    Trilogy Psalms (22.23.24) Psalm 23 – The Superb Shepherd – His Care And Work As The Shepherd – Jesus Christ In Perfection Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 8, 2022
     | 2,874 views

    Psalm 23 is one of the greats and it reveals the true care of our true Shepherd. David knew the Lord's guidance and feeding, just as he himself cared for his own sheep. The message looks at Jesus as the Shepherd of the sheep.

    God Sends A Preacher Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,616 views

    Are we still waiting for the gospel, eager to hear the preaching? Do we come to church hungry for the food of the Word? To you and me it will be good news only if we realize how much we need it—how much we need the Lord every day, and every hour.

    We’re about to do something very old-fashioned. It’s not often anymore that people will sit down for thirty or forty minutes, and listen to another person talking: without interruption, without visual aids, or any active engagement of the audience. But that’s what a sermon is. And so a sermon is an ...read more

    Again, God says, “Return to me, and I will return to you.” The Lord says, “I don’t want this distance between us, RETURN, come back home!”

    Consider this: An archbishop was carrying more than $460,000 across the border from Lebanon to Israel in the past month. I think immediately, “What’s a religious priest doing with that much money! How in the world did he think he was going to bring this through customs!” As the priest attempted to ...read more

    A Lesson In Evangelism From Philip And The Ethiopian Eunuch

    Contributed by Paul Green on May 19, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,237 views

    When Philip introduces the Ethopian Eunuch to Jesus – he does it God’s way. Philip wasn't an Apostle like Peter, a missionary like Paul, or a pastor like Timothy. He was a deacon, a servant of the church, an ordinary, average man who just couldn’t keep God to himself.

    There was a man on a business trip and when he checked in he was given one of the middle seats on the airplane. He was tired and he all he wanted to do was sleep, so he got a little bit irritated when the young girl sat next to him started to ask questions: “Mister, do you brush your teeth?” “Yes,” ...read more

    Peter and the disciples thought they were going fishing for some fish. But the Master Fisherman used it is an object lesson to catch them for His Grand and Eternal Purposes.

    A rather intriguing and controversial news item hit the news stands and the media in the last week. A mega-church pastor in Atlanta got into trouble with the law. That’s not particularly unusual, but the reason for the trouble with this pastor was. Pastor Creflo Dollar of the 30,000-member World ...read more

    A Welcome Change In Government Series

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on May 26, 2022
     | 2,483 views

    Christ is Lord even over those who seem to have all the influence today. They’re not running things, He is. They’re not shaping history, He is. None can override him, for Christ holds the keys. He will be forever secure on his throne!

    A change in government is always a big deal: there are new cabinet members to choose, new policies to begin implementing, new office spaces to move into. The old is quickly shuffled to one side, and the new is put into the spotlight. In our text today, we see something similar. Isaiah 22 describes ...read more

    The Great Tribulation Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 1, 2022
     | 4,089 views

    This will be a day like there has never been before. This time of intense trouble will go on longer than we want and it will be more intense than we want. Jesus seems to tell us that this time of mega affliction or Great Tribulation will be just before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

    When the book of Daniel opened, we met a young man, no more than a middle-school-aged student. Now, as Daniel closes, we see a man who is advanced in years and probably around his mid-80s. Daniel has dared to stand alone for God in a hostile environment. He has clearly shown us that a powerful ...read more

    The Christian Principles

    Contributed by Rev. Duraimony Dickson on Jun 5, 2022

     | 3,468 views

    Jesus talks about asking, seeking, and knocking. It's all about the privilege that we have to make our requests known unto God through prayer.

    The Christian Principles Today let us meditate on Matthew 7:7-12. Chapters five, six, and seven of Matthew are Jesus delivered sermons on the mount on the northern coast of the Sea of Galilee. “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For ...read more

    A Preview Of When God Ends Suffering Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 6, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,875 views

    There are only two possible ways you can approach God - with belief or unbelief. You either believe God, or you don’t believe him. You either put faith in Christ, or you don’t put faith in Christ. You only come to Him by faith in Jesus Christ, or you don’t come to Him at all.

    As most of you know, an eighteen-year-old young man took twenty-one lives at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, TX, on Tuesday. Nineteen of these lives were elementary-aged children. This is the deadliest school shooting in Texas history and it’s incomprehensible to me that we have such a category. ...read more

    The Portrait Of A Godly Father

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jun 18, 2022
     | 3,599 views

    When we consider Jesus’ audience, there is a much deeper truth. Jesus shows the sinners, publicans, scribes and the pharisees what God is really like and he paints a picture of a Godly Father.

    Sermon: The Portrait of a Godly Father Text: Luke 15: 1-24 1 Tax collectors and other notorious sinners often came to listen to Jesus teach. 2 This made the Pharisees and teachers of religious law complain that he was associating with such sinful people—even eating with them! 3 So Jesus told them ...read more

    In the 1992 presidential election, family values became one of the main issues when the candidates began campaigning.

    Immediately the liberals made such mockery of bringing it up that the subject was dropped and barely mentioned any more, because the anti-family people made it seem that they were in the majority. The politicians who were for family values, realized that if they were going to stand a chance of ...read more
