    Contributed by Joe Friend on Feb 6, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,576 views

    Believers are puttering around wondering why their Christian life isn’t working – it’s simple, they have sin attached beneath the surface of their lives that needs to be removed.

    Two brothers, Harry and James, were playing right before bedtime, and somehow Harry hit James with a stick. Tears and bitter words followed and they were still angry as their mother prepared them for bed. Mother said, "Now James, before you go to bed you’re going to have to forgive your ...read more

    Naaman’s story is one not only of physical healing but it is the story of salvation illustrating the spiritual healing that man finds and the transformation that takes place only in and through the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Transformed 2 Kings 5:1-18 Concerning the story of Naaman an illustrious English professor said, It is “The most effective short story in human literature.” It is far more than just a story of the healing of a man with a skin disease. W.A. Criswell said that this account is ...read more

    Of all the men who ever lived, none have impacted humanity as Christ. His impact cannot be denied. The sovereign God-Man humbled Himself in obedience to the cross. We are admonished to possess the mind of Christ.

    Jesus Christ – the God-Man Philippians 2: 5-11 Today we come to a passage of Scripture that I approach with great delight and humility. I am well aware that all Scripture was given by inspiration of God, and yet in my estimation, this is one of the greatest paragraphs recorded in the entire ...read more

    Christ—the Light Of The World Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Sep 8, 2017
     | 16,874 views

    “I am the light of the world” is the highest claim that He has made so far in the Gospel of John. One of the definitions of God is that He is light (see 1 John 1:5). He is absolute in His holiness and in His justice.

    Jerusalem Lesson: Christ—The Light of the World John 8:12-20 Jesus had a method that He often followed. After an incident or a miracle, He gives a discourse on that subject. (John 8:12) Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk ...read more

    Do we find Him, or does He find us?

    We Have Found the Messiah: An Exposition of John 1:35-42 The previous passage was accented by John’s verbal testimony of the Christ when he calls out: “Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.” John the Baptist not only used the sign of water baptism as a testimony, but also ...read more

    Happy Surprise At The Judgment

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 27, 2021
     | 1,791 views

    Most think that when they stand before God in Judgment, it won't be pleasant, because they know their faults, weaknesses, & selfish. What if instead, we receive from God a ringing commendation and a smile of approval?

    Sermon # 20 - Seeing Ourselves As God Sees Us Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 30, 2023
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,403 views

    How often we allow our circumstances or people around us to shape the opinion we have of ourselves. Instead let’s look up to the Lord, and study His word to understand who we really are from God’s point of view.

    The way God saw Gideon In Judges 6:11-12 we read, “Gideon was threshing some wheat secretly in a wine press, so that the Midianites would not see him. The LORD's angel appeared to him there and said, “The LORD is with you, brave and mighty man!” (GNT) The people of Israel were in an arduous ...read more

    The strains of life for many of us can be difficult. You may ask, with all the success Simone Biles has had, her success, with so much to be proud of, how she could possibly have so many struggles.

    In Jesus our identity is to that we are children, fathers, or young men. This identity means that we are incompatible with the world, therefore we cannot love the world.

     | 942 views

    This sermon explores discerning divine truth from deception, and defending against the devil's schemes, using wisdom from 2 Corinthians 11:13-15.

    Good morning, beloved. In the words of the great Charles Spurgeon, "Discernment is not knowing the difference between right and wrong. It is knowing the difference between right and almost right." How fitting are these words as we gather today to delve into the depths of God's Word, seeking wisdom ...read more

    God appears obscure and enigmatic to us all at times, but as we persevere in our relationship with God we realize that God perseveres toward us also.
