A marathon, for most runners, seems long, but it is always 26.2 miles. Always. Except for the Lakeshore Marathon held in Chicago on Memorial Day weekend 20 years ago (2005). That day the 529 runners who finished actually ran 27.2 miles, one mile more than they were supposed to. Only, nobody told ...read more

Sermon # 36 - Learning To Forgive Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 20, 2024

Jonah was happy to receive God’s forgiveness for his disobedience, but was unhappy when God did the same for the people of Nineveh who repented of their sins. Jesus paid with his life for our forgiveness, and God expects us to extend this same forgiveness to those who wrong us in any way.

For our meditation we will study Jonah 4:1, “Jonah was very unhappy about this and became angry.” (GNB) When the prophet Jonah preached to the people in the city of Nineveh, they took his words seriously, repented, and had a change of heart. God relented from punishing the people of Nineveh, and ...read more

The False Prophet Balaam: When Opportunity Knocked, He Answered Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 28, 2025

The king of Moab had a problem: Israel was near his territory. He called on Balaam to come and curse Israel. This king gave Balaam what might be considered the opportunity of a lifetime. How did Balaam respond?

(Edited from and based on a message preached Sunday evening, 2-16-25 at New Hope Baptist Church of Fulton, MO; this is not an exact transcription.) Introduction: The story of Balaam is, or at least used to be, one of the saddest in the entire Bible. It seems he knew the One True God and could ...read more

Sermon # 7 - Our Life's Purpose Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Mar 20, 2025

We were created in the image of God, to reflect His characteristics and to fulfill His purposes. Those who put their trust in Jesus become sons and daughters of God and to such God will reveal His plans, so we can live meaningful and purpose-filled lives here on earth.

We read in Genesis 6:6, And the LORD regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. (ESV) God’s divine plan when He first created man was unfathomable, until man disobeyed, and went against this awesome purpose which God ordained. Not only did this leave God with ...read more

God's Rescue Plan

Contributed by Derek Geldart on May 10, 2025

The Voice That Leads Me

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jul 19, 2025

That’s what a shepherd is. That’s what a shepherd does. The Shepherd speaks to us with a voice that we cannot ignore. He says, “Relax, I’m your Shepherd. Don’t think about another thing. I have everything under control. Relax. No worries.”

We all want people to tell us the truth.

Pray Boldly!

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Jul 28, 2025

"Your will be done on earth as in heaven." We may not say the exact words but many of our prayers could be summarized with the words, “please let my will be done.” What's the answer to this paradox of prayer?

“Your will be done on earth as in heaven.” In the prayer we affectionately call the Lord’s Prayer we refer to that phrase as the Third Petition. Remember that a petition is specific request. There are seven petitions in the Lord’s Prayer as we pray it. After addressing God as our Father in ...read more

Win The Day - Fly The Kite Premium Sermon

Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 8, 2023

This sermon introduction discusses the story of how a kite flying contest led to the construction of a bridge across the Niagara gorge, symbolizing the idea that small actions can lead to significant outcomes.

On November 9, 1847, a civil engineer named Charles Ellet Jr. was commissioned to build a bridge across the Niagara gorge. The question, of course, was when and where and how do you get the first cable across an 825-foot chasm with 225-foot cliffs on either side? Enter Theodore Graves Hullet, a ...read more
