The Capital Of Hell Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

I want to call your attention to the fact that Jesus says in verse 13 that the throne of Satan was in that city. He ends the verse by saying Satan lives there. So here is the city where Satan lives, and where he has his throne. This is none other than the capital of hell.

Is there any truth to the popular idea that hell is right here on earth? There were a lot of Minnesotans who believed it in Jan. of 1873. The morning of the 8th was beautiful and the snow was melting. Masses of people made plans to travel, visit, and shop. But about 4 in the afternoon the wind ...read more

Teach Us To Pray

Contributed by Dennis Fox on Jul 25, 2022

“Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.” That is the first line of the first prayer I can remember being taught as a child. Like any good parent, our Father teaches us to pray just like our moms and dad did.

Simeon Sees Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Nov 27, 2021

This Christmas, don’t just see a cute little baby in a cute little manger. Look to Jesus and see a sacrifice, a savior, and a stone to stand on.

Simeon Sees (Luke 2:22-35) Christmas is a time of surprises. There was a lady who was preparing her Christmas cookies. There was a knock at the door. She went to find a man, his clothes poor, obviously looking for some Christmas odd jobs. He asked her if there was anything he could do. She said, ...read more

The Christmas Spirit

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Dec 5, 2021

This Sunday we'll be looking into the real Spirit of Christmas and how God wants to overshadow us with Him to meet our greatest need, to solve our most insolvable problem, and to bring forth a victory in our lives that in our own strength we’ve been unable to achieve.

The Christmas Spirit Around Christmas time, there are a rash of Christmas special, but nothing replaces, for me, are the classics like “Miracle on 34th Street,” or “It’s A Wonderful Life.” But the one most people are familiar with is from the Novel by Charles Dickens entitled “A Christmas ...read more

Righteous By Faith

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Sep 14, 2017

Ask yourself, “Am I righteous?” Few people would answer with an unqualified “yes.” But if your answer is “yes,” and you believe that you are righteous through unblemished right living, I hope to show you righteousness lies elsewhere.

They're very plain and have only the two equations mentioned plus a few of the major points in the sermon.

Christmas Story Was In Unimpressive Surroundings - Yet A Spectacular Event

Contributed by Tim Baker on Dec 19, 2017

The birth of Christ was in an unimpressive city, with an unimpressive birthing room, with an unimpressive crib, with unimpressive visitors, for the most impressive event in human history. Why did Jesus start with such humble beginnings?

Help Me God, I'm Confused Series

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Oct 10, 2022

Faith That Works Miracles

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Nov 15, 2021

To receive our miracles, God expects a demonstration of our faith. Even when God appears to be silent, faith doesn’t walk away. Faith catches God at His word. Faith finds reasons to believe when there are reasons to give up.

Matthew 15:21-28 Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon.
