    Love For The Undeserving Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 4, 2023
    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,199 views

    Why on earth would God have Hosea marry a prostitute? Was it merely a parable or a dream we're being told about? Or was this a real life harlot who God used for a lesson for Israel?

    In 1990, there was a romantic comedy that hit big screen called “Pretty Woman”. It was marketed as a modern update of the story of Cinderella. Richard Gere played an unscrupulous businessman who was on a business trip and - on a lark - he picks up a hooker – played by Julia Roberts. As the ...read more

    How did Joseph become a member of the Sanhedrin and ultimately become a secret follower of Jesus? This first person presentation explores one possible explanation.

    (I entered the auditorium from the side entrance to our baptistery – reading a scroll and entranced in thought. Much of the message was presented on floor level with me standing close to the audience and speaking directly to them) (Looking up, a bit surprised) Oh… shalom. I am afraid I am a bit ...read more

    What The World Needs Now Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 31, 2021
     | 3,707 views

    What the World Needs Now "is love, sweet, love." But what does that kind of love look like, especially in the context of the great sin? Jesus provides us with a powerful lesson about the kind of love we need to receive and offer to others.

    Most of us here are familiar with that hit song written by Burt Bacharach, “What the World Needs Now.” And of course, as bad as I am with notes, I’m even worse with lyrics, but in this case, I do remember the next few words—“Is love, sweet, love.” And admittedly, the song strikes a chord with ...read more

    Persecution - Are You Ready For It?

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jan 9, 2021
     | 2,885 views

    We in America do not have any real experience with religious persecution like we find in other countries. However, over the past decades we have seen reverence for the name of Jesus become mockery. What will we do when proclaiming Jesus becomes outlawed?

    Persecution - Are You Ready For It? Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Psalm 1:1-2 “Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.

    God Loves To Extend Mercy And Forgiveness

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jan 31, 2023
     | 2,575 views

    The message examines the story of the woman caught in adultery in a somewhat narrative form.

    In Matthew 9:13, Jesus says, “I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." Mercy is a word that many Christians fail to truly understand its depth and significance and how the withholding of it can impact a person’s life. In the ...read more

    Sermon # 27 - Heed God's Warnings Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 352 views

    God’s message through the Prophet Jonah was one of warning to the people of Nineveh to repent of their sinful ways. The call of God all through the bible is for people to repent and turn back to Him. Genuine repentance alone can bring genuine change that will please God and bless others.

    We read in Jonah 3:3-4, “So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city, of three days' journey. And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be ...read more

    I can worship God anywhere... but Psalm 100 talks about "going someplace" to worship. Where should I "go" to worship, and how and why should I worship?

    I read the story about a couple named Mary and Jim and their dog 'Lucky.' Lucky was an unusual dog. Whenever company come for a weekend visit Mary and Jim had to warn their friends to not leave their luggage open because Lucky would help himself to whatever struck his fancy.

    Psalm 118 prophesied a cornerstone that the builders would reject.That cornerstone was Jesus - but why was He rejected... and how can avoid the same mistake?

    The year was 1793 and there was a huge ceremony held in Washington D.C.. President George Washington laid the Cornerstone for the new Capitol building.

    The Lord Jesus Christ is The True Shepherd of the sheep. He came as The Seeking Shepherd who would die for the sins of the world. Each one He seeks and saves, He then adds that one to His sheepfold where he cares for them all and leads them in love.

    “I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD” – HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE - John 10 – PART 1 [A].

     | 107,162 views

    Christians have been taught that the tithe is a "spiritual bill" they must pay in order to keep the "windows of heaven" open. Is it possible that this passage is being used to teach something that it does not teach?

    As a child, before my brothers and sisters and I would sit down for breakfast, we asked our father what we could do to please him so that he would let us eat. He’d tell us.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 9,081 views

    This lie promotes the idea that we are destined to be who we are. You feel trapped in whatever sin you may be engaged in and you believe you'll never change. But God says, "No, that's not true. You may feel you were born that way, but God says you must be 'born again.'"
