    Living In The Kingdom 21 Series

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jun 8, 2022
     | 2,175 views

    This is part two of my message on Matthew 7:13-14 which looks at what Jesus said about entering the narrow gate. In this messahe we look at what it takes to enter that narrow gate.

    Living in the Kingdom 21 Scripture: Matthew 7:13-14; 15:18-19; Romans 6:1-7; 12-18 This is part two of the message I started last week. If you recall from last Sunday, Matthew 7:13-14 says, “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to ...read more

    Zechariah's Second Vision Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Nov 1, 2021
     | 4,336 views

    Message focuses on the sovereignty of God, divine retribution on nations that oppress God's people, and God's vindication of his elect. This word of comfort and assurance has timeless application for God's people of all ages.

    Life is not fair! The godly suffer unjustly, and the wicked seem to get away with their evil deeds. Unbelievers point to all the pain and suffering in the world and defiantly say, “If God is a just, loving God, why does he allow war? Why does he allow disease and famine? Where was he during the ...read more

    John Bunyan, the author of Pilgrim’s Progress, wrote another famous allegory entitled The Holy War.... He believed that God and Satan are locked in a titanic war in which the souls of humanity are at stake — that we are the principal players in a real war. ... Bunyan sought, by the ...read more

    Let Go Of Lazarus

    Contributed by Bryan Beverly on Sep 2, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 17,382 views

    Everyone has a ‘Lazarus’; everyone has a person, place or thing that they believe is essential to their lives. We can’t imagine life without our ‘Lazarus’. This sermon encourages us to mature in our faith by ‘letting go of Lazarus’ and holding on to Christ.

    Let Go of Lazarus So they took away the stone. And Jesus looked upward and said, “Father, I thank you for having heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the crowd standing here, so that they may believe that you sent me.” When he had said this, he cried with ...read more

    Ic3a]: Israel In The Wilderness Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 26, 2020
     | 3,803 views

    Today's lesson concerns the exodus from Egypt and the Israelites’ unbelief. Because of their neglect to hear God’s message they delayed at the border. Because the people went backward in unbelief, instead of foreword in faith, they missed their inheritance and died in the wilderness.

    6/30/19 Tom Lowe Lesson #12 [IC3a]: Israel in the Wilderness (HEBREWS 3:6b-11) Context: The context is the exodus from Egypt and the Israelites’ experience of unbelief in the wilderness.

    Faced with the threat of death, Elijah lost his faith that God cared for him and lost sight of God's power. Can that happen to us, and what can Elijah's experience teach us about our faith?

    Ever since there’s been a Post Office, it seems that children have written letters to God. Here are just a few of them: A little girl named Jane wrote: “In Sunday school they told us what you do.

     | 19,627 views

    This first chapter of Ruth will help us see that there are great possibilities ahead that we are not aware of. God has been working all along in the background even if all around us is full of darkness and despair.

    We are going to start a new series today in the Book of Ruth. What do we know about that Book of Ruth? For one thing, this short Book consisting of only four chapters and 100 verses is a link between the time of the judges and the kings of Israel. Remember that during the time of the Judges, ...read more

    Just as Jesus breathed His last, the Bible tells us that curtain of the Temple was torn in two. Witnesses to the Temple tell us that this curtain was as thick as your hand. So the tearing of something so thick and so large was supernatural.

    Happy Easter Sunday to everyone! Happy resurrection day to you all. Welcome to Easter Sunday including those of you online. Why is Easter a Big Deal?

    The Gift Of Love Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Dec 19, 2019
     | 4,048 views

    In Malachi 3:1-4 we see the Father's "Gift of Love" in the promise of His Son through a series of predictions (i.e., announcements regarding the future). In verses 1-4 we can see love from (1) The Coming Lord (Malachi 3:1-2) and from (2) The Purifying Lord (Malachi 3:3–4).

    Malachi 3:1-4 [3:1]"Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me. And the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant in whom you delight, behold, he is coming, says the LORD of hosts.

    Message In 1peter – Number 5 – Humble Yourselves And The Monster Of Anxiety – 1peter 5:6-7 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 9, 2023
     | 1,700 views

    Anxiety and concern afflict us and cause worry. God does not want that for us. Peter speaks of casting our cares on the Lord, also the Psalms, and the Lord on earth spoke on the same matter in the Sermon on the Mount. Humbling ourselves under the MIGHTY hand of God is a necessity.

    MESSAGE IN 1PETER – NUMBER 5 – HUMBLE YOURSELVES AND THE MONSTER OF ANXIETY – 1Peter 5:6-7 [A]. INTRODUCTION – STRENGTH AND DEPENDENCE The strength of youth is most evident when the body is at the prime of its physical development.

    A Perfect Christmas - Part 2 Series

    Promise made, promise kept. When you hear these words, you can draw an arch from the Old Testament to the New Testament. For the Old Testament is the promise made, and the New Testament is the promise kept.

    Each Sunday in the month of December, we are looking at ancient predictions from Isaiah, an Old Testament prophet concerning the coming Messiah. Isaiah provides for us a trilogy of predictions about Jesus 700 plus years before His birth. This trilogy provides us with the ingredients of what the ...read more

    The Church Does Not Enter The Tribulation – Reasons That Prove It – Part 4 Of 4 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 25, 2024
     | 899 views

    Earlier I wrote a three part series on why the Church can not be in the Tribulation that is coming. Here is a Part 4. Jesus has borne the wrath against sin on my behalf at Calvary so there is no way He sends us into God’s coming wrath in the Tribulation.

    THE CHURCH DOES NOT ENTER THE TRIBULATION – REASONS THAT PROVE IT – PART 4 OF 4 Earlier back I wrote a three Part series on this subject that is on SermonCentral in the Series on “ESCHATOLOGY, RAPTURE, BIBLE PROPHECY and CURRENT AFFAIRS”. I thought that was the end, but some more thoughts ...read more
