The Blast Of The Sixth Trumpet Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 11, 2012

Now the sixth trumpet is going to sound and another horde of demons come forth. This time there is a difference.

So far we have seen the first 5 trumpets blast. We have seen 1/3 of the vegetation of the earth destroyed, 1/3 of the water supply, the sea life, and the shipping and fishing commerce of the world. We saw the demonic-like plague of locusts. They were like scorpions, inflicting injury and ...read more

The Two Witnesses Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 11, 2012

John is instructed to take a rod and measure the temple, its altar, and the people who worship there. Why are these being measured?

Read verses 1 & 2. We could get very deep in the study of just these 2 verses but again a lot of it is speculation. So let’s look at what we know. John is instructed to take a rod and measure the temple, its altar, and the people who worship there. Why are these being measured? Scripture ...read more

Excuses, Excuses

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 23, 2023

Everybody has an excuse for not getting seriously involved with God. And some of those reasons are genuine. But some excuses are just another way of saying “I have more important things to do with my life, don’t bother me.”

Jesus had been preaching and teaching, healing all kinds of sicknesses and casting out demons, up and down the Sea of Galilee for months. Everywhere he went people gathered, waiting for hours - some just to hear him speak, others hoping for the chance to ask him a question or even just to touch ...read more

Overturning Status Quo

Contributed by Perry Greene on Jul 11, 2023

Promising Signs

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Oct 13, 2023

Each time Jesus is born again in any person it is a sign of the present reality of the kingdom of God.

I was talking to a man last week about our birthday party for Jesus, which is the informal family worship time we have here on Christmas morning. It’s capped by having the children blow out the candle on Jesus’ birthday cake. And he asked, “How can you fit 2003 candles on one birthday cake?” ...read more

In The Rearview Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Nov 24, 2023

Every story is a mixture of God’s pursuit of people, His ultimate goal of restoration, employing people to accomplish that goal, and humanities resistance nearly every step of the way.

Shake It Off!

Contributed by Larry Grant on Jan 8, 2022

The people of Nazareth rejected Jesus and tried to kill Him, but the Bible says that He passed through their midst! Now, a year later He returns to the very place He was so cruelly rejected. He wants to give His family and neighbors another chance to receive Him and His message of Salvation.

Mark 6:2-11 (NKJV) "Shake It Off!" Our text finds Jesus returning to Nazareth. Our Lord’s return to His hometown does not go the way one might expect it to. Jesus has been going around the countryside preaching, teaching, healing the sick, casting out demons, raising the dead and ...read more

Angels, Angels Everywhere!

Contributed by Donald Pinkleton on Dec 23, 2022

There’s no end to the variety of ways we depict angels. But what do we really know about them, from a biblical perspective? Let’s go back to the source material – let’s look at what the scriptures have to say about angels.

As you may have noticed, today’s theme is all about angels. I want to thank Elsie for the wonderful work she did in gathering all that angel artwork for the bulletin.

My Will Vs. Thy Will Series

Contributed by Perry Greene on May 8, 2013

Thy kingdom come and thy will be done are saying basically the same thing. The will of God is to be King over us. We must realize God's will and the issues that block us from doing his will.

1. Paternoster A former soldier tells of being stationed in Frankfurt, Germany. When he had to go to the HQ, located in the Abrams Building, he had two options to go upstairs. He could take the stairs or the "Paternoster." This was an unusual elevator which had no doors, only an opening; and it ...read more

Jehovah Jireh, My Provider

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Jun 16, 2024

Today we look at the story of Genesis 22, and God's call to Abraham to sacrifice Isaac at Mt. Moriah. To fully understand the story, we need to look deep into Abraham's life, and see how God kept all His promises to Abraham, so we can see how he keeps His promises to us.

Jehovah Jireh, My Provider Good Morning. And a Happy Father’s Day. Today, we revisit Genesis 22, which, I will grant, that on the surface, seems to be a horrible Father’s Day reading. I skimmed through it 3 months ago in relation to Jesus comments about taking up His Cross. Today, we’ll look at ...read more
