Blinded By Bitterness Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 11, 2023

Jonah was a bitter man. The question is - why was he bitter, and why was it wrong for him to harbor his resentment of Nineveh?

Most of us have heard the story of Jonah and the whale. We’ve heard how God told Jonah to go the evil city of Nineveh and warn them to repent of their wickedness… or perish. But Jonah didn’t want to go so he got on a boat and went entirely the other direction because he believed he could run from ...read more

Contributed by Craig Fenton on Aug 1, 2002

Learn how to set big goals, keep them and become the person God wants you. This sermon won’t help you do that over night but applying the principles will certainly help you understand how to eventually.

BIG GOALS FOR GOD’S PEOPLE Philippians 3:14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. We must set ourselves a goal, make it a big one, and make it an upward one. Small goals are easy to reach; small goals are nowhere near as satisfying when you do reach it. ...read more

Directions For Dealing With A Difficult Death

Contributed by Steven Dow on Mar 14, 2006

This message was for the funeral of a 28-year-old woman who died of a drug overdose. I only met the family the night before the funeral. It should be easy to personalize and would work well with any difficult death such as suicide, ect.

Ultimate Worship - Ultimate Betrayal Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 16, 2012

It is at the darkest part of the night that a light shines the brightest. As we come to Mark 13 we see hope at the end of a terrible time in earth's history, when the lights will dim for the coming King. Then we see the path to that event beginning as the

We pick up the story from where we left off—Jesus’ disciples asked Him about the destruction of the Temple and, presumably, when He, as the Messiah, would take over the world. Jesus told them that many events would take place prior to His return but that His disciples should not focus ...read more

You Need Not Fear, God Is With You

Contributed by Ezekiel Ette on Oct 15, 2018

In our darkest night, when situations border on the shades of death, in our darkest hour when all help and comfort seems to flee, it is comforting to know that our weary and wandering spirit finds solace in the God of our salvation.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

A New Command

Contributed by Dr. Jeffrey Dukeman on May 13, 2019

Jesus on the last night of his life teaches his disciples to love one another. But the chief point of the text is the love of Jesus, a love that fulfills certain themes from the feast of Hanukkah (explicitly mentioned in John 10:22).

In thinking about our Gospel text this morning I was reminded of the movie 300. This 2006 movie was quite the success. Men liked the battles and I’ve been told that many women liked the abs. Whatever exactly the case, the film grossed about 450 million dollars. The movie is loosely based on the ...read more
