    Examining the bright distinction between Holy God and fallen mankind.

    “Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you ...read more

    A stern warning against the pursuit of money from the pend of the Apostle.

    1 TIMOTHY 6:10 A ROOT OF ALL KINDS OF EVIL “The love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.” [1] We’ve all heard the saying, “Money is the root of all ...read more

    Qualities of a christian - Mercy. To receive mercy I must be merciful.

    Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount exposes self-righteousness and makes a clear division between it and the true righteousness needed to enter the kingdom of heaven. Righteousness cannot be earned based on what you do and what you refrain from doing, for man absolutely cannot meet God’s standards on his ...read more

    How To Destroy Your Enemies

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Oct 6, 2021
     | 3,724 views

    There are a lot of differences between Christianity and other religions. One of those differences is the way we treat our enemies.

    SO, HOW ARE WE TO REACT TO OUR ENEMIES? The natural reaction of one who does not know Christ is to strike back and to seek the greatest retribution possible. BUT THIS IS NOT THE CHRISTIAN RESPONSE Illus: D.L. MOODY, IN ONE OF HIS SERMONS, PORTRAYS THE LORD JESUS GIVING DIRECTION TO PETER AFTER ...read more

    Will Christians Go Through The Tribulation Period? (Ix) Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Mar 1, 2021
     | 4,519 views

    Matthew's prediction of the Abomination of Desolation is compared to Luke's account of the destruction of the temple in 70 AD. Rightly diving this portion of the Olivet Discourse is crucial to understanding end-time prophecy. The focus of this message is Matthew 24:15-31.

    Last week we examined the first part of Jesus’s Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24:1-14. In that portion of the prophecy Jesus told us the conditions that would exist during this current age: deception, wars, pestilence, earthquakes, persecution, etc. In verse 8 He uses the metaphor of labor pains ...read more

    Act Like A Man

    Paul says to men: If you want to be a real man, “stand firm in the faith!” Men are to stand firm in both holding and defending the truths of the Gospel.

    On an Internet discussion board I found the following comments: Designer duds, hair gel, waxing appointments, manicures, and facials -- once upon a time, these terms were only associated with women, but nowadays, it seems, men are spending more time and money on looking good. Do the men you know ...read more

    Lost Tribes Of Israel Series

     | 3,602 views

    In this exposition of Zechariah 10:5-12, God's promise to restore and reunite the northern 10 tribes with the southern 2 tribes is explored. Who are the Lost Tribes of Israel and how will they be restored to their homeland?

    Intro Our text last week was Zechariah 10:1-4. For context, we will begin by reading that passage. “Ask the LORD for rain in the springtime; it is the LORD who sends the thunderstorms. He gives showers of rain to all people, and plants of the field to everyone. 2 The idols speak deceitfully, ...read more

    Generosity

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jun 24, 2022
     | 4,152 views

    This sermon is about the false narratives that surround the idea of "generosity" or "giving" and the things that hinder Christians from having a generous spirit.

    I want to start off by saying giving in the Christian life is not so much an external action. Something that we do out of guilt or obligation, but really what we do in response to the love of God and the generosity of God. A generosity that we try to imitate as we seek to be more like Jesus ...read more

    Almsgiving Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 23, 2022
     | 3,454 views

    Giving is a critical component within the grounds of faith we commit to as born-again Christians. Giving allows us to share in the bounty of what God has graced us with and the satisfaction of knowing we are doing something good for others.

    Sermon on the Mount - Matthew 6:1-4 (Almsgiving) Matthew 6:1-4, NIV 1 "Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2 "So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, ...read more

    Let's take a look at God's name, His character and see how much He loves us.

    A couple of weeks ago we talked about the importance of God's name. My goal today is to, once again, look at God's name and see the way God loves us. God really does love us deeply. I'll be using Psalm 103 today. Prayer Psalm 103 is a praise psalm. David is given credit for ...read more
