    When God’s Promises Seem Too Good To Be Real Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Oct 23, 2019
     | 2,986 views

    Mary's response to Gabriel's message is surprising. The message is unexpectedly encouraging, yet the Bible says she was deeply troubled. Are there times when God gives us good news but we don't treat it like good news?

    THE ANGEL'S MESSAGE: Gabriel’s message was unexpectedly encouraging yet troubling to Mary. - Luke 1:28-29. - The message and the response don’t immediately line up. Let’s start with the response: v. 29 tells us that Mary was greatly troubled. Given that response, you would presume that the ...read more

    Taking a deep look at 1 Kings 9 and the terrible warnings God gives to Solomon in his second appearance and Solomon's reaction to it

    What would be the worst thing to happen to you at the end of your life? For me, it might well be losing your mind. For others, it may be the terrible tragedy of losing your children, somewhat like happened to Job. For many, I guess, it would be that everything that you have spent your life building ...read more

     | 5,636 views

    Worry is the uneasy feeling we often experience in times of fear, trouble, or problems. But, not all worry is bad. There is a positive, wise kind of worry and a negative, wrong, and destructive worry. This sermon helps us understand both of them and the impacts of negative worry.

    Today we will continue our sermon series on "The Bible and Emotional Problems." The topic that we will learn is worry. "I have a mountain of credit card debt," one man told another. "I have lost my job. My car is being repossessed and our house is in foreclosure, but I am ...read more

    Jesus appeared to rebuff the woman whose daughter had a spirit, but in reality He used her to show us how to persevere in prayer, and revealed to her how to claim a promise you have no ground to claim.

    GREAT FAITH & THE CHILDREN’S BREAD Mark 7:24-30 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Thomas Hassmann tells how it always irked his single mother that her grocery store didn’t carry eggs in packages of six—just by the dozen. 2. He said, “Then one day, her wish came true.

    A sermon about the power of the Holy Spirit.

    “What is Power?” Luke 4:14-21 When you hear the word “power” what comes to mind? Do you think of influence or wealth, such as a person who strides down the “corridors of power”? Do you think of an authoritarian or dictator? Or how about physical strength, the powerful frontline of a ...read more

    Bartimaeus was blind and outcast, but he refused not to be heard because he was eager and desperate to pursue Jesus who could heal him.

    Mark 10:46-52  They came to Jericho. As he and his disciples and a large crowd were leaving Jericho, Bartimaeus son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the roadside.  (47)  When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout out and say, "Jesus, Son of David, ...read more

    Recently I have been fascinated listening to the testimonies of Jews who have come to know Jesus as their Savior. Isaiah 9:6 speaks of Jesus but the Jews claim that it is about Hezekiah. Is there a connection between Isaiah 9 and the New Testament?

    The Church Is One Series

     | 2,685 views

    We have begun to look at what theologians and church fathers across the centuries have called the "marks" or the "notes" of the Church. Perhaps we can get a fresh look at God's words about the Church.

    Ephesians 4:1-6 We have begun to look at what theologians and church fathers across the centuries have called the "marks" or the "notes" of the church. Coming without apology from an evangelical and scriptural perspective, still we are seeking to avoid the unproductive tension ...read more

    Grievous Mourning In Persia Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 14, 2021
     | 3,502 views

    The Jews were condemned and needed someone to intercede on their behalf before the king. All are born in a body of flesh, prone to sin, separated and condemned before God. Our only hope was for someone to provide deliverance for us and intercede on our behalf.

    Grievous Mourning in Persia Esther 4: 1-9 As we continue our study in Esther, the tension and anxiety continue to increase for the Jews in captivity. Haman’s hatred for Mordecai prompted him to persuade Ahasuerus to sign a decree calling for the complete annihilation of the Jewish population ...read more

    We do not know anything about these two persons, men of position evidently, who had large households. But learned commentators of the New Testament have advanced a very sensible conjecture concerning each of them.
