Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jul 8, 2024

Salt had a lot of uses in the ancient world. Which one of them did Jesus have in mind when he used the analogy of salt and light? This message will give you both insight and motivation on how to be a good witness at work and in the world.

Matthew 5:13-19 "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?

Unmoved By The Cross?

Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 24, 2023

The Roman soldiers who crucified Jesus were witnesses to the greatest event in human history but didn't know it. If we're not careful, the same thing can happen to us and we will never realize the love of Jesus!

UNMOVED BY THE CROSS? John 19:23-24 INTRODUCTION A. OPENING STORY 1. Two men had indulged in every sinful activity imaginable while away on a business trip together. In the morning, as they were making their way to the airport, one man challenged the other. He said, “I dare you to go over to ...read more

The Leader And Prayer Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 20, 2015

Nehemiah was probably chosen for his position at court for his reliability, for his quick wits, for his initiative and probably for his grasp of palace politics but clearly he also had a deep spiritual maturity that shows itself as he turns to prayer.

Have you ever looked at the great Christian leaders of our time and wondered what it was that gave them their success? Were they just natural leaders? Had they worked hard at their studies of management and leadership as so many young leaders today are taught to do? Or were they perhaps just the ...read more

Another Feast In The Desert Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Nov 8, 2017

It is easy to see the Lord work in a mighty way and yet forget as soon as a similar situation comes along. The disciples witnessed Jesus feed a multitude, and yet when facing another multitude that needed fed, they doubted. We must walk by faith,

Another Feast in the Desert Mark 8: 1-9 In our text today we read of the second time our Lord miraculously fed thousands of people with a meager supply of food. Like the previous encounter, a multitude had followed Jesus and were in desperate need of a meal. They were in an isolated area, outside ...read more

Matthew 10:5-10-These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: "Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as you go, preach, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' 8 Heal the ...read more

Sermon # 29 - The Power Of Corporate Prayer Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 20, 2025

Something happens when people gather together to pray. The early church experienced this in a mighty way and they witnessed astounding miracles because they prayed together. Only when families and churches pray together will we be able to see a revival in these last days.

For our meditation I have chosen Act 4:31,“And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the Word of God with boldness.” (AFV) It is a fact that whenever we as a church gather and pray together, there will ...read more

The Power Of Simple Prayer SermonCentral

Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 10, 2023

Prayer is a simple yet powerful tool for Christians. It is a conversation with God, where we direct our requests to Him and expect answers. Jesus taught us this in Matthew 6:5-13. Embrace the power of prayer and witness the changes it can bring.

Prayer is a powerful tool that allows us to communicate with God. It is a way for us to talk to Him, share our needs, and expect Him to answer.

27. The Kingdom Parables – The Seventh – The Dragnet – Part 3 Of 6 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 19, 2025

In the Dragnet parable, we see how it related to the seventh city of the seven churches John wrote to. That was Laodicea. We take a look at the background for Laodicea, and then we begin to look into the letter that was sent to the church in Revelation 3. This is the lukewarm church.

27. THE KINGDOM PARABLES – THE SEVENTH – THE DRAGNET – PART 3 OF 6 THE DRAGNET - LAODICEA BACKGROUND AND LETTER In every Parable of the Kingdom, we have seen that each Parable remarkably fitted the church from Revelation chapters 2 and 3 that matched that Parable.

Out Of Africa Series

Without the involvement of the ancient Africans, we would not have Christianity with us today, much less the nation of Israel. Without Africa - you and I, we would be toast.
