     | 718 views

    We have looked at our REDEMPTION, and praise the Lord for this. In this message we will look at our REVELATION. (And, in the following message we will look at our REWARDS.)

    In verse 3 we are told that God wants to bless us. Then Paul gives us a grocery list of things in the next few verses that God has blessed us with. Illus: One of the biggest days of the church year should be Thanksgiving Day. Why? It is obvious. Because we all have so much to be thankful ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 29, 2022
     | 2,177 views

    This is a real Psalm of praise and worship but that does not come from contaminated vessels. It is a Psalm to the King of the earth. It is a delightful Psalm but it challenges our lives.

    Several years ago, a very popular song that made the top ten list of favorites among many Americans was called, “Don’t worry…Be happy!”

    It was sung by Bobby McFerin and the words go like this: “Don't worry, be happy In every life we have some trouble But when you worry you make it double Don't worry, be happy Don't worry, be happy now” “Don't worry, be happy Don't worry, be happy Don't worry, be ...read more

     | 1,135 views

    We want to look again at the importance of following good examples.

    We understand the importance, as Christians, of not following the many bad examples that many lost people display in their lives, but NEW CONVERTS do not hear much, or see much, about following the good examples the Bible tells about and the stories of great Christians through the years have set ...read more

    Preaching From Philippians (1 Of 8)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 31, 2022
     | 1,854 views

    In Paul’s writings, his greetings varied from church to church. He made the greetings fit the church he was addressing and the things he wanted to talk about.

    For example, when he wrote to the Corinthians he stated that he was an Apostle in his greetings. Look at 1 Cor. 1:1 “Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother.” He did not mention that he was an Apostle in his address to the Philippians! He ...read more

    When you look at churches, you will see that there is a vast difference between them.

    One thing you will find common in most churches it that there is one basic thing missing. WHAT IS MISSING? Illus: Let me explain what is missing by telling you a story of a young boy who went to spend the week with his grandfather on the farm. • While walking around he noticed the chickens. They ...read more

    A salesman was telling some folks he got a job as a salesman.

    They provided him with a kit where he could go into people’s homes with products and show them some of the products this company sold. Basically this is what the Lord Jesus has done.

    The British Railways were looking for a way to test locomotive windshields when they heard about an unusual test cannon that The British Airways had used to test their windshields.

    This cannon fired birds, with great force, into the windshields of passenger jets to insure designs and materials were up to par. They were glad to let the railway borrow their cannon to test the train windshields. Just before the test run, British Railways sent someone out to buy a dead chicken ...read more

     | 10,609 views

    Many people have expectations of what God can do for them. But that's not how it works. We were saved to do things for Him. Why?

    I’ve been told that when people come to God –– they have certain expectations. They have certain opinions of what they think God should DO for them. They visualize a God who is going to do what they want done. ILLUS: A woman named Donna had a conversation with her 4 year old niece. The little ...read more

    40 days had passed after the Resurrection and Jesus had been teaching His disciples. Now it was time to depart this scene in the Ascension. We are looking at various aspects of the Ascension and His coming again. It was an interesting time.

    THE ASCENSION ENDS THE MOMENTOUS EASTER PERIOD – EXPLAINING THE ASCENSION [A]. THE INTRODUCTION FOR OUR MESSAGE TODAY ON THE ASCENSION The days after the Lord’s resurrection were understandably happy ones for the disciples, probably tinged with uncertainty. They were not sure what was ahead. ...read more

    Are You Related To Jesus?

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on May 12, 2024
     | 920 views

    The words that Jesus spoke as recorded in our text for today sound quite strange and may be strange for a Mother's Day sermon. Somehow it seems out of character for Jesus to say what He did. But He had a purpose.

    Alba 5-12-2024 ARE YOU REATED TO JESUS? Mark 3:31-35 Mother’s Day is a special time for us to honor mothers. That is a good thing to do. And hopefully, we honor them all year long, not just on this holiday. Sadly, many of us do not realize how good our mother was until she has passed on and ...read more
