    Jesus could have made his point with only one of these stories and yet he told all three that day. Why?

    OPEN: The boss of a big company needed to call one of his employees about an urgent problem with one of the main computers. He dialed the employees home telephone number and was greeted with a child’s whispered, "Hello?" The boss asked, "Is your Daddy home?" "Yes," whispered the small voice. ...read more

    Out of all the things that Luke must have heard from Mary, he has chosen only this one incident, perhaps because it reveals so much to us.

    A Study of the Book of Luke Sermon # 5 “The Boy Jesus” Luke 2:39-52 Initially when we look at the story recorded in the last section of the second chapter of Luke, there seems to be little of consequence, a part of the ...read more

    The Mass Deception Of "Left Behind"

    Contributed by Richard David on Jan 3, 2001
    based on 268 ratings
     | 12,445 views

    An exposition of the dangers of this new theology of a pre-trib rapture. A response to the growing popularity of the "Left Behind" series, even among secular audiences and the danger of deception that its widespread acceptance holds.

    As a young Christian, I was raised on “dispensationalism”, a term which comes from the Bible referring to God’s timing and how He works in different ways at different times. We had it all figured out, just like the Jews of Jesus’ day. (But wait, they missed it! Are we?) According to what is known ...read more

    Ruth, a pagan widow through her faith becomes the key to Israel’s future and to God’s plan of salvation for the world

    Today we continue our series on Heroes of Faith, characters from the Judges, though no longer from the book of Judges. But the setting of our story in that era is made clear in the opening verse of ch 1 of Ruth: "In the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land." Our author ...read more

    The 1st Sunday in advent is a time to focus on the second coming of Christ and making sure we are prepared.

    It’s hard to believe but we are already into the Christmas season, and I’m not talking about the shopping season that began on black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. I am referring to the Christian season we call Advent. As I’ve already mentioned we are in the first Sunday of Advent which ...read more

    Reflecting on Mary Magdalene’s visit to the tomb, we see her sorrow turn to joy upon seeing the risen Christ.

    April 8, 2012 John 20:10-18 Then the disciples went back to their homes, but Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot. They asked her, “Woman, ...read more

    The Leader And Prayer Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 20, 2015
     | 5,102 views

    Nehemiah was probably chosen for his position at court for his reliability, for his quick wits, for his initiative and probably for his grasp of palace politics but clearly he also had a deep spiritual maturity that shows itself as he turns to prayer.

    Have you ever looked at the great Christian leaders of our time and wondered what it was that gave them their success? Were they just natural leaders? Had they worked hard at their studies of management and leadership as so many young leaders today are taught to do? Or were they perhaps just the ...read more

    Christ’s work is finished, but He left us with important work to do, esp. sharing the good news about Him.

    Watching, Waiting, & Working (Don’t Just Stand There!) Acts 1:9-14 Intro: Have you ever seen something really spectacular?

     | 8,214 views

    How can God fill you up if you are not empty first? God allows emptiness in your life for one reason - You are empty - Now God has the opportunity to fill you up.

    I was assigned to retrieve box number 673 A. I took my little pink piece of paper with my assignment for the afternoon - find box #673 A, Humana Hospital, February 1970. I had just started to working at this medical file warehouse and so I naively thought that the boss was starting me off slow, I ...read more

     | 1,746 views

    False teachers will attempt to mess up the truth about Christ. Their primary goal is to deceive. God's word, however, declares who Christ is and what He has done. We can know the truth!

    We've been involved in a series of messages concerning what we can be sure of. We have found so far that we can be sure of God's forgiveness if we ask. And we can be sure of a relationship with God if we walk daily with Him. Today I want to take it one step further. Can we be sure of ...read more

    Who's Living In Your House?

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Jan 21, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 21,198 views

    In our text this morning, Jesus uses a strange illustration about demon possession to make a very important point about the problem of half-baked, external repentance. In this portion of the text, Jesus talks about an unclean spirit that has gone out of a person; but still seeking rest.

    TITLE: WHO’S LIVING IN YOUR HOUSE? SCRIPTURE: ST. MATTHEW 12:43-45 Have you ever tried to help a friend or family member that found themselves without a roof over their head and you reluctantly and against your better judgment allowed them to come and stay in your house until they were able to ...read more

    An update to a previous message preached on Easter.

    “His Coronation in Glory” Luke 24:50-53 Luke 24:50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. 51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. 52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with ...read more
