     | 2,795 views

    The Lord Jesus Christ is The True Shepherd of the sheep. He came as The Seeking Shepherd who would die for the sins of the world. Each one He seeks and saves, He then adds that one to His sheepfold where he cares for them all and leads them in love.

    “I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD” – HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE - John 10 – PART 1 [A]. OPENING UP THE SUBJECT It would be a most interesting exercise to put 10 theologians together and ask them, “Which is the most important of the I AMs found in the Gospel of John?” What would your answer be? One would ...read more

    The sermon portrays Joseph knocking on the door and the Inn Keeper said, "there is no room." Also let us consider our response as Jesus is knocking on our hearts door and who will get the door.

    “The Knock” Luke 2: 1-7 Dr. Bill Wilson was preaching a sermon explaining how the inn keeper just simply had no room for Jesus in the inn; as a result the Savior had to be born in meager circumstances in a manger for cattle. Explaining how God is calmly knocking on our ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 28, 2022
     | 2,276 views

    The account of Noah is ridiculed, but it is filled with interesting facts, some problems, but much challenging teaching. This message, Part 1 of 3, examines the times of Noah with reference to our times and even beyond that. Who were the Nephilim?

    NOAH PART 1 – THE FAITHFUL PREACHER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IN A PERVERSE GENERATION There is much to learn in the study of Noah, and we draw some lessons from this factual account in God’s word. Let us look at the opening verses of Genesis chapter 6: {{Genesis 6:1-4 Now it came about, when men began ...read more

    The sixth church that Jesus addressed received no words of rebuke or chastisement. It was faithful to the Gospel, open to opportunities, and be delivered from its enemies and the coming hour of trial upon the world.

    The seven churches of Revelation 2-3 were literal, authentic, verifiable places of worship in the region of Asia Minor within the boundaries of the Roman Empire. These churches are not the product of allegory, nor are they tales of mystics and sages of ancient days. There is nothing written in ...read more
