    Two Roads To Travel Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Nov 24, 2023
     | 2,770 views

    Jesus has just preached the greatest sermon in all of history in Matthew 5-6. It is known as the Sermon on the Mount. Matthew Chapter 7 is the greatest invitation of all times that concludes Jesus’ sermon. What will you do about what Jesus has said?

    One of the elements of a sermon is the invitation. A sermon is more than information preached. In the invitation there is a call to action. What are you going to do with what you heard? How will you respond to how God has spoken to you? Jesus has just preached the greatest sermon in all of ...read more

    You Are A Part Of The Christmas Story

    I preached this short message at our Christmas Even event. It was preceded (of course) by singing a number of Christmas carols. It was an attempt to include everyone who attended in the Christmas Story. I have several people help read through the long passage of Scripture.

    You are a Part of the Story of Christmas Luke 2:1-20 Read passage… One of the exciting things about the Christmas story is that you are part of the story. I. God sent His Son because he loves you. 1John 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be ...read more

    Message In 1peter – Number 4 – Born Again Through That Which Is Imperishable, But What Is It? – 1peter 1:23 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 9, 2023
     | 1,432 views

    Peter teaches on the new birth. Being born again by the imperishable seed. There can be no regeneration of the human soul in any person’s life, which is dead to God, without the operation of the word of God. Therefore a preacher must be aware of the importance of the quickening word in preaching.

    MESSAGE IN 1PETER – NUMBER 4 – BORN AGAIN THROUGH THAT WHICH IS IMPERISHABLE, BUT WHAT IS IT? – 1Peter 1:23 [A]. INTRODUCTION – BIRTH AND DEVELOPMENT Some people are so delighted when they become grandparents for the first time. They are seeing the continuation of their imprint on human life, ...read more

    Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, And Thomas - Faith, Doubt, And Devotion (Matthew 10:3)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 24, 2025
     | 542 views

    These four men make up the second group of apostles who were chosen by the Lord Jesus to preach the Gosepl These four men came from backgrounds of devotion, doubt, and isolation, yet Jesus chose them to be His followers commissioned to present the Gospel to the world.

    The names of Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, and Thomas are listed after the inner circle of Peter, James, and John. Jesus called Philip personally, showing that He is the “seeking Savior”. Philip was from Bethsaida, the home of Peter and Andrew. These men had probably known each other all their ...read more

    The Double Life Of King Asa

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Nov 5, 2025
     | 409 views

    Many make the mistake of thinking that all the things in the Old Testament no longer apply to our modern age. Even some preachers in their sermon preparation choose to preach out of the New Testament, because they feel that the New Testament is more applicable to today’s congregations.

    While much of the Old Testament did deal with Israel and the ceremonial laws that were given to them, a great deal of it is for us today. For example, we are to learn from the examples of the lives of the characters in the Old Testament. Paul said in Romans 15:4, “For whatsoever things were ...read more

    The Two Pillars Of Godly Support: Belief And Love - 1john 3:23 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 5, 2022
     | 1,240 views

    Some Christians, when they are more established, very imperceptibly, lessen the trust in the Lord, and place it more in their own ability and decision-making. Not consciously, but bit by bit, they take back control of their own lives, and wonder why God seems absent. We look at belief and love.

    MESSAGE – THE TWO PILLARS OF GODLY SUPPORT: BELIEF AND LOVE - 1John 3:23 We will be looking at a verse in the first letter of John but just to place it into context we will look at 4 verses – {{1 John 3 v 21-24, but it is verse 23 that is our focus. 1John 3 v 21 “Beloved, if our heart does not ...read more

    Count It As Joy

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jul 8, 2024
     | 1,651 views

    When faced with the ungodly things of this world, the Bible tells us to "count it all joy." This message looks at how we can do that.

    Count it all Joy Good evening to the Lord’s beloved. Would you please open to Hebrews 12? I “joined” church when I was 10 years old. Back then it meant the same thing as accepting Jesus. I started out as a baby. I didn’t know anything about being a Christian. That was 57 years, six months and 72 ...read more

    Expanding the Kingdom of God during this Church Age is a mandate that is still incumbent upon all churches. If the doors to continued expansion are closing, it may be because we are disobedient, or it may presage the closing of this present age.

    “To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘The words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens. “‘I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have ...read more

     | 3,000 views

    What a day!!! In all of the history of humanity there was never a more important few weeks than the time that passed between the suffering of Jesus on our behalf and the arrival of the Holy Spirit. It is almost too great an event to tell as it cannot be given the justice it deserves!

    Pentecost - The Church Is Born! Today we will be reading from Acts 2:1-13 Last Sunday we took a look at a combination of Jesus’ ascension into Heaven and the Holy Spirit being given to all of humanity on the Day of Pentecost. In doing so we contrasted the work of God in the Old Testament and the ...read more

    Eutychus fell asleep during church... and he woke up dead. Why was Eutychus at church that night, and what can we learn from his experience?

    Someone once noted that falling asleep has often had unforeseen consequences. Adam fell asleep and woke up married and missing a rib! Samson fell asleep and woke up bald and beaten! Jonah fell asleep in the boat and woke up wet! Eutychus fell asleep and he woke up dead! Like Eutychus, people ...read more

    El mundo lo llama tontería. La predicación del Evangelio es poder de Dios.

    Es una tontería predicar un sermón. Cuando te levantas y le dices a la gente que están perdidos y que su única esperanza de salvación reside en la crucifixión y resurrección de Jesús, eso en la forma de pensar del mundo es una tontería. No es que estar ...read more

    In this post-modern culture people often are wondering aimlessly with no direction and worse yet no one to follow. This sermon, preached on Mother’s Day draws some important lessons that can be learned from a Ewe on what Jesus meant when he called us his

    I’ve often said that I’m glad I do what I do because I couldn’t do what my wife does. Mothers are amazing. They’re teachers and disciplinarians. They’re cleaning ladies and doctors, and nurses and psychologists and counselors. They’re coaches and chauffeurs. They’re developers of personalities, ...read more

    What is the connection between the Creche and the Cross... between Christ’s birth and his death. Andy why do we have to talk about Christ’s death at the time of his birth? (This sermon was preached in parts with Jason Lundy doing Part II)

    Attitudes. We’ve all got or seen them. Jesus said we should have some attitudes...so much so that He preached an entire sermon on it...on the mount. Jeremy breaks the sermon on the mount down. We were born to be.

    Matthew 5:1-12 (Message) 1-2 When Jesus saw his ministry drawing huge crowds, he climbed a hillside. Those who were apprenticed to him, the committed, climbed with him. Arriving at a quiet place, he sat down and taught his climbing companions. This is what he said: 3"You’re blessed when you’re at ...read more
