A final look at David's mighty warriors. We look at Eleazer today

Becoming a Dreamer 2 Chronicles 23:9-10 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 June 19, 2022 One of the things I appreciate in people is when they talk to you, they tell it the way it is. There’s no beating around the bush, no hemming and hawing. They don’t tell me a story, hoping I’ll get the point. Of ...read more

God Gives The Earth To Us (Joshua 10:29-11:23) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 12, 2022

Joshua is systematically killing off the nephilim, so that God's people can inherit the land, and have true "rest."

If you walk up to a random Christian in church, and ask them what the book of Joshua is about, they will tell you it's about the conquest of the land God promised Israel. But consider this: we are almost through Joshua 10, and at this point in the book, Joshua has conquered three cities: ...read more

To Judge Or Not To Judge - James 4:11,12

Contributed by Vernon Risner on Jan 23, 2022

Jesus says in Matthew 7:1 that we aren't to judge. Then in John 7:24 Jesus says to "judge correctly". So which is it? Are we to judge or not to judge? Today we look at this topic and it's far-reaching implications on the Christian life.

To Judge or Not to Judge - James 4:11,12 When I was in high school, there was this guy in my class that was on the rough side. He smoked, cussed, had long hair. Later we became good friends but before that – I remember a day a Christian student approached him sharing a judgmental comment. This ...read more

They Left Everything

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Feb 19, 2022

We may have strong attachments to the normal routines of life, but God may call us to break out of the mold and give us a life of excitement and purpose that we had never dreamed of.

You may have heard news reports recently about a young man with the name of Douglas McAuthur McCain. He was the first American that we know of who died in Syria fighting for ISIS, the Islamic State. And you wonder, “How in the world did an American end up dying as a jihadi in Syria?” The ...read more

Grace From Galatians (17 Of 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 8, 2022

In this passage of scripture, Paul is addressing Christians. Notice, he addressed them in verse 1 by referring to them as, “Brethren”.

Paul’s concept of the church throughout the scriptures is that the Believers are the family of God. WHY IS HE ADDRESSING THEM? He is addressing them because people in the family of God are supposed to love one another as a LOVING FAMILY. Like all families, the family of God has times when ...read more

The Joy Of Christmas Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Dec 7, 2022

To find real joy in a world in perma-crisis, worship the Christ of Christmas. Like the wise men, seek Him out, bow before him, and give Him your very best.

As people across the globe reel from one crisis to another, the Collins English Dictionary just last month (November 2022) revealed its 2022 word of the year: “permacrisis.” Harper Collins, the dictionary’s publisher, defines “permacrisis” as “an extended period of instability and insecurity, ...read more

The Way Of Jesus - Marker#1 - "I Have Begun Following Jesus, And Am Depending On The Spirit Of Jesus In My Journey”

Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Jan 14, 2024

This message is a mash up of 2 other sermons I wrote on the first marker of the Way of Jesus platform, an initiative of the Evangelical Missionary Church of Canada. https://www.emcc.ca/can-we-help/individuals/following-jesus/insights/what-is-the-way-of-jesus/

The Way of Jesus #1 - “I have begun following Jesus, and am depending on the Spirit of Jesus in my journey”. What does your life say? What does your life say? That’s an odd question perhaps, but I think it’s a good one. What does your life say? Today, in part, we’re going to consider what the ...read more

Faith Alone Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Oct 30, 2024

The Gospel of Accomplishment: “You must believe and live right to be saved.” The Gospel of Approval: “I’m defined by what other people think about me.” Here’s our third counterfeit gospel: The Gospel of Self-Management - “You can change. Look inside you for the power to change.”

We continue our series on Why the Reformation matters today by looking at the importance of faith. One of the critical pieces that came out of the Reformation was the belief that Faith Alone makes me acceptable to God. We will return back to Sean’s story a little later today. 500 years after ...read more

Salvation Cruise

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024

Noah’s faith was no academic faith - a mere faith in principle, but an active faith—a faith in practice. He spent 120 years building that ark, committing himself to the God he knew. Our faith, too, must be active.

Illustration: Who Are the Saved OR Evangelicals? Gallup has at times asked 3 qualifying questions to make the determination; have you had a born-again experience committing yourself to Jesus Christ, have you tried to encourage someone to believe in Christ, and do you believe the Bible is the ...read more

Neighbor, What's Up?

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 20, 2025

The Good Samaritan exposes self-justification, lets the law speak fully, and leads us to salvation received through mercy, not performance.

Everyone seems to know the story of the Good Samaritan. It is one of those rare biblical stories that has escaped the walls of the church and entered everyday language. Hospitals are named after him. Laws are named after him. Charities bear his name. Even people who have never opened a Bible still ...read more

Stop Telling God What To Do

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025

How Prayer Changes Us Before It Changes Anything Else. Prayer is not controlling outcomes but aligning with God’s heart, trusting Him fully, and joining His transforming work in people’s lives.

There are phrases that sound almost sacrilegious in a prayer meeting. Not curse words. Just sentences that don’t fit the script Christian culture hands us. And the moment they come out of your mouth, the atmosphere shifts. Forks freeze above plates. Eyes widen. Someone nearly inhales a dinner ...read more

When The Winds Are Released

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 5, 2025

Character is shaped in daily surrender; only Christ-formed character will stand when God releases the winds and uncreation begins.

THE STILLNESS BEFORE THE STORM There is a moment in the story of Noah that almost no one talks about. It isn’t dramatic. It isn’t noisy. It isn’t the rain or the rising waters or the thunder cracking over the mountains. It’s the seven days of silence. Noah entered the ark. The animals were ...read more
