     | 18,629 views

    Billy Graham used to say: "Salvation is free, but discipleship will cost you everything." That is an accurate expression of the teachings of Jesus on the cost of discipleship. In this sermon, we explore what it means to pay the cost of discipleship.

    A. I like the old classic joke about the chicken and the pig who were talking about going into business. 1. The chicken says: “Hey Pig, we should open a restaurant.” The pig replies: “I’m not sure, what would we call it?” 2. The chicken answers: “What if we called it ‘Ham and Eggs’?” The pig ...read more

    This is part #5 in UNDERSTANDING LOVE. Love is not easily provoked, never irritated, does not fly off the handle, and it is not touchy. Real God love is deep and greatly needed.

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 3, 2025
     | 252 views

    Prophesy to a nation that does not hear, see or obey. That was Jeremiah’s task. The nation had become the generation of His wrath, as ours are today. Judgement is coming. There would be sorrow and death coming, so God said to shave off the hair. God is not mocked – His promise will come.

    We are justified by faith, not by works. God’s grace is freely credited to us.

    It’s been said that more Americans are in debt these days than ever before. Many blame credit cards as the culprit.

     | 3,262 views

    This message is about two tools that our enemy uses against us to keep our focus off things we need to be doing for the Lord. Those tools are diversions and distractions.

    God wants to perform miracles, signs and wonders in the midst of His people. I believe that He has saved the best for these last days, but we will only receive them if we pay the price of preparation.

    In Peter’s life story we have the record of three times when he was off guard, relaxed, asleep. On each occasion there was something that he did not know.

    I Lay Me Down To Sleep Acts 12:6 Sleeping at the wheel is a good way to keep from growing old. The amount of sleep required by the average person is about five minutes more.
