    This time of year, people are in search of the perfect Christmas tree. The first Christmas tree, however, is the most important and perfect of all—the family tree of Jesus. This sermon looks at the first person listed in Matthew's genealogy of Jesus: Abraham.

    INTRODUCTION By a show of hands, how many of you have done the Ancestry DNA testing? I did it a few months ago, and they recently updated their database, and with the updated results, I have some questions. I know my family tree goes back to Italy on my mom’s side, and Germany, Ireland, and ...read more

    Paul believed that the Jews had first claim to the Gospel, for Jesus was first and foremost their Messiah. He had been born a Jew and had come to fulfill the Jewish Scriptures. So, no matter how bitterly Paul might be persecuted by the unbelieving Jews

    Devoted To The Apostles' Teaching

    Contributed by David Owens on Jul 10, 2023
     | 3,149 views

    When the church first began, those first disciples of Jesus devoted themselves to the apostles' teachings. The New Testament contains the apostles' teaching and as followers of Jesus today, we must also devote ourselves to the apostles' teaching.

    A. The Bible says that the early church “devoted themselves…” to a number of things. (NIV) 1. Some of the other translations express the phrase “devoted themselves” slightly differently. a. KJV: And they continued steadfastly b. NASV: They were continually devoting themselves 2. Their ...read more

    Things can be pretty tough there in the first half of the game. Certainly Timothy was not having a really great time. So let’s listen in to Paul’s half-time talk.

    Passage: 2 Timothy 2:1-13 Intro: Most team sports have some kind of intermission, half-time. 1. and if you have played on a crummy team, like the football team I played on in HS, you have heard the half-time “pep talk.” 2. supposed to energize, encourage, send the team back out with a “rah ...read more

    My purpose is to examine what we can know for certain while we live on this side of the veil through which we pass to whatever lies beyond it, hidden from our view, and learn what it tells pertaining to life on this side of the grave.

    Note: I developed a simple set of slides on PowerPoint which I used in delivering this sermon.

    Peter met Jesus the Christ by the sea of Galilee and his life was never the same. He grew to be the most prominent disciple in the gospels and the first half of the book of Acts.

    A look at the first half of the parable of the Prodigal Son. Who is the Father? How did the son reach the point of abandoning his family and the point of return. How did the Father react? Wonderful parable!

And, when we look at this parable we will, at this time, only be looking at the first half of the parable. As we start to take a look at this incredible ...read more

    One Way Hate

     | 4,565 views

    The Bible tells us that the world will hate us because it hated Jesus first. What does that mean to us? Should we consider the world to be our enemies? How should we respond?

    Please open your Bibles to John 15:18-16:4 which we will read in a few minutes. In the Bible we often read of “the world”. The world consists of those who stand against Christ and His kingdom. In the time of Christ the world often referred to Jews who rejected the Jesus the Messiah. In a broader ...read more
