What's A Preacher To Do? Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jun 20, 2022

After Paul's customary, brief introduction, he moved right into the challenges facing Timothy in his ministry in Ephesus. We can distill Paul's advice to Timothy down into four directives.

Introduction: A. Ministry can be a challenge for ministers and for members – How’s that for an understatement? B. But imagine seeing this “want ad” for a preacher: 1. “Must have experience as a shepherd, CEO, office manager, educator, salesman, diplomat, referee, writer, theologian, politician, ...read more

Cut It Out

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 21, 2023

We are always trying to blame our sin on something else - on someone else, on society, on circumstances. But Jesus says that what makes us sin is part of ourselves.

I stopped watching TV news three or four years ago. But you have to know what's going on, somehow, so there are a few sources I've come to trust. But guess what? They're just as depressing as TV news. Because what is actually happening is worse than what you might imagine if you stayed ...read more

We Are Born To Rule Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021

Here in Psa. 8:6 it says clearly, "You made him the ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet." Man is made the ruler of nature, and he is made king of creation by the Creator Himself.

David did not need a telescope to consider the heavens and the wonders of God's creation. What he could see with the naked eye left him in awe at the majesty of God. Today we go far beyond the vision of David, not only into the macrocosm of the vast universe, but because of new instruments ...read more

David In His Old Age Series

Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Mar 5, 2021

First Kings 1:1-10 shows us what happens when we wrongly desire preeminence.

Come To Me

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Mar 14, 2021

We like to be invited to things. It makes us feel good to be on the guest list. It tells you the person cares and wants you to be a part of what they're doing. Jesus gave an invitation in Matt. 11:28-30. Let's take a look at this invitation and see what we can learn.

Hagar, A Mother Sees God Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Hagar was an Egyptian servant girl in the house of Abraham and Sarah. She was a comparative nobody, but she became a somebody that God used to change history by her motherhood.

Sarah was the oldest mother in the Bible, and likely the oldest woman to ever have a baby. She was 90 years old when she gave birth to Isaac. This is not a record many are striving to match or break, so it is likely to stand for all time. Abraham is the father of Judaism, Islam and Christianity. ...read more
