Reflecting And Sharing The Lord's Glory

Contributed by Jon Lipka on Mar 4, 2012

As believers, we have seen the Lord's glory, and we should reflect His radiance to the world.

I. Luke 9:28 a. Christ took Peter, James, and John up with Him by themselves. i. Not all the disciples get to see the same vision. ii. Only closest friends went. If we want to see Jesus glory, we must be close, committed to Him—lukewarm friendship isn’t enough. iii. Not all were ...read more

Too Fat To Serve?

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Mar 11, 2016

Thin may be in, but fat is where it's at! ;-) We make too many judgment calls on girth when it appears God has no problem using a POG (Person Of Girth) We have a wrong definition of gluttony.

We were discussing on FaceBook an article by Kirk Cameron, “Is It A Sin To Be Fat?” I have provided the link below for your edification. D. L. Moody and Charles Spurgeon were both 5' 9" tall and weighed 350 lbs. Both won over a million people to Christ. If it is a sin, it would appear ...read more

The Crucifixion In Psalm 22 Series

Contributed by Joseph Marshall on Nov 21, 2022

This Psalm is one of the most amazing Messianic Psalms. This is a Psalm of David, and yet (like most prophetic writings) the words move beyond the immediate meaning and refer to something grander yet future – in this case, the sufferings of Jesus upon the cross.

The Pre - Eminent Master Key

Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Mar 14, 2023

Growing In Wisdom: Even 12 Year Old Jesus Needed To Learn

Contributed by Jessica Linde on Jan 6, 2025

By looking at the story of 12 year old Jesus wandering away from Mary and Joseph to go to the Jerusalem Temple, this sermon’s ultimate goal is to highlight that Jesus is fully Man as well as fully God, thus He needed to "grow in wisdom" just like the rest of us.

Because today marks the Christian feast of Epiphany—the day in which the Three Kings (the Magi) finally arrived in Bethlehem to adore the newly born Christ Child—this also means that today marks the official end to the liturgical season of Christmas! ?Now for some of us here, this might be a sad ...read more
