Sermons on Revelation 3:20-4:9:

To Him Who Sits On The Throne.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Mar 4, 2021

In 1861 there was in England a man by the name of Reginald Heber who composed a hymn that has always been a favorite of mine.  He used Isaiah 6:1-3 and Revelation 4:8-11, as the basis for this great hymn of the church.  The hymn is “Holy, holy, holy.”

The Remarkable Rainbow Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 9, 2021

There are rainbows everywhere, but the most amazing rainbow on record is the one the Apostle John saw in heaven. Here is the only permanent rainbow that exists. They fade so fast on earth, but this one is part of the furniture of heaven. It is part of the presence of God.

I never realized how many rainbows there are in the world, until our trip to the West Coast. We would get up early to travel before the Sun came up. When it did come up it was at out back, and it was at just the right angle when we went past the irrigation systems. The light of the Sun hit that ...read more

Nature And Worship Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 9, 2021

Nature is to be a source of constant messages that bring us out of self, work, and even play to worship the One who made it all. Day and night nature worships God as its Creator.

In our 5,536 mile trip to Santa Clara and back, we saw the incredible handiwork of God like we never saw it before. The Grand Canyon was so awesome and scary to me with my fear of heights. All of my pictures have the railing in them because I could not get close enough to lean over it. We saw the ...read more

The Need Of The Church Series

Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 8, 2020

If you sat down and asked what does the church need today, what would be your answer? A lot of times we think of the material things, but God is more interested in the people that make up the church. What are the needs of the people? I hope to answer that question for us all.

The 2nd and 3rd chapters of Revelation, tell us of real churches in real places. These churches also are representative of different ages of church history. The Laodicean church is a description of this church age. The church that is neither cold nor hot. A church that was rich and said it had need ...read more

Part 1 - On The Holiness Of God Series

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Feb 8, 2020

A call to worship begins with a return to understanding that we worship a holy God. The realization of God’s character and holiness reveals our true self. His majesty is life-changing and gives meaning to our life, despite our shame.

6 In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one called to ...read more

Laodicea: Wealthy And Yet Bankrupt

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 16, 2020

The church in Laodicea enjoyed financial prosperity and the finer things in life. However, Jesus saw a church that had succumbed to complacence and apathy. They were wealthy, but facing spiritual bankruptcy.

Laodicea – Wealthy and yet Bankrupt Revelation 3: 14-22 Today we come to the seventh and final church Jesus addressed in the book of Revelation. The church in Laodicea had been heavily influenced by the culture in which it was situated. The people there were very wealthy, creating an attitude of ...read more

Greeting Fellow Believers Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Nov 17, 2020

Our loyalty to Christ and other believers should supersede all other factors. We should receive and support every other Christian regardless of race, denomination, political party, or any other affiliation. This message expounds Philippians 4:10-23.

For the last two messages we have addressed Paul’s expression of gratitude for the gift the Philippians had sent him. That is found in Philippians 4:10-20. There we discovered a wealth of revelation that has filled our hearts with peace and confidence. Those two previous messages focused on three ...read more

Getting In Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

So often we hear stories about dying and coming to the golden gate and dickering with Peter whether we should be allowed in or not. This would be a tragic mistake to wait until you die to find out if you can get in.

Everybody wants to get in on the action. Back in 1982 a crowd began to form one Monday afternoon in December at the River Front Coliseum in Cincinnati. By the time the police arrived at 3:00 P.M., hundreds of fans had gathered at the doors, even though they would not open until 7:00 P.M. The rock ...read more

Relatively Impossible Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

Paul said he could do all things through Christ who would strengthen him. Nothing is impossible if Jesus wills it. He wanted John to come up an see heaven, and in a split second John was in heaven.

God expects us to do the impossible. He expected Luther H. Bridgers to play the role of Job and keep on singing. He was a young pastor who was away in another city for a series of meetings. The phone rang late one night and a friend had to tell him of the tragic news. Fire had swept through ...read more
