Sermons on The Gap:

Breaking The Law...for God's Sake

Contributed by David E. Watters on Aug 14, 2011

Matthew 15: 10-20 - Barclay stated that this Scripture was 'one of the supreme contests in history'. Two religious viewpoints clash with what Jesus says. Jesus again points to what is really important.

Good morning. Laws are important in any society in order to keep peace and order. But there are laws and then there are laws. Here are some laws that are still on the books in our state of Kansas. • In Derby, it is illegal to hit a vending machine that stole your money. • In Dodge ...read more

Arriving On Time

Contributed by Christopher Lanham on Nov 14, 2006

Time is one of the great philosophical questions of all time – if I may make such a circular statement. Humankind has been in conniption fits since the dawn of time trying to discover its nature. What is time? How does it move? We know how to tell tim

Miracles

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Apr 19, 2022

It can be confusing to understand when to expect God to intervene in our lives in the form of a miracle and when not to expect it. Jesus' encounter with a widow who had just lost her only son can give us some clues.

Two weeks ago we wrapped up the account of the Sermon on the Mount from Luke’s Gospel. This morning we take up the story again of the amazing things that happened as Jesus traveled from town to town in Israel, announcing and demonstrating the kingdom of God. This morning’s text is Luke 7:11-17. ...read more

Rabbi Revelation

Contributed by Suresh Manoharan on Apr 30, 2015

With Israel celebrating its "67th Birthday", here comes this message which in effect is a sneak peek into its rich scriptural tradition about some "events" which for many Christians' would frankly be an eye-opener when viewed from a Rabbi's perspective!

The perfect Christian woman is a strong, capable provider. Also, how to pick out husbands for your daughters.

Sometimes when you hear someone teach/preach through a passage, you'll discover that what he says reveals more about himself-- his biases, his presuppositions, his theology, what's important to him-- that it actually reveals about the Bible. When you hear today's passage, I'm a ...read more

Who Is The Antichrist? Daniel 8 And 9 Series

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on May 22, 2015

The Prophet Daniel and the Apostle John are key in determining who antichrist is and will be. No need to check the daily news or watch the world powers come and go. He's in your Bible, this antichrist.

2. DANIEL'S EIGHTH CHAPTER I assume that the prophecies of Daniel and the history of Daniel, the words on every page, are true. This is the famous man who has been subjected to hungry lions and hungry critics desiring but unable to rip him to shreds. Only unbelievers continue to discredit this ...read more

Our Great High Priest

Contributed by Ben Peak on Jan 3, 2008

Jesus Christ has become our eternal High Priest. And I think there are three things that these verses tell us about our High Priest that should come as an encouragement to us.

From the time of the fall of Adam man has needed a mediator… someone who would span the gap that now separated him from God. Man is sinful. God is holy. And because of His holiness God will have no fellowship or connection with sin. Before the fall God and man had close fellowship with each ...read more

Corporate Worship Is The Best Worship (Psalm 42:1-11) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 27, 2025

There's something special about worshipping God together. My starting point was wanting to study "deep calls to deep." Written during the covid insanity, when Christians were scared of, or banned from, public worship.

One of my kids asked me this week what it means, when "deep calls to deep." I told her, "I have no idea." But I promised her I'd study that next. And after using google, I found out that what we are going to work through this week, apparently, is Psalm 42. Let's ...read more
