Death Of A Nation

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 16, 2020

When God says, "Enough!" how shall His people respond? The response of God's people to the sinful drift of our nation should lead us to grieve for our fellow man and plead with them to turn to Christ and His righteousness.

“Righteous are you, O LORD, when I complain to you; yet I would plead my case before you. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all who are treacherous thrive? You plant them, and they take root; they grow and produce fruit; you are near in their mouth and far from their heart. ...read more

Paul Addressing The Ephesian Elders Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 3, 2022

Paul is ready to pass the baton of leadership to the elders of Ephesus. Paul mentioned he had invested three years at Ephesus. Paul was handing off full responsibility to elders with very little experience. He did need to send Tychicus and then Timothy later to help the elders.

Background of Paul addressing the elders This discourse of Paul addressing the Ephesian elders takes place near the end of his third journey. He already spent two years at the hall of Tyrannus in Ephesus. He mentions that in total he poured into the elders for three years (Acts 20:31). This exit ...read more

Three Crosses On A Hill: A Study In Evangelism

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Nov 6, 2022

When we preach about the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for our sins upon the cross, we forget that there were also two men crucified on crosses next to Him. Each man had the opportunity to look to Jesus for grace and mercy. Their response determined their eternal destiny.

The agony of the crucifixion and the final hours of Jesus are recorded in all four gospels, each written with their own unique perspective of what happened that dark day (Matthew 27; Mark 15; Luke 23; John 19). Each one tells of the jeering, mockery, contempt, and seething hatred towards the ...read more

The Tongue In The Light Series

Contributed by James Haynes on Jul 23, 2025

In this message from Ephesians 5:11–12, we look at the believer’s responsibility to not just avoid sin—but to expose it. Our words matter. Silence can be a form of compromise. Are we using our speech to shine light, or to stay comfortable in the dark?

The Christian life is a call to holiness. In a world that promotes self-indulgence, compromise, and sin, God calls us to live differently. The sacrifice of Christ demands a response: a life set apart for Him. But what does holiness mean, and how do we live it out daily?

Go! And Live a Holy Life Introduction: The Christian life is a call to holiness.

Sermon # 15 - The Gradual Steps Of Backsliding Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 9, 2024

Jonah walked away from God and landed everyone aboard the ship he travelled in big trouble. Backsliding is a gradual process, but if we repent and turn back to the Lord we can be reconciled and restored to our first love.

We read in Jonah 1:10-12, Then the men were terrified. They knew that he was running away from the LORD, because he had told them. They asked Jonah, "Why have you done this?" The storm was getting worse. So they asked Jonah, "What should we do with you to calm the sea?" He told ...read more

In a world that is in constant turmoil, and fears loom large, we have the assurance that Jehovah Shalom, ‘God of Peace’ is with us. Learn how God met Gideon a man filled with fear and transformed him into a mighty warrior who delivered God’s people from fear and bondage.

We read in Judges 6:11, “Then the LORD's angel came to the village of Ophrah and sat under the oak tree that belonged to Joash, a man of the clan of Abiezer.
