Jesus Teaches His Disciples (Part 2) Series

Contributed by David Owens on Sep 4, 2023

As Jesus continued to privately teach His disciples in Mark chapter 9, we see that He focused on teaching them about pride and prejudice. It was important for them and for us to learn about humility and tolerance.

Introduction: A. In last week’s sermon, we started a section in the Gospel of Mark where Jesus was privately teaching His disciples some very important lessons on discipleship. 1. The two lessons we explored last week had to do with prayer and the passion of Jesus. 2. In today’s sermon, we will ...read more

Silas Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Dec 31, 2021

Not everyone liked what Paul and Silas were doing, so they imprisoned them. Despite all the intricate and demanding things they experienced, they never complained. On the contrary, songs of praise were heard from the darkest dungeon where they were being held.

Silas Paul settled in Antioch, where he continued to work with the people to live a happy life by the gospel. However, Paul felt that the Holy Spirit was working in the Church, so that it was time to go out and spread the gospel of Jesus. So he went out to be a missionary, and on one of his ...read more

Can The Devil Cause A Born-Again Christian To Become Sick?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Dec 31, 2021

Many interesting explanations try to explain the reason for sickness

The most dominant one is that the devil causes it. In the New Testament, we read that the Apostle Paul had a 'thorn' that many believe was a sickness given to him by the devil (2 Cor 12:7). (I will address this in more detail shortly). There was also a woman who was bound/disabled by satan ...read more

Searching For Home

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 18, 2022

For many people, life seems dissatisfying. They are actually searching for home; but our true home is in heaven. Until we reach heaven, Jesus is our home. This is the expanded version of a funeral sermon I did called "Looking for Home."

Some say, “Home is where the heart is.” What is home? John Ed Pearce, long-time writer for the Courier-Journal, stated, “Home is a place you grow up wanting to leave, and grow old wanting to get back to.” I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Searching for Home,” and I’m addressing this topic ...read more

In The Palm Of Your Hand Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Feb 6, 2022

When you hold the Bible in your hand, you’re not just holding a book. When you open it and read it, you’re not just reading words. You’re not just taking in information. You are taking in life … still warm from the breath of God.

Does God Ordain/Allow Evil And Suffering?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Oct 12, 2022

Within the church, there is a belief that everything is under the direct sovereign control of God, therefore He ordains what satan and his minions do.

It is also believed that when people get sick or suffer horrible tragedies, it is the will of God because He "allowed/ordained" it. God is the Holy and transcendent one. He is sovereign, omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent and omnibenevolent. He knows all things past, present, and ...read more
