View From A Deck Chair

Contributed by Bob Joyce on Aug 31, 2007

A sermon on vision for a new year. This was written almost 10 years ago. Some of the illustrations may need to be update.

The passage that I am using for a text is one that, when you hear it, will sound familiar to you. It is like Psalm 23, John 3 or 1 Corinthians 13 ... we wonder what more can be said about it. It is a passage that, if you are not familiar with Scripture, you will assume you read it in a magazine, or ...read more

The Lamb Slain From The Foundation

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 19, 2024

Jesus’ sacrifice on Calvary didn’t just happen 2,000 years ago, but before time began. He's the Lamb slain from before time. Today, His blood is still speaking. In Rev. 5 He's seen as a wounded Lamb & in His 2nd Coming wears a vesture dipped in blood!

The Tragedy Of Departing From The Faith Series

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Feb 21, 2025

The Church: From Death To Life

Contributed by Riaan De Villiers on Oct 12, 2002

Everywhere we hear the Church is dead, but does that mean that we have to bury her?

From everywhere we hear the cry of the world that the Church is dead. People are leaving the Church because there is so little life left in the Church. I think if we can write an obituary about the Church, it will probably be as follows: For many years the Church was in a battle for survival. ...read more

Healing From Past Heartaches

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 10, 2024

Jesus has a title, and it’s the great physician. He is able and willing to heal us.

There is a broken path in life. A road many of us here have walked. It’s the road of perdition. It’s the road of destruction. But it doesn’t feel that way when we walk it, not at first at least. The road begins with a surrender. It’s a surrender that occurred in my heart when I had had too much. I ...read more

Salvation Comes From The Lord Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 16, 2022

Just like Jehoshaphat, one of the first emotions that grip us in the midst of any sort of crisis is fear. If you are being challenged with those huge problems that seem to overwhelm you and are wondering as to how you will overcome them, I pray that this word from the Lord will encourage you.

We read in Psalm 91:16, “With long life will I satisfy him, and make Him to behold My salvation.” (JPS) The last three verses in Psalm 91 are the very words of God. Our God is one who speaks to us. God promises that the one who trusts Him totally, will be completely satisfied in this life and God ...read more
