"Chief Of Sinners"

Contributed by Stephen Becker on Oct 9, 2007

Who is the chief of sinners? We are all sinners, yet saved by grace through faith. As a former Mormon, my sermon explores Paul’s message of "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners..." how regardless of our past, we are new creatures, alive in

So who is your favorite character in the Bible that you can relate with most? Do you have one?

Lent 2019 – Our Weeping Savior (Palm Sunday) Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Apr 13, 2019

Our Lord has emotions. We see it both in the Old Testament and the New Testament. When He entered into Jerusalem on a donkey to the shouts of "Hosanna" why did He weep. Does He weep or rejoice over us?

Pentecost 2015

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jun 17, 2015

Pentecost. What does it mean to us and to the world?

On Putting God To The Test Series

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Apr 11, 2021

If we want to be useful for God, it is essential to learn that God is God. God determines the conditions of our service and we are to obey. It is too easy to descend into a pit of one demand upon another for God to serve us before we step out in obedience

If you read newspaper advice columns, like Dear Abbey, very often, you will recognize a scenario that comes up again and again. It is usually a woman who writes in about the man she loves.

Bad Choices In The Tabernacle

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Oct 28, 2021

We hear much today about self-proclaimed preachers who seem to care little about the Lord and His Holy Word but seem to care a great deal about their wealth and popularity. Phinehas and Hophni were not so concerned about popularity but they certainly cared about their creature comforts!

Bad Choices In The Tabernacle Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:10-12 “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of ...read more

Reducing The Ark Of God To A Good Luck Charm

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Dec 1, 2021

In the early part of the time when Samuel was a Judge of Israel the people were still far from God. In a brazen act of foolishness some men charged into the Holy of Holies and and ran off with the Ark hoping it could help them defeat the enemy. It did not.

Where Did He Go? Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Job 19:25-27 “I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end He will stand on the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see Him with my own eyes - I, and not ...read more

It's A Matter Of The Heart

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Apr 14, 2022

Our words and actions flow out of the condition of our heart.

Well, this year of 2001 will be behind us in just a couple of days. I think the events of September 11 and the ripple effects on the economy will etch this year in our memories for a long, long time. But apart from events outside of you, think about who you have been this year. How are you a ...read more

Bethel: The Prophet Who Never Came Back Home

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Aug 30, 2020

The prophet who cried out against Jeroboam's pagan altar in Bethel was on his way back home but stopped for a rest. Maybe he shouldn't have done this--he never made it back to his home alive.

Preface In the Old Testament, sometimes the Lord gives us a look at the successes of His prophets, but sometimes we get another view. Some prophets were murdered. like Uriah, who fled to Egypt, but was brought back to Judah and executed (see Jeremiah 26:20-23). Other prophets were more or less ...read more

The Babble Of Babel Series

Contributed by Stephen Todd on Apr 10, 2003

God judges man’s pride by confusing language. The gift of tongues in Acts is seen as the beginning of the removal of that curse through Christ.

Genesis 10:1-11:9 March 2, 2003 I watched a special recently on the history channel. The special was comparing the civilizations of the ancient world. They particularly focused in upon the fact that pyramid building was a common thread among civilizations that were distinct and distant from each ...read more
