The Light Of The World Has Come

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 14, 2022

Before His coming, the world dwelt in darkness. Jesus is the True Light. Whoever lives in the truth comes into the light; others prefer darkness, because their deeds are evil. What about you; do you have any dark spots in your life?

THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD HAS COME John 8:12 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Robert Baptista was attending his church’s program and noticed how many men were wearing full beards.

Introducing The World-Changing Servant Of The Lord Series

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Sep 4, 2022

God sends his Servant, and what does He do? In short, Christ rebuilds the covenant. He reconciles enemies. He restores the earth. He sets the prisoners free. He shepherds his flock in peace and goodness. And He does one more thing: He builds roads!

Time and again Isaiah brings Genesis to our minds—Genesis, that amazing book of beginnings. Like in Isaiah 44, where God calls himself, ‘The First and the Last,’ for God is the one who existed before all things and who called everything into being. Or chapter 40, where God recalls the story of how ...read more

The Holy Spirit's Indwelling

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Sep 7, 2022

As I deliver this message, I want you to silently ask yourself, “Can I truthfully say that the Holy Spirit lives in me.”

I'm not sure if I am the only one that does this or not. Growing up, if I was ever walking down a dark country road by myself, I found myself whistling, or singing, or humming an old familiar gospel song. It seemed like it made everything safer. It made me feel protected as I drew myself ...read more

Glory In The Cross

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 30, 2022

When it comes to salvation, can we boast about anything? The Apostle Paul chose to boast about just one thing, and it had nothing to do with himself.

The book of Galatians was written by the Apostle Paul to combat false teaching that the Galatian Christians had believed. Paul says to them, “who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth?” The Judaizers were the culprits, stating that circumcision was essential for salvation along with ...read more

What The Bible Teaches About Baptism

Contributed by Grant Adams on Sep 26, 2021

Baptism is an outward picture of an inward change that happened at salvation. It is the first act of obedience to our new life in Christ.

The Great Commission of evangelizing the world was given to the New Testament church. Our job is not complete until the convert is baptized.

Charting A New Course

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Sep 28, 2021

Many people choose to live in the valley of indecision. Deciding not to choose, is still a decision. Unless you are willing to cross over Jordan, we cannot become who God is calling us to be and never possess what God desires for us.

What Must I Do To Be Saved? Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 15, 2012

A holy life lived to the glory of God attracts outsiders to ask, "What must I do to be saved?"

“What must I do to be saved?” [1] I fear many vital, even essential words are disappearing from common usage today. Society as a whole is becoming linguistically impoverished. Some words have been misappropriated; they will never be returned to their proper place in English vocabulary. “Gay,” ...read more
