Sermons on Templ:

A New Covenant

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 24, 2018

Before Jesus can bring about the New Covenant He must ride into Jerusalem as was prophesied by Zechariah. The Temple courts have become a market of greed and gain instead of a place of spiritual discourse. What has worship become in our day and age?

Message: Today we turn to the Old Testament to once again reveal the events of the New Testament. We are nearly there, nearly at Jesus Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem, nearly seated at the Last Supper, nearly gathered in prayer at the Garden of Gethsemane. We are nearly at the time of Jesus ...read more

How To Be Right With God

Contributed by John Hamby on Jul 16, 2018

Two men went to the Temple to pray. One is a religious leader. The other is a dishonest, man who has no qualms about ripping people off for his one advantage. Which of these two do you think is going to leave in a right relationship with God!

Chapter 45 Tower Of Shechem Burned Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 18, 2021

The tower of Shechem is where the elite of Shechem lived. It was part of the Temple of Baal-berith, and though we don’t know its location relative to the city, we do know that it served as the fortress to which the leaders of Shechem fled from the onslaught of Abimelech.

Judgment Against Lawyers And Pharisees Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Sep 22, 2017

Today’s lesson is about the conversation between Jesus and a certain Pharisee that took place during dinner. Jesus says many of those things to the Pharisee and his guests that He will say to them later in the temple. Jesus is consistent in what He says

Judea Lesson: Judgment Against Lawyers and Pharisees (Micah 6:8) Luke 11:37-54 Jesus was a dinner guest in the home of a Pharisee, but He did not flatter His host or the other guests by avoiding the truth.

Will Christians Go Through The Tribulation Period? (Ix) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Mar 1, 2021

Matthew's prediction of the Abomination of Desolation is compared to Luke's account of the destruction of the temple in 70 AD. Rightly diving this portion of the Olivet Discourse is crucial to understanding end-time prophecy. The focus of this message is Matthew 24:15-31.

Last week we examined the first part of Jesus’s Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24:1-14. In that portion of the prophecy Jesus told us the conditions that would exist during this current age: deception, wars, pestilence, earthquakes, persecution, etc. In verse 8 He uses the metaphor of labor pains ...read more

Haggai Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 22, 2022

The Lord asks, "Is it a time for you to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house (the Temple) lies in ruins?" – Haggai 1:4. This is one of the most piercing questions in all scripture, especially given our wealth in this country.

Haggai Haggai wrote during one of the most challenging times in Jewish history. His prophecies inspired the people to persevere and stay committed to God during that difficult time. Aside from the fact that he was a prophet, we know little about the man. His name means "festival," perhaps ...read more

Sermon # 44 - He Dwelt Among Us Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 21, 2023

The tabernacle, the temple, the sacrifices and worship in the Old Testament were all pointers to the coming of the Saviour, who would dwell among men. See how beautifully this plan of God unfolded so mankind could be saved from their sins, and have life eternal.

We read in John 1:14, And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us. And we beheld His glory, glory as of an only begotten from the Father, full of grace and of truth. (LITV) The above mentioned verse expounds how the Word became flesh, and made his dwelling or tabernacle among us. If we ...read more

Who Was Melchizedek And Why Should We Care? Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 18, 2025

Our psalm today describes King David and his successors as priest-kings in the order of Melchizedek. David, like Melchizedek, functioned during his reign as King of Jerusalem, but there were times he presided at sacrifices, before his son built the Temple.

Solemnity of the Body and Blood of the Lord 2025 If the name “Melchizedek” does not bring any pictures into your head, please don’t feel uneducated. We are given today just a snatch from the story in the Book of Genesis. You may know that the Israelites assembled Torah over a period of many years, ...read more

The Veil Torn

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 12, 2025

When Jesus died, God Himself tore the temple curtain from top to bottom—forever removing every barrier between His holiness and our hearts. The way into His presence is wide open, not by our efforts or rituals, but by the finished work of Christ.

Introduction – A Wall Comes Down, A Veil Is Rent Down I still remember the summer of 1964 when our family crossed from West Germany into East. We were crammed into a Volkswagen bus—my parents up front, four sisters and two brothers jammed shoulder to shoulder. The youngest, little Sarah, was still ...read more

How To Build A Church (Spiritually) Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Sep 11, 2023

We must remember that building any physical structure is a tool to build the church spiritually. You should know the Bible has a lot to say about building the church spiritually too.

Our church has been thinking a lot about our new building in our new location. Since the month of May three hundred loads of dirt has been delivered to prepare the lot. A foundation has been poured. Volunteers have worked security at the site around the clock. So many of us have given ...read more
