Wait! Be Patient! Trust The Lord!

Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Oct 6, 2016

The Prophet Habakkuk looked around and saw a world filled with violence, destruction, toleration of wickedness, injustice, strife and conflict. Where was God? Ever look at your world and wonder the same thing? Listen to the Lord's answer!

Violence, injustice, toleration of wrong, destruction, strife, conflict. Those are the words that the Old Testament prophet Habakkuk used to describe the world around him.

The Transfiguration: A Preview Of Christ’s Glory (Matthew 17)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 6, 2026

Peter, James, and John, the” inner circle” of Jesus’ disciples, saw Christ in His Divine persona, with Moses and Elijah, “the Law and the Prophets” by His side, representing the whole of Scripture and a preview of His redemptive mission.

Verses 1-13: J. Vernon McGee, teacher and author of the “Through the Bible” commentary, called the transfiguration of the Lord Jesus Christ a “miniature” portrait of the Kingdom of God, later confirmed by Simon Peter in his second letter to the churches (2 Peter 1: 16-18). Dr. W.A. ...read more

What Do We Do When Tragedy Strikes?”

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Aug 2, 2017

This section of God's Word shows us how two people responded to a tragedy. One example comes from a widow whose son died. The other comes from one of the greatest prophets in the Old Testament, Elijah.

At some point it will likely happen to most of us. For each of us it will be different and yet the same. It will leave us with tears in our eyes and pain in our hearts. We call them tragedies—something that seems to turn our lives upside down. Because we live in a world stained by sin these ...read more

Consider Your Ways Series

Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Oct 31, 2000

The prophet Haggai gives the returned exiles of Judah a wake-up call because of their complacency and recalls them to faithful service to their God who has done some much for them.

CONSIDER YOUR WAYS A prominent person, I believe it was Henry Ford, is reputed to have said, "history is bunk". Why he said that, I can’t think, because if we don’t learn from the mistakes of the past, we’re sure to repeat them. That’s the story of the world and is especially true for the ...read more

God's 20/20 Foresight

Contributed by William Mouser on Feb 28, 2005

Using the Bible’s foreviews of the careers of John the Baptist and the Prophet Jeremiah, this sermon encourages believers to persevere in the expectation that God has just as clearly foreseen their conformity to the image of Christ.

Third Sunday in Advent Jeremiah 1:4-19, Luke 1:26-45 “God’s 20/20 Foresight” We have all heard the proverb that says, “Hindsight is always 20-20.” I don’t know of another proverb that says anything similarly pithy and witty about foresight. An obvious reason, I suppose, is that foresight ...read more

The Vocation Of Human Development Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 18, 2009
