     | 10,994 views

    In the ancient past, God protected Israel with a pillar of fire by night/cloud by day while they were in the wilderness. The pillar/cloud were both tangible manifestations of the presence of God, Shekinah Glory.

    Today we’re going to look at the second half of the list of qualifications for Elders from Titus 1:8-9 and then we’re going to take a brief look at the role of Deacons in the church.

    Today is my 25th birthday! Some of you look skeptical because you’re sure I’m older than that. Through the witness of my college roommate, I was born spiritually on October 3rd, 1979. Actually, I wish I acted older than I am. While I’m thankful for all the changes that Christ has made in my life, ...read more

    Party On! Series

     | 2,754 views

    We all know that there were parties last evening, some that lasted well into the morning hours. But I venture to say that these parties were not celebrations of religious faith, such as the ones implied by today’s Scriptures.

    Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God Party On! Today’s Scriptures are so brief that if our minds are not focused, we might not remember any of them. I’ve wondered if that was an act of mercy on the part of those who back in the 1960's put together the three-year cycle of readings, and saw New ...read more

    The 10th plague was more frightening than all the others: Death was being loosed in the streets! No bolted door or barred window could keep it out. Then the voice of mercy spoke: "All who take refuge under the Blood will be spared!

    GOD SEES THE BLOOD! Ex. 12:3-13; 1 Cor. 5:7 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: “4 worms in Church" 1. A minister decided to add a visual demonstration about the evil habits of modern society. 2. Four worms were placed into four separate jars. a. 1st - put into a container of alcohol. b. ...read more

    This sermon explores how trust in Jesus transforms troubles, promises peace in perplexity, and bestows benefits through belief, encouraging openness to God's transformative truth.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, brothers, and sisters in Christ, we gather here today to be nourished by the Word of God, to be reminded of His love and mercy, and to be stirred by His Spirit. We gather in the presence of God, in the fellowship of saints, and in the joy of shared faith. We are here not ...read more

    The human race lost its way in the garden of Eden, and for thousands of years a return to the garden was prevented by the flaming sword. But at the proper time, Jesus knocked down the barrier of sin and made a way to return to the state of blessedness.

    Note: I have prepared a set of PowerPoint slides that I used in delivering this sermon.

    The Book Of Lamentations – Part 45 – At Last The People Owned Their Sin But It Had Caused Such Physical Suffering - Lamentations 5:16-17 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 14, 2025
     | 206 views

    At last the people recognised their sinfulness and why they were suffering. Judah had lost its majesty and spendor. That is what sin does. The survivors were physically affected by their sin. We look briefly at Christian ministry, and then at what the Lord endured on the cross.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 45 – AT LAST THE PEOPLE OWNED THEIR SIN BUT IT HAD CAUSED SUCH PHYSICAL SUFFERING - Lamentations 5:16-17 Lamentations chapter 5 is a whole set of laments from the people and possibly from Jeremiah himself. In the main they are quite unpleasant for most of the ...read more

    The first thing an Israelite could see, when facing the tabernacle, was this vast fence that surrounded the courtyard. Why was it there, and what can it teach us about our faith?

    OPEN: There are all kinds of doors in this world. There are doors on this church building. Doors at the entrance to the Mall. There are garage doors, house doors, bathroom doors, closet doors.

    Christianity In The Public Square: The Apologetics & Philosophy Renaissance

     | 2,529 views

    Christianity in the public square? For the public good? The people of the United State are divided in many ways, but in this area the consensus seems to be: Sure you can practice your religion, as long as you do it behind closed doors on Sunday.

    You and I were created for community. That’s why our topic this morning is so important. You were made to have intimate relationships, to serve people lavishly, to share the stuff that you have, to build into the lives of the people around you, to have p

    Making an Impact: Caring for Other Believers It’s been said that the church is like a family. I’ve always wondered about this because some of the families I know don’t function all that well.

    based on 38 ratings
     | 31,881 views

    Jesus saved us to live a wild and adventurous life. But how can we do that? We're not apostles like Peter and John were. We don't have their courage and experience. We're just common ordinary folks... or are we?

    OPEN: When we first started this series, I sang the chorus to “Born To Be Wild” (by Steppenwolf). This morning I want to sing for you the 1st phrase of the first verse of that song: “Get your motor runnin' - Head out on the highway. Lookin' for adventure and whatever comes our ...read more

    He Chose The Nails Series

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 4, 2026
     | 113 views

    In the Passion story, the nails seem like a small detail. Just hardware. Just instruments. Just metal. But the nails of the cross were the HINGE OF HISTORY. They were the point where DIVINE LOVE MET HUMAN REBELLION. They were the moment where ETERNITY TOUCHED TIME.

    TAGLINE: The nails did not hold Jesus to the cross—His love did. But those nails still preach a gospel we dare not ignore.

    Why does Luk mention that believers were first called Christians at Antioch?

    First Called Christians at Antioch Acts 11:19-26 This passage follows the conversion of the Roman Centurion, Cornelius. God had opened the door for the Gentiles to come in. It took divine intervention to make it happen. First or all, Peter had to receive a vision from the Lord to direct him to go. ...read more
