    Is Official/Formal Church Membership In A Local Church According To Scripture? – Part 4 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 7, 2025
     | 300 views

    This is the final part and we look at a numbers of issues here as well as two statements from Internet sites on why membership is important. Over and over I am opposing this notion that commitment is connected with official membership. It is judgemental and untrue. I hope this is of some value.

    IS OFFICIAL/FORMAL CHURCH MEMBERSHIP IN A LOCAL CHURCH ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE? – PART 4 We have been looking at some passages of scripture from Paul’s writings and in vain, do we look for even the slightest suggestion that a church has official membership that discriminates among the Christians ...read more

    Thanking God for our God-fearing fathers, mothers, and grand- and great-grandparents, who, living and departed, instilled in us the faith.

    In Western Christianity, this day (July 26th) is celebrated as the “feast of grandparents.” This feast began with the earliest church traditions, which marked the maternal grandparents of Jesus, Joachim, and Anne. A little bit later, in about the third and fourth centuries, the universal church ...read more

    Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods Series

    America has turned its back on the God of the Bible. There are so many religions and beliefs in our country today. The only God America has rejected is the God of the Bible. The Ten Commandments are the very soul of America. This is why the Ten Commandments are so important to the people of God.

    If you have your Bible, turn to Exodus chapter 20. Today, we are going to begin a sermon series called, "The Ten Commandments: The Soul of America", starting with the message, "Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods". America has turned its back on the God of the Bible. There are so many ...read more

    Back To The 1960s Down Memory Lane, Then Back To The Present! Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 31, 2025
     | 139 views

    How much has changed! We take a journey back to the 1960s to see how songs expressed that generation. Who remembers those times? This message looks too, at the present, and some similar concerns but in a different dress. The word of God is our answer to pessimism and hopelessness.

    BACK TO THE 1960s DOWN MEMORY LANE, THEN BACK TO THE PRESENT! This article may be a trip down memory lane but in hindsight, it reflects the present. Some of us are still around to remember the lyrics presented here. Music usually reflects the atmosphere of the time, more so among the younger ...read more

    Consequences – You Don’t Avoid Them Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 13, 2025
     | 303 views

    God has ordained that everything in this universe has consequences. That is why a whole network of scientific laws operate to make all things function. Consequences apply to human behaviour and we look into these. Consequences apply to Christians as well.

    CONSEQUENCES – YOU DON’T AVOID THEM [A]. INTRODUCING THE SUBJECT – All of us know that if we trip on a set of stairs, we will tumble down. If we drive too fast around a sharp road bend, we are likely to skid off the road. If a branch separates from a very tall tree, it falls down and hits ...read more

    The sermon will explore the story of Jesus appearing to two disciples after his resurrection, emphasizing that his teachings and blessings are for all believers, not just the chosen few.

    An important look at our first act of obedience to Jesus

    The act of water baptism (being immersed in water in response to receiving salvation) is a very important first step in the Christian life.

    We were created for a purpose. This sermon shows the similarities between the Christian and a pencil.

    The Pencil Often times Jesus used commonplace things to teach great biblical truths. In Luke 12 Jesus uses the Birds of the air and the Lilly’s of the Field to teach that God is in control and that he will take care of his children. With that in mind I would like us to consider tonight the ...read more

    Mark 2:1-12 PROPOSITION: Jesus has authority to forgive sins. OBJECTIVE: To realize the authority of Jesus. The first story in Mark 2 is a style of writing pretty much unique to Mark.
