Lifted Up To Heal Us

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Apr 13, 2015

All that we have and all we know come to us from our God and so many of us are ungrateful for it. In fact we are impatient for more.

Message: Numbers 21:4-9 John 12:31-34 Our God is a patient God. By that I mean that our Heavenly Father is waiting for sinners to come to Him through repentance. God does not force us in front of His throne. We are not dragged there by heavenly soldiers to face the consequence of our ...read more

Rejoice In The Joy Of The Lord

Contributed by Jawahar Singh on Jan 2, 2015

Rejoice in the Joy of the LORD.....What is the joy of the Lord?.... Our forced actions of joy does not force God to work in our lives, instead His Mighty Works force us to rejoice. Only we should continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel.

As we journey through life sometimes we face difficult situations and go through periods of depression and frustration. Even then because we know that the joy of the Lord is our strength ( Neh 8:10), we try to maintain our joy and rejoice. Also we read about Paul and Silas who rejoiced in their ...read more

Lazarus was raised from dead after 4 days of his death. This has been quite a normal sermon we hear from our childhood, but there are 7 lessons we can learn for our daily living.

What are those 7 lessons we can learn from? 1. GOD'S LOVE MUST BE HIGHLIGHTED NOT OUR LOVE: John 11:3 - Whom YOU LOVE is sick - - Here the love of Lazarus towards Jesus was not highlighted but the LOVE OF JESUS towards Lazarus was highlighted. Which tells us that not that we do for God is ...read more

What Is The Value Of Children In The Church?

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Sep 7, 2021

Children of the church can be viewed as those who are new to the church. Why will the church leaders not listen to these people? Time to leave power behind and lead!

Mark 10:13 And they were bringing children to Him so that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked them. 14 But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, "Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15 ...read more

Explained: Ineffectiveness In Prayer.

Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Aug 18, 2022

Why then are we hindered in our prayer life? Because we lack the understanding of what we are up against when we pray. Hence, a prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian. And a powerful believer is a prayerful believer. Prayer can be vocalized, or said silent, and with tears.

Many songs have been written over the years that encourages a believer to pray. I remember fondly one of the songs I learned in my early days when I was converted to the faith. The song was titled "Prayer is the key". I memorized the song out of my love and joy for singing church hymnals. ...read more

A Buried Treasure And A Pricy Pearl

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Feb 15, 2017

The Church is seen as a treasure our Heavenly Father wants to present to His Son. To fill the treasure box Jesus came to buy us as pearls of great price. When the time is right to present the gift of the treasure it will be filled with pearls

A buried treasure and a pricy pearl Matthew 13:44-46 44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. ...read more

Jesus, Son Of David, Have Mercy Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 23, 2021

Jesus can bring all of humanity back together in His community, in His Church, in His Kingdom.

The prophet Jeremiah has a really bad rep. Of course, his prophetic book doesn’t help that much when one of his most famous prayers to God is “Thou hast deceived me, O Lord, and I am deceived: thou hast been stronger than I, and thou hast prevailed. I am become a laughing-stock all the day, all ...read more

A Self-Centered Hothead Meets God’s Providence Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on May 17, 2021

Today’s sermon is about a childless couple unexpectedly blessed with a grape-less son who ends up being a womanizing hothead hippie, marries the enemy, has a hobby of setting fox’ tails on fire, gets put in prison just because he gets a haircut, and dies of fallen arches. This is how it happened.

A Self-centered Hothead Meets God’s Providence (Judges 13-16) Some people think that God using someone means God endorsing someone. God uses two types of people: 1. Those He uses because of their close walk with Him. 2 Timothy 2:21, “Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is ...read more

Sermon Title: The Promise. Scripture Text: Jeremiah 33:14-16 On this first Sunday of Advent, no one can read the prophecy of a “righteous Branch” springing up from the line of David in anything but a messianic light. The circumstances in which the prophecy was first spoken and heard was like ...read more

Internal Sharing Of Jesus’ Light

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Dec 28, 2022

The church needs to fix its internal spiritual awareness issues now. Then it would be equipped to go out into the world.

Koplitz John 8:12 Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.” 13 So the Pharisees said to Him, “aYou are testifying about ...read more

Giving Thanks Unto The Lord Series

Contributed by Ricky Tuttle Thd on Sep 8, 2023

As we look at the many prayers in the Bible I am reminded that there are many subjects in prayer. Today I want to look at the important prayer of Giving Thanks.

The Courtyard (Exodus 38)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Sep 18, 2024

How does the courtyard of the tabernacle begin to introduce us to Jesus? Let's look at Exodus 38.

The courtyard of the tabernacle contained the altar of sacrifice. Did this picture the ultimate sacrifice of God’s Son? It also contained the laver or wash basin. Did this picture baptism and the cleansing of the church by Jesus? Does the detail teach us not to be sloppy in our approach to ...read more

Blessings And Sacrifice

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Oct 23, 2024

In the Kingdom the greatest blessings often come after great sacrifice. Titles and position sometimes do not bring what people desire because they are promoted to their level of incompetence.

Mark 10:32 And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him, 33 Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of ...read more

A Warning Against Conflict

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Oct 28, 2025

Why would Jesus tell us He came to cause conflict? It is actually a warning.

A Warning Against Conflict Luke 12:49-53 Rabbi Rev. Dr. Michael H.
