How To Dine Well Series

Contributed by John Gullick on Jun 2, 2014

A sermon that looks at Psalm 23 verse 5. God has prepared a table before it but we need to come to it in the right way. I have included more than I preached because I thought the extra illustrations would help others.

Ever run a marathon or made a major physical effort? When you finish a marathon you become desperate for a drink and a meal and indeed while you are running you mind is often going ahead of you that the banquet ahead of you is worth finishing the race for.

The Anti-Christ's Reign Of Terror

Contributed by Dave Kinney on Jul 4, 2005

Satan has already tried to attack God’s position in heaven and failed, so now he is about to try attacking God’s plan on earth. Chapter 13 describes in great detail the reign of anti-Christ up to his eventual doom at Armageddon.

The Anti-Christ’s Reign of Terror Chapter 13:1-18 There’s only 31/2 years left before Messiah come with His saints – that’s you and I! In this chapter there seems to be an interlude taking place - all is quite on the Jerusalem front with false peace and false security. Satan has already tried to ...read more

Stilling The Storm Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 27, 2021

In verse 39 we see the deity of Christ. Only God can rebuke the wind and calm the sea. The only reason Bible writers could put such contrasting pictures of Jesus side by side is because they were true. He was truly man, and truly God.

About 100 years ago an English clergyman named Whiting was sailing in the Mediterranean when a storm broke of unusual fury, and hurricane winds. The waves were like mountains, and they came crashing against the ship, and all on board felt doomed, for the life boats were useless in such a storm. ...read more

Hurricanes, Prayer And Faith

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 16, 2017

Many of us prayed against Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Jose. But they still happened. Why? Is it because none of us p had faith or too little faith? I believe the answer, from scripture, will be a surprise and an encouragement.

Hurricane’s Harvey, Irma and Jose. Many people, especially Christians, believe they are God’s judgment on the US because of sin. Predictably, the sins most Christians identify are same sex marriage, the homosexual lifestyle and abortion. None of these behaviors are the reasons why our country is ...read more

What Is The Source Of Temptation?

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 26, 2023

The sermon title asks, What is the Source of Temptation? Just who is it who lures us into sin? We immediately want to say Satan and blame him. We say, “the devil made me do it,” but the answer is a bit closer to home. Thankfully, the solution is as close as prayer.

For the next few weeks I would like to talk about temptation. What is it that tempts you? Is it food? We all have a favorite food. We get a whiff of it, and our mouth starts watering. It's so tempting. The urge to take a bite of cake may not necessarily be a bad thing, but we're often ...read more

Separation

Contributed by Lou Nicholes on Apr 12, 2005

Separation from the ungodly is a basic Bible doctrine. Verses 14 and 15 of this chapter are often applied to various sorts of alliances such as mixed marriages, improper business associations and religious fellowship. The idea of the unequal yoke comes f

THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: It is often argued that we should stay in the midst of churches and bodies whose sins and follies we deplore, in the hope of saving them for God and mankind. Such reasoning has a good deal of force in the first stages of decline. A strong protest may arrest error and ...read more
