    Our Common Salvation And Contending Earnestly For The Faith - Jude 1 Verse 3 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 10, 2022
     | 2,738 views

    Jude was setting out the points of our common salvation, when the Holy Spirit urged on him the importance and urgency to defend that salvation. That overtook him, and he asked the readers to “contend earnestly” for the faith. He appealed to them to do that.

    OUR COMMON SALVATION AND CONTENDING EARNESTLY FOR THE FAITH - Jude 1 verse 3 MESSAGES IN JUDE – MESSAGE 2 Jude 1 v 3 {{Jude 1:3 “Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you, appealing that you con-tend earnestly for ...read more

    based on 32 ratings
     | 51,117 views

    Jesus prays that the Father will protect us. But how does the God do that? How does God guard us and shield us when we live so exposed to the temptations and lusts of this world?

    OPEN: Down in Kentucky, our nation has a very special place designed to protect our gold supply. Do you know what it’s called? (Fort Knox). That’s where our nation keeps most of our gold. But more than gold has been stored there over the years. Ft. Knox has also held the Magna Carta, ...read more

     | 25,652 views

    There are many people who are uncomfortable with the idea that God sends people to hell. Does He? And if He does, what kind of people does He send there?

    OPEN: Calvin Coolidge was known for his dry wit and the fact that virtually nothing seemed to upset him or disturb him. Before Coolidge became President of the United States, he was a senator in the Massachusetts State Senate. Apparently one of Coolidge’s responsibilities was to decide which ...read more

     | 963 views

    Are you feeling guilty and unforgiven even though you are a believer? Read on to understand how we have been made righteous through Christ and now stand justified before God.

    Today’s meditation is based on Numbers 23:21, “God saw no wrong in Jacob's people. He saw no sin in the Israelites. The LORD is their God, and he is with them. The Great King is with them!” (ERV) Just as the children of Israel progressed, and moved towards the Promised Land, we too as children ...read more

    The Bad Judge Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 2, 2014
    based on 25 ratings
     | 28,237 views

    God dedicated 57 verses to a wicked judge who ruled as king in Israel for about 3 years. Why would He do that? Is it possible the story of this evil man has something to us about how we should think as Christians?

    OPEN: In Clay County, Kentucky there was a judge named R. Cletus Maricle. He was one of the rare judges I could find online who had been permanently disbarred. You might ask: “Jeff, why was he disbarred?” I’m glad you asked. R. Cletus Maricle was disbarred because he and 7 other ...read more

    based on 16 ratings
     | 27,286 views

    Nakedness is equated with sin in Scripture and Adam and Eve tried covering their nakedness with fig leaves. Do we do the same? And, if so, how successful can we be at doing that?

    The true story is told of a banquet where a famous religious leader found himself seated next to an extremely beautiful woman who was wearing a gown with a perilously low neckline. He introduced himself to her… and then offered her an apple. She was a little surprised, but he explained ...read more

    So God CREATED Human in His own IMAGE. In other words, we HUMAN, have the ABILITY to KNOW THINGS, to make DESCISIONS, and to DISCERN the PURPOSE and PLAN of God. So we can learn to UNDERSTAND His COUNSEL, His PLAN. As we GROW in the KNOWLEDGE of God, He

    John 3:16 Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Apr 23, 2024
     | 3,119 views

    When John wrote these words, Jews would have thought God would love only the righteous. But the Bible doesn’t say God loves good-looking people. The Bible doesn’t say God loves rich and successful people.

    Think with me about some of the most famous sayings in history. Martin Luther King Jr said famously, “I have a dream…” John Fitzgerald Kennedy said, “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.” Perhaps there is no more famous sentence anywhere than John ...read more

    Miracles For Moses Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 31, 2021
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,634 views

    God gave Moses 3 miracles to convince the Israelites God had sent him. But these miracles seem (to me) to be fairly unimpressive - a little like "parlor tricks." Why would God ask Moses to use them to convince the Elders of Israel that God had sent him?

    (Sing) “I believe for every drop of rain that falls, a flower grows. I believe that somewhere in the darkest night, a candle glows. I believe for everyone who goes astray, someone will come to show the way. I believe, I believe. I believe above the storm the smallest pray'r will still be heard. ...read more

    15. Romans Chapter 4 Verses 4-12 - Messages In Romans – The Faith Of Abraham Reckoned As Righteousness Leading To Blessing (Us Too!) - Message 15 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 6, 2024
     | 831 views

    This lovely passage examines the faith that is for Jew and Gentile. Faith will reckon one as righteous and that follows in Abraham’s footsteps. There is no sin penalty on the account on the one who believes in the Saviour and whose sins are forgiven.

    15. ROMANS CHAPTER 4 VERSES 4-12 - MESSAGES IN ROMANS – THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM RECKONED AS RIGHTEOUSNESS LEADING TO BLESSING (US TOO!) - MESSAGE 15 [A].

    based on 3 ratings
     | 23,946 views

    The story in Acts 8, that tells of Philip's preaching in Samaria resulting in an Evangelism Explosion, contains 3 puzzles that many folks overlook. What are these puzzles and what can they teach us about our walk with Christ?

    OPEN: People have created puzzles for centuries. There’ve been crossword puzzles, jigsaw puzzles, Rubik's cube, and scads of others in all shapes and sizes. The better the puzzle, the more difficult it is to solve, and by that standard, one of the Holy Grails of such puzzles is this one: ...read more

    Acts 1 tells about three promises that are better than any other promise found in Scripture. Do you know what those promises are? And do you know why they are so important to us?

    OPEN: I’d like you to stand with me as we sing this great Hymn: “Standing on the Promises.” Sing with me: “Standing on the promises that cannot fail When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail, By the living Word of God I shall prevail Standing on the promises of God.

     | 29,323 views

    In his instructions of the role of older women, God tells us what he really thinks about the role of women in the church.

    As I read the text at the beginning of the sermon I asked the audience to pay special attention to the instructions Titus received in what he was to teach each specific group in this passage - Titus 2:1-10). Have you ever seen a child with lots of freckles on their face? I read the story about ...read more

    The world paints those who oppose immoral sex as being prudes and bigots. It's hard to withstand the humiliation and embarrassment that we can face when we speak up. So why should we? And how should we stand for morality in a faithless world?

    Years ago I heard a famous radio preacher tell of an experience he had while doing a seminar in a large city. After he had gotten done speaking he returned to his hotel, got on the elevator, and as he touched the button of his floor, a couple of very attractive women got on with him. "What ...read more
