Events 10 To 6 Days Before The Crucifixion Series

Contributed by John Wright on Mar 27, 2010

At least nine outstanding events are reported relating to Christ showing His courage as He was about to experience the crucifixion and He responded so unselfishly He demonstrated His love for lost man over and over again.

INTRODUCTION 1. Open your bibles please to Matt. 20:17&ff. 2. Do we have anyone present that has ever ridden a donkey? (1) Maybe Heather Walton! Or maybe Joshua or Caleb or Paul?

Acceptable Anger Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 27, 2021

Is it possible that we eliminate the vice of anger, but in so doing also eliminate the virtue of it? It is obviously not Christ like to be losing your temper and blasting people, and seeking revenge. But on the other hand, it is also not Christ like to never be angry at the forces of evil.

I had an awful temper as a child. When I was in first or second grade I broke a pool cue over the head of one of my brother's friends, and for years after I was reminded that I caused the scar on his forehead. My older brother came close to getting even worse. In one of our fights he picked ...read more

Eyes On Jesus! Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Jan 29, 2018

Our world is exploding with violence, and many people who once claimed to follow Jesus are losing heart. They are in danger of drifting away and dropping out.

INTRODUCTION I read recently that 10,000 Baby Boomers turn 65 every day. When we were teenagers we were part of a music revolution. However, as we get older, things change. For that reason I’m thinking about doing a commercial for a remix of songs for aging boomers. What do you think? The ...read more

Can A Born-Again Christian "Bind" And "rebuke” The Devil?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Aug 25, 2020

A look at what the Bible says about effective spiritual warfare

The terms "binding" and "rebuking" have risen to the forefront in spiritual warfare and deliverance ministry teaching. The words are most often used to teach that the devil can be "bound" or that angels can be "loosed." This study today is about what the ...read more

The empty tomb reminds us of God's Power, Priority and Presence in our lives.

Other tombs in Egypt had been found before this, but what made this tomb so unique was the fact that ...read more

Who Are You? Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on May 31, 2023

If you want to achieve true greatness, humble yourself and exalt the Savior.

During Sunday school, a pastor, who was teaching the adult class, selected a middle-aged couple to act out the burning bush scene from Exodus 3. He asked the husband to supply the voice for God and his wife to read Moses' lines. All went well until they got to verse 15. The wife, as Moses, ...read more

Walking With Jesus But Following Satan (Living A Double Life)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Sep 11, 2025

When we think of the betrayals of Christ, we normally think of Judas.

I have heard people say when I get to heaven I want to see Peter, Paul or Samson… But you will never hear anyone say when I get to heaven I want to see JUDAS Iscariot….why? Because he is not there. Judas is referred to by the Word of God as “The SON OF PERDITION”. Only two people are referred ...read more

Let Go Of Your Loaves Series

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jul 19, 2025

It's easy to make the story of the loaves and fishes just about money, but the reality is that it is a story of surrender.

Let Go of Your Loaves It was a beautiful day. Jesus had crossed over the sea of Galilee and the crowd discovering where he was going followed on foot, covering a distance of approximately 15 kilometres and Luke tells us in chapter 9:10 that they finally caught up with him in Bethsaida.

Songs We Sing: "must Jesus Bear The Cross Alone" Series

Contributed by Troy Borst on Mar 5, 2025

The song we will focus on is the worst hymn that has ever been produced (IN MY OPINION). Why is this hymn the worst? This hymn is the worst because it teaches incorrect theology about Jesus Christ.
