    The Reality Of His Birth

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 4, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,515 views

    As we prepare for Christmas, we must not be guilty of leaving Jesus in the manger. While I am thankful for His birth in Bethlehem, I also rejoice for Calvary. Jesus came with purpose - to die for our sin and reconcile us to God. He was born to die.

    The Reality of His Birth John 12: 27; 32 We are entering that wonderful time of year surrounding Christmas. No doubt it continues to generate a lot of excitement among young and old. Although we have heard it countless times, we never tire of hearing the marvelous account of our Lord’s ...read more

     | 5,827 views

    There can be no doubt that Paul endured much for the sake of the gospel. From a worldly perspective, one might have thought his efforts had largely failed. However, Paul kept the faith and continued serving the Lord. We should be thankful for his perseverance.

    Hindered but not Hopeless 1 Thessalonians 2: 17-20 What precious and powerful words are recorded for our exhortation in these few verses! These words reveal the very heart and soul of the apostle Paul. He, of all men, knew what it was to face adversity and extreme difficulty in ministry. ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,937 views

    As Jesus hung on the cross, between two condemned malefactors, He spoke words of grace to one who was repentant. In His dying moments, our Lord revealed the grace He came to secure for all who look to Him by faith.

    Today shalt Thou be with Me in Paradise Luke 23: 39-43 Last week we began our study of the seven sayings of Jesus upon the cross with the first of those, a prayer of forgiveness offered to God the Father. This morning we have come to the second of those gracious and powerful sayings, with a ...read more

     | 4,861 views

    Esther lived within the Persian Empire, an environment hostile to the Hebrew people. Although their situation seemed dire, God had a plan to preserve and prosper His people. The opening passage provides insight to the culture in Persia.

    The Decadence of the King Esther 1: 1-9 The opening chapter of Esther reveals the ungodly condition of the society in which God’s people were dwelling. It was a culture that possessed and promoted unbridled lusts and insatiable appetites. The people within Media and Persia had one goal in life: ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,688 views

    A sermon about humility.

    “Who’s Number One?” Mark 9:33-37 I love that the writers of the Gospels included this story. It teaches us so much, and it also holds a mirror up to me—perhaps to all of us as human beings. There is no place for judgment here, for who of us hasn’t found ourselves vying for the best places, ...read more

     | 10,988 views

    Writing his final letter, while facing execution, Paul was not defeated. He had not abandoned the faith. His final instruction was given to his son in the faith, Timothy. Paul longed for Timothy to follow his lead and remain steadfast in the faith.

    The Strategy for Success 2 Timothy 2: 1-6 Our text today comes from the last letter the Apostle Paul would write. At this moment, Paul is very near the end of life. He is confined within the Roman Mamertine prison, awaiting his execution. Paul’s final days are lived in the shadow of the ...read more

    The Crown Of Suffering Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 19, 2018
     | 5,089 views

    The scourging Jesus endured would have been unimaginably horrific, but His suffering was from over. Following the merciless beating, Jesus was then subjected to ridicule and mockery. All of this was done for you and me!

    The Crown of Suffering Mark 15: 16-21 Our last study ended with a gripping statement: And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. It doesn’t reveal much detail. We are merely told that Jesus was ...read more

    Generosity #3 Series

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Oct 16, 2019
     | 2,819 views

    Generosity is commitment to the Lord that represents your oath. It’s a heart issue, a trust issue, a love issue, a faith issue and a power issue.

    It’s the story of God’s generosity as shared throughout the Bible. We have been calling this story 247365. A story of different types of generosity told through the widow’s mite (who gave out of her poverty), Zaccheaus (who gave all he and so called him “all in”) and today, we will talk about ...read more

     | 5,313 views

    Jesus’ cleansing of the temple intensifies the conflict. Luke uses a series of dialogues to convey the controversy between Jesus and the Jewish leaders. Jesus’ authority is of paramount importance, and His work as teacher and prophet requires validation.

    LUKE 20: 1-8 [JESUS’ LAST WEEK SERIES] THE QUESTION OF AUTHORITY In this last week of Jesus’ earthly life section Luke uses a series of dialogues to convey the controversy between Jesus and the Jewish leaders.

    A sermon about humility and seeking to have the same mindset as Christ Jesus.

    “I Want to be Like Jesus” Philippians 2:1-13 You wouldn’t think it would be so difficult. As a matter of fact, it should come naturally. We are all born as little babies who don’t know a thing and are completely dependent on our mothers. We are all made of the same stuff—flesh, blood, ...read more

    Message 20 from John's gospel exploring the passage where Jesus restored sight to the blind man.

    Alliance Church Pastor David Welch “Sight for the Blind” INTRODUCTION John portrays Jesus as the one who came to give light and life to men.
