When Sight Becomes Faith (Exodus 13:17-14:31) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 21, 2022

Here at last, the people truly "see" God's hand, and "trust" and "revere" God. Now, anything is possible.

Today, I want to try to respect our story, by treating it in its entirety. We should hear it all at once. And it's important for the story, to start it, not in chapter 14, but at Exodus 13:17. This marks a transition ("and then"), and there's something here that we need to ...read more

Strength For All Occasions Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Nov 9, 2020

In difficult times followers of Christ are assured of Strength and Resources as needed. Believers can live in peace and contentment when they know the two assurances in Philippians 4:13 and 19. Those verses provide foundation for biblical OPTIMISIM.

Our text today provides a sure foundation for optimism. Christians should be the most optimistic people on the face of the earth. I’m not talking about a Polly Anna avoidance of the challenges. I’m talking about a deep confidence that nothing can happen that is beyond God’s all-sufficiency. I’m ...read more

Institution Of The Lord’s Supper Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 11, 2019

It meant a lot to Jesus to spend those hours with His disciples. He loved them, and their presence encouraged Him. He took the cup and the bread of the Passover and transformed them into memorials of His own blood and body, for He wanted the disciples to remember Him.

God Sees You, Not Only As What You Are, But As What You Are Becoming

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jul 14, 2019

When Jesus met Simon, he named him "Peter", or "Rock", even though Peter's character at that time was decidedly un-rocklike. But Jesus saw what he would become, just as he sees as, not only as we are but as what we will become in Him.

The first thing we notice in these seven verses is the number of references to stones. Living stones. Precious stones. Corner stones. Stones that are chosen by God but rejected by men. A stone that causes people to stumble and fall. Now, think about that for a moment. Why would that be? Why would ...read more

Light Pollution Series

Contributed by Sean Dees on Jul 2, 2020

Be careful in not being fooled by artificial light which can try and obscure the natural light. We need to be able to identify that which is natural (God’s Light) and that which is artificial (Satan’s fake stuff). Joh 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:

Light Pollution Luke 4:16-21 Luke 4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, (Let me stop right there and point out that even Jesus went to Church regularly, so if the Son of God did not forsaking the ...read more

Give Us A King Series

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Sep 5, 2016
