    The Bible tells us Jesus is Saviour, Jesus is the Messiah, Jesus is the Lord. Jesus was not born to condemn us, He was born to save us. Jesus was born to remove the guilt of our sins. Jesus came to set you free from the penalty of your sin.

    2012 12 24 ASH PM Christmas Eve Communion It’s Christmas Eve. What does Christmas mean to you? Has the real meaning of Christmas changed for you over the years? How long have you known that Jesus is the real reason for the season? I’m assuming that you must have known it for some ...read more

    Jesus already gave us the final word on the matter… Hell is a Real Place of Real Torment.

    “Hell is No Joke” Luke 16:19-31 INTRO: 1. Hell is a difficult topic to preach on. Like you, I take no pleasure considering that place called “Hell.” For that very reason I must tell you that Hell is real today and Hell is no joke! a. Bible refers to hell 162 times ...read more

    Why Did God Have To Kill His Son To Forgive Me? Series

    Why did God have to kill His Son for me to obtain forgiveness. Why couldn't God have simply forgiven me without that sacrifice?

    OPEN: Dick Van Dyke once told a story about a preacher who was showing his 4 year old son a picture of Jesus. But the man didn’t want his son to get the wrong idea and so he said: “But son… it’s not really Jesus. It’s just an artist’s impression of Jesus.” The boy looked closely at the picture and ...read more

    Christmas Makes For Pure Christians Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 15, 2021
     | 1,769 views

    The reality of Christmas is that God’s grace does not produce Christians who are cavalier about sin. My message in three words is simple: Don’t drift downstream.

    It just seems the holidays are meant for laziness. The week between Christmas Day and New Year’s Day is meant for sleeping in and for resting. Yet, I want to challenge your message during this “week of rest” - The reality of Christmas is that God’s grace does not produce Christians who are ...read more

    Anxiety (Part 2): Understanding Its Causes, Treatments, And Cases In The Bible" Series

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Oct 7, 2021
     | 3,055 views

    Like worry, not all anxiety is sinful. Unfortunately, anxiety is often a result of sin. If that was the case, the cure is to deal with the sin.

    Introduction Last week, we learned about five types of anxiety, their symptoms, and how the Bible shows Jacob, Moses, Queen Esther, and Martha experienced anxiety. So, the Bible does talk about anxiety and how it steals peace and joy from our hearts. And more than that, it hinders us from being ...read more

     | 2,613 views

    Many struggle with the concept that sin is sin. Murder, stealing, telling a lie…they are all sin. But how can telling a lie be just as bad as murder?

    ******************* A lot of us struggle with the concept that sin is sin. Murder, stealing, telling a lie… we can all agree that those are sins. But we tend to rate sins and say one sin is worse than another. How can telling a lie be just as bad as murder? There’s a verse in the Bible that ...read more

    God always makes powerful statements on top of mountains like this, but what was He trying to tell us at the Mount of Transfiguration and what should we do about it?

    "(Stretching Forth) Withered Hands

    Contributed by Mark Mccool on May 25, 2007
    based on 16 ratings
     | 15,130 views

    Open honesty is essential for conversion. Conversion is essential for saint & sinner alike. Many times complete conversion is never manifested in one’s life simply because they have hidden shame, & witheredness, that has never been healed.

    “(STRETCHING FORTH) WITHERED HANDS” Mark McCool TEXT: MATTHEW 12:9-13 9 And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue: 10 And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse ...read more

    Finding Gold In The Garbage Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,341 views

    No one whose hope is in God will be put to shame. It is not the harsh realities that defeat us but our inability to see God¡¯s goodness and will in them. Trust the Sovereign God who is in control and still very much involved in your life.

    [Main thoughts taken from Max Lucado’s book Just Like Jesus] Theme: A Hopeful Heart Hope is like gold in the garbage. - In the midst of all the trash you find something precious. - In the midst of the darkness you see a ray of light. Look at Jesus at the lowest point of His life - the night ...read more

     | 4,970 views

    We are thrilled to be partakers of the benefits of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! This world sees the Lord's Gospel as foolish, offensive, and even shameful. But, true, born-again, blood-bought children of God are happy to don themselves in the Gospel of Chr

    Gospel Pride (Romans 1:16-17) “…I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. [17] For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written: ‘The ...read more

     | 7,637 views

    The Golden cow of sexual immorality is a big fat cow getting bigger by the day as it enslaves people into it’s dark world of shame and bondage. It’s a sin that the apostle Paul says we need to run from!

    Preaching Of The Cross

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on May 24, 2024
     | 771 views

    The Apostle Paul said he was not an elegant speaker; he did not desire to use flattering words to draw attention to the cross. It is a shame too many preachers today feel they must use flattery or jokes to attract or keep an audience.

    I have heard many preachers over the span of my life. My father said they began attending church assemblies on Easter just a few days after my birth. Over sixty years have I been in an assembly hearing preaching. Think about the number of years and the many preachers you have heard. You have heard ...read more
