    As Jesus heads into Jericho, He meets a blind man named Bartimaeus ­ we know that’s his name from Mark’s account of the story. His experience with Jesus changed him forever.

    A Blind Man Meets a Healer Stevie Wonder (the singer) and Jack Nicklaus (the golfer) are sitting around the pool talking. Inevitably the conversation turns to golf and Nicklaus is surprised to find out that Stevie Wonder, who is blind, has been playing golf for years. The golf pro can’t believe ...read more

    Bowing To The Great Idol Of Self

    Contributed by Mark Adams on Jan 13, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,072 views

    The OT has a lot of interesting stories about idolatry, but is that really just a problem of the past? This sermon addresses the very real problem that our culture has in worshiping our own desires above all else.

    To the reader: What inspired this sermon was a quote I read in R.C. Ortlund’s book, When God Comes To Church, p. 194. "Self is the great idol standing at the center of our conceptual world, to which all bow low. We even have a duty-to-self ethic, as if self-denial were harmful, immoral, and ...read more

    Marriage As It's Meant To Be Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Dec 13, 2005
    based on 25 ratings
     | 9,658 views

    Context is always important when we study the Bible. Genesis 1 gives us a complete narration of creation; Genesis 2 retells the story in order to fill in the details concerning the creation of man and the construction of marriage.

    Marriage as it’s Meant to Be Genesis 2:18-25 Rev. Brian Bill 11/13/05 Two weeks ago we established that singleness is good, it’s a gift, and it can be used to bring glory to God. Last week we were reminded that if you’re going to get married, make sure there is a spiritual match. It might seem ...read more

    While the benefits of the "Greatest Story Ever Told" belongs exclusively to Christians, we must not keep them to ourselves! We, like Jonah, must deliever the message of Truth and Repentance from our heavenly Father.

    The Passage: Jonah 1:1-3 1:1The word of the LORD came to Jonah son of Amittai: 2"Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me." 3But Jonah ran away from the LORD and headed for Tarshish.

    Parable Of The Marriage Feast Of The Kings Son

    Contributed by William D. Brown on Jan 12, 2013
     | 8,637 views

    This parable about the "kingdom of heaven" was directed to His enemies, to warn them about their impending doom. The King in the Lord's story represents God the Father, who gave a large banquet for His Son, Jesus Christ.

    Matt. 22:1-14~ PARABLE OF THE MARRIAGE FEAST OF THE KINGS SON~ 12-29-12 Let me remind us first of all that the gospel of Matthew was given primarily too the Jews, it was written by a Jew, (Matthew) to the Jews, and it tells about a Jew (Jesus) but all of us can glean from Matthews gospel. ...read more

    Everyone faces tough times and trials. Too many times the answers we here are trite or condescending. But in the story of Lazarus we can find the meaningful truths that will allow us to rise from the difficulties of life.

    Abraham and Lot. Two believers. One trusted God, and the other trusted in his own achievement, power and wisdom. The question for us as we examine their lives and story is simply this. Who do you trust?

    As we come to Genesis 13, we find a chapter that gives us a powerful contrast between two very different people, Abram and Lot. While we are tempted to think that Lot was not a true believer, 2 Peter 2:7–8 tells us that he was indeed a believer, "And if he rescued righteous Lot, greatly ...read more
