The Cross Made The Difference

There were three people who were present during the trial & crucifixion who were profoundly influenced by Jesus; Barabbas, the Dying Thief, and the Centurion and his men. It was the Cross of Jesus that made the difference!

Gadarene Demoniac Healed Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 7, 2017

When Jesus stepped ashore, He was met by two men who were under the control of demons. There is only one Devil, so a better translation is demons. They were horrible looking and dangerous.

Is There Not A Cause?

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Sep 27, 2016

As David stood in bewilderment of the lack of courage among the men of Israel, he asked the question: Is there not a cause? This question remains relevant today. Surely you will agree there is a cause, and we must be willing to stand.

Is There Not a Cause? I Samuel 17: 17-29 Often this chapter is preached in light of David’s miraculous defeat of the mighty giant, Goliath. That is a wonderful testimony to the presence and power of the God we serve; but today I want to look at the events that led up to David’s ...read more

Mother Nature's Father Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 9, 2021

The Bible says that the laws of nature are not eternal, but that they began in time, and they were put into operation by the Word of God. God is the Father of all nature, and He is the Father of all the wisdom and order that men attribute to nature.

The Bible consistently represents God as male. This is true for all 3 Persons of the Trinity. When the Son became flesh He became a man. The Holy Spirit is always called He. The male was also the first to be created. All of this in no way means that the Bible depreciates the female, for we will ...read more

Joseph Of Arimathea Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 17, 2021

In taking Jesus to His new tomb Joseph was fulfilling the prophecy of Isa. 53:9, which said, "Men made His grave with the criminals, and He was with the rich in His death."

The danger of making a hero out of a man who does a great thing after a long time of doing nothing is that you give the impression that there was nothing lost by doing it that way. A man lives a life of sin, or of indifference to God's will, and suddenly he sees the light and is wondrously ...read more

Scripture: Matthew 27:55-66

Racism Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 20, 2021

Peter said it was unlawful and against his conscience to enter into fellowship with Gentiles, but God broke through the barriers of both law and conscience to show him that all men were to be accepted as equals in the church.

George W. Gradleck, a German psychiatrist, said that it is truer that our lives live us than that we live our lives. What he meant was that repression, early loyalties and prejudices can get such a grip on one’s life that they compel one to be what he is. Once the attitude of racism, for example, ...read more

Puzzling Appointments Series

Jamie Buckingham is one of the great preachers and authors whose books have sold in the millions. What I like about him is that he makes so many comical blunders in his ministry that he makes other pastors feel less threatened by their human errors. If you sometimes feel like your life is a ...read more

Scripture: Mark 3:13-19

A Risen Redeemer Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 28, 2021

We want to consider the great story of the resurrection from the point of view of two groups of people. Both groups are believers, but Mark's account first deals with the experience of the women, and then of the men.

Back in 1851 two missionaries, one English and the other American, were walking past the temple of Siva in Tanjore, India. They noticed the people carrying out one of the brass idols.

Warm And Comfortable The Day After Easter

Contributed by James Kirkland on Apr 30, 2014

The resurrection did not end on Monday. The events of Sunday continue 24/7 in our lives. We need to remember yesterday, so we can grow today and tomorrow. The two men on the road to Emmaus needed to remember yesterday so they could Jesus today.

Warm and Comfortable the Day after Easter? It is getting to the point that we may need to turn the A/C on during the day, but the evening air might be a little cool. As we kick off our shoes and reach for the newspaper or maybe a cup of hot chocolate we get that comfortable cozy feeling. We are ...read more
