Back To The 1960s Down Memory Lane, Then Back To The Present! Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 31, 2025

How much has changed! We take a journey back to the 1960s to see how songs expressed that generation. Who remembers those times? This message looks too, at the present, and some similar concerns but in a different dress. The word of God is our answer to pessimism and hopelessness.

BACK TO THE 1960s DOWN MEMORY LANE, THEN BACK TO THE PRESENT! This article may be a trip down memory lane but in hindsight, it reflects the present. Some of us are still around to remember the lyrics presented here. Music usually reflects the atmosphere of the time, more so among the younger ...read more

Lashed To The Mast - Standing Firm Amidst The Storms Of Life

Contributed by Tim Diack on Mar 12, 2012

The world sings a siren song that will lure the unwary away from the life they can have in Jesus. What can we do so we don't fall off the path? The psalmist says, "I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you."

The Defeat Of Amalek

Contributed by Steve Taylor on Jun 4, 2017

You know, we sometimes sing a song titled “It’s Gonna Rain, and it includes the words “God got angry upon his throne”. Well it’s true. While God may be slow to anger, the book of Samuel tells of a time when God’s patience was tried.

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Apr 22, 2018

If you're a child of the 80's like me you are no doubt familiar with this song from Huey Lewis and the News. He wants his new drug to make him feel the way he does when he's with his lady. We need a new drug too. And we have it when we find Christ.

Stumbling Around

Contributed by David Richardson on Aug 16, 2005

Life is like stumbling around in the darkness when we get up in the middle of the night for a drink of water. We’re too proud to reach over and turn on the light, because we think we know all that we need to know. And, even though we stumble one time, the

Fear Not Series

Contributed by Roger Thomas on Feb 17, 2007

In the midst of your storm, don’t be afraid! He is here. “Lo, I am with you always,” he promised his followers (Mt. 28:20). The night before the cross he told his men, "I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you,” (John 14:18)."

Betrayal Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 30, 2012

Many times when we look at the portion of Mark 14 involving the arrest and trial of Jesus we focus on Judas - the betrayer. But Mark shows us that many more than Judas betrayed Jesus that night, and it shows us how short we fall and how great our Savior r

Beginning in Mark 14:43 we shift from Jesus being the source of the action to Him being acted upon by others. He becomes very passive except at a few key moments, on His way to the cross. In a way, what we see in this portion of Mark 14 is the failure of mankind. In several key ways, man abandons ...read more

How Can A Man Be Born When He Is Old Series

Contributed by Jimmy Chapman on Nov 13, 2010

Our text records an interview between Jesus and a man named Nicodemus. Nicodemus is mentioned three times in the New Testament, and each reference mentions he came to Jesus under the cover of night (John 3:1; 7:50; 19:39). Therefore, we could call him o

When God Seems Silent Series

Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Feb 4, 2010

I doubt there’s a person here who hasn't had a dark night experience when God didn’t seem to hear your desperate cry for help or answers. Worse than that it seemed he broke contact with you and you felt dreadfully alone.

Jesus Christ, Our Great High Priest

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 13, 2022

On the last night of Jesus' life before going to the cross, He spent time with the Father in prayer, serving as our great High Priest making intercession with God the Father on our behalf (Hebrews 3:1, 6:20). This "high priestly" prayer warrants our attention.

So far in John's gospel, we have encountered glorious portraits of the life, work, and teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ that give "many convincing proofs" (Acts 1:3) of HIs divinity and godly authority which no one else can ever claim. He healed the sick, raised the dead, fed the ...read more

How many of us lie awake at night worrying about some problem or other. Sometimes, we forget what we have or how God has helped us in the past. Many times the answer is right in our own hands. It is all about hearing God, believing and taking action.
