Measure Upon Measure – Curse – The Restoration Of God - Part 5 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 28, 2025

Sin produces cursing. Through the Fall in the garden of Eden, the serpent was cursed. Then the ground and creation was cursed. That is why life is so difficult in many ways. We trace that theme. Then the Law of Moses cursed the keeper, but Christ became a curse for sinners.

MEASURE UPON MEASURE – CURSE – THE RESTORATION OF GOD - Part 5 CHAPTER THREE - THE THIRD CONSEQUENCE The third CONSEQUENCE of man’s sin through the fall has resulted in a vast array of problems on this earth. It is bordering on the impossible with our confinement to the present world ...read more

He'll Do It Again

Contributed by Roger Griffith on Oct 18, 2000

When People Are Big And God Is Small

Contributed by Ervin Kimrey on Jun 14, 2005

What happens when we fear men more than God? Sounds silly doesn’t it. Why do people buy stuff they can’t afford, Why do we lie, Why don’t speak up agains wrong and the list goes on and on. Many times it is because we fear what someone will think of us.

Ministry Is Not Meant To Be A One-Man Show

Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Aug 28, 2019

Do you need help? We rarely like to think that we do. How did Moses respond when someone said that he looked like he needed some help. Moses’ example is a great reminder of the help that God provides for us in those whom God has placed around us in our church to carry out the ministry together.

“Do you need some help?” When someone asks you that question, what is your natural reaction? I think that our natural response might be a bit defensive, “No. I’ve got it. I’m fine” whether we really are or not. Why is that? There is a little part of us that doesn’t want to admit that we need ...read more

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Aug 4, 2022

“You’ve got to be kidding me?” Have you ever heard those words? I think I would be saying when I read Acts chapter 9. Acts chapter 9 is the conversion of Saul who held the robes of the men who stoned Stephen, the first martyr in Jerusalem. You going to use this guy? And God says, “yes”.

Take Notice And Care!

Contributed by Stephanie M. Stark on Sep 24, 2022

We’ve all been there…lean times…maybe some leaner than others, but we all know what it’s like to get creative with what you’ve got. However, I don’t think any of us have ever been forced to beg on the side of a street, and that is where this morning’s lesson begins.

Grace and peace to you from God, our creator, and our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ. Amen. Growing up I never knew how poor we actually were. When my mom made macaroni and cheese with ranch style beans, I thought it was because she was trying to be creative, and not because that was all there ...read more

The Candle Of Humanity – How Good Is Good? Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 26, 2022

Laws laid down by God for right and wrong determine the destiny of the human race, and of individuals. Only when man comes to the Light, and he is revealed for what he is in the true light of God, then he can understand who he truly is in the sight of God.

THE CANDLE OF HUMANITY – HOW GOOD IS GOOD? There is the light of a candle in every person relating to goodness. That light connects with the knowledge of good and evil. The good a person has, is measured against the standard of man for what is good and evil. That is why the world can say, “He ...read more
