    The Final Message In Jude – The Glorious But Challenging Doxology – Jude 1:24-25 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 24, 2022
     | 3,757 views

    The closing doxology of Jude's letter is not only glorious, but when analysed, it is specifically challenging to our Christian lives. How do we stand? What about stumbling? How are we blameless? To Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority for ever and ever!

    THE FINAL MESSAGE IN JUDE – THE GLORIOUS BUT CHALLENGING DOXOLOGY – Jude 1:24-25 INTRODUCTION: We have proceeded through Jude slowly, bit by bit, to understand it. Jude began his letter wanting to write to encourage the believers in their common salvation, but then the urgency of contending for ...read more

    Zigzagginig In Ziklag Series

     | 3,470 views

    We find David in despair and anxiety and perhaps believing lies in his spirit and he sets himself apart from God and compromises who he is and his relationship with God.

    THE VERY RELATABLE LIFE OF KING DAVID ZIGZAGGING IN ZIKLAG 1 Samuel 27:1-12 #kingdavid INTRODUCTION… ZigZag, google.com/books/edition/Word_Origins_And_How_We_ Know_ Them/sMiRc-JFIfMC?q=zigzag Some words in the English language are more fun than others. ‘Shananigans’ is a fun word that literally ...read more

     | 3,083 views

    •Shem was one of the sons of Noah in the book of Genesis, the book of Chronicles, and the Quran. Genesis 11:10 records that Shem was 100 years old at the birth of Arphaxad, two years after the Flood, and that he lived for another 500 years after this, making his age at death 600 years.

    ? Facts About Shem, A Son of Noah ? •Scholars are unsure whether Shem is Noah's eldest or youngest son. ? •The children of Shem were Elam, Ashur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram, and unnamed daughters. ? •Parent(s) Noah ? •Shem was one of the sons of Noah in the book of Genesis, the book of ...read more

    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.

    TRILOGY PSALMS (22.23.24) PSALM 23 – THE SUPERB SHEPHERD – HIS CARE AND WORK AS THE SHEPHERD – JESUS CHRIST IN PERFECTION A Bible Study in Three Psalms – the Trilogy Psalms 22, 23, 24.

    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

    Come Home To The Lord Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 12, 2022
     | 3,281 views

    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

    Because Jesus is faithful to His promises, we must be ready for His return.

    Beth and I were up in Wisconsin last weekend to help her parents winterize their home. We had a very pleasant drive, especially after purchasing some squeaky cheese curds. When we arrived in Sturgeon Bay, I saw a sign announcing a roundabout ahead and became immediately nervous. If you’re not ...read more

    A Sermon I Need To Hear

     | 3,705 views

    Today I want to preach on A SERMON I NEED TO HEAR. And I think probably everyone here also need to hear.

    LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION? Have you ever wondered why God is so good to lost people when they do not reciprocate in their feelings toward Him? Illus: Perhaps the answer can be illustrated by the story of the little girl who went to her mother to show her some fruit her friend gave her. • The ...read more

    God's Gift To Us: A Christmas Message Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Dec 22, 2021
     | 13,328 views

    No one lobbied Him as you would a senator. No one petitioned Him, as might your boss or your teacher. And no one solicited Him to do this as you might barter with someone in the marketplace. None of that was necessary for God, for the Father willingly offered up His one and only Son as a gift.

    Merry Christmas from my family to yours! It’s at Christmastime that we give gifts, and we receive gifts. This is why retailers are so happy with Christmas in a way they’re not happy with the Fourth of July, for example or Easter. At the other holidays, we don’t give gifts like we do at Christmas. ...read more

    What Did You Get For Christmas?

     | 2,780 views

    The secularists today are doing everything they can do to wipe out the meaning of Christmas. They would like to make it so that the name of Christ can not be mentioned at ANYTIME at ANYPLACE.

    The secularist will not be happy until they: • Remove every nativity scene from public properties • Remove God’s name from the pledge of allegiance • Remove God’s name from every coin • Remove every Christmas carol that talks about God from the schools • Remove all the Christian drama from ...read more

    The somewhat odd story of Jeremiah and the Girdle.

    Jeremiah 13:1-11 January 16, 2022 A.M. You folks out there who have had the opportunity to teach children KNOW that one of the best ways to really get something into their heads is to use OBJECT LESSONS.
