Woke Culture And The Good Shepherd Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 22, 2021

The emergence of "woke" culture and personalities is a bigger threat to humanity than the Chinese coronavirus.

4th Sunday of Easter 2021 There’s a long tradition of reading the Word of God centered around Jesus as a shepherd, especially this Sunday. Part of that is that sheep without a shepherd are pathetic. They fall into pits, are hunted down by wolves and coyotes and wail pathetically until someone ...read more

Why The Church Matters Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

Do you remember the story about The Three Little Pigs? The first little pig built his house out of straw. The second little pig built his house out of sticks. And the third little pig worked hard and labored diligently as he built his house out of brick.

What would things look like if Satan really took control of a city? If Satan took over a city, all the bars would be closed, pornography banished, and the city streets would be pristine with people who smiled at one another. There would be no swearing. The children would say “Yes, sir” and “No, ...read more

Conformity To The Cross Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

The Corinthians Christians had become arrogant, crowing like a rooster. To use a Texas idiom, they had become “all hat and no cattle.” In the words of Glenn Campbell, “A Rhinestone Cowboy.”

It’s a message from Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians and it represents a journey of sorts. A journey to an another land – and older land – where the goals of Christianity were not set by marketers in order to make it more palatable. Instead, the agenda was set by prophets who sought holy, ...read more

Why Do The Rescued Praise The Lord? Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Mar 24, 2025

We must heed the warning of the Lord; it is the same warning Isaiah preaches here! But, why? Because He is returning to judge the Earth - not to scare us, but to prepare us! We must know that He is not a God of fear, but of love because He gives us sufficient warning of what is ahead!

Isaiah, Part 11 Why do the rescued praise the Lord? Isaiah 26:7-21 (Wed: 27:1-13) Introduction - Welcome to Seasons! We are so glad you are here today. - Last week, we saw God’s people praise Him during His judgments because: • His people are kept under His protection in a city created by ...read more

What Is The Purpose Of The Revelation? Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jul 1, 2023

Revelation is not only to be read, but it is to be applied to our thinking and how we live. It is an urgent prodding to the church to tell others about what Jesus has done, and will do, and how we can know His salvation through grace.

Alpha and Omega, Part 24, Revelation Part 1 What is the purpose of the Revelation? Revelation 1:1-3 Introduction - Last week we examined Jesus through the eyes of David - Challenge was to see David laying out for us the coming Christ -- It challenges us to be intentional, be focused, to ...read more

In this sermon, we will explore the biblical teachings on this topic, examining the characteristics of false humility and false change of heart, and providing guidance on how to overcome these counterfeit spiritual experiences.

As believers, we are often encouraged to cultivate humility and to seek a change of heart. However, the Bible warns us about the dangers of false humility and false change of heart. In this sermon, we will explore the biblical teachings on this topic, examining the characteristics of false humility ...read more

Sermon # 40 - Mercy Instead Of Judgement Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 10, 2025

Jonah freely accepted God’s mercy but wanted God’s judgement to be given the people of Nineveh. God’s word reminds us that it is not our prerogative to judge others, but rather to be merciful to them, just as God is merciful to us.

We read in Jonah 4:4, “Then the LORD said, "Do you think it is right for you to be angry?" (ERV) The God who created heaven and the earth asked Jonah the prophet, if he thought it was right to be angry with Him, very much like a parent would enquire of their child, who is upset with ...read more

Ten Toes Down

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 24, 2025

The Church must be unwilling to compromise on the Bible's truths.

Good evening. You are the blessed of the Lord, and I am so glad to see you tonight. Would you please turn to Second Timothy chapter four? That’s where we’re going to start. I’ve been thinking about the state of the Church and a lot of what we see unfolding today is because of the Church, and ...read more

Pleading For God's Mercy Series

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Oct 30, 2022

What is the only basis for your prayer for mercy? When you’ve been emptied of all pride, when you’ve given up trying to earn the LORD’s favour or to fix your life, then your only hope really is this: God has made you his own in Jesus Christ.

In our text Isaiah is praying. Praying is a normal thing for us, but let’s appreciate what the prophet is doing here. In this book of prophecy, there’s all kinds of different styles of writing. In Isaiah there are speeches, parables, lamentations, hymns of praise, predictions of the future, ...read more

Powerful People Worship, Serve And Please God With All Of Their Life Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Feb 24, 2020

We assume there is a great distance between the sacred and the secular. The problem is when we assume that we separate a huge part of our lives from God’s plan for us.

I am often surprised by the contents of some of the emails I receive. This week I had an email from one of the websites I follow that contained a report about oligochaetologists. Does anyone know what an oligochaetologist is? They are scientists who spend their lives studying, identifying, and ...read more

"Off The Chart” Egos Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 12, 2022

Isaiah prophetically recalls the fall of Lucifer while addressing God’s judgment upon Babylon. Lucifer, whose name would be changed to Satan (“the adversary”) is conceptually linked to the arrogance of the King of Babylon.

“Off the Chart” Egos Isaiah 14:3-20 1. Today’s joke is short, but one of my funnier jokes. I think I shared it last in 2005. Here goes. There is an old story about a pastor leaving a church. At his farewell dinner, he tried to encourage one of the pillar members, “Don’t be so sad. The next pastor ...read more

The Second Coming Of Christ - Part 3 Series

Contributed by Rick Crandall on Oct 9, 2015

When it comes to end times we see the: 1. Problem of the Temple (vs. 14-15). 2. Pride of the Antichrist (vs. 15-16). 3. Pressure of the tribulation (vs. 16-21). 4. Promise of the Lord's salvation (vs. 22-28 & 13-14). 5. Panic of the ungodly (vs. 29-31).

See The Hidden Glory Of God’s Son

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Jul 25, 2023

Let’s leave behind our pride and our thoughts about ourselves and witness the glory of the One and Only—God’s Son—who became human to give us life, and light, and hope. The baby in the manger wants us to have these blessings. May we see the hidden glory of God's Son!

You can still go to Bethlehem. Even though it has been over 2000 years since the first Christmas we could get on an airplane and fly to Israel and travel to the town where Jesus was born. And we can even go to the place that for centuries has been considered the actual location where Jesus was ...read more

Deliberate Church Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

One law professor said that without lying and bragging, half the pickup lines in bars across the country wouldn’t exist. Churches are deliberately places where bragging is non-existent (about ourselves) and where grace is paramount.

Today is Super Bowl Sunday. CBS is hoping for more than 100 million people watch the game today. The Super Bowl represents the best two teams and the best 106 players competing for bragging rights. There is little humility on the field today. They’ll talk about thankfulness and offer moderate words ...read more

What’s Wrong With Christianity - Part 2 Series

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 17, 2019

This series looks at some of the things that Christianity teaches that many Christians are not in agreement with.

Today is Part 2 of What’s Wrong With Christianity. As I said in Part 1, these messages are not asking what’s wrong with Christianity. Instead, they are describing what’s wrong with Christianity from the viewpoint of the Body of Christ. I’m going to repeat something that I said in the first ...read more
