    The Sprinkled Blood

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 5, 2023
     | 2,294 views

    Five places in Scripture refer to the sprinkling of blood. It brings preservation, confirms covenants, purifies from uncleanness, sanctifies, and gives access. It's at the center of God's great redemption!

    THE SPRINKLED BLOOD Heb. 12:18-25 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. One of my pet-peeves is Christians with Christian bumper stickers driving discourteously or dangerously – it’s a bad testimony. 2. One guy had a bumper sticker, “Jesus is my Co-Pilot.” He got in a bad wreck. A policeman came along and ...read more

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on May 5, 2023
     | 1,724 views

    It was only after the resurrection that Peter understood the cross and what that it because there is no crown without a cross!

    THE CROWN WITHOUT A CROSS? Text: 1 Peter 2:20 – 25 1 Peter 2:20 - 25 (19) For it is a credit to you if, being aware of God, you endure pain while suffering unjustly.

    What Is This Thing Called Love?

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on May 8, 2023
     | 1,051 views

    Love for God must always come before love for any earthly object of our affection.

    Everybody knows what love is, right? Love is what makes you sit up all night assembling the bicycle for your daughter’s birthday, or leave the board meeting early to make it to your son’s soccer game. Is that the same thing as the love that makes your mouth go dry and your heart beat fast when ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,664 views

    God wants more than for us to hear about the goodness of God from someone else, He wants us to taste it for ourselves! Come to His table and be fed to the full!

    O TASTE & SEE THAT THE LORD IS GOOD Ps. 34:8 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: IT’S BEEN TOO LONG 1. When a Lady asked her friend if she was planning to attend church, she just shook her head. "I haven't gone in a long time," she said. 2. "Besides, it's too late for me. ...read more

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jan 14, 2024
     | 1,467 views

    When faced with brokenness stemming from sin or navigating trials and tribulations, how does God respond? Could it be that, in our brokenness, through confession and perseverance, our faith not only deepens but also radiates a bright light to those in our midst?

    Being Broken Genesis 1, 16-21 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 Is it a challenge for you to let go of your possessions, even when they've aged, broken, and lost their value? When we explore our garages, basements, and hidden corners filled with our ...read more

     | 1,237 views

    Jeremiah’s message was not received by the religious, legal or ruling class. Today political, entertainment, religious and academic figures, refuse to listen to the message; but it is often Mr and Mrs Average and Mr and Mrs Not Important, who respond. Israel will be restored.

    Paul, Luke, and several other people had been shipwrecked on Malta. After staying there, these men and possibly others made the last leg of their journey to Rome itself. The journey wasn't always easy, though.
