Introduction I want to start with this question: in Peter’s list of virtues in 2 Peter 1:5-7, why isn’t verse 5 enough? By the end of v.5 you ...read more

Beyond The Upper Room: The Proclamation Of The Church

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 8, 2023

This message gives a survey of the events leading up to Pentecost and the command from the Lord Jesus to preach the Gospel to everyone. This is an adaptation of a message from the 1995 edition of the Zondervan's Pastor's Annual. It needed no update, for the Word of God is eternal.

The disciples were made up of men who had been called from their chosen professions to follow Jesus of Nazareth.

Contributed by Thomas Andrufski on Oct 4, 2025

This is an insert to my book, "The Narrow Road" on Amazon.The sermon discusses how lawlessness, defined as the rejection of biblical authority and moral order, is increasingly evident in society and even within churches, leading to confusion and chaos.

Sin, at its core, is lawlessness. It is not merely the absence of law but rebellion against the moral order established ...read more

The Fountain And The Broken Cisterns

Contributed by Paul Dayao on Aug 27, 2025

This sermon is a passionate call based on Jeremiah 2:13 to abandon the exhausting pursuit of fulfillment in the world's "broken cisterns" and return to God, the true "fountain of living waters" who alone can quench our deepest spiritual thirst.

Introduction: The Scandal of Thirst Before we open God’s Word, I want you to imagine the land where Jeremiah lived. It was a dry, sun-scorched land. Water was not a convenience you got from a tap; water was life itself. A family’s wealth, their survival, depended on access to a well, a stream, or a ...read more

Some For A Reason, Some For A Season, And Some For A Lifetime

Contributed by Anthony Sosa on Jan 14, 2025

Have you ever wondered why God places certain people in your life or calls you to a specific task? Some callings are meant to fulfill a specific purpose, others to last only for a season, and a few are designed to span a lifetime—all serving God’s greater plan for His kingdom.
