    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,837 views

    Jesus tells the parable of a man who sold everything he had to buy a field with hidden treasure in it. What is the treasure, and what does that mean for us?

    (This sermon series is based on a book by Randy Alcorn entitled "The Treasure Principle) OPEN: Several decades ago, there was something called the "Iron Curtain." It was an imaginary border between the Communist Soviet Union (and it's satellite nations) and the rest of the ...read more

    Sermon On The Mount - Part 13 Series

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Jul 2, 2019
     | 5,764 views

    This is Part 13 in a 14-part series of studies I call “The Christian Character” from what is familiarly known as the “Sermon on the Mount.” In this part, we look at Jesus' teaching about judging, and not giving what is holy to dogs and pigs.

    Part 13 - Do not judge, do not give what is holy to dogs and pigs Sermon on the Mount The Christian Character Matthew 5:3 - 7:27 (Cf. Luke 6:20-49) This is Part 13 in a 14-part series of studies I call “The Christian Character” as described by Jesus to a crowd of people on a Galilean hillside as ...read more

    What Was The Real Reason For Palm Sunday? And The Donkey’s Special Part! A Palm Sunday Message Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 7, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,343 views

    How does the donkey feature in the Palm Sunday account? Its story is interesting. We look at the prophetic Psalm 118; the entry Jesus made into Jerusalem; Isaac; and how that connects with His yet future Jerusalem entry at the Second Coming when He rides on the white horse not a donkey.

    WHAT WAS THE REAL REASON FOR PALM SUNDAY? AND THE DONKEY’S SPECIAL PART! A PALM SUNDAY MESSAGE Welcome again to all of you and we have a message today that shares some wonderful passages of scripture for this event known as Palm Sunday. The reason for Palm Sunday separates into four sections ...read more

    He Walked Not Uprightly (Full) Series

    Contributed by Ron Freeman, Evangelist on Jul 2, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,271 views

    To establish that Paul rebuked Peter for walking not uprightly before the church. When men from James came to Antioch, Peter withdrew and separated himself from eating with the Gentiles, for fear of the circumcision. This same fear exists today, among believers and leaders in the Lord’s church.

    INTRODUCTION Outline. 1. Paul’s Rebuke 2. Paul’s Reason 3. Paul’s Resolve Remarks. 1. In our lesson today, we will discuss the theme: “He walked not uprightly.” This sermon deals with an important truth to be heard again by the church, and maybe for the first time the religious world. There may ...read more

    Jesus, The Bread Of Life Series

    What did Jesus mean when He said "I am the bread of life" and what difference does that make to us?

    A man had just moved into town and stopped at local restaurant for dinner. The waiter did his best to please him but the man complained that he’d only received one piece of bread with his meal, so the waiter promptly brought him four slices. The man said, "That’s good, but not good enough. I ...read more

    Saved A Wretch Like Me Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,865 views

    People struggle with being called "wretches" (like Amazing Grace has labeled us). The question is - are we "wretches", and if we are - why is that important to know?

    I love to sing so I’m going to ask you sing a couple old hymns with me: “Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that SAVED A WRETCH LIKE ME. I once was lost, but now I’m found. Was blind, but now I see. “At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light, and the burden of my heart rolled away. ...read more

    The Lion, The Lamb And The Throne Room Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 19, 2016
    based on 13 ratings
     | 24,656 views

    Almost everyone has a picture in their minds of what Jesus looks like... but almost no one visualizes Him the way He's shown in Revelation 5. Why does God paint us a portrait of a wounded lamb with 7 horns and 7 eyes?

    A preacher was showing a child a painting of Jesus. Trying to explain that we didn’t really know what Jesus looked like he said: "It's not really Jesus. It’s just an artist's conception of him." The child looked long and hard at the picture and said; "Well, it sure looks like him," ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 13,733 views

    Can you be both a Christian AND a Republican or a Democrat? The answer is no. That doesn't mean you can't register with or work for a party... it's just you can't serve two masters. Do you know why?

    OPEN: I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the Presidential election is officially this Tuesday. How many of you have taken part in early voting? (About 2/3s of the church raised their hand). Whoa. That’s a bunch of you. But I’ve got some bad news for you. In Indiana – ...read more

    Who Do You Say I Am

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Apr 19, 2022
     | 4,922 views

    Jesus asked Simon Peter, "Who do people say that I am?" Peter answered, “John the Baptist, or Elijah, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.” Jesus asked, Who do you say I am? Peter’s answer reverberates across the centuries: "You are the Christ, the son of the living God"

    A Matter Of Life And Death Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 3, 2015
    based on 33 ratings
     | 25,236 views

    Cage fighting is a particularly gruesome way of fighting, and yet Paul used the fighting of his day (more brutal than MMA) to describe Timothy's responsibilities. What could we possibly learn from MMA that could make us better servants of Christ?

    How many of you know the meaning of these letters used to describe a sporting event: MMA? (Mix Martial Arts). It’s kind of like boxing where the contestants not only hit each other with their fists, but also with their feet and knees and elbows. It’s also called “Cage ...read more

    The Sign Of The Sabbath Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 12, 2017
    based on 11 ratings
     | 27,586 views

    Why would Jesus heal a man on the Sabbath and then tell the man (in violation of the Sabbath rules of the Pharisees) to pick up his mat and walk?

    OPEN: There’s a story I read once of 3 umpires who were talking about the feeling of power they had on the baseball field. As they talked about what gave them this sense of empowerment, the 1st umpire said – “I call ‘em as I see ‘em.” The 2nd smiled and said, “That ain’t nothing. I call ‘em as ...read more

    Its time that we get our eyes off the problems and view the invisible.

    “Seeing The Invisible” Text: 2Kings 6:8-19 Intro: “Seeing the invisible” Now that sounds like a paradox and maybe it is a paradox because I know that something invisible is something that you cant see. so how can we view it , or how can we see it.
