    Understanding God's Word, Part 1: The Message Series

    Contributed by Jim Drake on Aug 18, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,875 views

    This is the first of four messages titled, "Understanding God"s Word." Today, we will see that in order to understand God’s Word, we must have the right message.

    I have looked forward to this chapter ever since I started preaching in Ezra, two years ago. When we were in Ezra, we looked at what I consider to be my life-verse. Ezra 7:10 says, “For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and ...read more

    Soldiers For Christ (Memorial Day)

    Contributed by Dr. Gale A. Ragan-Reid on May 24, 2015
     | 5,582 views

    Jesus Christ in good faith chose the first 12 disciples---soldiers to run their course fighting the good fight in good warfare in which the standard of faith was questioned as little faith when so much more faith was needed in those days and today.

    SOLDIERS FOR CHRIST (Memorial Day) by Dr. Gale A. Ragan-Reid (May 24, 2015) “Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ” (II Timothy 2:3, King James Version (KJV) [Timothy exhorted to constancy]). Greetings In The Holy Name Of ...read more

    Which Shepherd Are You Choosing? (Pt. 2) Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 19, 2022
     | 2,427 views

    This exposition of Zechariah 11:7-17 examines Zechariah's prediction of Christ's rejection at his First Advent and the consequences of that rejection. The timeless truth taught is: when the leadership God sends is rejected, the judgment that follows is bad leadership.

    Intro We concluded last week with God instructing Zechariah to take on the role of a shepherd. Follow with me as we read Zechariah 11:4. “This is what the Lord my God says: ‘Shepherd the flock marked for slaughter.”i That is the assignment God gives Zechariah. He is to represent the Lord as a good ...read more

    The Church Of The New Testament - Part 7b Series

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Feb 19, 2018
     | 94,282 views

    Part 7B under Functions in the New Testament church deals with those functions that Paul styles as first, second, and third; that is, apostles, prophets, and teachers. What are their functions, and were they only for the earliest Christians, or all ages?

    This 13-part series of classes has been many years in the making. About 25 years ago I began in earnest to examine the features, character and characteristics of the church as it existed in its earliest years. As I sometimes do, I kept my notes all along the way, and this series of classes is to a ...read more

    “To us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

    Sermon # 3 - Shadow Versus The Truth Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 27, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 408 views

    In the Old Testament there were shadows of things that were fulfilled only through Christ in the New Testament. As we live in a world where truth is overshadowed by falsehood, let us hold firmly to God and His word so we can walk and live by the truth.

    We read in Philippians 4:8, Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. (ESV) The above mentioned verse ...read more

    Sermon # 15 - The Gradual Steps Of Backsliding Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 9, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 780 views

    Jonah walked away from God and landed everyone aboard the ship he travelled in big trouble. Backsliding is a gradual process, but if we repent and turn back to the Lord we can be reconciled and restored to our first love.

    We read in Jonah 1:10-12, Then the men were terrified. They knew that he was running away from the LORD, because he had told them. They asked Jonah, "Why have you done this?" The storm was getting worse. So they asked Jonah, "What should we do with you to calm the sea?" He told ...read more

    The last trump is about to sound, and that will lead to the outpouring of the vials of God’s wrath. But first we are given a glimpse of the crowning in Heaven of God’s rightful king.

    At the beginning of the Season of Advent we prepare to celebrate the First Coming of Jesus and remember the promise that He will return; meantime we are to be His witnesses, His disciples in the present age, bringing people to Him, just as Andrew brought

    Acts 1: 1-11 St Andrew’s Day Advent is all about preparing to celebrating the incarnation; the historical fact that God came to earth in the form of Jesus of Nazareth. The Word became flesh in order to teach and heal and come to the help of sinners by dying on the cross to take away the ...read more

    A Rational Defense Of The Christian Faith

    Contributed by John Gaston on May 2, 2025
     | 506 views

    This is the first in a series of messages on apologetics. This segment deals with how, as scientific discoveries continue, evidence for God's existence has grown stronger, not weaker. Science, done right, points to God.

    A RATIONAL DEFENSE OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH INTRODUCTION Christianity isn’t just a matter of blind belief or emotional comfort—it presents a worldview grounded in logic, evidence, and reason. In an age where skepticism often masquerades as intelligence, Christian apologetics offers a robust, ...read more

    As we look at the first 4 encounters with Jesus we find these men describe the full ministry of the Son of God

    I want you to notice with me verse 6 of John chapter 1, we find where John the Baptist was the forerunner of the Lord Jesus Christ, God had sent him to prepare the way of our Lord, and he spoken with such authority, that in verse 19 the Jews sent Priest and Levites to ask him who art thou? ...read more

    based on 19 ratings
     | 2,973 views

    In this passage we learn a lot about innovation from the courage of Cornelius, the founder of the first Gentile house church.

    How God Uses Innovators (Acts 10:1-8) 1. Today we hear a lot about innovators who start up their own dot-com businesses. Even though many of these innovators may not enjoy success, they are learning from their efforts. Many innovators are not afraid to fail because they believe in the importance ...read more

    Jesus has the power to bring not only peace but chaos as well, just as he did on that first Palm Sunday...

    "More Than Just a Parade" A story is told about a famous preacher long ago who pastored a church that was filled every Sunday by people who traveled miles on foot just to hear his messages. One day, as the church was emptying, a passerby asked one of the people in the church why this preacher’s ...read more

    Funeral sermon for Ruth Gossage, age 97, one of the first female U.S. Secret Service agents.

    But we speak God’s wisdom, secret and hidden, which God decreed before the ages for our glory. Life is mystery. It is not just that life contains mystery, nor that there are so many unsolved questions. It is that life itself is mystery, secret and hidden, as Paul says. It has often been ...read more
