Jacob-Finding True Love--And More Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 24, 2022

Jacob had traveled many miles from his home. He finally reached his uncle's land and in an almost "deja vu" moment, found his first true love!

Introduction: Jacob had stopped near Bethel (Luz), many miles away from his home and family. He had a dream, probably one of the strangest but most striking he would ever know. He woke up, set up a stone as a pillar, and made a contract, so to speak, with God. Now he’s closer to Haran, the land ...read more

Faith Ringing Out Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 28, 2022

As believers we are to have a testimony that rings out like the Thessalonian believers. We have turned from worthless things to Jesus. Our lives become a testimony when we continue our walk with Christ with patient endurance. That is when our faith rings out.

The Liberty Bell changed the world on July 8, 1776, with the Liberty Bell ringing out from the tower of Independence Hall summoning the citizens of Philadelphia to hear the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence. It speaks of the rights and freedoms valued by the people. The ...read more

Love One Another Series

Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Nov 11, 2020

Love one another. Seventeen times in the New Testament we are called to love one another. It is told to us by 3 authors in 7 different New Testament Books. It is also the only one another statement that comes directly from the lips of Jesus.

Introduction Last week we began our series “you ought to see a whole lot of “one anotherness” going on in the church house” and we talked about the first of the two pillars upon which all the rest of the “one anothers” depend upon. And if you remember, the first pillar was forgiveness- there ...read more

The Ten Virgins Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Nov 13, 2020

The key question being asked by this parable is, “Are you ready to meet Jesus?” This question confronts us with four spiritual truths.

Message Matthew 25:1-13 The Ten Virgins Let’s turn in our Bible to Matthew 25:1-13 and read the parable there.

God Of Mission

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jul 17, 2021

Talk 2 in my five-talk series on Jonah. Mission is God's mission. In the story of Jonah - and especially in view of what Jesus says about Jonah - we recognize that God is the master strategist in mission and he's breathtakingly creative.

Jonah Talk 2: God of Mission Last week I started a new series on Jonah. My major theme last week was how compassionate God is. At the time of Jonah, the Assyrian Empire was expanding. Historians of the Middle East tell us how cruel the Assyrian rulers were. I spared you the grizzly details. ...read more

Feeding On The Bread Of Life

Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 10, 2021

We take a detailed look at how to "feed" on Christ. We start with 5 wonderful things about Jesus, then see the necessity of daily feeding on Him, and then observe the two principle ways to do this.

FEEDING ON THE BREAD OF LIFE JOHN 6:51-58 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: ALL YOU CAN EAT PLACES 1. I think that one of the wisest decisions ever made in the food industry was the idea of the “All You Can Eat Buffet.” Many restaurants only offer this option and it has proven to be very successful. 2. ...read more

Our Christian Wardrobe

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 13, 2021

There is something that most of the public schools no longer do. They no longer teach children how to dress properly for job interviews.

For example, there was a time that the public school taught students, that when you applied for a job, you should dress up in your best clothes for the job interviews. Today, it is not unusual to see young people go to a job interview in clothes that look like they wore them to bed last night, and ...read more

Preaching From Philippians #8

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021

Paul’s life was like ours in that he had two kinds of friends.

(1) HE HAD HIS SUNSHINE FRIENDS One of the sunshine friends was Demas. When things were going great, Demas was there, but when things got rough, Demas got going! Look at 2 Timothy 4:3, we read, “For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; ...read more

Have you ever considered what variety there is among the members of the human race?

For example, we notice, even in just one congregation, there are many... - Shapes - Sizes - Colors of hair - Colors of eyes - Shapes and sizes of noses - Shapes and sizes of ears - Shapes and sizes of mouths of people. Perhaps the time when we are most similar is when we are first ...read more

Patriotic In Prayer Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Paul is saying that no Christian can stay out of politics. If you are obligated to pray for politicians then you are involved on the highest level. The only way to stay out of politics is to stay out of the will of God on this issue of prayer for your leaders.

Paul was a man of authority who respected the authority of others. In Acts 23 it is recorded that he was struck on the mouth, and he began to rebuke the one who did it. Those who were near by asked, "Would you revile God's high priest?" Paul answered, "I did not know brethren ...read more

A Risen Redeemer Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 28, 2021

We want to consider the great story of the resurrection from the point of view of two groups of people. Both groups are believers, but Mark's account first deals with the experience of the women, and then of the men.

Back in 1851 two missionaries, one English and the other American, were walking past the temple of Siva in Tanjore, India. They noticed the people carrying out one of the brass idols. It was a hot sunny day and the idol had become heated. One of the worshippers happened to touch it, and ...read more

Patriotic In Prayer Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 30, 2021

We need to remember that the man on the throne when Paul wrote this was none other than Nero, who was the most anti-Christian leader we can imagine. But Paul is urging Christians to pray for him, and Paul prayed for this man who would soon order the taking of his own life.

Paul was a man of authority who respected the authority of others. In Acts 23 it is recorded that he was struck on the mouth, and he began to rebuke the one who did it. Those who were near by asked, "Would you revile God's high priest?" Paul answered, "I did not know brethren ...read more

The Battle Within

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Apr 11, 2021

If we want to be useful for God, we will need to learn to say "no" when our body calls for food or rest in ways that hold us back. When the devil tried to deter Jesus from his mission by tempting him to turn stones to bread when he was supposed to fast, Jesus stood strong.

Perhaps once or twice in a century a truly titanic battle occurs in which the history of earth hangs in the balance. The D-Day invasion might be one.

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 27, 2021

What if I told you everything around you, every chair, every building, every blade of grass was destined for destruction

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, ...read more
