    Ephesus had many commendable qualities. Yet almost without notice the church began to slip and lose ground. It was not what they were doing that was the core of their problem. If they were to go forward the church needed to return to where they once were.

    The people of that day were unbelievably wicked, but was there a chance God would have spared them? Did God want to? And what can the flood tells us about the coming judgment at the end of time when Jesus returns?

    Commotion In Capernaum Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Mar 29, 2017
     | 11,194 views

    Jesus returned to Capernaum, creating quite a stir. Word spread that He was in the house and a multitude gathered. We have the opportunity to meet with the Master at any time for any need. As we come by faith, He responds to our need.

    Commotion in Capernaum Mark 2: 1-12 Following a season of ministry within the region of Galilee, Jesus has returned to Capernaum. Likely He is in the home of Simon Peter once again and it doesn’t take long for the crowds to begin gathering. The people in Capernaum were astonished at Jesus’ ...read more

     | 12,952 views

    A difference of opinion between them lead to each going his separate way. Barnabas went to Cyprus, and we hear no more of him in Acts. Paul remains the focus of attention as he returns to Galatia and then embarks on a new enterprise.

    We must be willing to live in harmony with one another. We are to bless those who persecute, return love for anger, show grace to all we encounter. It is what the Bible commands that we do … plain and simple.

    The Ten Commandments Part 11 Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,766 views

    Part 11 of this series discusses why this series was preached. We need to return to holiness by understanding that through Jesus Christ we were made holy and now it's up to us to live out who we are in Him.

    The Ten Commandments Part 11 Scriptures: First Peter 1:13-16; Matthew 7:3-5; Jude 20-23 This message is the conclusion of my series on the Ten Commandments. I believe God led me to do this series because being a Christian today has been so watered down that it does not carry the meaning that it ...read more

    Where Is The God Of Elijah?

     | 25,980 views

    Elisha returned alone after Elijah was caught up to heaven. As he approached the Jordan River he cried out "Where is the God of Elijah?" As we face challenges and obstructions today we may ask the same question.

    Where is the God of Elijah? Elisha was called by Elijah from what appears to have been a fairly affluent home 1Ki 19:19. He followed Elijah faithfully and humbly to the last. He had a firsthand view of Elijah’s later miracles and no doubt he heard graphic descriptions of the earlier ones. ...read more

    Whether we live to see the second coming of the Lord or are called home to Him at the end of our lives, we do not know the day or the hour of His return and we need to live in readiness, looking toward the appearing of the Lord.

    In the end of times, Israel can expect a huge battle and much suffering, but Christ will return to deliver them and rout the enemies, establishing His millennial kingdom of holiness. The glorious end is certain for Israel and the world. We trust Him.

    We started the book of Zechariah in OCT last year and we’re ending it today. The last oracle (chapters 12-14) talks about the future of Israel. • Everything is uncertain to the returnees in Zechariah’s time (520BC) but the future is certain to God; He planned it.

    Just days prior to the crucifixion, Jesus spoke to His disciples regarding the events surrounding the end times. While we cannot predict the day, nor the hour, we can see the stage being set for His return!

    Signs of the End (Part 1) Matthew 24: 3-14 Today I want to begin a study on what is known as the Olivet Discourse. Jesus spoke these words in His last days prior to the crucifixion in response to the disciples’ questions regarding His return and the end of the age. These verses have been ...read more

    Jesus speaks of our need to prepare for His return. We are encouraged to live lives of worship and devotion to God as we watch and wait for the Bridegroom. (This is part of our lectionary-based series for November 2017, "BE the Church.")

    Last Sunday we had a gender reveal party to find out if we’re having a boy or a girl in April. I was so convinced it was a boy, based on how different the first trimester had been this time around. But then, with friends gathered around, we popped a large black balloon with question marks all over ...read more

     | 1,344 views

    Jesus calls us to live with anticipation and readiness for His return. He reminds us that our Heavenly Father has prepared a wonderful inheritance for us—His kingdom—and that we should live in a state of vigilance and faithfulness.

    1. The Comfort of God's Pledge (Luke 12:32) Jesus begins with a word of reassurance: “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.” This is a comforting reminder that our Heavenly Father’s desire is to bless us with His kingdom. His love is ...read more

    Jesus Answers The Divorce Question Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Sep 11, 2023
     | 1,701 views

    When Jesus returned to His public ministry in Mark 10, the Pharisees tried to trap Him with a question about divorce. Jesus dealt with their question by directing them back to God's original design and intent in creation.

    A. In the last two sermons in our sermon series on the Gospel of Mark, we have been watching Jesus privately teaching His disciples some very important lessons on discipleship. 1. The topics He discussed with them were about prayer, the passion of Jesus, pride and prejudice. 2. I trust that we have ...read more

    The purpose of this passage is to show us that somethings belong to God. They are His. At minimum, 10% of what God gives to us should be returned to Him in thanks and as part of our worship. God doesn't want your leftovers.

    On the day of Jesus's return we will see him, in person, face to face. Until that great day, we are those who have not seen, yet believe. We are those who have not touched and seen and heard.

    There are some things about us that we just have, naturally. Think about how children look. Every child receives some features from his or her parents, like red hair or brown eyes or a certain shape of nose or chin. And sometimes we think faith is like that too. We say, “I’m pretty sure I have ...read more
