    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 23, 2021
     | 1,095 views

    We can all get stuck on the side of the road in different ways at different times in our lives.

    The name, fame and shame of Bartimaeus. His name means Bar, meaning “the son of” Timaeus. Others point to the Aramaic or Hebrew word for "unclean" (‘bar-tem’), suggesting that BartimaeSus is "son of the unclean." In reality both names fit because Bartimaeus was a poor ...read more

    The disciples who followed Jesus in the day of his flesh had some wonderful advantages. However, when Jesus died on the cross every shred of hope they had was gone.

    Mark 16:9-11 9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. 10 And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept. 11 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen ...read more

    Our faith must be an active faith. It must come alive to bring others to Christ.

    I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT THOMAS MISSED THE FIRST EASTER APPEARANCE OF JESUS. WHAT I FIND TO BE EVEN MORE INTRIGUING IS THE FACT THAT THE DISCIPLES ARE STILL HIDING BEHIND A LOCKED DOOR ONE WEEK FOLLOWING THEIR ENCOUNTER WITH THE RISNEN CHRIST. I THINK THOMAS GETS A BUM RAP AS THE “LONE” DISCIPLE ...read more

    John’s Question

    Contributed by Dan Finch on Dec 25, 2010
     | 10,551 views

    Everybody wants to be a winner and be on the winning team. John the baptizer was afraid that he was mistaken about Jesus because he saw him headed toward a cross. We are still a lot like John. Following Jesus is often not about winning.

    It’s hard to be sure when you are in pain It’s easy to be confident when things are going well – when you are young, strong – LeBron James for instance, went on TV and had a whole show just to say that he was going to the Miami Heat. Look at me, look how confident I am. This is going to be great. ...read more

    If we want to see God bring a revival to the church, we must walk in humility, pray bold prayers, hunger after God, and turn from sin.

    GETTING READY FOR REVIVAL INTRO TO TOPIC: Do you ever ask yourself: Is this as good as it gets? Is Christianity just about coming to church and singing songs and hearing stories about what God did in the past? Or is there more?

    What makes a godly marriage godly? Why do some marriages stay together and some don't? If I want to be a better husband or wife, what should my role model be?

    Love and Respect (Eph. 5:31-33) Intro: A. It is often quoted that 50 percent of all US marriages end in divorce. The problem is, that is not a correct statistic.

    A sermon built around Paul Harvey's phrase: "Now you know the rest of the story." It looks at the story of Adam and Eve, our part in the story, and Jesus'.

    Today’s text is an interesting one. It doesn’t start at verse 26. It even doesn’t start at verse one of the chapter, nor does it even begin in chapter 22 on Maundy Thursday. It doesn’t even begin at chapter one, verse one of Luke. We’re not getting the whole story this morning. It is like ...read more

    The holy practice of Job is reflected in the care of his children. Every time his children would party, he would always be there to offer a sacrifice (Job 1:4-5). How many fathers really ever get to think about the consequences of their children’s sins?

    TRAIN YOUR CHILD IN THE WAY OF THE LORD "His sons used to hold feasts in their homes on their birthdays, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would make arrangements for them to be purified. Early in the ...read more
