Acceptance Or Rejection Of John The Baptist And Jesus Christ Series

Contributed by Leighton (Lee) Vary on Mar 21, 2017

Jesus was saying that His own generation was a childish generation. By childish He meant perverse. They turned away from that which was right and good to that which was corruptible. They were just wrong-headed, mindless, and contrary.

Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Jul 23, 2017

Finding rest & contentment in uncertain times by following the invitation of Jesus to "Come to Me"

When we look at the first part of our text today we see Jesus talking to the people about living in a world of uncertainty, living a life of restlessness without peace and surety. “We played the flute and you didn’t dance, we played a funeral march and you didn’t weep and cry.” John Lived out in ...read more

Woes Upon The Privileged Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 29, 2017

God loves us, but we are not saved by His love; but by the death and resurrection of Christ, and by faith in Him. Jesus taught that faith and repentance are two sides of the coin, we call salvation.

Strength Through Humility

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Jul 7, 2014

The world thinks humility is pious weakness, whereas the bible says it is strength through submission, in fact true humility results in power, and honour and glory and majesty and strength. Who would not want that?

Sodom Would Have Repented

Contributed by Nelson Emeonu on Jul 14, 2014

We are living at the time of the end. History repeats itself. Sodom would have repented if they had what we have today or see what we are seeing.

Woes Upon The Privileged

Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 2, 2012

Today, we are told that humankind is getting better, and that we are also better. But that is not correct, since in the past, there were times when all men knew about God, and most men worshiped Him. That was true for generations after Adam left the Gard

Woes Upon the Privileged I have titled my message, “Jesus Pronounces Woes Upon the Privileged”. By privileged, I don’t mean those who are wealthy and prominent or those who are members of the upper classes; but I am referring to those who have had the privilege of hearing the ...read more

Hidden Things

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jul 3, 2011

God hides himself from the arrogant and reveals himself to the humble, childlike people who love him.

Imagine that you hear the roar of a car engine outside your door. As you look out, you see a red sports convertible, and in it is a young man with flowing hair and mirrored sunglasses. You can see that he is well tanned because he doesn’t have a shirt on — just shorts and flip flops. ...read more

A Generation Of Spoiled Children

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 19, 2018

As a church body of believers separated to God we have rejected God’s call to repentance collectively just as Israel as a nation has rejected Jesus as Messiah. We have gotten comfortable with our sin. So much so we don’t even call it sin anymore.

A Generation of Spoiled Children Matthew 11:16-30 Have you ever tried to please a group of children by suggesting they all pick out just one game or one activity to do together? Some of you may be dealing with this as part of your daily life and others may have to go back to your babysitting ...read more

Come Unto Me: An Exposition Of Matthew 11:16-30

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Jun 27, 2020

Jesus' invitation to come to Him has an "or else" component to it.

Come Unto Me: An Exposition of Matthew 11:16-30 The Gospel lectionary text selection for what is called Proper 9, seems at first to be quite odd. The selections are Matthew 11:16-20 and 11:25-30, leaving out what is between. The first selection talks about the people rejecting the message of both ...read more

Oy Vay--What Shall We Do? Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 11, 2020

It’s time for us to imitate the early Christians, not Ahaz. Political solutions are like bandages. They can stop the blood flow but they can’t cure the fundamental disease, which is loss of faith in God, and disobedience to His commandments.

Does God Make Good All Bad Life Experiences? A Deep Exegesis Of Romans 8:28.

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Nov 19, 2019

. God Is Omniscient Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 9, 2021

God can see the future when we do His will, and He can see the future where we do not do His will. He can see the future where His name is honored through us, and the one where it is not.

Dr. Harold Bryson tells of the two boys who went to their pastor to request his advice on what they could do to help people.
