Sermons on Signs And Miracles:

Respect Versus Contempt

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 13, 2021

All that is hateful and unloving is to some degree evil. Jesus says we need to be aware of this, and deal with it in its early stages, and so prevent all the serious consequences of thinking that negative attitudes are alright as long as you don't murder anyone.

Alexander the Great conquered the world, but anger conquered him, and turned him into a murderer. Like so many of the murders of history, it was not intended or designed. It happened because men do not understand that anger is the beginning of murder. Clitus, his best friend, was teasing ...read more

The Lure And Cure Of Lust

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 13, 2021

It is no wonder the Pharisees wanted Him out of the picture. He just made the majority of the human race murderers by making anger equivalent to murder, and now He makes the majority adulterers by making lust equivalent to adultery.

Show me the man who has never looked at a woman with lust, and I'll show you a man with a white cane who was blind from birth. None but a blind man could get through life and not be captivated by God's crowning work of creation-woman. Anyone with an ounce of artistic appreciation knows ...read more

The Greatest Worship Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 15, 2021

Jesus was worshiped in His manhood, and Jesus is worshiped in His deity, and forever both angelic and human beings will worship the God-Man on His throne. Can there be any doubt that worshiping Jesus is THE GREATEST WORSHIP.

No other being in all of history has been held up as one to be worshiped by all the angels. God Himself gave the command that all of His intelligent created beings are to bow down to His Son. He forbids that anyone worship any angel, but He demands that His Son be worshiped. This should settle it ...read more

"Oh How He Loves You And Me!”

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Sep 30, 2021

Today I am preaching from a song that many of us like to hear. There is one part of the lyric that I really like, it goes like this, “O HOW HE LOVES ME. OH HOW HE LOVE YOU!”

It is an awesome thought to think that the God of this vast universe loves us with a jealous love. Oh How He Loves us! Illus: Many of us can remember when we were in grammar school and we started loving the opposite sex for the first time. Before we men grew into that area of our life if the ...read more

We Are Family

Contributed by Steve Taylor on Nov 20, 2019

Brothers and sisters, we can experience the wonder of family or we can dismiss the moments of real love that comes with it. Let’s not let days like thanksgiving be the only time families gather around and share those special moments.

Brothers and sisters, last week we talked about being thankful for the things that we have, and for the life that we share. Well part of that life that we share is with family. AMEN Now, by family I don’t necessarily mean family by some blood DNA, but family as “God’s Family”. If you really ...read more

It was the depression. The father was able to keep bread on the table, but that was it.

Jesus: The Name You Can Trust Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Aug 20, 2025

That’s the image Jesus chooses—God isn’t placing you down the street, He’s building you into His house. This isn’t an apartment, a tent, or a hotel, but a home – a permanent home. This is a place where you belong. God’s children live in God’s house.

Anxiety in our culture is pervasive. Anxiety is now the most common mental health disorder in the U.S. About one in five people you’ll see on any given day deal with anxiety.1 Find John 14 if you will.

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 13, 2025

Paul draws an application to his Gentile-by-birth readers, from his Eph. 2:1-10 starting point.

Today we have the privilege of working through Ephesians 2:11-22. Let's turn there, and read just the first word. "Therefore." What "therefore" signals, is that Paul is going to draw some conclusions, and an application, from everything he's just said. But it's ...read more

The Deceived Church (Church Of Laodicea)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jul 25, 2025

Some good Bible teachers have spiritualized these letters to the seven churches and made each local congregation represent a particular era of church history.

But I strongly disagree with some of these good Bible teachers that I have a high respect for and I will explain in a few minutes why I disagree. For example, according to their view… • The first church on the list is the Ephesian church would represent the time when the apostles were alive and ...read more
