moment - a time when we can see that God is near and He ...read more

    What Are You Thankful For

     | 23,651 views

    Here, near the end of his letter to the Church at Philippi, the Apostle Paul picks up on that connection. He links our Thanksgiving to God with peace in our mind.

    TITLE: WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR? SCRIPTURE: PHILIPPIANS 4:4-8 (This is not an original message, points gleaned from various ministers over the years) As many of you know in my haste, I actually scheduled our Church Anniversary/Homecoming a week early.

    Comfort My People

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 23, 2025
     | 355 views

    When our words fail, God’s word doesn’t—He comes near, carries us, and renews strength to walk, run, and sometimes soar.

    Isaiah 40 opens with a command from God’s heart: “Comfort, comfort my people.” Not “explain everything,” not “fix everything,” but comfort them. You’ve stood at hospital bedsides, gravesides, kitchen tables where bills and diagnoses stack up, and you’ve whispered, “What do I even say?” Isaiah ...read more

    The Faithful Saw Him

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 13, 2025
     | 341 views

    XMAS - Advent sharpens spiritual sight; like Simeon and Anna, we recognize Jesus through devotion, worship, and Spirit-led attentiveness as God draws near.

    THE EYES HAVE IT There is a quiet kind of beauty in the Advent season that has nothing to do with lights, trees, music, or celebration. It is the beauty of waiting. Of watching. Of learning to see God when He draws near. Advent, at its heart, is a season of holy attentiveness—where the people of ...read more

    Philadelphia: When Faithfulness Is Protected Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Feb 2, 2026
     | 158 views

    Philadelphia reveals faithfulness without strength: Jesus sees quiet obedience, keeps His people near, opens doors by grace, and promises permanent belonging forever.

    By the time we arrive at Philadelphia, we think we’re on familiar ground. The city of brotherly love. We’ve heard the phrase before. We know how it’s supposed to sound. No Quakers. No Liberty Bell. No 76ers or Eagles. No cheesesteaks. This Philadelphia is older than the phrase as we use it—and ...read more

     | 257 views

    True peace and purpose come from drawing near to God, letting go of distractions, and seeking His presence above all else in our daily lives.

    Friends, some weeks feel like a treadmill stuck on high speed. Our calendars crowd us, our phones buzz at us, and our souls sigh within us. We try to keep up appearances while our insides ache for an anchor. Have you felt that slow leak of peace, that subtle drift of the heart when worries and ...read more

    "Do You Want To Get Well?" Series

    Contributed by Phil Anderson on Jan 22, 2005
    based on 56 ratings
     | 8,177 views

    This is the first in a series of messages on the theme of becoming "spiritually" healthy. It is a sermon that challenges the believer to consider what God would want to do in his/her life in the near future.

    “Do You Want to Get Well?” John 5:1-15 JN 5:1 Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for a feast of the Jews. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. 3 Here a great number of disabled ...read more
