The Good, The Bad & The Ugly Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 17, 2006

Do you feel insignificant in your service to God? You may be more powerful than you thought. Or do you feel pretty secure? You may be more in need and weak than you thought. Take some advice from Philadelphia and Laodicea.

Even as the Philadelphian church doesn’t receive even one rebuke - the church at Laodicea receives not one commendation - the contrast couldn’t be more stark - and that’s not the only contrast we’ll see as we compare these two churches. -The church at Philadelphia was small in appearance but ...read more

Trust Above Your Circumstances

Contributed by Mark Haines on Apr 22, 2011

Our faith tends to rise and fall based on our circumstances. The more pain we feel the more doubt we express. But Jesus, even as he died on the cross, rose about his feelings of abandonment and entrusted his spirit into the Father’s care.

Introduction: I saw an article recently entitled, “God’s Friday.” That makes far more sense to me than “Good Friday.” There is nothing good about what happened to Jesus in and around Jerusalem about 2000 years ago. 1. Jesus’ Circumstances • Satan and his ...read more

The Danger Of Unconfessed Sin

Contributed by Sebastian D'souza on Jun 13, 2017

We learn from King David's fall with Bathesheba that covering up sin can do more damage than the sin that we are trying to cover up. The best thing is that we come clean. allowing our past to do more damage to our future.

We first moved into the house we live in 17 years ago. There is a huge pine tree outside which drops sap and pine needles everywhere. I still remember when it was about 10 feet tall.

The Two Pillars Of Godly Support: Belief And Love - 1john 3:23 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 5, 2022

Some Christians, when they are more established, very imperceptibly, lessen the trust in the Lord, and place it more in their own ability and decision-making. Not consciously, but bit by bit, they take back control of their own lives, and wonder why God seems absent. We look at belief and love.

The Revelation Of Jesus Christ

Contributed by Greg Lukis on Mar 1, 2013

This sermon, which is really more of a Bible study, suggests an overall purpose to the final book of the Bible by considering the meaning of the phrase in vs.1: "The Revelation of Jesus Christ."

The focus of this Bible Study is on the first verse of the final book of the Bible. Though the exposition covers just one verse, the insight gleaned from this exposition should enrich our appreciation for the entire book, as well as our understanding of its general purpose.
