Satan's Scam Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Oct 14, 2021

Watch out for Satan's shrewd ways, and reject his lies. God’s Word IS true. God IS generous and good. Please, Believe it!

Several years ago, a middle school in Oregon faced a unique problem. A number of girls began to use lipstick and put it on in the bathroom. After they put on their lipstick, they pressed their lips to the mirrors leaving dozens of little lip prints. Finally, the principal decided something had to ...read more

Be Careful Who You Rent To Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Aug 15, 2012

In our parable today I want you to think Temple of God, and the remarkable fact that God has continually allowed human beings to be his tenants both on the earth and especially here in the Temple.

We remember friends back in BC who had to rent the basement of their house out as most normal people who own houses have to do back there. They had nothing but trouble, people leaving stuff on the stove when they went out for long periods of time, and there’s always the issue of getting the ...read more

Anointed To Speak

Contributed by Jeff Van Wyk on Nov 9, 2012

Words are vehicles which can bring life, but they can also do a lot of harm. That is why our words must be in line with God’s Word. What we say can affect the eternal destiny of others. We are anointed to speak life and that places a responsibility on us

Anointed To Speak SPEAK TO OTHERS If we live in the Spirit we need to walk in the Spirit. We need to be careful what we say. Words are vehicles which can bring life, but they can also do a lot of harm. That is why our words must be in line with God’s Word. Let your speech always be ...read more

Plastic Faith

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025

Artificial leaves look healthy but produce nothing. In Mark 11 Jesus exposes leaf-only religion: a fig tree with no fruit, a crowded temple with no prayer, faith without forgiveness, and leaders without surrender. He clears space for real life with God—fruit, prayer, forgiveness, and obedience.

An artificial plant looks impressive. But it produces nothing. You could easily buy one at a store with thought that it will "bring life to any room." And—sure—it brings the appearance of life. The leaves stay green. They never drop. It never needs water. In fact, if I tried to water it, ...read more

What The Road To Hell Is Paved With Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Aug 2, 2019

In understanding and submitting to Jesus authority, Matthew 21:23-32 shows us: 1) The Confrontation (Matthew 21:23), 2) The Counter Question (Matthew 21:24–27), 3) The Characterization (Matthew 21:28–31a)

Matthew 21:23–32 23 And when he entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching, and said, “By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?” 24 Jesus answered them, “I also will ask you one question, and if you tell ...read more

Go! And Open The Door To Jesus Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Aug 14, 2025

This is not a call to the unbelieving world. This is a call to a church. And it is not a gentle “If you get a moment, let’s talk.” It is urgent. It is personal. And it is eternally important.

Go! And Open the Door to Jesus Introduction — The Knock That Changes Everything If you’ve ever been at home and heard an unexpected knock at the door, you know the feeling.

Who is Jesus?

Topic: God on foot Text: John 1:1 & 14 Introduction: Who is this Jesus…sounds like a silly question in church. Was he teacher, prophet, healer, rabbi, preacher, or was he something more?

You Have The Authority, "So Why Aren't You Using It!

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Apr 11, 2011

God hears us loud and clear the first time when we call on Him, He is ready, willing and able to help us, the moment we do. The thing is though, we don’t have to pray pleading, desperate prayers all the time to get His attention.

You have the Authority “so use it” Exodus 14:15–16 NKJ 15. And the Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward. 16. But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it... The issue with Christians today is ...read more

Commissioned

Contributed by Jason Bonnicksen on Jun 20, 2011

As Christians, we derive our authority directly from Jesus Christ, the universe's highest, sovereign power, and as such, he's charging us to reaffirm our commission to fulfill our duties and responsibilities to go out and make disciples of all nations.

INTRO In just a bit, we’re going turn in our bibles to the Gospel according to Matthew 28, and look at VV 16–20. Specifically, we’re going to see why this portion of scripture is called “The Great Commission,” what that meant for the disciples, and what that means ...read more

Helping The Handicapped
