Jesus And His Eyes! Series

Contributed by Larry Vollink on Jan 23, 2021

The eyes of Jesus saw people dying, and He saw a city rejecting Him, and He wipe away all tears, when we get to Heaven.

AS a teenager, I will never forget when our Sunday School class toured our church pastor's study room. He pointed to the picture of Jesus, behind the desk, just the face with some dark tones, and looked very old. He said to the class, "Now, want you to keep your eyes on the eyes of Jesus, ...read more

The Meaning Of Meaninglessness

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021

The Bible rejects the idea that all is meaningful. It stresses the reality of the meaningless, for the more we know of this reality, the more we will strive to avoid it and stay on the road of meaningfulness.

There Was No Room At The Inn For The King, But There Is Room At The Cross For You

Contributed by David Nolte on Dec 10, 2018

How strange that He who was rejected by those He came to save gladly accepts and welcomes those same sinners who desire to come to Him.

There Was No Room At The Inn For The King, But There Is Room At The Cross For You!” Luke 1:1-7 / 1 John 2 1-2 David P. Nolte There are many contrasts in life: light and dark; good and bad; new and old; young and elderly; in and out. Let’s contrast these two songs: “No room in the ...read more

A Life Of Ingratitude (Thanksgiving Sermon)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

It is sad that today in churches we find many people who have not REJECTED salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ, but they have NEGLECTED the salvation they have in Christ.

We all know a great deal about REJECTION and rejection can be very painful. We normally learn about rejection when we are a child, but if we do not learn anything about it as a child, we probably learned something about it when we began dating.

Why Did God Send Jesus? (John 2:23-3:21) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 9, 2022

When we look at Judeans' rejection of Jesus, it's an open question. Did God want his people to be condemned, or not?

Last week, I worked very hard to end on a sour note. Let's reread 2:23-24: (23) Now, while he was in Jerusalem during the Passover at the feast, many gave allegiance to his name, seeing his signs that he was doing. (24) Now, Jesus himself wasn't giving his own allegiance to them because ...read more

You Are Accepted

Contributed by Marvin Cherry on Nov 24, 2015

If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior then you are automatically accepted in the family of God. The Lord never rejects what belongs to Him.

You Are Accepted - Ephesians 1:6 Intro: …. The grace of God is not fully comprehensible to the natural mind. To the natural mind the story of grace is one that is just too hard to believe. This same mindset also keeps us from knowing that we have been accepted by God and His great love. ...read more

Serving God Is Not Optional

Contributed by Perry Greene on Jun 20, 2023

In one sense, God gives us the freedom and option to serve Him or not. We know the outcomes of that choice, so it is not really an option to reject Him.

Serving God Is Not Optional Patriots have their eyes open to the destruction of our republic. Even the people who are asleep or are not patriotic know something is wrong. Our forefathers knew that having God as the basis of our society was essential, not optional. They knew that when people know ...read more

Breaking The Yoke Of Lukewarmness

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 24, 2025

When Jesus Builds The Church

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025

What It Takes to Be a Light in a Dark World. Jesus calls His church to reject comfort, silence, and spectacle, and stand strong in His presence, Spirit, and Word.

Picture Jesus, freshly baptized, water still drying on his shoulders, the voice of the Father ringing in his soul. “You are my beloved Son.” The dove has barely taken flight. That is exactly when the devil comes calling. Nobody gets a free victory lap after baptism. The real fight often starts ...read more

"The Jesus Who Brings Fire Not Peace”

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Aug 13, 2025

The words of Jesus regarding division in our families sound harsh. He knows a decioion about who He is and His message must be accepted or rejected.

Extraordinary Grace

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 3, 2025

Grace is the unmerited favour of God. It lifts the unqualified, beautifies the rejected, and establishes the forgotten. But when grace becomes extraordinary, it turns a lame beggar into a royal guest.
