    David: His First True Love Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Nov 21, 2020
     | 4,853 views

    We sometimes forget that David was human and would enjoy companionship. One day he found his first true love and she was closer than he ever thought possible.

    Introduction: David was a young man when Samuel anointed him to be king over Israel and only a few years older, most likely, when he went into battle against Goliath. In the days and months afterwards, God was with him and blessed him in every way. But something that was not mentioned is David’s ...read more

    We observed last time that our salvation had nothing to do with who we are and what we’ve done…

    Review Just as He chose us in Him - Wuest: “He hath chosen”, “to pick out, choose” is in the middle voice where the subject of the verb acts in his own interest, “to pick or choose out for one’s self.” ...before the foundation of the world... - The word “foundation” is katabole, kat-ab-ol-ay', ...read more

    A Disturbed Woman Series

    Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at a well. Jesus is absolutely willing to break cultural norms. He is led by scripture. And the meeting brings great results.

    We’re in the third talk in our series on ‘Encounters with Jesus in John’s gospel.’ Last week, we looked at a passage in John 3. A man called Nicodemus met Jesus. He was a Pharisee and a member of the Jewish ruling council. In short, he was a very respectable man. Jesus told him that he needed ...read more

    You Are The Light Of The World. Be Who You Are

    What does it mean to be the light of the world? Is this a sweet nothing? Find out.

    2.5.23 Matthew 5:14-16 (EHV) 14 You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 People do not light a lamp and put it under a basket. No, they put it on a stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 In the same way let your light shine in people’s ...read more

    Be A Witness Of Jesus’ Transfiguration

     | 4,371 views

    As we peel back the layers, so to speak, of Jesus’ transfiguration we see how it confirms his identity, his mission, and his message. May the Holy Spirit enable us to be a witness of Jesus' transfiguration!

    This morning our worship service is focused on a single event from Jesus’ life. Through the hymns have sung and will sing, through our Scripture readings, and now in our sermon together we are considering the details and the meaning of our Savior’s transfiguration. Before we look more ...read more

    Why I Do Not Obey The Lord

     | 2,257 views

    Every pastor hears excuses. But some of the excuses he hears are better than the others.

    Illus: One lady gave her excuse for why she does not attend church. She said, "I don't go to church, and this is my reason: • If I go some of the time, it makes me want to go all the time. • And since I can't go all the time, it makes me feel guilty when I miss some of the time. • ...read more

    Do You Desire Healing?

     | 4,360 views

    Jesus confronted a man who had been ill for thirty-eighty years, and asked him if he desired to be healed. Jesus revealed that some people are not healed because they don’t want to be healed, or they lack the faith to be healed.

    A Kansas man by the last name of Florence told a story about his daughter who was suffering from an illness. Mr. Florence said, “My daughter, suffering from anorexia and bulimia, was undergoing treatment at Baptist Medical Center in Kansas City.

    Let Jesus Pilot Your Boat

     | 7,145 views

    In our voyage through life, we will encounter both smooth sailing and tempestuous seas brought on by raging storms or trials. We must realize that the Captain, Jesus Christ, is the only One who can pilot our boat safely into harbor.

    The first line of a well-known hymn says, “Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to Thy bosom fly. While the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high: Hide me, O my Savior, hide, till the storm of life is past. Safe into the haven guide; O receive my soul at last.”(1) Charles Wesley ...read more

    Grace From Galatians (7 0f 19)

     | 1,371 views

    The false religions of the world have one thing in common. They all desire to put people under bondage. Why do they want to put people under bondage? This is their way of keeping their members under their control.

    For example to understand that, we have to consider a dictator like Saddam Hussein. Why did he use intimidation, torture and death as a means to control the people of Iraq? The people in Iraq were afraid to say anything bad about him for fear that he would have them killed. Illus: Let me give you ...read more

    Grace From Galatians (8 Of 19)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022
     | 1,453 views

    One of the exciting things in the Christian life is to see someone come to know the Lord as their Savior. To know without a doubt that they have been gloriously saved from the bondage of sin.

    However, one of the saddest things in the Christian life is to see someone who professes to know the Lord but lives their life in such a way as to cast doubt on their salvation. Illus: Evangelist Ding Teuling is often asked how many were converted in some of his meetings. He tells them he really ...read more

    :We can become sluggish in our bodies and go to the doctor, and after a thorough examination he might conclude that our bodies are lacking in calcium, iron, potassium, or some other particular vitamin.

    In the passage of scripture under consideration, it seems as though Peter has examined us and has discovered we all have a deficiency when it comes to having the proper attitude toward certain things. One's attitude is how one thinks toward a certain thing. Our thinking can be correct or ...read more

    Acts Of The Apostles 34 Of 39

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022
     | 1,534 views

    In previous studies, we find all that had been prophesied about the apostle Paul had come to pass. He was taken by a mob that almost killed him, but was rescued by the chief captain who took him away from that crowd.

    He was brought before a council that did not care a thing about justice. When he observed that the council was composed of both Pharisees and Sadducees, he divided the group by stating he was a Pharisee, and a firm believer in miracles and the resurrection. Since the Sadducees did not believe ...read more

    In the previous sermon in this series, we dealt with the exciting story of God healing the lame man.

    We saw that when the Lord healed him, he went into the temple, "And all the people saw him walking and praising God: And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful. Gate of the temple... " Anyone who knew this man, knew this was a miracle, because they knew he had been ...read more

     | 2,813 views

    I would remind you again, that Luke is writing to his good friend, Theophilus. He is reporting on the activities of Christ's apostles.

    We can probably safely assume that Peter must have made a big impression on Luke, because in chapter two he recorded Peter's first message, and in chapter three he records Peter's second message. In Acts chapter three, we see three things we want to consider, such as: I. THEIR ...read more
