    Guidepost One – The Scandal Of Grace Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 26, 2025
     | 261 views

    Grace shocks and saves; at the cross justice is fulfilled, and forgiven people live mercy and truth in a broken world.

    Introduction – When Grace Feels Wrong Imagine this. A well-known local businessman is caught embezzling millions. He is tried, convicted, and the sentence is ready to be pronounced. The courtroom is full of victims—employees who lost jobs, retirees whose pensions are gone. Everyone leans forward ...read more

    Our Lord Never Gives Up

    Imagine one being divine for a couple of weeks. Not like Jesus Christ, who as Second Person of the Trinity emptied Himself of everything to become man, all the way to a cross.

    Twenty-Fourth Sunday in Course 2022 One of the critical prophetic statements in the OT is in the book of Hosea (11:9). Hosea hears God tell him about the divine intention toward the kingdom of Israel: “I will not. . .destroy Ephraim. For I am God and not man–the Holy One among you–and I will not ...read more

    Why does God call for the brutal killing of so many people in the book of Revelation? Have you ever wondered why God told the Jews to completely wipe out certain groups of people in the OT? Doesn’t God love? How could a loving God take such drastic measur

    Elisha stayed faithful to his obscure assignment, nowhere near where other prophets hung out. But God saw his dedication. 330 miles away, God spoke his name to the greatest O.T. prophet. God hasn't forgotten you. Do your best too!

    BURN THE PLOW & ROAST THE COW I KGS. 19:19-21 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A farmer decided he knew as much as any doctor, so he opened a doctor’s office.

    The Snake On The Pole

     | 10,556 views

    Let nothing--nothing!--turn your attention from your snake on the pole--let nothing distract you from your Savior on the cross. Through such seemingly silly ways, God gives to you--not a snake on the pole--but His Son on the cross.

    Introduction That whole snake-on-a-pole thing must have sounded insane to some of the Israelites. Stare at a bronze serpent and you’ll be healed? That sounds ridiculous. It must’ve sounded just silly enough that some Israelites started looking for more reasonable solutions to the ...read more

    What Manner Of Man Is This?

    Contributed by Val Black on Apr 11, 2022

    Life is like crossing a sea. One of the things we learn as we cross the sea of life is that it's not always smooth sailing. But every born-again Christian has Someone in the boat Who will calm the storm and guarantee they will get to the other side.

    (I cannot in full honesty claim credit for this message. Of course, the Holy Spirit should always be credited but the main idea and most of the passages are from a message I came across many years ago. I do not remember where or who it was from except it spoke to me and I knew it was anointed. ...read more

    What did Jesus mean when He said, "It is finished" on the cross? What was finished? The crucifixion? His life on earth? Or, the plan of salvation?

    Our quarterly memory Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:11-13 “Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with Him, we will also live with Him; if we endure, we will also reign with Him.

    Discover Jesus’ true understanding of God and mankind through His last words on the cross (A Good Friday Devotional)

    Words from a dying man can be fearful, resentful or senile, but rarely confident. These last words from the lips of Jesus were confident. These words reflect a true understanding of God and mankind. With such understanding Jesus responded confidently on the cross. Jesus said in Luke 23:24, ...read more

    Jesus Our Pastor Guides Us To Rebuke And To Live With Purpose!

    We can see how quickly satan can attack. In a short time Peter went from confessing Jesus to rebuking Jesus. Jesus teaches us how we can be on guard against our wiley foe as well as how to live with purpose for Him.

    (see also Mark 8:27-30) for context. Dear beloved in Christ... In our Gospel reading there is much to grab our attention as Jesus is in process of predicting his death and resurrection. We hear about how Jesus must suffer many things and that we are called to take up our cross and follow Jesus. ...read more

    Very rarely will one sinner be willing to die another; but even with all of our imperfections and rebellion against God, Jesus Christ willingly gave His life for everyone.

    Romans, Part 15 Romans 5:5-8 Introduction - Access to God is something that mankind has not had since the Garden - In Romans 1:18-32 we saw God’s wrath and what He is capable of bringing - But through the sacrifice of Jesus we now have access to God’s love and mercy - Ephesians 2:18, “For ...read more
