Costly Obedience

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jul 2, 2017

Abraham faced the greatest trial of his life when God asked him to sacrifice the child of promise. From it, we learn that God tests our faith, grows our faith, and models sacrifice as the Heavenly Father gives his only Son for us.

Genesis 22:1-14 Costly Obedience Sometimes we go through such heavy trials in this life. And, if we’re honest, we may wonder, “God, why are you allowing this to happen to me? I’m trying to follow you best I can. Why, Lord?” Yet, perhaps the better question would be, “Lord, what do you want me to ...read more

The Seven Fountains Of The Blood

Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 10, 2020

The sufferings of Jesus Christ were not an after-thought in the plan of God. Every aspect of his suffering -- his head, his feet, his hands, his face, his back, His side and heart issued fountains that atoned for corresponding areas of sin. What a Savior!

THE SEVEN FOUNTAINS OF THE BLOOD Isaiah 53:3-5 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A man went on a ski trip and was knocked unconscious by the chairlift. He called his insurance company from the hospital, but they refused to cover his injury. 2. He asked them, "Why is the injury not covered?" ...read more

The Sanhedrin – The Cruelty Of Injustice (3/12) Series

Contributed by Eduardo (Eddie) Fernandes on Jun 17, 2020

Life is harsh, people are often cruel, and accusations leveled at the innocent are crippling and inhumane. What can we learn from the Master when evil surrounds us? How do we handle betrayal and condemnation? We learn from Jesus as He faced opposition.

Message by: Tom Clark Introduction: Slide 1 (Title of Series) Good morning, Church. I hope you, like I, have been enjoying and gaining some wonderful insights from our current 12-part series derived from the Stations of the Cross.

Trusting God When We Don't Understand

Contributed by Dr. Jonathan Vorce on Oct 11, 2020

Last week we discussed the importance of allowing Jesus to be Lord of our lives. Today, we will talk about “Trusting God When We Don’t Understand.” (Sometimes in the journey of allowing Him to be Lord, we are faced with situations that we don’t understand.)

Bible Text: Habakkuk 1:1-11; 2:1-4, 12-14; 3:2, 18-19 • Many time’s the events in our world fail to make sense. We watch the news (especially the political news during this season) or the events in our own personal lives and we wonder, “Where is God in all of this?” Sometimes, we have to admit ...read more

Faith Fueled By Prayer

Contributed by John Dobbs on Oct 16, 2020

Corrie Ten Boom asked: "Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?” As we face the struggles of everyday life, we must keep our faith strong - and the way we keep our faith strong is to keep it fueled by prayer.

2 Adams, 2 Gardens, 2 Outcomes

Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 15, 2021

To save us, God had to send a second Adam, who would face the same temptations, but not fail in his obedience to God. Jesus did it. As a result, His descendants have power over sin, are made righteous, and have a glorious future ahead of them.

2 ADAMS, 2 GARDENS, 2 OUTCOMES 1 Cor. 15:45-47 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: ONE STEP CLOSER TO... 1. I once read about a rabbi sitting next to an atheist on an airplane. Every few minutes, one of the rabbi’s children or grandchildren would inquire about his needs for food, drink, or comfort. The ...read more

Flee Baby, Flee Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 8, 2015

The world paints those who oppose immoral sex as being prudes and bigots. It's hard to withstand the humiliation and embarrassment that we can face when we speak up. So why should we? And how should we stand for morality in a faithless world?

Years ago I heard a famous radio preacher tell of an experience he had while doing a seminar in a large city. After he had gotten done speaking he returned to his hotel, got on the elevator, and as he touched the button of his floor, a couple of very attractive women got on with him. "What ...read more

Lasting Treasures Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 27, 2022

The biggest problem we face today is that our possessions tend to give us a false sense of security as if to say if we only had enough money or enough property, or enough furniture and clothing and jewelry – and did I mention shoes? – we would have it made.

LASTING TREASURES Matthew 6:19-21 19 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and ...read more

Accumulation Of Wealth Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 1, 2023

The man who wrote these words was by many accounts considered the wealthiest man in all of history. He not only held the most wealth, but he was faced with passing on more wealth than any person that ever lived. He gives his words of wisdom on accumulating wealth.

Accumulation of Wealth Ecclesiastes 2:18-26 So far in Ecclesiastes Solomon has let us know that meaning is not in pleasures. Meaning is not found in worldly wisdom. So not we are going to look at if meaning is found in accumulation of massive wealth. There are some things money can do and some ...read more

The Limitless Love Of God

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Jun 7, 2022

How should we respond to those who have radical beliefs and lifestyles contrary to our beliefs? The temptation is to counter their viciousness and label them as an enemy. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gives us a model for the attitude that we are to have when faced with divisive social issues.

If not careful, as we study the Bible, we will pick and choose passages that support certain points of view or principles to which we cling. Yet those who first heard what has become known as the Sermon on the Mount had no idea what Jesus was about to say. They understood the moralism of their day, ...read more

Turing Trials Into Triumphs Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jun 7, 2021

The first subject that James addresses in his letter is how to face our trials. His suggestion is shocking: we should welcome our trials with joy. But his reason for the suggestion makes sense when you understand things from God's perspective.

A. In Max Lucado’s book, In The Eye Of The Storm, he tells a story about a parakeet named Chippie. 1. Chippie the parakeet never saw it coming -one second he was peacefully perched in his cage, and the next he was sucked in, washed up and blown over. 2. The problem began when Chippie’s owner ...read more

All Because Of His Grace Series

Contributed by Saumiman Saud on Jun 9, 2025

We often easily say, “All because of His grace,” when we experience good things. But what about when we face difficulties? The Bible teaches us to remain thankful and acknowledge God’s grace in every situation, both in joy and sorrow:

ALL BECAUSE OF HIS GRACE Several Bible verses affirm that everything is because of God’s grace, including: Romans 3:24: “And all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” Ephesians 2:8-9: “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this ...read more

The Joy Of Looking Forward! Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jul 27, 2025

The final words Isaiah offers us is to consider what eternity looks like in the face of how we are living. Those who rebel against God will not see an eternal reward but punishment, but those who will tremble at His word and remain faithful to Christ will be rewarded in eternity.
