    I realize that this text is a very common text, is preached often. yet how many of us stay in the fight to finish it, can we say that we have truly finished the race,

    TO KEEP, TO CLIMB, TO FIGHT (So, to understand the text, we need to know that Paul and Timothy were speaking to each other as student and teacher with Paul trying to inspire and encourage but with warnings.) Turn with me to 2 Timothy 4:1-7. I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus ...read more

     | 2,363 views

    Peter faced a challenge after he had preached the Gospel to Cornelius. This first section of Acts 11 gives his answer to the charges against him. Good things happened at the end, though!

    Introduction: This first section of Acts 11, verses 1-18, describes Peter’s response to those who were upset he had eaten with Gentiles. This would certainly be Cornelius’ household in Caesarea (see Acts 10), but the Jews in Judea didn’t have all the facts. Peter gave a step by step account of what ...read more

    Spiritual Dumbness Series

    Contributed by James Dina on Jan 4, 2022
     | 4,096 views

    No people make such good preachers as those who were once dumb. If the Lord opens their mouths, they will think they cannot preach often enough, and earnestly enough, to make up for the mischief they did before.

    SPIRITUAL DUMBNESS “And they bring unto him one that was deaf and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him. And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue; And looking up to heaven, he sighed, ...read more

    Fixed With Gold

     | 4,105 views

    This thought is a work in progress. I have been meditating on how the Japanese art of repairing pottery with gold displays the gospel. I'm sure I will preach this thought again and better.

    Fixed With Gold In our home there are a few dishes that are highly prized. They have value to us because of the giver. There are a couple of glasses that were gifts from my father-in-law to my mother-in-law. There are stories behind them. There is a candy dish Sister Burnett gave us recently. ...read more

    Pack Your Pew

     | 2,780 views

    This message was preached for our "Pack Your Pew" Sunday with the emphasis of why coming/going to church was important. One of my emphases was that coming here is not nearly as important as going somewhere.

    PACK YOUR PEW Why Do I Need To Go To Church Anyway? Hebrews 10:25 OPENING ILLUSTRATION: This story deals with a rather old fashioned lady, who was planning a couple of weeks vacation in Florida. She also was quite delicate and elegant with her language. She wrote a letter to a particular ...read more

    Candyman Or Doctor? Who Are You Looking For?

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Oct 20, 2024
     | 364 views

    Jesus travels to Galilee and is greeted enthusiastically. However the Greeting is only with the hope of a great show, as those who he comes to preach to only want to see signs and wonders, and not the Savior from Sin.

    The Doctor or the Candyman I was listening to someone talk about elections and democracy, and he dug up a great quote from the past. And by the past, I mean like 2500 years ago. Ancient Athens was the first democracy we know of, and Socrates, the smartest man of his time, hated the idea. This was ...read more

    Paul, Silas, and Timothy left Philippi and made their way to Thessalonica and later Berea. They preached, people believed, but others did not. This is an action-packed episode in Paul's life and ministry.

    Introduction: Paul, Silas and Timothy had left Philippi. Now they’re heading towards Thessalonica and later Berea.

The first boy says, “My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he then calls it a poem, they give him $50.00.” The second boy says, “That’s nothing, My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a song, ...read more

    There are churches being built all around the world. All Bible believers are excited about seeing Bible believing and Bible preaching churches being built that glorify this wonderful Savior we serve.

    But all churches being built are not for the glory of God! Illus: There was a church in Columbia, South Carolina, that was growing faster than any church in the area at one time. In fact, they advertised throughout the city that they were the “Fasting Growing Church” in the city. They were growing ...read more

    The Power Of A Scandalous Message: Christ Crucified

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Sep 13, 2025
     | 204 views

    This sermon unpacks Paul's deliberate choice to preach "Christ crucified" in weakness, so that the resulting faith of his hearers would be undeniably anchored in the power of God alone.

    Introduction: The Pressure to Impress Good evening, my brothers and sisters. We live in a world that is enchanted by the impressive. We are drawn to charismatic speakers, to brilliant arguments, to polished and professional presentations. From social media to the corporate boardroom, and yes, even ...read more

     | 7,395 views

    A sermon that uses two childrens word pictures - pooh bear and Alice in Wonderland - to discus how Hebrews chapter 6 can point us towards maturity. This sermon is rather long and I only used a portion of it when preaching.

    Destination Maturity!!!!!!!!!! Here is Pooh Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a ...read more
