    The Key To Heaven: Christ's Sacrifice Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 29, 2021
     | 2,927 views

    What was the Old Covenant really all about? Did the Old Testament sacrificial system really take away sins? Why isn't Judaism also a way to be right with God? Hebrews 9:1-14 settles these issues, once and for all.

    This last year has been a revelation—a revelation about how you deal with a very contagious and infectious virus that has impacted the entire world and killed millions of people. The big question this past year has been this: How do you stop the virus? How do you prevent it’s spread? How do ...read more

    based on 9 ratings
     | 15,319 views

    Today, I will attempt to show you how often, and in how many ways men try to find a cure for what ails them, rather than take the only treatment that will work, to take the case to God.

    Show Me That Our God Is In The Camp And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore. (1 Samuel 4:7) The Prince of Preachers had a sermon with a similar name: "Is God In The Camp?" Charles ...read more

     | 3,828 views

    God wants to take us to another level in Him. Behold I stand at the door and knock. If any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Are you ready to go from religiosity and tradition to relationship.

    “Prepare the Passover” Subtopic: “Prepare Your Heart” By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. Prelude: - There are 2 sides to every story, there are 2 sides of a coin, 2 sides of the street. Well, when it comes to the Word of God there are 2 sides as well, there’s the natural and the spiritual. 1 ...read more

    Who's your boss? Some denigrate God by calling Him "the man upstairs" or some other such nonsense. he is the Holy God of Israel. He is our Savior and Redeemer. He revealed Himself to us through Jesus Christ. Let's revere Him for who He is...THE Creat

    Exodus 20:1-3 Who’s the Boss? As I prepared this series, I realized how little we actually preach the Ten Commandments as if they are neither important nor relevant. They are both. It was very enlightening to me to preach through the Ten Commandments. I trust this series will encourage ...read more

    Living Like An Alien

    Contributed by Jonathan Russell on Nov 1, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,750 views

    Using Judah in the Old Testament as an example, this message explains how God's people are to live as "aliens" in this world while we await the return of Christ and eternity in our true, eternal kingdom.

    INTRODUCTION * A hot topic in politics: illegal immigration = “aliens” - a resident born in or belonging to another country - a foreigner; unlike one’s own / strange or difference * We, as God’s people, are aliens in a spiritual sense (not new: the people of God in the OT ...read more

    We will be judged on our service to the poor--but do our social systems make it easy or difficult to do so?

    Thursday of 33rd week in course 2015 Joy of the Gospel Two things tie our Scriptures together today. The obvious one is that they are texts written in or about a time of injustice and disaster.

    Are we offended by the real Jesus?

    Was John the Baptist offended by Jesus? If He walked the earth today would we be offended by Him? Let’s examine the real Jesus and being offended at Jesus in Matthew 11:2-11. Are You the One? And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples and said to ...read more

    Paul concludes his Epistle by summarizing his arguments and by glorying in the Cross, which makes us free.

    Free at last! Galatians is all about freedom…but if we’re not careful we can abuse it. Freedom is not a license to sin. Nor is it a lack of responsibility. New Hampshire’s motto is “Live free or die.” Our motto as Christians should be “Live holy or ...read more

    Ok God, What Do You Want From Me?

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Sep 20, 2025
     | 297 views

    Religion can sometimes be seen as a system of laws or rules designed to please God, but that is not what God wants. God wants a loving relationship with His Children, and that we follow His commands because we Love Him! Micah 6 and Galatians 5 help us to see the difference between Love and Legalism.

    Good Morning. This morning, we have 2 excellent lessons intended to guide God’s people back on track from bad mindsets. Micah 6 begins in a heavenly courtroom. All of creation, the mountains and hills, are poetically called in as a jury to witnesses God’s case against His people. Israel has lost ...read more
