    A sermon for an Easter Sunrise Service.

    “The Worst thing is Never the Last Thing” Matthew 28:1-10 There can be no doubt that much of what is happening in our world is frightening.

    Did Judas Do Any Good? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 5, 2023
     | 1,133 views

    Judas got nothing good–not pleasure or honor or power. He ended up being the only person in the Bible whom God judged as being better off never being born.

    Wednesday of Holy Week 2023 It does not seem terribly fair what happened to poor Kerioth-born Judas, as Matthew records it. He sells out Jesus for what in today’s currency would be about $260. Then, seeing Jesus condemned to death, he changes his mind and attempts to return the money to the ...read more

     | 2,630 views

    Why is it so important that we accept God's Word as written?

    God tells us in 2 Timothy 3:16-17… All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. The world always needs much good work. We Christians are honored, called, and ...read more

    The disciples had no money to give. Had they had it, they would have gladly given it. But what they had was of more value than alms. And, best of all, they were willing to share what they had.

    Acts 3:1-10 Better Than Silver, Finer Than Gold May 1, 2022 Peter and John had hardly begun their ministry when they encountered a man who had been lame all his life. Having no means of support, the cripple lay daily at the beautiful gate of the temple to beg alms of those who came ...read more

    Perfect Or Finished?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 26, 2023
     | 1,162 views

    "Perfect" is a single word with a huge load of meaning. Do we have the right idea about the word?

    Perfect or Finished? I have to admit my thoughts and feelings when I first heard the Biblical injunction from Jesus, “Be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (Mt 5:48) I felt horrible; I thought I was doomed. Hell was to be my ultimate destination. Perfect is a single word with a huge ...read more

    Was The Early Church Socialist, Even Communist? Series

     | 1,732 views

    Some commentators and politicians who belong to the Superficialist School of Bible Interpretation really mess up when they say Christians should be socialists because the early Church was.

    Jesus told His disciples, "Blessed are you poor" as Luke records it, and Matthew writes "Blessed are the poor in spirit." Filled with the Holy Spirit, the early Christians, or many of them, decided to take Jesus literally. They pooled their resources, as Luke records in the Acts ...read more

    Many "mature" Christians have never read their Bible except for passages for Sunday School or other lessons. I was one of them. When I opened my Bible and began reading the Bible for myself, that is when God started revealing himself to me.

    JOHN Most Bible scholars would recommend the Gospel of John as the first book a new Christian should read. -- John records the seven “I am” statements of Jesus. 1. I am the bread of life. John 6:35,48,51 2. I am the light of the world. John 8:12 3. I am the door of the sheep. John 10:7,9 4. ...read more
