    The Testimony Of John The Baptist

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 21, 2021
     | 1,680 views

    John the Baptist is presented in the prologue of John's gospel as the prophesied forerunner to the arrival of God's Messiah. He prepared the people of Israel for the Messiah by preaching repentance and obedience. Repentance was needed then, and in these last days as well.

    So far in John's prologue to his magnificent account of the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ, we were introduced to the person and ministry of John the Baptist, described as "a man sent from God" (1:6) and who was to "bear witness of the Light" (1:7-8). He bore ...read more

    "i Will Be Diligent: Part 2" Series

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 23, 2020
     | 3,498 views

    The man of God is to not follow trends, fads, feelings, what people would like to hear, or preach messages that make them feel "good", but instead preach the Gospel without compromise or apology and to stay committed no matter what happens.

    The previous message based on 2 Timothy began with the definition of diligence. It means being constant in your efforts, finish what you started, stay committed to the task and not quit or become distracted. Preparation and thought are a part of this process. Never start anything without going ...read more

    Call Waiting Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 27, 2022

    If God puts unexpected obstacles in your path to ministry, how should you handle it?

    When I graduated from seminary, I had no idea when or where I would be called into ministry. Many of my classmates were luckier. They knew where they were going. They had received a call. I, on the other hand, would not even be eligible to receive a call for at least one year, perhaps two or more. ...read more

    Thou Shalt Be Dumb (Advent Sermon 3 2022)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Dec 6, 2022
     | 1,264 views

    Zechariah and Elizabeth were a devout couple who did not have any children. We see in today’s text a lack of faith---unbelief. Then, one day the angel Gabriel showed up and told him that God was going answer His prayers and that Elizabeth would give birth to a son who was to be named John.

    THOU SHALT BE DUMB Text: Luke 1:5- 25 Luke 1:5-25 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. (6) And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the ...read more

    Nov 11 is Veteran's Day, and we are all veterans in Christ's Army. A comparison of His Army and our country's army.

    Although tomorrow, Nov 11, is officially Veteran’s Day, we’re honoring our veterans who have or are serving in our Armed Forces, today. Nov 11 was originally celebrated as Armistice Day, marking the day the temporary cessation of hostilities of WWI, between the Allied nations and Germany, went ...read more

    What Are We To Do When The Brook Dries Up?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 27, 2023
     | 1,495 views

    How many Christians have hit a "dry patch" during their ministry or walk with the Lord, and often we could not understand the reasoning why this has happened?

    We could have called the title to this message “When in Drought, Do Not Doubt.” In the previous chapter, we learn that Ahab is now king of Israel. Unfortunately, he was worse than all the other kings before him. Each king prior to Ahab became worse than the one before. Ahab married Jezebel who led ...read more

    We have exactly the same weapons against temptation that Jesus used against Satan in the wilderness.

    How many of you remember your first day at school, or your first day at a new job? You usually get some kind of orientation, don’t you.

    Truth – Holiness And The End Times

     | 1,272 views

    In these last day's we must examine ourselves frequently to make sure when Jesus comes back we are ready to go. Having a knowledge of all the END TIME events will not save us. It's how we serve the Lord that will assure our entrance into heaven.

    Matthew 7:21-23 (KJV-BRG) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and ...read more

    This sermon will give you the opportunity to decide which place you will spend your eternal life...heaven or hell.

    “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But ...read more

    In the parable of the 10 virgins 5 make it to the banquet while 5 miss out. The difference was in the preparation - a lack of oil. Are we spiritually prepared or do we lack the oil?

    Jesus, knowing the sorrow that would come with death and departure, comforted His disciples with a glorious promise: “I go to prepare a place for you.” Heaven is the prepared place for believers.

    Advent is a time when we’re reminded of the need to prepare, to get ready. We’re not just waiting, we’re preparing. How do we prepare for that day? By purifying ourselves, just as he is pure. By continuing to rejoice that God has come among us. By getting

    The opening chapter of Luke’s gospel is full of excitement and anticipation.

For Elizabeth and Zechariah there’s the excitement ...read more
