    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,128 views

    On the day of Pentecost, something incredible happened that had never happened before – the Holy Spirit came to reveal the sacred secret of God held hidden for all of eternity past.

    “Surely you have heard about the administration of God's grace that was given to me for you, that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly” (Eph 3:2,3 NIV). There are two Greek words used in Scripture for the word “secret.” They are “Kruptos” and ...read more

    Taking the Leap to something higher this summer will require embracing the hard sayings of Jesus. This week we continue with 2 "Hard Sayings" that deal with love and marriage, lust and divorce.

    Desperate Housewives and Too Many Husbands Matt 5:27-32 7/7/2013 Introduction It was another interesting week in national news.

    The Lord Of The Sabbath Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Sep 18, 2025
     | 221 views

    On one Sabbath, Jesus and the disciples ate some raw grain as they traveled. Some Pharisees objected to this but Jesus had something interesting to say when He replied to them!

    The Lord of the Sabbath Introduction: Maybe it happened more than once, but there was at least one time when Jesus and the twelve disciples were so hungry they found some raw grain for their meal! Even though this was permitted under the Law of Moses (Deut. 23:25), some of the religious leaders ...read more

    What Are You Like, God? Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 16, 2006
    based on 66 ratings
     | 28,444 views

    One of the images of God from the Old Testament is that of a powerful and intimidating deity who stands in judgment. How can that square with the God of love and compassion we see in the New Testament.

    For the past couple of weeks, we’ve been dealing with questions that those in our church – as well as those from about 3 neighboring congregations – have submitted that they would like to ask of God. The question we’re dealing with this morning is: God, what are you like? OPEN: A couple of years ...read more

    The Great Pretender

    Contributed by Torri Evans on May 20, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 18,975 views

    The Great pretender pretends He/she is living a Christian lifestyle for Christ. When in actuality they are not. A Great Pretender is someone pretending to be in good standing with God. Other words, fake Christians.

    God’s Wrath on The Great Pretender! This is one of those unpopular, chasten messages if you will. But remember for whom the Lord loves He chastens. Definition of Pretender: One who stimulates, pretends, or alleges falsely; a hypocrite. A person who pretends for a dishonest purpose. An impostor. ...read more

    Our Problem--The Divine Diagnosis Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Oct 11, 2021
     | 2,405 views

    Something obviously is wrong with life, and this world. Just exactly what is it? God's Word gives us the divine diagnosis beginning in Romans 1:18-20.

    As I was about to write my message this past week, I read an unusual editorial on the Orange County Editorial page. It was congratulating a politician on being boring. Actually, it was congratulating a California state office holder for being scandal-free in the midst of a sea of scandals rocking ...read more

    Why did Elisha insist (3 times) to go with Elijah to his fiery chariot ride... but all of the "sons of the Prophets" insisted on standing some distance away?

    (I opened the sermon by leading the congregation in an old hymn called "If Jesus Goes With Me I'll Go Anywhere". And then ended the sermon by singing the first verse and chorus with them again). In 1936, a 17 year old Bob Feller became a pitcher for the Cleveland Indians, and he ...read more

    I Lay Me Down To Sleep

    Contributed by Jimmy Chapman on Jul 3, 2008
    based on 11 ratings
     | 6,471 views

    In Peter’s life story we have the record of three times when he was off guard, relaxed, asleep. On each occasion there was something that he did not know.

    I Lay Me Down To Sleep Acts 12:6 Sleeping at the wheel is a good way to keep from growing old. The amount of sleep required by the average person is about five minutes more. Laugh and the world laughs with you, snore and you sleep alone. People who say they sleep like a baby usually don’t ...read more

    Contributed by Dean Courtier on Oct 6, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 287 views

    God takes us — broken, buried in sin, seemingly worthless — and through His grace in Jesus Christ, He cleanses, refines, and transforms us into something of eternal worth.

    Go! And Shine Like Diamonds in the Darkness - Malachi 3:17 Malachi 3:17 (NLT): “They will be my people,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. “On the day when I act in judgment, they will be my own special treasure. I will spare them as a father spares an obedient child.” Introduction: Diamonds in ...read more

    Bethel: "o Altar, Altar!"

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Aug 25, 2020
     | 7,788 views

    This may be the only sermon preached against an altar! When God's prophet came to Bethel, some interesting things happened. Something even happened to the altar itself.

    Introduction The Bible records messages proclaimed against many topics. This is especially true in the Old Testament: the prophets spoke about (and against) various kings, nations, and even the nations of Israel and Judah. The text here is unusual because, first, it’s spoken against an altar! So ...read more

    If we are children of God - if we claim to follow Jesus - then when we see a need we will do something. We must be loving, caring Christians.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK This morning I want you to hear the cry of Jeremiah, the O.T. prophet, as he looks at the ruins of the city of Jerusalem. In the book of Lamentations, chapter 1, vs’s 1,8,11-12, he ...read more

    Too many Christians are bearing no fruit for God. The problem is sin, and God is going to do something in their lives to bring them to fruitfulness. (2nd in series)

     | 10,612 views

    Why do we need to recover? Because we have lost our biblical way of thinking and have not put something better in its place.

    HOW THEN SHALL WE RECOVER OUR BIBLICAL MIND By Jerry Falwell INTRODUCTION My good friend, Francis Schaeffer wrote a challenging book How Then Shall We Live? which challenged us to ground our daily living in the Word of God. I have taken a page out of his book to call this sermon How Then Shall ...read more

    I ask this question because I see something in the text that suggests to me that there is a lot more to repentance than is often taught in the Christian church today.
