The Path To Blessing - Our Lives And Our Country Series

Contributed by Steve Shepherd on Jun 21, 2011

What is the path to blessing for us personally and as a nation? That path is listed in scripture. 1- We must receive God’s correction 2- We must have God’s friendship 3- We must trust God’s wisdom

INTRO.- We prefer blessing over cursing. We prefer to be blessed by God than to be cursed by the devil or by anything that is evil, evil people included. And there are times we wonder about our country. We wonder if God has withdrawn His blessing from America. And we may wonder the same thing ...read more

Wild Waves Of The Sea Casting Up Their Own Shame – Jude 1:13 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 23, 2022

Have you ever seen a wild sea with wild waves casting up from the sea floor filth and debris and putrid things? That is the next image Jude uses to describe false teachers. That is what their doctrines and behaviour are like. We then look at wild waves in scripture.

WILD WAVES OF THE SEA CASTING UP THEIR OWN SHAME – Jude 1:13 Jude has been decrying false teachers and using quite stunning metaphors to describe them. In previous messages we did these and saw that each one paralleled what Peter also wrote, for he too, addressed those bring havoc into the ...read more

Sadducees Sadly Mistaken (2004)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 23, 2022

The intention of the question of our "case in point" (Luke 20:27-40) was designed by those who composed it to make a fool of Jesus. It backfired. The scripture tells us that when Jesus answered that question, no one dared to ask Him any other questions.

SADDUCEES SADLY MISTAKEN Text: Luke 20:27-40 Bruce Larson made the comment that the question that the Sadducees posed to Jesus was a test that was designed to determine whether or not He was a conservative or a liberal.

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Jun 12, 2023

How many people do you think are mentioned by name in the Bible? According to the Biographical Bible, 2nd Edition, there are 3,237 people mentioned by name in the Scriptures. How do the stories of hundreds and hundreds of people intersect with our lives? Their stories are our stories.

How many people do you think are mentioned by name in the Bible? That’s an interesting question, isn’t it? Perhaps you already know the answer. Or maybe like me you never really thought about it.

Love Our Spouses Series

Contributed by Duane Wente on Feb 20, 2023

For the love of family, we must love our spouses. But what does it mean to love our spouses? Scripture teaches us that the marriage of a man and woman is a picture of Jesus and His bride, the church. We need to learn to love our spouses as Jesus loves the church.

Paul’s Mars Hill Sermon Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 23, 2022

What's going on here? Paul preaches a message without using Scripture? He quotes from an inscription on a pagan shrine? No follow up for the new believers in Athens? We better take a closer look at Paul's Mars Hill sermon.

The context of Paul’s Mars Hill Sermon When we look at Paul’s Mars Hill sermon given in Athens in Acts 17, he is well into his second missionary journey. His plans were changed early in the journey when the Holy Spirit kept him from preaching the word in Asia and then he received his Macedonian ...read more

31) Why Share The Gospel! Series

Contributed by Brandon Max on Feb 27, 2022

True believers have always been called to share the Gospel - but why? Today we look at four reasons through the Scriptures: 1) Jesus Did It; 2) The Disciples Did It; 3) Paul Did It; and 4) We Are Told To Do It.

31) WHY SHARE THE GOSPEL! Text: Matthew 24:14 INTRODUCTION Brethren we are now nearing the end of another year. It’s now November, next comes December - and then the year 2021 will be all over.

Happiness Is

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Mar 5, 2022

The following sermon is going to review Matthew 5:6 and other Scriptures to suggest that happiness is not the product of one’s circumstances or the fabrication of one’s mind but a gift from God granted to those in His family who rejoice in His works and covenantal faithfulness to their Creator!

Angels, Angels Everywhere!

Contributed by Donald Pinkleton on Dec 23, 2022

There’s no end to the variety of ways we depict angels. But what do we really know about them, from a biblical perspective? Let’s go back to the source material – let’s look at what the scriptures have to say about angels.

As you may have noticed, today’s theme is all about angels. I want to thank Elsie for the wonderful work she did in gathering all that angel artwork for the bulletin. And I also want to thank everyone who brought in angels to grace the fellowship hall. The angel spirit is alive & well at ...read more

The Speck

Contributed by Dave Nichols on Aug 29, 2024

These will be red letter words, meaning that they come from Jesus Himself. In fact it is scripture that you may have used in the past to justify something you have done, when the point is this, take a closer look at yourself, at your thoughts, your words and your actions.

Our Agenda Vs God's Agenda

Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 29, 2024

Jesus has a vision for his ministry and the people have another, a different vision. The people’s own expectations have deafened them to the fulfillment of the scriptures. They are so caught up in their own agenda they cannot hear, let alone participate in, God’s agenda.

“What’s your plan for the day?” It’s a question I often ask my wife; usually on the weekend. But sometimes in the evenings after work I’ll say, “What’s your plan for this evening?” What’s your plan for the weekend? They seem like innocent enough questions and often they are. I’m really interested ...read more

The Reality, Rise, And Ruin Of Satan

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Oct 30, 2021

The devil is a real, malevolent, evil fallen angel, the sworn enemy of God and His people. He is active but limited in his schemes, destined along with the demons and all who follow him to be judged by the Lord Jesus and cast into hell for eternity. Heed what the Scriptures teach.

This is a sermon about a personality who has been incredibly successful in convincing people that he does not exist, and has done such a good job with this deception that it is estimated that 65 % of professing "Christians" do not believe in his literal existence or that he is merely ...read more

In God’s judgment, there is provision and mercy. What we find now in this little section of Scripture today is nothing more than amazing. In these 4 verses, we have the necessary elements for salvation. So as soon as man falls, God sets in motion the means of redemption.

Elisha In His Early Ministry – Part 1 - The Judgement Is Bad Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 15, 2022

Men have become followers, not leaders. In too many cases men have abrogated their positions through a bad Christian walk, laziness; a careless, unconcerned walk with the Lord. A failure to be students of scripture with nothing that God can use, leaves a spiritual vacuum for the next generation.
