Good News In An Unexpected Place Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jul 17, 2021

When people send out baby shower invitations, they primarily mail them to family and friends. I once saw a really funny movie, a comedy, where a couple sent out fake shower announcements when they weren’t really going to have a baby.

Experience The Gift Of A New Beginning

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jul 22, 2021

The pharisees and Scribes used this woman as a pond in their scheme. In this one move, they could condemn the woman, turn the crowd against her and turn them away from the influence of Jesus. One slip of the tongue would be the end of Jesus. Yet Jesus offered a new beginning to all!

The lesson today is one of that was avoided by the early Church and was even left out of some early manuscripts. This is Jesus second discourse in the temple. Only a day or so before this event, many had marveled at his doctrine. The jealous Jewish leaders accused him of having a devil. Jesus ...read more

What Will The New Universe Be Like?

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 27, 2021

What if I told you everything around you, every chair, every building, every blade of grass was destined for destruction

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, ...read more

New Wine, Old Wineskins Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 31, 2022

The Pharisees were hopping mad that Jesus and his disciples were living it up feasting, celebrating and having a good old time. Why were Jesus disciples feasting and not fasting? As usual Jesus not only answered their question, but gave them a deeply profound theological answer.

There is an old television commercial that I still remember, and I still snicker when I think about it. The commercial is in black and white. A somber old man in a cold grey stone building barks out these words; Tenacity! Gumption! Discipline! Suddenly there is color, party music and they switch ...read more

The Emperor’s New Grove

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 9, 2022

The Disney movie "The Emperor's New Groove" sounds like its straight out of the Bible; a story where a king, along with his evil female advisor, desire a new plot of ground. This sermon addresses the slippery slope of envy and coveting.

In Disney’s thirty-ninth animated film, “The Emperor’s New Groove,” self-proclaimed “King of the World” Kuzco (COOS-coh), who had an evil female advisor named Yzma (EEZ-muh), made plans to demolish an entire village to build a new water park. At the highest point of the village he planned on ...read more

A New Heart For A Fresh Start

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Feb 22, 2022

Jesus’ teaching and ministry was a way of reframing the use of Scripture. The Scribes had made notes that were superimposed on Scripture. Jesus holds before us a new way of living life. One based on mercy, grace, and love. Jesus modeled the heart and intent of God.

Old Dogs And New Tricks Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

Shallowness always leads to folly, but depth, when it is directed by wisdom, will lead to a life pleasing to God and appealing to man. Very seldom is a truly wise man proud. He is humbled because he knows so well how little he really knows.

Proverbs by their very nature are often paradoxical, and they often seem to contradict one another. They only do so, however, if we take them as absolutes which are true in every case. If we take them as stating a truth of a segment of reality, and not all of reality, we will see there are ...read more

Bogus Resolutions (New Year)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 1, 2022

Sometimes the question is asked, “Is it right to make New Year’s resolutions?”

Of course it is. But the reason the question is asked, is because every year many folks make BOGUS RESOLUTIONS they do not intend to keep. People make them for various reasons. They make them before the New Year, and they break them shortly after. God is not pleased with BOGUS RESOLUTIONS! But ...read more
