Slipping By Degrees

Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Jul 27, 2022

King Saul started well, but ultimately shipwrecked his faith. God's Word is given to us so that we may learn and avoid the pitfalls of the enemy.

Slipping by Degrees Text: 1 Samuel 13:5-14, 1 Samuel 15:1-35 OPEN WITH PRAYER AND THANKSGIVING One of the saddest things to see, at least to me, is someone who - by all appearances seemed to be a Christian, fall into sin and apostasy. Not let me make that clear… I said, someone who “seemed” to ...read more

New Wine, New Wineskins Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 23, 2015

What are we responding to? Is it Jesus as Lord or is it some human religious system? Is our behaviour going to help others discover the good news of Jesus Christ? Will it help us proclaim forgiveness of sins in Jesus’ name?

Most people dislike change. Some people think it’s a necessary evil; but evil nevertheless. But there are times when change is absolutely necessary; when the old ways won’t work; when the old ways will actually hinder the thing that’s coming. One such moment in time was at the ...read more

Contributed by James Lee on Dec 4, 2015

I would like to thank Pastor Jerry Shirley for sharing this series on Acts. It has been a blessing as well as a great help. I have used these for our church, as I spend my days caring for my dying father.

“Fence Riding is For Cowboys” Acts 5:33-39 Gamaliel was a man who helped give the disciples a break and what he said in verse 39 was probably the smartest thing he had ever said, which always caused me to think highly of this man. But then after some careful examination and reading a ...read more

Oh Yeah, We See Said The Blind Men.

Contributed by Ronnie Miller on Apr 18, 2012

What did Jesus mean He is the light of the world? Well, before we look at the question, let's look at why He stated it. Jesus was teaching His disciples and others in the temple on the Sabbath. The service was rudely interrupted by the Scribes and Pharis

Oh yeah, we see said the blind men. John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Contributed by Paul Barreca on Nov 11, 2014

Joe was alone in the Pacific ocean, ten miles from shore, without a life jacket, and worst of all, no one knew that he was overboard.

I’ve known Joe for twelve years. Joe and his brother Dan own an appliance repair business and have kept our home appliance working for many years. It was unusual for Joe to attend prayer meeting, so I commented to Dan how nice it was to see Joe out on a Wednesday night. "I guess you heard ...read more

A Man Born Blind Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jan 23, 2017

Is seeing believing? Are you looking to see God at work in the world? Are you pointing out those works of God to others so they too can see? Jesus said : “We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming when no one can work.”

Blindness is a terrible thing. Our sight is central to so much that we enjoy in the world. Whether it’s the beauty of nature, or the smile on a other person’s face when they see you coming; whether it’s the control it gives you over the world around you, or the freedom that it ...read more
