Contributed by Ovidiu Radulescu on Feb 23, 2007

God’s free grace may be good news for a dying backslider; but what about the dying missionary? Doesn’t he deserve at least equal treatment? Analyzing the parable of laborers in the Vineyard from Mat. 20, we continue to be astonished at God’s way of worki

Again?! Pentecost Series

Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on Jun 11, 2013

This is the story of Pentecost along with stories of revival from more recent church eras.

Not In My House!

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Mar 10, 2015

I have often wondered just what Jesus would have seen that day that caused so much righteous anger to rise up within him? Surely these Moneychangers and Shopkeepers were no more frustrating to Jesus than so many of the religious leaders he had encountered throughout His ministry!

Where Your Treasure Is

Contributed by Glynda Lomax on May 23, 2021

Idolatry is anything we run to besides the Lord for comfort. Whatever we spend all our time, money and energy on will show us if there are idols in our lives.

The title of my message today is Where Your Treasure Is. We are going to talk about idolatry today. I was doing housework one day this week and the Lord told me something about idolatry.

Ruth: Refugee With A Human Face

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jun 21, 2021

The Book of Ruth doesn't get much attention, but it can remind us that God sees refugees and can use them in his purposes.

I imagine we probably all have a favorite book of the Bible. The gospels should be high on everyone’s list because they tell us the story of Jesus. And when the church’s heart and mind are fixed on Jesus, everything comes together. When we lose sight of Jesus things go wrong. Luke is my ...read more

The Wise Wife

Contributed by Bradley Boydston on Dec 26, 2005

At our Christmas Eve service each year I tell a silly story which deals with an aspect of the Christmas story. This one has to do with the wisemen.

There are lots of wisemen legends that have been perpetuated over the years. For example, it doesn’t say anywhere in the Bible that three kings visited Jesus bearing gifts. It’s just not there! First of all, they were “magi” or “wisemen” – perhaps astrology scholars – not kings – at least in the ...read more
