    Finding Hope In The Midst Of A Pandemic

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jan 26, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,060 views

    Hope is what people need right now, and hope is so hard to find apart from a relationship with Jesus Christ. John 14:6 reads, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

    Finding Hope in the midst of a Pandemic “My hope is built on nothing less, Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness. I dare note trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus’ name. On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand.” Edward Mote (1797-1874) falls into the rare ...read more

    Measured Against The Plumb Line

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 22, 2021
     | 3,823 views

    We are tested every day by the Word of God. Are we continuing upright in the ways of the Lord? Are we inclined toward sin, or are we striving to be true to the Lord? The Word of God tests us, every time that we read it, every time we hear it.

    Have you ever seen a plumb line? Simply, it’s a string with a heavy weight tied to one end of it. A bricklayer will hang a plumb line beside a wall that’s under construction, to see if the wall is being built vertical and true. If things are out of kilter, then he’ll be able to see it right away: ...read more

    Is Your House Built On Sand?

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 11, 2023
     | 4,499 views

    Same construction, same storm, same flood -- different outcome. Why? Different foundation. But the foundation isn't listening to Christ, nor attending church, nor reading the Bible. It's OBEDIENCE! Permanence is only found in DOING the Word of God!

    IS YOUR HOUSE BUILT ON SAND? Matt. 7:24-27 INTRODUCTION A. NO LONGER SIMPLE 1. Do you remember making sand castles in a sandbox or at the beach when you were a kid? Well, the sport has come a long way! 2. On June 5, 2019, the world record was set in Binz Germany of the building of the world’s ...read more

    The Church Of Ephesus: The Flame That Became An Ember (Revelation 2:1-7)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 16, 2023
     | 1,703 views

    Revelation, Chapters 2 and 3, deal with seven specific churches located in Asia Minor (present day Turkey) that were given words of encouragement and criticism by the Lord Jesus Christ. We need to read what Jesus says to them, because it applies to us as well.

    Revelation 2 and 3 deal with seven specific churches listed by the Lord Jesus Christ (Revelation 1:11). He gives orders to the apostle John to write down what He says and send it to the pastors of these churches in order to let them know that despite the circumstances in which they find ...read more

    Dangers Of Mixed Multitude Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Dec 21, 2023
     | 2,071 views

    In Exodus 12:38 we read that there a mixed multitude joined the Israelites when they left Egypt. In the Targum the phrase is rendered "many foreigners," and "a medley of outlandish people". The Vulgate translates people who do not belong to the population of the country.

    Numbers 11:4-6 Dangers of the Mixed Multitude Introduction: In Exodus 12:38 we read that there a mixed multitude joined the Israelites when they left Egypt. The Hebrew word for multitude is rab meaning "great," "many," or "large." In the Targum the phrase is vaguely ...read more

    The famous Baptist pastor D.L. Moody used to say, “Some day, you will read in the papers that D.L. Moody of East Northfield is dead. Don’t believe a word of it! At that moment I shall be more alive than I am now!”

    Made Alive. Ephesians 2:1-22NIV The book of Ephesians was written some 70AD. The apostle Paul wrote this book from prison. What would make a man go to such extremes? -Paul had been made alive! He had a Damascus Road experience. -When you are made alive, ...read more

    Jesus Has A Contract Out On You

     | 2,190 views

    Jesus, before He died said: “ This cup is the New Covenant in my blood.” What is this “New Covenant?” This “covenant” or “contract” is full of fine print of terms and conditions. As we read this passage we learn several things about the contract. What do we learn?

    How many of you love to read contracts or “terms and conditions?” Most of us don’t pull out the most recent contract we have signed and read over the terms and conditions do we? Do you have a problem sleeping? I encourage you to go find your mortgage contract and read it tonight or perhaps the ...read more

    These verses we read, give us the most conspicuous and magnificent of the dogmatic utterances in the New Testament! We see the great sweep of Christ's life from eternity past to eternity future… and we are admitted to the breathtaking purposes of God in our human salvation!

    Open your bibles with me to Philippians chapter 2 verses 5-11! Thank you, you may be seated. These verses bring us near to the core of the early Christian faith and early Christian preaching… these verses most certainly are distinctive as they relate to the articles of our Christian Creed, the ...read more

    When reading Isaiah 53 one could almost believe the prophet Isaiah lived during the days of Jesus and was at the cross when he died. However these words were written approximately 700 years before Jesus. Again, 700 years before Jesus Christ.

    We are at the end of our series on the Beatitudes here in Matthew chapter 5. It has been a great reminder to hear the good news Jesus gives through the introduction of his Great Sermon on the Mount. We are finishing up this week by reading the second half of the last beatitude.

    Modern Day Miracles, Do They Happen As You May Think They Should?

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Jul 6, 2025
     | 153 views

    We read of Jesus, and his disciples too, performing great miracles, and so, after studying Christianity for years, you would think that there would come a point … where we should be equipped to perform some kind of miracle … and we do not, so why?

    “Please join me in my prayer.” Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of our hearts, be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, our strength, and our redeemer. Amen. (Ps. 19:14).

    Just one year ago church attendance and talk about God skyrocketed as we dealt with the uncertainty of life after the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon. People prayed, read God’s Word, and called upon God from churches, schools, and even government b

     | 8,834 views

    When you see a sign reading “Out of Order” on any machine, there are two things that you can reasonably assume: One - the thing doesn’t work properly, and, Two - it will probably be a man who comes and fixes it. Our nation is way Out of Order...
