     | 2,000 views

    Ephesians 4 says that there is one baptism, but the New Testament mentions six different baptisms. Which is the one baptism that saves and unites?

    A. The story is told of a preacher who had just started serving with a new congregation and for eight Sundays in a row, he preached about baptism. 1. The elders were growing tired of hearing about baptism and decided to assign the preacher a text for the next Sunday that would hopefully result in a ...read more

    Zechariah's Second Vision Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Nov 1, 2021
     | 4,650 views

    Message focuses on the sovereignty of God, divine retribution on nations that oppress God's people, and God's vindication of his elect. This word of comfort and assurance has timeless application for God's people of all ages.

    Life is not fair! The godly suffer unjustly, and the wicked seem to get away with their evil deeds. Unbelievers point to all the pain and suffering in the world and defiantly say, “If God is a just, loving God, why does he allow war? Why does he allow disease and famine? Where was he during the ...read more

     | 2,777 views

    The focus of this sermon is the Resurrection of Jesus from Paul's perspective and his view that the resurrection is it is not simply a historical event to be remembered, but an on-going truth and power that should be embraced.

    (Scripture read from Philippians 3:7-11.) Good morning. Happy Easter! He is risen! Amen. Glory. How many of you happened to attend the Easter egg hunt that was here yesterday?

    “Paul,” calls himself “the prisoner of Jesus Christ;” that is, a prisoner in the service of the Lord Jesus; or made a prisoner for His cause. Not a prisoner for crime or debt, or as a captive in war, but a captive in the service of the Redeemer.

    Pray For Justice Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Jun 2, 2018
     | 4,001 views

    While Scripture reveals that God is loving, merciful, and gracious—a savior of repentant sinners, one truth about Him that is decidedly unpopular today is that He is a God of vengeance against those who reject Him and salvation in His Son.

    Observing common perceptions, it has been said that God created humanity in His image and humanity has returned the favor. People have created gods in whatever form pleases them to accommodate their sinful lifestyles. God rebuked such foolish people in Psalm 50:21: “You thought that I was just like ...read more

    "It Is Good For Me That I Have Been Afflicted..."

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 11, 2025
     | 348 views

    I have taken the title of this sermon from my text In Psalm 119:71. In which we read, “It is good for me that I have been afflicted..." Now what rational man would say such a thing? “It is good for me that I have been afflicted..."

    Paul basically said such a thing also in a different way in Romans 8:28 and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. “ALL THINGS” includes the good and the bad. But it is difficult sometimes to understand IT IS GOOD ...read more
