Contributed by Jefferson Williams on Sep 22, 2025

If the Israelites were to form a civilized society, they would have make the choice between being givers or takers.

A Return To Civility: 2 Creat No Idols Series

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jul 6, 2024

This message focus on the second commandment as we look at the loss of a mutual morality in today's society.

A couple of weeks ago we began our series “A Return to Civility” and I mentioned how earlier this year I had speculated on what I saw as a loss of civility in our society. We’ve come to a place where we can no longer agree to disagree, and we’ve stopped treating one another with respect, at least ...read more

Age Is Just A Number For God's Design For Marriage. Series

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Apr 28, 2024

In today's society, we often place a lot of emphasis on age and its role in marriage.

We might think that a certain age gap is too big, or that someone is too young or too old to get married. But what does God's Word say about this? In 1 Corinthians 7:2-3, Paul writes, "Each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband." Notice that there's no ...read more

Sodom & Gomorrah Pt. 1: A Byword For Depravity Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Feb 17, 2010

Our society is still as depraved as Sodom and Gomorrah was. Does God still judge with disasters in an effort to wake us up?

Read Matthew 24:3-8. The birth pains have begun my friends. Lloyd gave me these rocks that are from Haiti and as I watched CNN this week, I saw hundreds and thousands of people lying dead and alive underneath much larger pieces of rock from collapsed buildings.

The Place Where We Got Grace Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 22, 2020

Amazing Grace is such a powerful song that even pagans will tear up when they hear it. What is the message in this song that can speak to the hearts of people who don't understand what Jesus did?

OPEN: A very distinguished preacher and 2 of the leaders from his congregation had attended an out of town meeting that didn’t finish until late that night. As they headed home, they were hungry and decided to have something to eat before going home but the only place open was a seedy bar and ...read more

Universal Praise Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 18, 2021

Can a pagan glorify the God of the Bible? If he becomes a believer, he certainly can. This invitation of Psa. 117 is authentic when it says whosoever will may come, and praise the God who is the God of all peoples.

If you think Psalm 117 is a short chapter, you are right, for it is the shortest in all the Bible. But it is twice as long in English as it is in the original Hebrew. It is 33 words in English, but only 17 in the Hebrew. And it is another of the many paradoxes of the Bible, for small as it ...read more

Status Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Feb 25, 2019

Our status as unique children of God – in contrast to unbelievers – carries with it a host of implications.

Status (I John 2:28-3:3) 1. A not-so-bright woman noticed that her coworker has a thermos, so she asks her what it's for. She responds, "It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold." The not-so-bright woman immediately buys one for herself. The next day, she goes to work and proudly ...read more

Letter To The Church At Pergamum Series

Contributed by Shine Thomas on May 18, 2009

We always lose out when we try to compromise with sin. It will consume us in the end. A great mistake a child of God commits is to compromise his/her Christian faith with this world. We often feel biblical principles are tough and rigid and we decide to c

Trapped In Potholes

Contributed by Chris Surber on Sep 10, 2008

Unity should be sought in the local church and in the body of Christ. We must lay aside secondary matters for the cause of Christ.

Trapped In Potholes, Romans 14:1-12 Introduction I recently read the story of a man who, in 2006, was driving along a road in Pune India, a city located in the Maharashtra province of central India.

Understanding Revelation #2 Series

Contributed by C Jordan on Aug 14, 2008

God wants us to understand the message of the Book of Revelation. What significance does what Jesus wrote to these churches in the first century have to our lives today?

REVELATION CHAPTER 2-3: SEVEN LETTERS FROM JESUS TO THE CHURCHES Part #1 “I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet, saying, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last," and, "What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven ...read more

Idolatry Is Not Dead Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 20, 2021

We tend to dismiss idolatry because we think only of those who have visible forms of idols. This is still a part of our world, and it is amazing that people in the modern century have been just as foolish as were the pagans in the days of the prophets.

Does it ever bother you that good things that should happen don't, and bad things that shouldn't happen do? Dr. Larry Crabb whose book Inside Out was a great seller tells of the parents who decided to enroll their 13 year daughter in a Christian school. One of the teachers introduced ...read more
