The biblical story of the crossing of the Red Sea is so obvious the skeptics can’t believe it and we mustn’t overlook it.

OPENING: At the entrance to a one lane bridge in Sonoma Calif.: "When this sign is under water, this road is impassable." APPLICATION: Why does that seem so silly? Probably because it’s so obvious. If the water was up that far you couldn’t read sign anyway! The world’s can often be like that - ...read more

The Bad Company Of Bad Habits

Contributed by Larry Turner on Jul 2, 2015

Bad habits can really bring us down. We need to replace them with good habits. This sermon encourages others to do so.

The Bible says we are to confess our sins to one another. Therefore, I am going to confess a sin of mine to you this morning. In fact, it has become a habit.

The Birth Of Praise And Worship (Exodus 15:1-21) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 29, 2022

When God rescues, our natural response is to praise. And here, that's exactly what happens.

Let's start today by rereading part of last week's story, at Exodus 14:15. At this point in the story, the Israelites are seemingly doomed. They're trapped between the Sea of Reeds, and the Egyptians. And Moses himself apparently cries out to God, asking God to do something: (15) ...read more

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Nov 22, 2023

In a season of depression the man of God finds a cave on the mountain side. In his hurt and pain he searches for a touch of God. God was not in the wind, not in the earthquake, not in the fire. Elijah found God in a still small voice.
