    A High-Way For Our God

    Contributed by Larry Grant on Jun 23, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,307 views

    These verses point out the preparations the church must make for the Kingdom if we want to see the Lord move among us in a time of power and glory. God’s “High Way” always stands in contradiction to the World’s “Low Way.”

    Isaiah 40:3-5 A High Way For Our God June 23, 2024 Isaiah is writing about the coming of the Messiah. These verses were partially fulfilled through the ministry of John the Baptist. Matthew 3:3 says In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, and saying, "Repent, ...read more

    The Dark Places Of The Earth

    based on 137 ratings
     | 20,455 views

    Our Lord said, “Go into all the world & preach the good news to every creature.” What is that good news? I think it consists of two things that need to be proclaimed - that would really be “good news” to the world today.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (REVISED: 2017) TEXT: Psalm 74:20 A. The scripture passage that I want us to consider this morning is found in the 74th Psalm. It is a beautiful &, at the same time, a tragic psalm. In it the Psalmist is speaking to the people of ...read more

    2 Corinthians Series: Yoking Not Yolking Series

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Sep 3, 2025
     | 361 views

    We are in the world and need to push, pull, and travel through this life with those who follow Christ. Our closest companions and partners and influences should belong Him; not of this world.

    2 CORINTHIANS SERIES YOKING NOT YOLKING 2 CORINTHIANS 6:1-18 2corandmore PERSON FROM CONGREGATION READS 2 CORINTHIANS 6:1-18 (ESV) “Working together with Him, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain. 2 For He says, “In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a day of ...read more

    The Secret To Inner Peace Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 28, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,523 views

    The world thinks that if they could just change their circumstances, they could avoid stress and worry... and could have the peace they crave. But Jesus said that won't work. In this world we are guaranteed to have trouble. But Jesus promises us a peace that the world cannot give.

    This is the last in our sermon series - entitled “One Thing”. We’ve been focusing on ONE WORD in Scripture that sums up a basic Bible truth, and today’s word is PEACE. Jesus said “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be ...read more

    Worship Is Feasting On God PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 8, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 108 views

    True satisfaction and joyful obedience are found only in knowing God and delighting in His presence, rather than seeking fulfillment in the world’s empty offerings.

    If we could sit together around a kitchen table, you’d notice the warmth of the oven and the smell of fresh bread. Plates set, cups full, chairs pulled close. That’s the picture in my mind when I think of what God offers His people: a table where the hungry are welcomed, where the thirsty are ...read more

     | 4,223 views

    Some people think the world is about them and let you know that.

    Is it All About Me? Ecclesiastes 2:1-11 Some would call the generation we live in today the “me” generation as though this was something new under the sun. Yet the “me” generation has long and continuing roots in the past. The Preacher shows this thinking was in his heart ...read more

    Turning Chaos To Peace Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,672 views

    The "Day of the Lord" will result in the chaos of this world system being turned into peace.

    Several months ago as we began to identify the Old Testament passages related to the “Day of the Lord”, I realized that we certainly wouldn’t have time to examine all of those passages in any kind of detail, at least not if we ever wanted to actually get to the Book of Revelation. And I know what ...read more

    God sets His people apart to be Holy in an unholy world.

    Be Holy Because He is Holy! You have all seen the television commercial for the Armed Forces "Be all that you can be." Everybody wants to be all that they can be. We all hunger for that, we don’t all reach our potential, but we do all desire to be all that we believe we are capable of being. No ...read more

     | 17,725 views

    TRUE CHANGE or RENEWAL can only happen when these 3 things take place: (1) Admit our wrongs (confession), (2) Acknowledge God’s ways (repentance), and (3) Act on It (commitment).

    We have come to Nehemiah 9. Let’s take a quick glance at the setting. • The Jewish people had been in captivity in Babylon. Their Temple and the entire city of Jerusalem had been destroyed. • Now, after 70 years, they have returned and rebuilt their city. Although we usually ...read more

    A thorough study on the Christian Quality "Humility" from my book, The World is Up-Side-Down

    Chapter 10 Humility -The Lowest are the Highest I used to think that God’s gifts were on shelves one above another and the taller we grow, the easier we can reach them. Now, I find, that God’s gifts are on shelves one beneath another and the lower we stoop, the more we get. F. B. ...read more

    God Must Not Be Good Because He Created Evil

    Contributed by John Fruner on Aug 13, 2002
    based on 24 ratings
     | 3,303 views

    God is not the author of evil and suffering in the world. Evil and suffering are consequences of our actions. Original Sin.

    “God must not be good because He created evil.” There is no question that our world is filled with evil and suffering. We come into contact with it every day of our lives and are forced to deal with it on an emotional, intellectual and practical level. How can we believe that God is both good ...read more

    Should Christians go to war? (... in aftermath of World Trade Center)

    A CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE ON WAR Years ago, when I was in the military stationed in Great Britain, a zealous European accused me of being a hypocrite.
