An Invitation To Healing (Bonus Week) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 25, 2022

God gave most of this message to me while I was at work. I took dictation, basically, for 45 minutes, and then tried to fill in gaps without messing it up. Bottom line: God will heal you.

Brothers and sisters, understand today that I am in no way criticizing you, or condemning you, or judging you. I want to help you. There is no more obvious sign of the church's weakness and lack of faith than the chronic sickness and disease found in so many of its members. Even just among ...read more

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 23, 2022

HE OPENED MY EYES. John 9:26-41. JOHN 9:26-28. The Pharisees again asked the man born blind HOW Jesus had opened his eyes.

Insatiable Craving Series

Contributed by Fred Sigle on May 20, 2024

A study of the Beatitudes. Jesus begins His sermon on the mount answering the question: "What will it take to make you happy?" His answer, however, is far different from the way most people will answer. In fact, his answers appear to bring sorrow, not happiness.

PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS: INSATIABLE CRAVING ILLUSTRATION: Can you believe that next year will mark 20-years since Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans? We all saw the news stories—the DESTRUCTION, the DEATH TOLL, the HUMAN AGONY and MISERY. Hurricane Katrina is the COSTLIEST natural ...read more

Contributed by David Owens on Sep 6, 2022

Christ The True Bread Of Life Series

Contributed by Grant Adams on Jan 11, 2025

John 6:35, "And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger..." Are you hungry? Jesus will satisfy that spiritual hunger.

In chapter 5, we saw Jesus go after the multitudes. In chapter 6, we see the multitudes go after Jesus. He is made known as the object of their desire and as the only one who can meet the sinner’s need. The impotent man evidenced no desire for the savior. He portrayed the natural man. Dead ...read more

The Right Focus Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 9, 2015

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jul 10, 2023

These four thousand people have probably been eating what little they had with them when they began following Jesus, which probably wasn’t much. They may have found sources of water along the way. But they’re now in a predicament.

“Oh why didn’t I listen!?" The rich man cries out from the depths of hell, to this very day in 2023. He needed salvation dearly but could not see it. And he looked and saw Lazarus, comforted, in paradise. The rich man in sorrows, why didn’t he listen? He was rich, he was powerful, he did not ...read more

Let's Be Spiritually Fit !

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Jan 20, 2006

A short homily for some elderly Christians living in sheltered accomodation. I don’t think I took on board the right amount of spiritual food over the Christmas and New Year period. God is challenging me (and perhaps you!) to be spiritually fit.

A lot can happen in a year! A lot can and will happen during this next year. As I look back over the last year I realise that so much has happened and so much has changed: †My two boys have started new schools. †My daughter has begun pre-school. †My sister got married. †My Granddad died. †My ...read more
