     | 16,303 views

    This is a story that very few preach about. It is the story of Hezekiah allowing the enemy of God into his home. He allowed a home invasion in the name have making peace with the enemy of God. He died, and his family was lost to Babylon.

    A Home Invasion II Kings 20:12-21 12 At that time Berodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah: for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick. 13 And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, ...read more

    The Humble Will Receive Grace, I Promise! Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jul 13, 2020
     | 7,420 views

    God hates pride, but loves humility. God's promise is that if we humble ourselves before God, He will give us His grace. This truth is clearly displayed in the story of Nebuchadnezzar, and in the story of the Pharisee and the tax collector.

    A. One day a certain preacher began to pride-fully muse about what a fine preacher he had become. 1. So he said to his wife, “How many really great preachers do you think there are?” 2. His wife thought for a minute and said, “Well, I don’t know how many really great preachers there are, but ...read more

    Hope In The Face Of Fear Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 3, 2021
     | 3,759 views

    Do you wonder why the Bible included the story of Judas’ suicide inside the pages of the Bible? The reason God included the story of Judas is simple: Not even the betrayal of one of Jesus’ chosen twelve can stop the mission of church.

    Today, I want to speak to you on this important topic: “Hope in the Face of Fear.” Isolated from meeting together because of the Coronavirus, we meet for worship online. Of course, there is no substitute for gathering together in person. How I look forward to seeing everyone face to face! I am so ...read more

    Emmanuel, God With Us

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Dec 27, 2022
     | 2,267 views

    The title Emmanuel reflects the very nature of his office, the God with us, who willingly condescend to embrace a relationship with mankind. In Christ Jesus, God chose to walk we man in human form. The Christmas story is the salvation story!

    Subject: Emmanuel, God With Us Mt 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only ...read more

    Palm Sunday .... It started with a donkey. The King rides on in majesty, but He is on His way to the cross. Many people have their favorite author and novels written.... The Story of Jesus could have been a Greek tragedy, But God had other plans for His story.

    Why is Jesus' post Resurrection appearance to Mary Magdalene one of John's four post Resurrection stories

    TSJ and TSL 22-07-2018 A touch from the Risen Lord If John’s Gospel had finished with Chapter 19, it would not be something special.

    They are no comical chaps! Mark 6:7”And He called the twelve to Himself, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them power over unclean spirits.” Why ‘ghost stories’ and ghost games have such mass appeal remain opaque to me! May be because of the fun they get out ...read more

     | 3,317 views

    The story of the adulterous woman helps us see that we should welcome sinners just as Jesus did

    We have been preaching through the book of John. Early in the book we sense the tension between Jesus and the religious leaders that led up to Jesus’ death. If there was anything that rankled those religious leaders, it was the way Jesus welcomed all kinds of people, especially those regarded ...read more
