     | 40,468 views

    The day between Good Friday and Easter Sunday rarely gets much attention. This sermon seeks to address Holy Saturday’s importance in an imaginative and emotive manner. It was first preached for a Good Friday service and is crafted for such an audience.

    It’s Saturday – But Is It Finished? Luke 23: 54 Throughout the season of Christ’s birth we celebrate Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany. Three months later we commemorate Ash Wednesday, Lent, Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter. But what do we call the Saturday that falls ...read more

    The Resurrection - The Devoted Women At The Tomb – Resurrection Message For Easter – Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 29, 2023
     | 1,664 views

    How could the disciples be so thick that they would not believe the resurrection? Disbelief translated all the truth of the women’s testimony and joy to nonsense. As the fact of the resurrection spread, joy and excitement replaced the sorrow and defeatism they all had.

    THE RESURRECTION - THE DEVOTED WOMEN AT THE TOMB – RESURRECTION MESSAGE FOR EASTER – PART 2 We continue to examine this loyal group of women who went to the tomb early on Sunday morning carrying their prepared spices but when they arrived, the tomb was open and the body of Jesus was missing.

    Jesus knows our suffering, calls us to courageous faithfulness amid trials, and promises eternal life to those who endure with Him.

    Some of us walked in today with hearts that feel threadbare. Bills stack up. Doctors call back. Friends pull away. Tears fall in the dark, and worries pace the floor at 3 a.m. You wonder, Does Jesus see this? Does He know my name? Does He care about my pain? Smyrna asked the same questions. They ...read more

    The World Wide Flood fortells the coming World Wide Judgement of fire.

    A Glimpse of Coming Disaster Genesis 6 There has been a tremendous attack on the biblical account of Noah and the Flood in Genesis 6. It has been called a myth, just a local flood in the Mesopotamian region, etc. But why? Why all the concern. To put it simply if it is true, and it is, ...read more

    The story of Nicodemus helps us see that until the truth of Jesus dawns on us, we remain in the dark.

    Because of Daylight Savings Time, some of you probably feel like you got up an hour early today. Some of you may be here and not even know it because you are not awake yet!

    God's Power Toward Us Who Believe

    Contributed by Mike Bryant on Mar 3, 2021
     | 4,329 views

    Man has always sought unlimited power. God has given believers just that. What is this power that God has given us, and how do we avoid squandering it?

    I) The search for unlimited power has been constant theme of history. A) Politically, we see this in attempts throughout history to rule the world. For example, Alexander the Great ruled Greece at the age of sixteen and soon set out on a conquest that saw him ruling most of the known Western ...read more

    You and I are created in God’s image. God loves us and knows what worries us the most. He knew in eternity past, we would worry about death, life after death and the death of our love ones.

To compensate for this, I included 3 Christmas carols/hymns in the sermon). OPEN: Someone sent an e-mail that made a list of Christmas Signs they’d seen in their ...read more

    When we view children as a curse rather than a blessing we are under God’s curse. One reason that is true, I believe, is that children reveal whether we have a servant’s heart or a selfish heart. A selfish heart is more concerned about getting away from
