"In The Last Days” – Where On Earth Is This Going? Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 27, 2022

The signs of the times are indicating we live in the last days the bible speaks of. What are these "last days" and how do we read them against history? We look at the current events in the world to gain some insight. It will but get worse.

“IN THE LAST DAYS” – WHERE ON EARTH IS THIS GOING? This is a biblical term found four times in the New Testament in the NASB. Only two of these will concern us in this message. They are – {{2Timothy 3:1 “Realise this, that IN THE LAST DAYS difficult times will come,”}} and {{2Peter 3:3 “Know ...read more

We Are Not Ignorant Of Satan’s Devices Or Schemes – Part 11 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 14, 2023

We end the schemes of Satan and consider a number of issues including the way Satan destroys so much. We look again into Islamic terrorism and the wicked United Nations. Our Governments are failing the people. Also, the weapons build-up.

WE ARE NOT IGNORANT OF SATAN’S DEVICES OR SCHEMES – PART 11 [34]. GOD BUILDS UP BUT SATAN BUILDS DOWN To build up is to edify. To edify is to improve, make morally stronger and sets one on the path to the goodness of God. Christians are to edify – to build up – not just themselves, but ...read more

The Wonder Of Jesus’ Crucifixion Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 24, 2013

Jesus shed His blood several times during the last 24 hours of His life. And there is a powerful story to be found in blood and water that came from Jesus’ side. Do you know what that story is? And do you know what it can mean to your life?

In Oklahoma, someone saw this poster promoting a Red Cross blood drive: "I gave my blood. Christ gave his. I give a pint. He gave all. The needle is small, sharp. The nails were large, dull. The table soft, restful. The cross rough, painful. The nurses ...read more

The Glory Of Israel Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 9, 2012

The Bible tells us that the Gospel was preached first to the Jews. Why would they get first crack at salvation? And what can this mean to us?

The Praise Of The Wise Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 22, 2013

The Day They Cancelled Jesus Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 13, 2021

The cancel culture has swept our nation... and destroyed lives, careers and futures. But the actions of those of the cancel culture are as old as history. They cancelled Abel, and the prophets... and they even cancelled Jesus. Or at least they thought they had.

OPEN: There is a phenomenon that is quickly sweeping through our country that’s called the “Cancel Culture.” It’s a mindset that demands that if anyone says or does something that someone else finds offensive, THAT PERSON must be silenced and destroyed. As a result people have lost their jobs, ...read more
