    Jesus The Controversialist Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Apr 17, 2023
     | 2,141 views

    Mark portrays Jesus as strong and bold as He dealt with spiritual controversies "head on." In this section of Mark, he grouped together four incidents that showed how Jesus faced the controversies and taught the truth. We need to ask ourselves if we are more like Jesus or the Pharisees.

    A. Let me begin with a question: when you try to picture Jesus in your mind, how do you picture Him? 1. Do you picture Him being gentle, meek and loving? Certainly, He was all those things. 2. But Jesus also had other characteristics and other sides to Him. 3. When we read the Gospel accounts, ...read more

    From before the dawn of human history Lucifer, Satan, the Devil whatever name you decided to use has made his intention clear he desires to be worshipped as God. The focus of our worship is without a doubt to God and Him alone.

    I recently put a post on the Edgewood Facebook page: “Knowing that it is God who draws you to Himself in salvation, could you share what method or means God used to bring you to faith in Christ?” Here are some of the responses… • A beautiful Christian mother! • When our second child was born ...read more

    Doing Christian things doesn't make you a Christian.

    Many years ago, I visited someone in the hospital whom I had never met before. He was a member of the church I pastored but had not gathered for a service in years. After introducing myself I looked for a way to have a spiritual conversation with him. From all the cussing he was doing, I was ...read more

    The Holy Communion Eucharist is at the center of Christian worship.

    In Leviticus 6:9-13, we are cautioned to Not Let our light go Out in three ways as illustrated through recognizing first, the: 1) Perpetual Presence of God (Leviticus 6:9-10), 2) Preventing Spiritual Extinguishment (Leviticus 6:11-12) and 3) Perseverance in Christ's Light (Leviticus 6:13)

    Leviticus 6:8–13.8 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 9 “Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering. The burnt offering shall be on the hearth on the altar all night until the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it. 10 And the priest shall put on ...read more

    In this sermon I will be preaching on the warning God gave to the church at Ephesus, “NEVERTHELESS, I HAVE SOMEWHAT AGAINST THEE.”

    When Religion Collides With Revelation

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 8, 2025
     | 145 views

    Cain and Abel reveal two spiritual systems: self-made religion or grace-filled revelation. God accepts only the worship shaped by surrender to His revealed way.

    Some of the most defining moments in Scripture arrive without fanfare. No thunder. No angels. No miracles that split seas or shake mountains. Just a simple scene, described with almost startling brevity, that quietly reveals the inner architecture of the human heart. The story of Cain and Abel in ...read more

    God’s mercy meets us in our deepest failures, offering forgiveness, cleansing, and restoration when we honestly confess and turn to Him with humble hearts.

    If you’ve ever sat in the quiet and felt the ache of regret—the kind that whispers, “How did I end up here?”—you’re in good company. If you’ve replayed a conversation you can’t unsay, a click you can’t undo, a glance that went too far, a promise you didn’t keep, you’re not alone. The Bible doesn’t ...read more

    Friend, you made it. Another week of noise, news, and nagging worries, and here you are—hungry for a word from Heaven. Maybe your heart feels thin.

    Trusting Jesus’ word brings healing and hope; faith in His authority, not our worthiness or understanding, invites His miraculous power into our lives.

    Friends, perhaps you walked in today with a knot in your stomach and a prayer under your breath. Maybe the doctor’s words still echo. Maybe the bill is bigger than your paycheck. Maybe the bedroom is quiet and the tears come louder at night. What if the miracle you need is as close as a word from ...read more
