    Caring God

    When we touch upon the love of GOD, we plunge ourselves into an ocean whose depths have never been fathomed. It is all-embracing, all-inviting, all-supporting, and all-supplying.

    Opening illustration: For thousands of families in Kenya, seven cows are more valuable than a girl’s future. Those cows, a typical bridal dowry in Maasai culture, prove so tempting that most fathers in rural areas decide their daughter’s education will end and marriage begin by age 13. ...read more

    IN ROMANS 1, PAUL SHOWS HOW SINFUL HUMANITY IS WITHOUT THE TRUTH OF SCRIPTURES. IN THIS STUDY, PAUL CONTRASTS AND SHOWS HOW SINFUL ARE THOSE WHO KNOW THE SCRIPTURE BUT ARE BOUND BY THEIR SINFUL NATURE

    Romans 2:1-16—Guilt & Hypocrisy of the Religious 1. Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever you art that judges: for wherein you judges another, thou condemns yourself; for you that judges do the same things. 2.

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,884 views

    The following sermon on Colossians 1:15-20 is going to examine Apostle Paul’s response to a heresy that broke out in Colossae concerning Christ’s identity in hope that we might come to associate the name “Jesus’” as the second person of the Godhead.

    More than a Name Colossians 1:15-20 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 A “name” is “a word or set of words by which a person, animal, place, or thing is known, addressed, or referred to.” Upon birth the name Christians parents choose for their child often depends on ...read more

    Where The Holy Spirit Dwells (Trinity Sunday)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jun 8, 2022
     | 2,729 views

    The Bible never specifically mentions the Holy Trinity but the Bible does mention how God works in ways that go beyond our ability to understand because God is infinite and we are finite. This sermon intends to explain why Trinity Sunday is such a big deal.

    WHERE THE HOLY SPIRIT DWELLS Text: I Corinthians 6:19 - 20 1 Corinthians 6:19-20  Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,  (20)  for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. ...read more

    This glory exposure, this visible presence of God’s glory was seen in a cloud during the Exodus, and in Solomon’s Temple after the Ark of the Covenant was put in it.

    Glory Exposure. Exodus 24:12-14NIV. Jenny and I love the ocean, the Grand Sea. I think we could just both hang out and watch the tides turn. I surly wouldn’t mind living closer to the Ocean one day! People say that if you’ve ever sat on the edge of a ...read more

     | 2,736 views

    A wise Christian leader once said, "In essentials, unity; in differences, liberty; in all things, charity [love]." For any church to succeed there must be unity.

    Unity In the Body Text: Eph. 4:1-6 Introduction 1. Illustration: There can be union without unity: tie two cats together by their tails and throw them over a clothesline. There you will have union, but certainly not unity! 2. A wise Christian leader once said, "In essentials, unity; in ...read more

    Forget Me Not

     | 545 views

    To keep faithful to our faithful God we set aside time to remember. We must regularly turn our attention back to God, up to God, forward to God to keep our side of the covenant agreement.

    DO NOT FORGET God of our fathers, known of old – Lord of our far flung battle line Beneath whose awful hand we hold dominion over palm and pine Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, lest we forget - lest we forget! About 100 years ago, the British poet Rudyard ...read more

    Simeon: A Lesson In Waiting & Obedience

    Contributed by Tj Long Jr on Jan 1, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,278 views

    Simeon and Anna are faithfully waiting but without the obedience of Joseph and Mary, the promises of God would've been delayed. We must be diligent as disciple-makers because to bring people the good news, to bring Jesus to them.

    Christmas is over and now we have 358 days until Christmas 2024. If I was a child I’d be a little depressed about having to wait so long Christmas to come back around again. As I was growing up there were many things I felt like I waited on; a girl to like me, for me to be taller, for me to get my ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 28, 2022
     | 2,288 views

    This message looks more at the days of Noah, and the earth's violence and conditions then. Comparisons are made with Noah's times and that of the Tribulation. Jesus Christ is our Ark of salvation and safety. What is the meaning of the double pitching?

    NOAH PART 3 – THE DAYS OF NOAH - AND THE ARK IS SECURITY This is Part 3 of Noah. Part 1 looked at the account of the flood, the people and the ark. Part 2 looked at a worldwide or local flood.

    No matter who we are, or what we have done, we all need Jesus. We need the solid foundation that only He can provide. Anything else is sinking sand.

    Alba 7-20-2025 THE ROCK OF OUR SALVATION I Corinthians 10:1-4 This morning we sang the old hymn, Rock of Ages. There is a story told about what inspired the words of that hymn.

    19. The Kingdom Parables – The Fifth – The Hidden Treasure – Part 3 Of 4 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 14, 2025
     | 91 views

    The Parable of the Hidden Treasure and its true meaning have been considered in the past two messages. Today we examine the church at Sardis and see how strategic that is to the Protestant Reformation. Sardis means “escaping” and that applied to the Reformation.

    19. The Kingdom Parables – The Fifth – The Hidden Treasure – Part 3 of 4 This study continues. We expand on some of the previous material and then open up a study on the church that matches the fifth parable. There is a challenge in looking at that Revelation church. [H].
