    The Passion For The Gospel Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on May 31, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,784 views

    We see Paul's concern for the saints in Rome whom he has not met, his compassion for the lost, and his conviction in the efficacy of the Gospel.

    We had a good start to the book of Romans, with the message of the Gospel succinctly expressed. • Having introduced himself, Paul gave us concise statements of the Gospel of God. • The good news has to do with Jesus Christ, the descendant of David by birth and declared the Son of God by His ...read more

    What was it about what Peter preached on Pentecost that cut his audience to the heart and prompted them to ask "What shall we do?" And what can we learn from what he said that can help us be more effective about sharing our faith?

    We just read a sermon by the Apostle Peter - a sermon he preached on the day of Pentecost - and it was so powerful that about 3000 people responded by asking: WHAT SHALL WE DO? And then they repented of their sin and were baptized into Christ. Their future was changed because of what Peter said. ...read more

    The beginning of a new year is always a good time to make life changes. This sermon looks at the beattitudes as a framework for making resolutions of the heart for the new year.

    A. A woman named Jeanette Case from Erie, PA shared this story in Reader’s Digest. 1. Last year when I called my parents to wish them a happy New Year, my dad answered the phone and I asked him: “Well, Dad, what’s your New Year’s resolution?” 2. Her dad proudly replied: “To make your mother as ...read more

    Sermon: Embracing God’s Light

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Aug 29, 2024
     | 1,179 views

    Human sinfulness causes many to choose darkness over the Light, to run from God instead of running to Him. Believers should embrace God's Light.

    Sermon: Embracing God’s Light Scripture Lesson: John 3:16-21 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him ...read more

    The Room Of Death Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 14, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,188 views

    The fear of death is universal. And through the centuries, people have tried various ways to overcome their fear of death, but Jesus offers us a solution that actually works. What does Jesus offer that no one else can give?

    In the early 1900s there was a famous psychiatrist by the name of Dr. Carl Jung. He developed an intriguing test that psychiatrists/Psychologists will sometimes use to help their patients deal with a specific fear everyone seems to have. They tell their patients to imagine being in a white room, ...read more

    Persistent Prayers

    Jesus often taught in parables. Among his many listeners, some folks understood their meaning and some folks didn't. And that is still true today, because we all tend to hear what we want to hear.

    The Lord used these parables to convey a truth to the listeners then, and to His listeners now, by taking a physical situation to teach a spiritual truth. Luke 18:1-8 is a parable about prayer. This is made clear in the first verse of this parable, look at Luke 18:1, we read, “And he spake a ...read more

    4. Thoughts In 2 Peter - Number Four - Stirrers In The Lord – Peter Is A Correct Stirrer - 2 Peter 3:1-2 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 11, 2026
     | 21 views

    The perceptive preacher will challenge with the same scriptures BY WHICH HE HIMSELF IS STIRRED UP, otherwise preaching has become a farce and is empty. A man can not preach a word to touch others if he, himself, has not been touched initially by the word he preaches.

    4. THOUGHTS IN 2 PETER - NUMBER FOUR - STIRRERS IN THE LORD – PETER IS A CORRECT STIRRER - 2 PETER 3:1-2 PART 1 – THE INTRODUCTION We live in the days of professional stirrers. These agitators seem to be found at every protest, whether it be political, environmental, “gay rights”, mining ...read more

    15. The Kingdom Parables – The Fourth – The Leaven – Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 1, 2025
     | 108 views

    This message looks at several comments and opinions and proves that the Parable of the Leaven is that of evil permeating the Church and the world. It brought in a corrupting influence. Leaven is never good! What is the woman, and three measures and the meal in this parable?

    15. THE KINGDOM PARABLES – THE FOURTH – THE LEAVEN – Part 2 We are doing a series on the Kingdom Parables of Matthew 13 and this message continues the fourth one, the LEAVEN. In the last study, we looked at the biblical mentions of leaven to see that it always stood for evil without exception, ...read more

    Deceptive Gold Works Its Penalty – God Is Not Mocked Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 24, 2022
     | 1,609 views

    Sin has consequences. It always returns to hurt the sinner. A farmer set out to deceive with gold and over time, became a mental case. We must stand on the ONE solid foundation and contend earnestly for the faith that is under attack. We have a common salvation we must defend vigorously.

    DECEPTIVE GOLD WORKS ITS PENALTY – GOD IS NOT MOCKED In 1960 Arnold Long, a missionary to the people of the Australian outback, wrote “The Bushman’s Guide. It contains stories of the outback and of people and was used in outreach. I did meet Arnold once. He was a remarkable man. This is one ...read more

    It is a constant theme in Scripture - God calls His church to be "united". What does this mean, and how can we get it done?

    In the 1600s the King of Sweden was Gustav Adolf II - and he was considered one of the great military strategists of the age. As with all great military strategists, the King was thinking ahead to how to control various areas around his nation, and one of the areas he had his eye on was Baltic ...read more
