Discipleship And Distortion (September 20, 2012).

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020

In this passage of scripture, we can see three things. First, we can see where caution hinders compassion. Secondly, we can see where compassion builds community. Finally, we can see where members of the community must be accountable to God and each other.

DISCIPLESHIP AND DISTORTION Text: Mark 9:38 – 50 There is the story of an army chaplain who once told his men that he did not believe in hell. Some of his men responded by saying that his services would no longer be needed. The one who tells this story (Warren W. Wiersbe) also says ...read more

Praying Psalm 20 (Part One) Series

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 10, 2021

Psalm 20 was a prayer for the king who was going into battle. But this psalm applies to us too. In Psalm 20 we see love, care and concern as well as encouragement, faith and trust. It's a good psalm to focus on, take to heart and pray.

PRAYING PSALM 20 (part one) Last week I talked about getting alone with God in silent solitude. Obviously when we do that we are going to spend at least some of that time in prayer. We pray for what's on our heart and we pray for others and we pray for our town, state, country, world. Someone ...read more

Perspective And Persuasion (March 20, 2009)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 15, 2022

Unlike Agrippa, Festus would not have been familiar with the prophets, like Agrippa because he was not as familiar with the Jewish religion. Paul was speaking soberly about his subject.

ACTS 26: 28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, "You almost persuade me to become a Christian." 29 And Paul said, "I would to God that not only you, but also all who hear me today, might become both almost and altogether such as I am, except for these chains." PERSPECTIVE AND ...read more

Loyal Friends (1 Samuel 20)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 16, 2025

How rare is it to find a true friend willing to die for you? Is Jesus such a friend? Let's begin in 1 Samuel 20.

Are loyal friends hard to find? Are we loyal to our friends even to death? Is Jesus a true friend? Let’s look at a special friendship in 1 Samuel 20. Did David ask Jonathan why Saul was determined to kill him? David fled from Naioth in Ramah. He came to Jonathan and said, “What have I done? What ...read more

What Is Holiness? (Leviticus 19-20) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Aug 27, 2024

Holiness is a common, fuzzy word. But basically it comes to the idea of "dedication." God is dedicated to his people; God expects them to mirror Him, and be dedicated to Him the same way.

Today, we are going to rabbit trail for just a week, and talk about holiness. One of the hardest things to explain in the entire Bible, in my opinion, is the idea of holiness. The Bible often tells us that God is holy, and when the Bible tells us this, it tends to be in very serious, weighty ...read more

Between Two Advents (Revelation 20) Series

Contributed by James Jackson on Nov 30, 2025

Revelation 20 speaks to Christians living in the “in-between”—after Christ’s first coming but before His return. In the tension of the middle, we find hope: Jesus wins, evil ends, and our future is secure.

Good morning! Please turn in your Bibles to Revelation 20. We come into worship this morning with what may be a once-in-a-lifetime alignment of circumstances, at least as far as a church calendar goes. It’s the first Sunday of Advent, when we begin focusing on Jesus’ coming into the world. It’s ...read more

Space To Repent (1 Kings 20)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 7, 2025

Does God give us space to repent? Let's look at 1 Kings 20.

Did God show mercy to Ahab in the hope of repentance? Does God also give us a chance to repent? Let’s look at 1 Kings 20. What did king Ben-Hadad of Aram do to Israel and king Ahab? Now Ben-Hadad the king of Syria [Aram] gathered all his forces together; thirty-two kings were with him, with ...read more

Sermon # 20 - God Will Make A Way Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 15, 2025

The Israelites were hemmed in from behind and before, and in such a critical situation they looked up to the Lord who intervened to bring a mighty deliverance. No matter what our fears or anxieties, let’s look up to Jesus who died to save us and lives to deliver us from all our fears.

We read in Exodus 14:10, “When the Israelites saw the king and his army marching against them, they were terrified and cried out to the LORD for help.” (GNB) In this incidence, we see that multitudes of Israelites who were fleeing from Egypt were filled with dread, and they had every reason to do ...read more

Stopping A Rebel (2 Samuel 20)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on May 17, 2025

When should we stop a rebel and when not? Let's look at 2 Samuel 20.

When reconciliation cannot be had, how can a rebel’s destructive influence be stopped? Let’s begin in 2 Samuel 20. Did a rebel named Sheba, son of Bikri, stir up division among the tribes? Now a wicked [worthless] man, a Benjaminite named Sheba son of Bichri, happened to be there. He blew the ...read more

A Child-Like Humility

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 10, 2018

A CHILD-LIKE HUMILITY. Mark 9:30-37. 1. CONTEXT (Mark 8:29-34). On the back of Peter’s famous confession of faith (Mark 8:29), Jesus began to teach His disciples about His upcoming death and resurrection (Mark 8:31). About this the disciples were, to say the least, slow on the uptake: ...read more
