Not 'if' But 'when' Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Sep 19, 2021

A lot of people are wondering if we’re seeing the beginning the Tribulation or the end times and I thought that we would look at one particular vision that Ezekiel had to help us possibly get a Biblical perspective on the dynamic forces that seem to be tearing our world apart today.

“You’re pregnant.” Three of the most beautiful … and three of the most terrifying … words you’ll ever hear.

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Jan 1, 2021

This sermon focuses attention on the kind of relationship that God desire each of us to aspire to in order to enjoy genuine relationships. It uses the story of the friendship between Jonathan and David to illustrate the type relationship God blesses.

Bass, a character from “The Andy Griffith Show” gives us a glimpse of a friendship moment: “Malcom, I ain’t gonna touch a hair on your head. You’re my friend, my true friend.

Pergamum: Satan's Throne Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jan 24, 2021

Are we clinging to our faith in Jesus and His word as firmly and as stubbornly as the Christians in Pergamum did or are we guilty of trying to live a compromised life with one foot in the world and one foot in the church?

Mid-tribulation position (Prewrath) is analyzed in light of Scripture and Scholarship. Strengths and weaknesses of this eschatology are examined.

Behold Your Son/Behold Your Mother Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Mar 21, 2022

The crowds were mocking, the thieves were taunting, the priests were jeering, the soldiers were indifferent, the Savior was bleeding — and all the while His mother witnessed the horrible mockery.

I think you’d agree: there is something noteworthy about the last words of men and women. Winston Churchill’s last words were reported, “I’m bored with it all,” as he died of a stroke at the age of 90. Maybe the amusing last words were by the king of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley, who said, “I’m ...read more

Zechariah’s Third Vision: City Without Walls) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Nov 10, 2021

The Jews in Jerusalem were thinking too small in their expectations of God's goodness. God's future for his people is so abundant that man-made walls could not contain the blessings. Jerusalem will be a "city without walls."

We are becoming familiar with the book of Zechariah. For most Christians, it is a closed book. But God is opening this word to us because it is so relevant to world events today and to our personal journey in God. Today we enter Zechariah’s third vision recorded in chapter 2. The vision, as a ...read more

Fired Up: From Anger To Action

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025

Anger shows up—on the road, at home, at work. Psalm 37 teaches us not to “burn” (fret) but to trust, wait, and do good. The bible distinguishes anger that seeks justice from anger that seeks control. Trust God’s justice, practice meekness, and pursue peace in Christ.

Road Rage Let me ask you a simple question: “When was the last time you got angry?” Maybe it was this morning when that driver cut you off in traffic. Maybe it was last night when your teenage kid rolled their eyes at you one too many times. Or maybe you’re angry right now about something deeper - ...read more

Wolves Among The Flock

Contributed by Roger Griffith on Oct 18, 2000

Under the New Covenant, modern day prophets do not lead, guide, or direct people’s lives. Seeking prophets for guidance brings massive confusion into a Christian’s life. We are to be led by the "Sure Word of God" (2Pet.1:19) and the "Spirit of God" (Rom.

WOLVES AMONG THE FLOCK TEXT: 2 Pet 1:16-19 INTRODUCTION: 2Pet 1:19 says we have a "more sure word of prophecy." It is more sure than "cleverly devised fables." It is more sure than an "eye-witness" account. It is more sure than a "voice" from the heavens. It is the Bible! I. DAVID ...read more
