    50 years have passed since Israel had returned from Babylonian exile.Walls repaired, Temple rebuilt, nation restored. Nation was hurting and needing a fresh word from God. They had forgotten their first love.

    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

    A Loving Father Series

     | 9,151 views

    Father's Day: The father should be the hero of this parable. He had been watching and waiting with love and patience. Like the father who was looking for his son to return, the Lord is waiting for us to come home to Him.

    Luke chapter fifteen contains three parables. The third parable, which we are going to look at this morning, is sometimes called, “The Parable of the Prodigal Son.” Commentator William Barclay says, “For centuries the third parable has been called ‘The Parable of the Prodigal Son.’ It would be ...read more

    Remember Lot's Wife

    These scriptures refer to the second coming of Jesus Christ. Sooner than most of us believe, Christ will return to catch his bride away. A warning is found here to those who are not prepared to stand before the judgment seat of God.

    If we are to have a part in God's Kingdom, if we expect to be saved from the judgment of God, we must be prepared. To expect heaven to be our home one day, doesn't come by chance. Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people. John 14. There will be no time for preparation at the end of ...read more

    Believing Without Seeing

    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

    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 this Father's Day, we honor all fathers and inspire them to be the best they can be through the strength of Christ. We delve into the story of the Prodigal Son, not only focusing on the son's return, but also on the unwavering faith of the father who waited.

    Today, we honor fathers and trust that, through faith, we can be the best we can be with the strength of Christ. In this sermon, we will not only look at the return of the Prodigal son but also the faith of the waiting father. In Luke 15:11-31, Jesus tells a parable about a father and his two sons. ...read more

    As followers of Christ, we find hope in the promise of His return and the renewal of all things. But what about our present circumstances? The Bible provides numerous instances of God's restorative power, demonstrating His glory and our benefit.

    As believers, our hope rests in the promise that Christ will come back for us and make all things new. But what about the present? The Bible shows us how God restores and makes things new for His glory and our good. 1. 2 Kings 8:1-6 - The Woman's Land Restored: Elisha tells a woman to leave her ...read more

    A Word Concerning Confrontation Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 1, 2021
     | 2,204 views

    Most of us have, at some point, desired to get even with those who have wronged us. There is something within our human nature that desires to “return the favor.” These attitudes are contrary to God's will for our lives.

    A Word Concerning Confrontation Matthew 5: 38-42 As we continue our study in the Sermon on the Mount, we come to a passage that we all have heard a portion of quoted many times in our lives: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. This is often quoted in anger, or in a desire to repay a wrong ...read more

    Jesus Answers The Divorce Question Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Sep 11, 2023
     | 1,183 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

    David returns with his 600 men to find the Amalekits have ransacked his town (Zicklag), and carried off his and all his men's families and possessions. What a tragedy! How did David respond?

    When Tragedy Strikes 1 Samuel 30 1. The Source of _Tragedy_ (v.1-6a). A. David was repaid for his raiding the Amalekites in chapter 27 by their raiding Ziklag, where he and his men kept their families. B. David would have felt alone.

    The Lord’s Vineyard Series

    The vineyard is symbolic of God’s kingdom on earth, and believers are responsible for tending the vineyard until Christ returns. Those who reject the vineyard owner's Son (Jesus) will be driven out of the vineyard and have no place in it.

    This evening we are going to look at what is called the “Parable of the Wicked Vinedressers.” Our main text will be taken from Mark chapter twelve; however, before we look at Mark, let’s turn to Isaiah chapter five. In Isaiah we find a parable called the “Parable of the Vineyard,” which is ...read more

    Eternal Destinations

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 27, 2022
     | 1,780 views

    In Matthew 25, Jesus talks about two eternal destinations. At the Second Coming, the King Himself will return and destroy all His enemies and establish His kingdom on the earth. That will be the Millennial Kingdom. The Jews will finally recognize Jesus as their Messiah.

    Notice two categories that Jesus mentions: 1. The sheep (saved) Sheep may be stupid, but they are also loyal and will quickly follow their leader. Read John 10:1-5. Sheep will recognize the voice of their shepherd, and they will not follow someone who might be imitating the shepherd. 2. The ...read more
