    Isaiah made it clear on behalf of God that his thoughts are way differant to ours and his ways are much higher than ours, so why would we limit God?

    Isaiah 55: 8-11 This passage talks of a future servant who would save God's people as they returned from exile and followed him. An interesting time of the year, welcome to 2011, well I guess that many of you welcomed the New Year in yesterday. Many of you would have probably have made one of ...read more

    The False Accusation

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 25, 2018
     | 7,784 views

    Maybe you have been the victim of a slander or gossip? Maybe people see you as obsessed with the things of God. Are you a Jesus nut? Good, you are in good company. STOP Lies and gossip directed at those doing God's work with LOVE.

    The False Accusation Mark 3:20-35 When Jesus set out in His ministry with His 12 Disciples there was a tremendous response to His message but an even greater response to the miracles that were being done in the name of God. Jesus and His 12 Disciples were so busy attending to the needs of the ...read more

    Jesus Calms The Storm

    Contributed by Russell Pettus on Jun 26, 2018
     | 30,338 views

    Jesus calming the storm is moving the disciples to a decision of who they think Jesus is. They know him as a rabbi and the Messiah but the only one who can calm the sea is God.

    Jesus Calms the Storm Mark 4:35-41 Lectionary B Proper 7. Introduction One of my favorite commercials of late has been the “Mayhem” commercials by Allstate. Mayhem is everywhere. It is the teenager texting, the storm blowing a tree on your house, the person in a hurry that doesn’t put out a grill ...read more

    Don't Lose Your Head!

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Jul 11, 2024
     | 808 views

    Herod's bad decisions, compromise, and pride created a prime situation in which to be taken advantage of and tricked into executing John the Baptist. We can learn from Herod and learn not to be so gullible.

    THE EXECUTION OF JOHN THE BAPTIST HAS GOT TO BE ONE OF THE MOST INTRIGUING, TANTALIZING, AND SADISTIC PASSAGES IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. ONE MIGHT EVEN QUESTION HOW THIS PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE COULD EVEN QUALIFY FOR A SUNDAY SERMON! JUST THE MARRIAGE ALONE, JOHN THE BAPTIST WAS CORRECT IN REBUKING HEROD ...read more

    Do We Need To Wake Up Our Spiritual Life?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 26, 2023
     | 1,098 views

    Have we fallen asleep spiritually? Is God calling us to wake up? If so, what are we to do? Can we see any similarities with our Scripture and Christians today?

    Our passage of Scripture finds Samuel and Eli to be a little older, but Samuel is still referred to as a boy. Samuel hears his name called while he is sleeping in the temple just before dawn. He quickly approaches Eli, who tells him to return to bed. Samuel is informed by Eli that it is the Lord ...read more

    YOU ARE TO CALL HIM JESUS     LUKE 1:26–56 Introduction As we move through the Christmas season it is easy to overlook the common things we know about the uncommon birth of Jesus.  We know very little about Mary, the mother of Jesus. Lottie Beth Hobbs wrote that she, “holds ...read more

     | 1,812 views

    All of us realize that we are not perfect and that there is humanly no way possible for us to live as if we are. But, it is perfection that we are striving for as we strive to live out all that Jesus taught us about being His disciples.

    Antipas: The Perverse And Putrid Puppet Ruler Of Galilee Series

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 12, 2021
     | 3,152 views

    The story of Herod Antipas is one of treachery, murder, lust, cowardice, deceit, and perversion. He was responsible for the murder of John the Baptist and ridiculed Jesus on the day of His execution. The family of Herod had no redeeming qualities and are examples of unredeemed humanity.

    It would make sense to say that the ministry of the Lord Jesus was attracting a great deal of attention and some scrutiny by virtue of His wondrous teachings, His compassion to all who came to Him in faith and trust, the way He handled the criticisms and pettiness of the Pharisees, His ability ...read more
