Here We Come Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Jun 25, 2009

So it’s the end of the sixth day and here comes man, saved til last to complete God’s perfect creation. I have to wonder if the angels and animals watching were thinking “Oh no, here comes trouble”. If they had only known, yet God seems to be very excited

It Is Finished - Communion Service Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Aug 8, 2012

Jesus said only I can lay my life down and take it up! Jesus did it all! That’s why when He was on the cross He said, IT IS FINISHED! No other sacrifices were required, no more animals, no more blood, no dark cloud of guilt hanging over us because of our

I want us to think for a few moments about the last meal Jesus had with His disciples. We call it the Last Supper and Jesus and His disciples were celebrating the Feast of the Passover together. Jesus picks up a cup of wine and in: Luke 22:20 it says In the same way, after the supper he took ...read more

Breath Of God Or Copd?

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 4, 2023

I believe the modern church is suffering from spiritual COPD; we’re not getting the Breath of life from God often enough to animate us, transform us, heal & renew us, and help us overcome. God's Breath is our source of life, gives us purpose, & power.

BREATH OF GOD OR COPD? Job 33:4 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A man wanted to be a salesman, but he stuttered very badly. Then he saw an ad for a job as a Bible salesman for the Bible Society, and he decided to apply. 2. At the interview, they heard him stutter and said, "We're sorry, ...read more

The Field Manual Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 21, 2009

Is the Bible really "truth"? Jesus said it was, but there are people who problems with that. How do we answer their objections?

A Faith That En-Abels Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 11, 2021

By Faith, Abel offered a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain did. But what does that mean? What made the sacrifice more acceptable? And what can that mean for us?

OPEN: I read from a Children’s book the story of Cain and Abel. You know, it’s odd - we ALL seem to know the story about Cain and Abel. But Cain gets more “PRESS” from Scripture than Abel does. Cain is mentioned in 18 verses but Abel ONLY gets 11 verses (about 1/3 less attention). But the PRESS ...read more

Measure Upon Measure – Death – The Restoration Of God - Part 9 (Section 1) Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 5, 2025

In this fifth consequence of Adam’s sin which is death, we take a comprehensive look into what death means and examine all aspects. There are 5 sections in this and section 1 opens the subject up with a good look at the Garden of Eden and the entry of sin through Adam and Eve.

MEASURE UPON MEASURE – DEATH – THE RESTORATION OF GOD - Part 9 (Section 1) CHAPTER 5 - THE FIFTH CONSEQUENCE In this fifth consequence, because it is the longest, and probably the most important, it is difficult to break it into sections. I have done that but it ended up with some sections ...read more

A Matter Of Life And Death Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 23, 2022

In the New Testament it appears that Adam figures powerfully into why Jesus came to die for our sins. But what is it about Adam that would help us better understand why Jesus came to change our lives?

OPEN: Believe it or not, I’ve been told that in S. Dakota there was a town called Paradise… and it was named by two residents. Adam and Eve. Most people remember the story of Adam and Eve in Genesis.

The Rebellion Of Korah Is An Example Of The Rebellious False Teachers - Jude 1 V 11(C) Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 16, 2022

Jude has been exposing the false teachers quite graphically. One was a murderer, one perverted God's people for money, and here is Korah, a man of rebellion. God put him to the test and he failed. This whole account is examined in this message.

THE REBELLION OF KORAH IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE REBELLIOUS FALSE TEACHERS - Jude 1 v 11(c) In a previous message we looked at Cain and Korah together. This time only Korah is in the spotlight and the account has been expanded. Jude 1 v 11 Woe to them for they have gone the way of Cain, and for pay, ...read more

All On The Altar Of Sacrifice Series

The Sad, Sad Decision Of Cain, The Firstborn Of Adam And Eve (Expanded) – Genesis Chapter 4; Jude 1:12 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 16, 2022

When Jude deals with the ravenous wolves of the false teachers, his thoughts go to three vile people in the Old Testament. Today I am doing only one of those even though we touched on it in the past. Cain is the disobedient and murderous one. We will examine the story in more detail.

THE SAD, SAD DECISION OF CAIN, THE FIRSTBORN OF ADAM AND EVE (EXPANDED) – GENESIS CHAPTER 4 Jude 1:12 There was an earlier massage that contained Cain and Korah together. Now Cain alone is expanded.
