    Jesus And Santa

    Contributed by Jacob Brimm on Apr 21, 2021
     | 1,837 views

    What do Jesus and Santa have in common? Nothing? Perhaps more than you think, just not how you think! The true story of a man who got a name, though he personally would rather all credit go to The Son!

    While we know very little about the man who likely bore the name, the most likely person was the Bishop of Myra, near modern Finike, Turkey, in the 300s. Nicholas' parents died when he was just a teenager. His parents left him a lot of money which made him a rich young man. He went to live ...read more

    Jephthah = Rejection – Victory – And Disaster - All In The One Cup - Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 6, 2022
     | 2,390 views

    The story of Jephthah, a judge of Israel, continues and takes us through deceit, stupidity, betrayal, victory, defeat. It reveals the honour of a daughter contrasted with the utter and complete disgrace of her father. Jephthah, a flawed man had to "battle his demons".

    JEPHTHAH = REJECTION – VICTORY – AND DISASTER - ALL IN THE ONE CUP - PART 2 Read PART 1 before reading this second part. It will then make a lot more sense. MAN’S EVIL LAID BARE – GOING BACK TO FIRST BASE {{Judges 11:7 Then Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, “Did you not hate me and ...read more

    Naomi’s Journey Back To Bethlehem – Ruth, Part 2 Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Oct 17, 2022
     | 1,916 views

    Even in the toughest of times, God has NOT forgotten about Naomi, and, He most certainly has not forgotten about you, either! Even in our despair, God STILL provides comfort for each of us and Ruth is an incredible story about this.

    “Naomi’s Journey back to Bethlehem” – Ruth, Part 2 Ruth Sermon Series, Part 2 Ruth 1:10-22 Introduction - Last week we set the foundation of Ruth around some very difficult times -- Famine causes a family to move from God’s land, disobeys God’s commands - Exposed a hard lesson – and one that ...read more

    Gideon Series

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Aug 5, 2022
     | 6,530 views

    This sermon focuses on the story of Gideon and how in spite of his insecurities God saw him as a "mighty warrior" and used him to deliver the Israelites from the Midianites, and can also use us all of us as his instruments of deliverance today.

    We will be starting at Judges 6. If you have been with us for a while, you know we are going through the series called Extraordinary People. Basically, the series is about the lesser known people of the Bible who, because of their faith and obedience, God used in extraordinary and unexpected ...read more

    As It Turned Out Series

    Contributed by Steve Malone on Sep 15, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,591 views

    The story of Naomi and Ruth teach us that even when things are not looking so good at the 6 foot level, 'as it turns out' God is still at work causing all things to work together for our good and His glory.

    “As It Turned Out…” (Note when I type B/S = brothers and sisters) Good morning Church! NOW - I want to begin by reading what is probably one of the most popular, most well-known, and the all- time go to passages whenever anyone is facing difficult times… It was written 2000 years ago by the ...read more

    Abigail Series

    Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Aug 13, 2020
     | 8,955 views

    We have a story of the beauty and the beast and how the heroine saves her family from destruction because of the beast’s rude and foolish ways. Our heroine is a courageous woman of faith who steps in to prevent a massacre at the risk of her own life.

    Theme: Unsung Heroes Video: What is courage from bluefishtv.com. Quote on courage: Courage looks different than many people think today. The most courageous people in the world are ones who never pick up a weapon or those who choose to lay their weapons down. The kingdom of God is looking for ...read more

    "The Return Of The King Of Kings”

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Nov 21, 2023
     | 1,354 views

    A Sermon for Christ the King Sunday. The Jesus story does not begin in Bethlehem, nor does it end in Jerusalem. Revelation is about the Cosmic war between "good and evil" ...much like the Disney movie "The Lion King".

    In Jesus Holy Name November 26, 2023 Text: Revelation 19:11-13,16 Christ the King Sunday Redeemer “The Return of the King of kings” Leonard Sweet in his book: “Jesus, A Theoraphy” writes: The Jesus story does not begin in Bethlehem nor Nazareth. It ...read more

    What Is Our Purpose. Series

    Contributed by Louis Mare on Jan 6, 2023
     | 3,005 views

    Like God called John to a specific purpose—before birth and before he could qualify himself for the task—He calls us to spread His story of salvation to the world—even when we don’t feel capable of doing the job.

    You know, I do think we all have a purpose on this earth. The reason we have skills and talents, and passions are so that we can serve the greater community, earn a living, and also live life. I have seen in my own life that sometimes we hit this mid-life crisis scenario where we question our ...read more

    "Giving. Which Commandment Is That?”

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Nov 7, 2024
     | 762 views

    The massage is not about the "way to heaven" but our "walk". Is the story of the widow's mite about giving? Or about the failure of the teaches of the law to care for God's people... this can not be separated from Isaiah 5

    Avoiding A Critical Spirit

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 19, 2023
     | 2,273 views

    There is a place for honestly confronting others when done in a loving and gracious way. Yet maturity means learning to guard our hearts from an unhelpful, critical spirit, as we'll learn in this story of Miriam and Aaron's criticism of Moses.

    It’s summertime folks. And the heat of Texas is here. And that heat causes many to be on edge—on edge enough to gripe or complain about the smallest of things. Do we have any complainers here today? This coming November, I will have been pastor here at SEBC for 27 years. Through those years I ...read more

    Abigail - Unsung Hero/Agent Of Grace

    Contributed by Ryan Ferwerda on Sep 21, 2025
     | 171 views

    Imagine being a level-headed person caught between two hot heads that, left to themselves, would destroy each other and everyone around them. This was Abigail, an Unsung Hero of the Bible, whose story we find in 1 Samuel 25.

    What is a hero? Over the last two weeks we have explored stories of ordinary people that undertook extraordinary tasks that ended up having huge impacts on the people of God in their time.
