    Esther is a great study in God’s hand to save his people. He uses events of history and people he choses to fulfill his will. What’s his plan for you?

    The canonization of Esther in the Holy Scriptures has been a hotly debated topic for centuries. While Esther tells of a historic event in the life of God‘s people, it never once mentions God’s name. For all practical purposes Esther is in the Bible to explain the origin of the Jewish celebration ...read more

    The Prayer Of Antioch

     | 21,312 views

    The prayer of Antioch got God’s attention in a big way, but we’re not told what they prayed. What can this unique prayer teach us?

    OPEN: A 5-yr-old said grace at family dinner one night. "Dear God, thank you for these pancakes." When he finished his prayer, his parents looked curiously at him and asked him why he thanked God for pancakes when they were having chicken. He smiled and said, "I thought I’d see if He was ...read more

    What Will You Do With The Gospel?

    Contributed by Jonathan Mcleod on Jul 22, 2001
    based on 95 ratings
     | 7,443 views

    The gospel produces a burden, produces boldness, produces confidence, reveals God’s righteousness, and reveals God’s wrath.

    No other portion of Holy Scripture so completely sets forth the great doctrines of the Christian faith as does Paul’s Epistle to the Romans. No other product of the pen has ever more powerfully confronted the mind of man with the great truths of God. All of man’s alibis, all of his pretenses, ...read more

    An Extravagant Gesture

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 10, 2001
    based on 81 ratings
     | 10,060 views

    Extravagant gestures are an appropriate - even necessary - expression of love.

    Do you know how much it cost? $15,000, that’s how much. And that’s just for the perfume! The bottle she broke was worth nearly that much on its own. I can’t see why Jesus was so upset with us for complaining about the waste. I mean, I saw his point later on, but how could we have known then? ...read more

    A sermon for the 7th Sunday after Pentecost Mary Martha

    7th Sunday after Pentecost Proper 11 Luke 10:38-42 What would you do if when you left church this morning and upon arriving home found out Jesus was waiting at your door? Would you invite him in? Probably you would. Then the man of the house would try to make him feel at home, and most likely the ...read more

     | 3,078 views

    There are times when we do not know what to pray. Paul gives us an example of what to pray at those or any time.

    A Prayer You can Always Pray Ephesians 1:15-17 S. I. C. C. August 5, 2001 (Morning Service) I would have liked to have seen Paul’s prayer list. It must have been a douse. I am sure he prayed for all the churches he started and for the ones he had heard about and acquired an affinity ...read more

    This message is encouraging young people to avoid living life on the edge of destruction by using biblical characters as a reference.

    Text: Matthew 26.14-16, 26.49-50 A kiss: a symbol of love and affection. A kiss on the cheek in these bible times was a symbol of friendship and affection. I want you to hold your kiss (hersheys kiss candy)till later for me, but what is that causes a man who has seen the intimate details of ...read more

    Maintaining Family Series

    As we conclude our series on our church covenant we need to understand what it means to actually support our church family.

    It still amazes me, almost 25% of all marriages will end in divorce. That means one out of four marriage covenants will be broken, tossed to the sidelines and forgotten. Families will be torn apart. Interesting is the typical reasons given for ignoring the marriage covenant. communication ...read more

     | 3,162 views

    In light of the tragedy in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania the prevailing question seems to be "how could this happen?"

    In Tom Clancey?s great novel Debt of Honor his primary character, Jack Ryan, has become first the Vice President of our country and then later the President. He became President as a result of a terrorist attack on Washington D. C. Throughout most of the book a plot was working where at least some ...read more

    A message addressing the reality of hell.

    It Makes No Sense! A Message on Hell 1. As real as the Bible’s teaching on Heaven is, is its teachings on Hell. It is not a popular subject, and not a popular place. It is as negative a teaching as found in Scripture, and as emphatic as any truth in the Bible. ...read more

     | 10,725 views

    Second in a series of sermons based on Hebrews 11. Abel’s sacrifce is lauded not because of its content as much as the faith it took to give it to God.

    Grace and peace to you from God our Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. The text for tonight’s proclamation is taken from the Epistle, Hebrews 11:4; By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as a righteous man, when God spoke well of ...read more

    Part two of the series, Keys to Revival

    Last week I began a series of messages on Key’s to Revival. It may seem strange that I’m sharing about revival with a group of Believers that are faithful. But you are exactly the ones that I need to pour this message into. Revival will always be birthed by someone who cares. If no one cares ...read more
