Ideal Mother Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Does God Hate Anyone? Series

The Centurion At The Feet Of Jesus Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 11, 2018

The story of this Centurion is listed in 3 of the Gospels because God wants us to see what he saw. What did the centurion see that day, and why did he cry out "Surely this was the Son of God"?

In the days of Jesus the most feared soldiers on the face of the earth were those of the Legions Of Rome. These men were practically invincible.

The Giant Has Fallen

Matthew 7:24-27 (ESV) 24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And ...read more

On The Bubble Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 3, 2021

I have good news for you today: the Bible says God cannot lie (Titus 1:2). In a world full of spin and where people doctor the truth, the God of the Bible is total 100% truth. God is so much truth, the Bible even substitutes “amen” for God’s name.

The Birth Of A Church Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

The Sumpremacy Of Love Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

Love is central to Christianity. For love is the power of the age to come that has invaded our day. Love has broken into the present day from its home in heaven.

Beside Psalm 23 and the Lord’s Prayer, 1 Corinthians 13 represents on of the most well known and loved passages in all of the Bible. Perhaps it is the most cherished passage in all of the Apostle Paul’s writings. And while the word love is mentioned ten times in this one chapter, you’ll not find ...read more

The Christmas That Wasn't Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 1, 2021

The first Christmas was the Christmas that wasn't--at least in Jerusalem, the city that the Great King and Messiah came to save, and to rule from. Pagan visitors from far away had to tell them of the great thing that had happened in their midst.

The Well, The Women, And The Wait Series

Contributed by Brian Williams on Feb 18, 2025

We all have unsettled issues in our hearts. Some want to put a lot of time and distance between these unresolved issues, even a change of scenery, which may be necessary to get some clarity. I believe God wants us to identify these issues and work through them.

Jesus, The Son Of God Series

Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Feb 18, 2025
