Contributed by Tim Diack on Oct 15, 2012

What is truth? That’s the question Pilate asked of Jesus and it’s the same question people are still asking today. Some will tell you that there are as many truths out there as there are people. But is that really true? Can we know what truth is? Why

Understanding the World Around Us: What Is Truth? - John 17:13-23 “What is truth?” - that’s the question Pilate asked some 2000 years ago, isn’t it? It’s a question that people are still asking today: What is truth? And they’re asking that question and ...read more

Accepted!

Contributed by Mark Opperman on Sep 29, 2015

Some things never change – and Jesus is One of them! He still accepts people!!! He doesn’t wait until they measure up or become nice enough to be accepted. Let's look at some ways God accepts us and learn to accept others!

Accepted! John 6:37 “All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.” Intro: One of the greatest needs people have is arguably the need for acceptance. That doesn’t necessarily mean acceptance of everything a person thinks or ...read more

Ripe For Harvest

Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 1, 2017

Jesus said, "You have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest!" We are in a race against time to gather the harvest before it spoils or is destroyed. 3 Aspects of it.

The Dead Church

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Jan 21, 2023

Many churches all over the world are dead churches. Why? Because they have forsaken the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They are still living on past victories and faded glory from long past. They are not living the daily life with Christ the Lord and as such, have now grown cold to the Gospel.

Please turn in your Bibles to Revelation Chapter 3, as today we are going to look at verses 1-6, Jesus’ warning to the church at Sardis. John MacArthur, in his exposition of these verses, used an illustration that has stuck with me. I would like to begin with it. He talked about the phenomenon ...read more

9 Marks Of The Demonic (Revelation 9:1-11, 20-21) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jun 4, 2023

A second look at the 5th trumpet-- the demonic, trans locust horde, released to harm people, and bring them to their senses. Despite this, people still serve demons. By themselves, God's judgments don't do what's needed.

Last week, we worked our way through Revelation 8 and 9, covering six of the seven trumpets. I tried to give you the big picture, and cover a lot of ground. But if I'm honest, I did so as a coward. At one critical point, I got nervous, and decided to teach it in a way that wouldn't be ...read more

It is recorded in Mark 4:21, Jesus said to them, "Does anyone bring a lamp into a room to put it under a basket or under a bed? Isn't it put on a lamp stand? (GW) As we meditate on the questions Jesus asked while here on earth, we realize that these questions were asked to help people ...read more

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Aug 26, 2025
