Pentecost Power

Contributed by Brian Williams on May 31, 2023

Jesus loved us so much He came to die for us, to save us, and after His ascension, empower us as His people. Do we believe this, have we experienced this? How often we miss the mark when we attempt to do spiritual work without spiritual power.

Acts 2:1-13 NLT On the day of Pentecost all the believers were meeting together in one place. 2 Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. 3 Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and ...read more

The Victorious Life

Contributed by John Dobbs on May 18, 2023

The book of Romans is like a jigsaw puzzle. It’s not a mysterious puzzle, the overall picture is Jesus. But there are pieces that have to be put together.

_____ Note to preachers: This is the second of a two-sermon presentation. It is an overview of Romans, so it is impossible to spend much time on the many rich details of this great book. I hope in preaching this to encourage people to spend time reading Romans on their own, while being able to ...read more

Pentecost And The Foundation Of The Church

Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Jun 4, 2025

We are called to work for God in the spiritual harvest and as a result we have three responsibilities for the success of the operation. 1. We need to hear what God is saying to us and obey him; 2. we need to ask for power to preach the Gospel; and 3. we need to know our Scripture well.

Corby Glen 08-06-2025 Introduction The fifty days between Passover and Pentecost following Jesus’ Crucifixion must have been incredibly strange time for the 11 remaining apostles (Judas having committed suicide) and the other disciples who had not deserted Jesus. The Jewish inhabitants of ...read more

Acts Of The Apostles # 25 Of 39

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

In this chapter we see something that is of major importance.

Paul had spent eighteen months at Corinth, reasoning with the Jews and planting the seed of Christ's being the Son of God, but had had very little success. He left, and Apollos came behind him, and had tremendous success. This passage reveals that Apollos was successful for two ...read more

#1 Who Am I? My Light Is So Small.

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Feb 21, 2026

Much of the ministry of the Bible has been team work of small people doing what they could, where they could, when they could. What you do matters!

Christ Our Universal King

Contributed by William Baeta on Nov 29, 2000

“Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom the one which shall not be destroyed” Daniel 7:14.

Christ our universal King Text: Daniel 7:9-10, 13-14; Rev. 1:4b-8; John 18:33-37 There are not many kingdoms in the world today and the kings of the remaining few have lost practically all the power and authority that kings used to have.

God’s Love for us is an active love. We are to actively love one another in reponse to His grace.

John 15:9-17 Anne and I are learning about love. It’s not that we don’t love each other, we really do. But we’re learning about a different kind of love. The kind of love Killian is teaching us.

The Goat That Got Away

Contributed by Darryl Klassen on Mar 28, 2007

Part of an Easter series this sermon looks at the OT foreshadows of the cross. In this sermon the scapegoat analogy is applied to Jesus.

THE GOAT THAT GOT AWAY Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to blame all your troubles on someone else? You know, when you fail at some project, pass the blame off on someone who caused you to mess up. Maybe you do that anyways. The truth is we all do that at some point. Some psychologists will ...read more

Easter - At The Tomb

Contributed by Melvin Newland on May 6, 2015

I want us to put ourselves in the sandals of the disciples. For some that will be easy because despair is not foreign to you. Bur for others, that may be more difficult because . . .

MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (REVISED: 2017) TEXT: Matthew 27:57-66 The disciples must have been devastated. They had been inspired by His teachings. And they had decided to follow Him. It had not been an easy road, but they had willingly left families, homes, & ...read more

Consider The True Glory Of Our King!

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Oct 23, 2023

In His "state of humiliation" as theologians say, Jesus' glory was most deeply hidden! Through these verses from Colossians we are invited to see the true glory of King Jesus!

“Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” All four of the Gospel writers (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) tell us about the written notice of the charge against Jesus—and for which Pontius Pilate crucified him. It’s a small but important detail from the Friday that we call good. Does anyone ...read more

It Never Crossed His Mind Again

Contributed by Russell (Rusty) Pruitt on Jul 15, 2024

Although Jesus was and is fully God, He was and is fully man. He can feel what we feel because, as the Word says, He was “…in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin” (Heb. 4:15). We are going to look at how His faith was tested, but He did not sin – not even one time.

IT NEVER CROSSED HIS MIND AGAIN TEXT: HEBREWS 12:1-3 INTRODUCTION: We are told to “consider” Jesus, Who “endured the cross” and despised “the shame.” He endured the shame because of, “the joy that was set before Him.” He is the beginner and finisher of our faith. He walked the way of faith first ...read more

Kingdom Collision Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023

As followers of Jesus, we face a daily choice between living for the kingdom of culture or the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God brings love, grace, and hope, while the kingdom of culture often focuses on power and control.

Today, we're going to talk about a cool story from the Bible that has a lot to do with the choices we make every day. It's about two kingdoms colliding and the tough decisions that come with it. So, let's dive in! Our story comes from John 18:28-39. It's about Jesus being brought before Pontius ...read more
