    Jephthah = Rejection – Victory – And Disaster - All In The One Cup - Part 1 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 6, 2022
     | 2,775 views

    Illegitimate, rejected, expelled, Jephthah became a recognised warrior. The ones who ill-treated him crawled to him for help against the Ammonites who were invading the country. There is much of human nature playing out in this account. We examine that. PART 1 of two parts.

    JEPHTHAH = REJECTION – VICTORY – AND DISASTER - ALL IN THE ONE CUP - PART 1 There is a lot of scripture in this message. I have put that in the message for SERMONCENTRAL as it is easier to read in text. THE INTRODUCTION – LEADERLESS IN A DISMAL TIME {{Judges 10:17-18 Then the sons of Ammon ...read more

    The Wonder Of Jesus Accepting Us Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 10, 2013
    based on 105 ratings
     | 30,802 views

    It’s become fashionable for churches to "target" a specific audience in their messages and ministry. But is that really such a good idea? Is it possible that in targeting specific groups we might be undermining our real ministry?

    OPEN: In my files I ran across these nuggets of wisdom from little children: Patrick, age 10 - "Never trust a dog to watch your food." Hannah, age 9 - "When your dad is mad and asks you, ’Do I look stupid?’ don’t answer." Taylia, age 11 - "When your mom is mad at your dad, don’t let her brush ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,291 views

    We have 2 advantages over non-Christians. Because of God's blessings in our lives, we are better off than many in this world, but we must be careful not to see ourselves as being "better" than others.

    For the next few weeks we’re going to be focusing on what can we learn from Scripture as it applies to a popular new TV series (now entering its 3rd season) called “This Is Us”. It’s been nominated for 8 Emmys because of the power of its writing and its acting, and it has literally brought many of ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 15,115 views

    What did Jesus mean when He told Nicodemus "You must be born again"? And what does His comment about being "born of the water and the Spirit" mean to us today?

    OPEN: A man was obviously lost. He saw a little boy was standing by the side of a road and a and pulled up beside him. “Sonny,” he said, “do you know how to get to town?” The kid said, “No sir, I don’t.” Then the man said, “Well do you know the way to route 20?” The little boy said, “No.” And the ...read more

    based on 16 ratings
     | 35,764 views

    How does the gift of teaching help the church? And does that mean that if we don't have this gift that we don't have to teach?

    Little Johnny wasn't getting good marks in school. One day he came up to the teacher’s desk and looked like he wanted to say something. “Yes Johnny” the teacher said. “Is there something you want?” Very quietly he said, "I don't want to scare you, but my daddy says ...read more

    "Fat” Is Where It’s At

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Aug 19, 2019
     | 9,398 views

    We need to feast on the Word of God much more than we do.

    “Fat” is where it’s at! The state of Missouri is known as the “Show Me” state. The phrase, “Show Me,” was coined in 1899 by then Congressman Willard Duncan Vandiver while delivering a speech in Philadelphia. “I come from a state,” he said, “that raises corn and cotton, and cockleburs and ...read more

    Standing In The Gap Series

    based on 10 ratings
     | 30,005 views

    The first 3 chapters of Revelation have often been seen as separate from the rest of the book. But that doesn't make any sense. Why would Jesus spend 3 chapters on local churches who were not part of the rest of the story?

    OPEN: This morning I’m going to teach you a little about something that’s called “Hermeneutics”. Hermeneutics is the description of how to read and understand your Bible. When I was in Bible College I had a professor who told us that whenever the Bible had a lot to say on a ...read more

    based on 34 ratings
     | 15,094 views

    To establish that Saul of Tarsus’ conversion followed the New Testament’s “pattern of conversion,” as depicted in the Book of Acts. This lesson dispels the false notion that Saul was saved on the road to Damascus rather than in the city three days later.

    INTRODUCTION Outline. 1. Saul's Clash with Christ 2. Saul's Call by Christ 3. Saul's Conversion to Christ Introductory Remarks. 1. Today's lesson will discuss the theme: "Saul of Tarsus' Conversion." What will be evident in this lesson is that Saul's conversion ...read more

    A Hill To Die On Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 20, 2016
    based on 18 ratings
     | 35,848 views

    Why wasn't Moses allowed into the Promised Land? The short answer is: he sinned, but somehow that doesn't seem quite fair. He was one of the greatest and meekest men in Scripture. Is there something more about God's decision that we need to know?

    I love to read and a few weeks ago I ran across a word quiz from a non-Christian publication that – at first – angered me. I thought they were making fun of Christianity. But once I read the answer to the quiz I realized not only were they NOT doing that, but in fact someone had ...read more

    INTRODUCTION Outline. 1. His Eternal Pre-existence 2. His Everlasting Presence 3. His Endless Provisions Remarks. 1.

    The Law Of Moses Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 18, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,245 views

    Was the Mosaic law good or bad? Why did God give it to Israel, and what part did it play for His people?

    OPEN: Why do laws exist? Why do we have them? I thought about that a lot this week…and this was my conclusion: “Laws exist to modify behavior and to help us know what is acceptable and what isn’t.” Now, if that’s true, why were these laws written? In Michigan it is illegal to paint sparrows to ...read more

    Message 16 - 1 Thessalonians Chapter 5:21 – Examine Carefully And Hold Fast To What Is Good – No Excuses! Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 7, 2023
     | 2,625 views

    We live in a world today where all the boundaries have been blurred and are increasingly, becoming blurred. We have no fixed point for marriage, no correct lines for morality, no division of good or bad in gender or behaviour or attitudes. We examine what GOOD is. Do good to all.

    MESSAGE 16 - 1 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 5:21 – EXAMINE CAREFULLY AND HOLD FAST TO WHAT IS GOOD – NO EXCUSES! {{1Thessalonians 5:21 “but examine everything carefully. HOLD FAST TO THAT WHICH IS GOOD.”}} [A]. THE INTRODUCTION When we consider this short instruction, two questions may come into ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 29, 2023
     | 1,606 views

    What if we had simply 3 Gospel writers, or just 2 of them, or only one Gospel writer? This study looks at each of the 4 Gospels – composition, style and harmony. Faces and branches of the Old Testament confirm the 4 Gospels. I hope you find this interesting. What the Gospels focus on.

    THE GOSPEL WRITERS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT – DO WE REALLY NEED 4 OF THEM? What if we had simply 3 gospel writers, or just 2 of them, or only one gospel writer? What if Matthew was the only Gospel we had in the bible? Would that change our understanding of scripture? More importantly, would that ...read more
