     | 4,193 views

    There was great initial acclaim for King Saul. His kingship was dramatically renewed at Gilgal. Now we come abruptly to the end of King Saul’s glory days. As a result of Saul failing the test the dynasty will pass from his family.

    If you have ever been in a situation where you must totally wait on and trust God, then you know how hard that can be. King Saul found himself in one of those situations where he must trust God. This will be a test of his character as king of Israel. He is Israel’s first king ending the period of ...read more

    Jeremiah Is The Prepared Prophet – Youth To God’s Man Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 2, 2022
     | 2,218 views

    The call of Jeremiah has challenges for us and we look at them. Abortion and the unborn are examined from God's perspective. How many sit down and laboriously draft and redraft some message straining to “polish” some sermon. Just speak what God has given!

    JEREMIAH IS THE PREPARED PROPHET – YOUTH TO GOD’S MAN {{Jeremiah 1:1-3 “The words of Jeremiah, the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, to whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his ...read more

    The Advice That Can Divert You From God’s Will

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Feb 23, 2018
     | 3,894 views

    Looking at those who shouted at Christ while He was on the cross, this sermon explores how their demands would have led Christ directly away from doing God's will. How often does the advice the world gives us every day do the same thing?

    ADVICE FROM THE CROWD: “Good advice” from the world can divert you from God’s will for your life. - Mark 15:29-32. - While Jesus is on the cross, the crowd throws several suggestions His way. When you dig into them a little, it’s interesting to see how deeply counterproductive they are. There ...read more

     | 3,011 views

    A look at three things the Bible says will impact the severity with which God judges a person.

    A TRUTH FOR EVERYONE: Let’s begin by establishing that everyone gets judged by God. - 1 Corinthians 3:10-15; Revelation 20:11-15. - Those who have accepted Christ will be judged for rewards; those who have not accepted Christ will be judged for their sin. But everyone faces a moment of standing ...read more

    God does not look at us the way we (and others) look at us. God looks at us with love and value because He made us and He made us in His image.

    Gaining More Confidence To Claim God’s Promises Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Sep 12, 2018
     | 8,023 views

    If Paul here says that all God's promises are "yes" in Jesus, how can I have more confidence to claim those promises?

    “‘Yes’ In Christ”: We are missing out on a great verse to boost our confidence in answered prayer. - 2 Corinthians 1:20. - This is such a great verse and yet it’s one that doesn’t get the attention it deserves. This is one that is worth regularly quoting in prayer. It’s just a vibrant ...read more

    Names Of God: Adonai, God Our Master And Owner Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Aug 1, 2022
     | 2,400 views

    The name Adonai occurs about 300 times in the Old Testament. Every time it’s used it’s written as a possessive plural form. So it could actually be read as “my Lords” which reminds us that God is a trinity, of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

    "Servant" in our English New Testament usually represents the Greek doulos (bondslave). Sometimes it means diakonos (deacon or minister); this is strictly accurate, for doulos and diakonos are synonyms. Both words denote a man who is not at his own disposal, but is his master's ...read more

    When A Teenager Held Back God’s Judgment Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Aug 29, 2022
     | 1,885 views

    Josiah stands strong for what's right and, in the course of doing that, holds off God's judgment on a nation.

    When a Teenager Held Back God’s Judgment: 1. Sometimes it takes a new generation to move back toward God. - 2 Chronicles 34:1-3. - He’s a young man: eight when he begins to rule and sixteen when he begins seeking the Lord. - It’s easy for us to berate and deride the younger generations, but ...read more

    When was the last time you realised, that you have a God-given responsibility to tell others about who is supposed to be the most important part of your life? The one you are meant to love with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind.

    Who can you invite to God’s family? For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
