Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 14, 2021

Sleepwalkers may look awake, but they're asleep, even if they're driving a car! In this message we look at what spiritual sleepwalking is, the characteristics of such a person, and why it is so serious.

Giving Generously Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 14, 2023

You cannot out give God. You will never be able to match his matchless giving. But we can respond to his perfect gift of salvation in Jesus Christ by generous giving.

How do we transform our lives in the area of prayer and spiritual awakening? Well, the answer is found from a thorough study of revival in the Bible. When you do this study, you will find a connection between spiritual awaking of God’s people and giving. I want to point to examples in the Bible ...read more

Peter: An Unfaithful And A Forgiven Man

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Mar 4, 2025

Peter was a prominent Apostle who had a very close relationship with Jesus. He promised to be faithful to Jesus, even willing to die with Him. But then, Peter denied Jesus three times. How could he do that?

Let’s read Mark 14:66-72. I don't know how you feel when you just read the story of Peter's denial of Jesus. While preparing for this sermon, I felt sad, surprised, and disappointed in Peter. Why is that? Two weeks ago, we discussed how the relationship between a rabbi and his students was ...read more

A Cliffs Note Christmas Series

Contributed by Steve Ely on Sep 27, 2023

We Don’t Want To Hear It

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Oct 4, 2023

Koplitz John 18:28 Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium, and it was early; and they themselves did not enter into the Praetorium so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover. 29 Therefore Pilate went ...read more

The Innkeeper And His Guests Missed The First Advent Series

Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Nov 20, 2021

It would be tragic to leave Jesus out of Christmas 2021 because I am too busy or because I am so absorbed in my own little world. That’s what happened the First Christmas, and that same time have been happening in many homes Christmas after Christmas.

INTRODUCTION CUSTOM BLOCK Advent means the arrival; the appearance and that term is usually associated with someone who is notable. So, it is fair to say that those who lived in the times of the Old Testament were looking for the Advent (the coming, the appearance) of Christ. In fact, Advent is not ...read more

The Women Who Supported Jesus' Ministry

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Mar 13, 2022

God does not play favorites, not does He consider what societal norms are when He chooses His ministers.

The Women who Supported Jesus' Ministry Luke 8:1-3 Sometimes, a passage of Scripture gets overlooked because it is seen as simple background information to the narrative.

Stony The Road We Trod:

Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Apr 12, 2022

Jesus’ “going up” to Jerusalem is a public event, interpreted by Luke as a royal entry.

It is that “slash” day again—as in Palm/Passion Sunday—as in trying to capture two seemingly distinct moods and experiences in one act of worship. It is almost impossible to do, it seems. If we lean toward the Palm Sunday experience and emphasize the exuberance of the triumphal entry into ...read more
