Christmas Message Isaiah 7:10-14 & Matthew 1:23

Contributed by Ken Henson on Dec 3, 2013

God takes a curse and turns it into a blessing. The prophecy a virgin would bring forth a son expressed God's displeasure with Ahab, yet God took that warning to Ahab and used it as a blessing to us. God, even today, turns our curses to blessings.

The Free Gift Of Grace Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 7, 2022

People like presents, especially good ones that are useful, and that reveal how the giver put forth some thought into the purchase. In the Bible we are told of the best gift of all! “The gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Everyone likes to receive presents; however, there are some we could probably live without. Christmas time is when the majority of gifts are given, and it seems to be the occasion when some of the worst ones are purchased during those last minute shopping trips. A survey was conducted in which ...read more

I Am The Resurrection & The Life Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Apr 15, 2017

In showing forth the implications of the Resurrection, in John 11:25-27, Jesus explains the 1) Reason (John 11:25) the 2) Reality (John 11:26) calls for a 3) Response (John 11:27) to the fact that He is the Resurrection and the Life.

One of the most unsettling aspects of death is that people have no control over it. As the writer of Ecclesiastes said: Just as “no one has authority to restrain the wind,” so also no one has “authority over the day of death” (Eccl. 8:8). When that day comes people are: “torn from the security of ...read more

The Fourth Word From The Cross: "Eloi, Eloi, Lema Sabachthani?" Series

Contributed by Ravin Caldera on Apr 18, 2017

This is a reflection on the forth word from the cross, which is a very difficult passage for exposition. These words give a deep expression of faith ("my God, my God"), universal cry for justice ("why") and, words of deep mystery ("have forsaken me").

And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Mark 15:34). As Mark stated, about Jewish ninth hour or in our time three o'clock there was darkness over the whole land—out of darkness and despair ...read more

Sermon # 32 - The Robe Of Repentance Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 6, 2024

The King of Nineveh took off his robe and put on sackcloth and sat in ashes to signify his humble repentance before the Almighty God. There is nothing God can’t do with a repentant church and true revival will break forth when this happens.

We read in Jonah 3:6, “When the king of Nineveh heard about it, he got up from his throne, took off his robe, put on sackcloth, and sat down in ashes.” (GNB) Jonah was sent by God to the city of Nineveh, and the message that Jonah preached was that the city would be destroyed in forty days.

Sermon National Day Of Prayer, When The Church Prays

The Blueprints Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Aug 5, 2011

Can you build a real house without blueprints? Sure you can throw up a square storage shed maybe without them, but do you not need to have some kind of visual plan of the dimensions, how many rooms, where the rooms go, and so on in order to start building
