Voluntary Slavery Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

Paul was happy to be a slave to his Master, the Lord Jesus Christ. The first thing he says in this letter to identify himself is that he is a servant of Jesus Christ. The word for servant is doulos, which is the word for slaves all through the New Testament.

In the early days of Israel if a man got into debt and could not repay he was not sent to prison, but was allowed to become the slave of his creditor. But it was not to be a permanent situation. When the 7th year came he would be liberated and be free to be his own master again, and begin to ...read more

God's Human Nature Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

The full Gospel is Christmas and Easter, and that Jesus was fully man and fully God. He was the God-Man. If you take either one out of the church year you have destroyed it, and if you take either of the natures of Jesus out of him you have destroyed the Gospel and the Jesus of the New Testament.

Superman has always been popular as a comic book character, and I can remember racing across the snow in a blizzard to trade comic books with a friend in order to get some new adventures of this heaven-like hero of humanity. In our day now the movies of superman have made millions because they ...read more

The Gospel Of God's Promise Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

You cannot have faith without a promise. Faith has to have some ground to stand on, and that ground is the promise of God. Standing on the promises of God is the theme song of the saints of all time.

Paul Robeson was a famous American Negro singer back in the 30's and 40's. It was announced in London that his great singer would broadcast a concert from Russia where he was then living. The people of London filled the large concert hall to standing room only waiting to hear this ...read more

Called To Obedience Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

If you study all of the heroes of the faith, you discover that the virtue they all had in common was the virtue of obedience. They were different in many ways, but they were all obedient to what they knew was the will of God. Obedience was the key virtue in the Bible and still is today.

Colonel Wilbur Rogers was ordered to let loose an artillery barrage in a World War I battle. He was right there on the battlefield, and he could see what the commander could not see. If he fired as ordered he would shell 10,000 American infantry just ahead of him. He refused to obey an order that ...read more

Established By Encouragement Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

There are disappointments in serving Jesus, that is why Paul needed the encouragement of others, and that is why we all do. The only way any Christian can be obedient over the long hall, and not get weary in well doing, is to be encouraged by other believers.

One of the greatest heroes in Minnesota history was James Root of White Bear. He was the engineer on the No. 4 Limited the day it pulled out of Duluth heading for St. Paul on Sept. 1, 1894. Before that day ended he saved the lives of nearly 400 people. Unknown to him and his passengers they were ...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

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.

Benefits Of The Resurrection

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Apr 10, 2023

By rising from the dead, Jesus proved His authority and power to break the bonds of sin and to assure forgiveness and eternal life to all who accept His gift of salvation. Securing our victory over death raised up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

Benefits of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - Today we celebrate Resurrection Sunday, the day Jesus Christ raised from the dead, not Easter, which has nothing to do with Jesus Christ, the Resurrection, or anything Holy no matter how people try to spin ...read more

Real Christianity: Clothing, Buildings, Money, & Extravagance

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 3, 2021

There is a lot of stuff out there claiming to be Christian, when it's not really Christian. It's a difficult situation for any real Christ follower. On one side you have a culture and society growing progressively more hostile toward Christian values.

The Passion For The Gospel Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on May 31, 2021

We see Paul's concern for the saints in Rome whom he has not met, his compassion for the lost, and his conviction in the efficacy of the Gospel.

We had a good start to the book of Romans, with the message of the Gospel succinctly expressed. • Having introduced himself, Paul gave us concise statements of the Gospel of God. • The good news has to do with Jesus Christ, the descendant of David by birth and declared the Son of God by His ...read more

"Our Identity In Christ (V): We Are Servants Of God”

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Jun 2, 2021

Knowing who we are in Christ is vital. Without it, we can be confused, lost, and have no meaning and purpose in our lives, and therefore, fail to accomplish God's plans for us. This is the fifth/last sermon series on "Our Identity in Christ."

We have learned our four identities in Christ. Today I will share the fifth and the last one, which is we are servants of God. Many Christians think servants of God are Christians who receive special calls from God to carry certain missions whether to be missionaries, pastors, or teachers. Is that ...read more

A Letter For All Christians

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jun 7, 2021

Have you ever wanted to go to Rome? Possibly not. But if you did, there is a website called Vrbo that rents houses, condos, apartments or studios to stay in if you go. The apostle Paul wanted to go to Rome, but when he got there he didn't have the fine accommodations that Vrbo advertises.

The Importance Of Personal Evangelism

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 14, 2021

I want you to adopt 3 attitudes to make you a difference-maker and a life-changer. I want you to see three “I am” statements right here: I am under obligation," “I am eager," and I am not ashamed.”

What you have just seen is incredible. This is a public baptism in a nation in SE Asia where other believers have been run out of their village and their homes burned to the ground.
