    I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Fear God and Honor the King,” and we’re going to be looking at what the Bible has to say about government, law and order, and the Christian’s behavior in a civil society. I’m going to let you know up front that I’m going to be quoting from numerous ...read more

    I Am Holy Series

    In that moment, when Jesus paid the penalty for our sin, something wonderful happened. He came down from the cross, took all His holiness and wove it into a suit of clothes and gave it to you and me. We walk around today wearing the holiness of Jesus Christ.

    Pastor and author John MacArthur remembers a conversation that he once had with a well-known charismatic pastor who told MacArthur that Jesus sometimes comes into his bathroom while he’s shaving in the morning and puts his arms around him and they talk together. I love MacArthur’s incredulous ...read more

    God Loves A Cheerful Giver

    The “tithe” is not our money; it’s God’s. When we refuse to trust the church in handling the tithe, and feel that we know the best use for it, then this is contempt for God and His Spirit, and we are treading on dangerous ground!

    I remember when my wife and I first got married that she would tell me stories about the Christian camp she attended as a child, because camp meant so much to her growing up. One of the songs they sang at camp was called, “God Loves a Cheerful Giver,” which was about Ananias and Sapphira; and I ...read more

    By extension of Jesus’ prayer, we are warned about compromises. By extension of Jesus’ prayer, we are challenged to live in the Truth.

    JESUS PRAYS (WEEK 3 OF 4): IN THE WORLD John 17:13-19 #JesusPrays RAFT STORY PART 1 Come listen to my story about a young man named Jed.

    Contributed by James Wallace on Apr 28, 2021
     | 3,647 views

    The Heart of the Message to the Hebrews is how to be faithful to Jesus. How can we demonstrate in practical ways our faithfulness to Jesus in light of His faithfulness to us?

    I had an unexpected very emotional experience this past week. At a little after 6 on Tuesday morning I came to page 884, the last page of probably the longest book I have ever read apart from the Bible. As I’ve mentioned previously, I have been reading the massive scholarly work written by ...read more

    In this passage, we learn how faith and hope and love all work together to motivate and sustain our Christian life. Paul gives thanks to the Lord for the Christian in Thessalonica because of their “work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope”

    1 Paul, Silas and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace and peace to you. 2 We always thank God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers. 3 We continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor ...read more

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Apr 28, 2022
     | 4,205 views

    Jacob's daughter Dinah is only mentioned in a few places in Scripture. This story shows how one decision can lead to a whole lot of problems.

    Introduction: Remember the old TV Western, “Wagon Train’? Every episode was called “the So-and-So story”, featuring one character who had some kind of impact or another on the wagon train’s journey to California or wherever. Sometimes the “guest” would impact one of the train’s leaders, too—but ...read more

    My Hope Is Built On…

    A preacher told of going through his father's effects after his dad died, and among the things he found was his father's 7th grade report card.

    Back in the Fall of 1941 this 7th grade report card showed the grading scale on the back of it. There was A, B, C, D, F, and something he'd never seen before: the letter G! Who would have thought there was a grade you could get that was below F. But back then there was. ''F'' of ...read more

    Living In The Kingdom 16 Series

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on May 1, 2022
     | 1,971 views

    In Part 16, we examine what Jesus said about storing up riches in heaven. The term "riches" mean difference things to different people, but what is important is that we value nothing here on earth as more important than God and His Son, Jesus Christ.

    Living in the Kingdom 16 Scripture: Matthew 6:19-24; Proverbs 4:23; Mark 7:20-23 This is a continuation of my series, “Living in the Kingdom.” This morning we will examine what Jesus says about riches in His Sermon on the Mount. We will look at verses nineteen through twenty-four which says, ...read more

    A Lesson In Evangelism From Philip And The Ethiopian Eunuch

    Contributed by Paul Green on May 18, 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

    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
     | 2,484 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

     | 4,090 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
