Sermons on The Wide Way:

Found In Christ

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Dec 27, 2023

Salvation is not achieved; it is received.

I hope that every person within earshot of my voice today is a believer in our Lord Jesus Christ. Nothing else would please me so much as if that were the case. But I cannot risk thinking it is so if it is not. Too much is at stake. Eternity is at stake. For it only faith in Christ that will secure ...read more

Measure Upon Measure – Separation – The Restoration Of God - Part 4 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 22, 2025

In this continuing study of the Restoration of God, we look at what sin ruined, the results of that; how the Lord identified with those results, and now what God has restored. This time our theme is SEPARATION. We look at what God restored – union and communion and fellowship.

MEASURE UPON MEASURE – SEPARATION – THE RESTORATION OF GOD - Part 4 It is hard to split this Second Consequence of man’s sin to make two messages. It is too big for one talk but does not split into two properly. That has made the first Part bigger and the second Part smaller. Please understand ...read more

Living In Lack In The Middle Of Abundance

Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Jul 4, 2025

As Christians, if we are called to live in the abundance of God’s provision, love, and grace, why are so many of us living in a mindset of lack—spiritually, emotionally, and even materially? Why do we say that we serve a God of abundance, and settle for scarcity?

John 10:10 – “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” Philippians 4:19 – “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Introduction: As Christians, if we are called to live in the ...read more

Children Of The Resurrection

Contributed by Phillip Smith on Jul 7, 2025

During troubling times, man reads things into the events happening and thinks they see apocalyptic inferences. Many speak of the coming End of Time. Often these spoken inferences are accepted as common understandings. Mankind begins to wonder about life after death.

1 Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble. 2 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. 5 Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass; 10 But ...read more

God's Country?

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 10, 2025

America is not Jerusalem. American is not the new Israel. Our country is not protected as Israel was. But WE, the church of Jesus Christ, are.

Is America Jerusalem? The Puritans in Massachusetts thought of their colony as a “city on a hill”, a great experiment in godliness which would shine like a beacon to all the nations as a testimony to the transforming power of God. But not everyone came to this country for religious reasons. Many ...read more

John 1:1-5 Series

Contributed by Jake Andrews on Jul 29, 2025

When John begins his Gospel, he doesn’t waste any time getting to the truth.Before he tells us what Jesus did,
Before he shows us where Jesus went,
Before he records a single miracle or message—
He tells us who Jesus is. Because you’ll never understand what Jesus did until you know who Jesus is.
