    When God Seems Silent - My God, My God, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me? (Mark 15:34; Matthew 27:46) - Good Friday And Easter Sermons

    Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Apr 17, 2025
     | 727 views

    This moment is not just a cry of pain; it is a cry pregnant with meaning, mystery, and majesty. It invites us to step into the depths of divine suffering, human anguish, and the hope of redemption.

    “When God Seems Silent” (Based on Mark 15:34 & Matthew 27:46) Introduction: Grace and peace to you, beloved in Christ. Today, we reflect on one of the most profound and haunting cries ever uttered—not by a desperate sinner, but by the Son of God Himself. As He hung bruised, battered, and ...read more

    Grace Broke The Scales

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 19, 2025
     | 107 views

    Grace shattered the world’s scorekeeping; salvation is not earned by balance but received by the cross that broke the scales.

    The Story: Earning Points with God A few years ago I was standing in line at the grocery store with one item—a loaf of bread. The lady in front of me had about 200. You know that line you always pick because it looks fast but somehow turns into a hostage situation? So I’m standing there while ...read more

    Choose Your Altar

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 24, 2025
     | 79 views

    Sin disguises death, but the cross reveals truth. Choose Christ’s altar and guard your home from the silent discipleship of darkness.

    Introduction — The Altars We Don’t Notice There was a time when altars were unmistakable. Stone. Fire. Blood. Devotion. Awe. Everyone knew the moment of worship. Everyone knew to whom they were offering themselves. Today, the altars have changed. They glow. They scroll. They entertain. They fit ...read more

    Contributed by David Owens on Feb 10, 2025
     | 1,107 views

    The presence of pain and suffering in the world do not take away from God's goodness or power. God's answer to suffering is the cross and the resurrection.

    The Gospel In Plain Language

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Feb 10, 2025
     | 593 views

    Many salesmen are trained to speak in such a way that they can convince people to buy things that they don’t need, don’t want, can’t really afford, to impress people they don’t really like. But when the apostle Paul was preaching the gospel, he wasn't like that.

    Alba 2-9-2024 THE GOSPEL IN PLAIN LANGUAGE I Corinthians 2:1-5 I’m sure most of us here have encountered a slick talking, smooth speaking, silver tongued, spell binding salesman. You know the type. And somewhere between the “I’m not interested”, and “I’ll take two”, something happens and we’re ...read more

    As Jesus makes a turn toward Jerusalem, we learn that the disciples still have so much to learn - but so do we.

    In his book Mere Christianity, CS Lewis uses an illustration to note how different it is to learn something than it is to apply that thing. His illustration centered on the difference between a map and being out on the water. In two dimensions, a map can look quite straight forward. You can see ...read more

    Contributed by William Akehurst on Jul 7, 2025
     | 335 views

    WHO DO YOU SAY JESUS IS? THIS IS THE QUESTION THAT DEFINES ETERNITY. True discipleship begins with a right confession of who Jesus is, embraces the necessity of the cross, and responds with wholehearted surrender to follow Him; regardless of the cost.

    True victory comes when the ego dies and Christ lives through us—surrendering self to gain the freedom and fullness of His Spirit.

    Rise From The Pit Series

    Contributed by Dennise Ogalesco on Apr 22, 2015
     | 8,180 views

    Each one of us had experience down times, troubles and trials. Rising up must be our immediate action. God's help will always be available to those who call on Him. He will lift us up, if we never lose heart.

    RISE UP FROM THE PIT 2 Kings 6:5-7 Testimonies are powerful message of God's working in our life. Apostle Paul was asked by King Agrippa to defend himself... He was asked to testify.

     | 4,867 views

    Peter has good intentions, but they are not in agreement with God's ultimate plan. We must covenant to deny ourselves and align ourselves to God's will and ways.

    WE MAY HAVE HEARD THIS FAMILIAR SAYING: “THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS.” AN INTENTION IS SIMPLY A PLAN OR GOAL WE HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH. IRONICALLY, INTENTIONS DON’T ACHIEVE ANYTHING. THEY ARE MERELY IDEAS AND DREAMS OF SPECIFIC THINGS THAT WE’D LIKE TO SEE DONE IN THE ...read more
