    The Foolishness Of Preaching

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 25, 2018
     | 8,921 views

    Some things are hard to hear within the volume of God’s word. Some things are hard to understand and comprehend. Something may even sound foolish to folks but I assure that is not the case.

    The Foolishness of Preaching 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 Message: The idea of preaching as a method to reach people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ is viewed by many in our day and time as foolishness. Strangely this was the very same attitude of the people who heard St. Paul ...read more

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jul 30, 2018
     | 9,835 views

    Perhaps Jesus' most challenging saying of all is that to save your lives we must be willing to lose it for His sake and the Gospels. We explore what this really means practically, and whether Jesus meant for it to be literally true.

    The Paradoxical Sayings of Jesus Lose Your Life to Save It Mark 8:31-39 We continue in our summer series on the paradoxical sayings of Jesus. Jesus said a number of things which violate common sense, and seem to be impossible with regard to all the realities we face in this world, and would not ...read more

    Pureza Por La Cruz Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 25, 2024
     | 979 views

    ¿Cómo nos volvemos puros? ¿Cómo podemos relacionarnos con Dios? Lo descubrimos en Hebreos 9:14. Esa pureza viene por la cruz. Nada se puede comparar con el poder de Cristo para limpiar una vida.

    Dios es puro. Él es como la nieve en la cima de las montañas del Himalaya. No somos puros. Somos como el charco de barro en el camino. No puedes mezclar los dos juntos. El agua del charco de barro contaminará la nieve del Himalaya. Entonces, ¿cómo nos volvemos puros? ...read more

     | 3,778 views

    If you want to stay out of the ditches in life, live your life in grateful dependence upon Christ, and appreciate your completeness in Him. Appreciate the purity, pardon, and power that comes from your faith in Him. For when Jesus is all you got, Jesus is all you need.

    I came across a YouTube video this week, in which a young boy encounters a sheep stuck headfirst in a long narrow trench. Take a look (show video: “Sheep gets stuck in trench”).

    4 Controversial Uncompromising Life-Changing Truths Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Nov 22, 2024
     | 1,389 views

    Most people who are enslaved know they are slaves. The girl who is abducted and taken into the worldwide human trafficking ring knows she’s a slave. You don’t have to tell her this. But there is a kind of slavery where people don’t fully realize they are enslaved.

    Today, I want to speak to you about “4 Controversial Uncompromising Life-Changing Truths” from the lips of Jesus Himself. These 4 truths are unpopular for many. They are likely to start a good argument at the Thanksgiving dinner table. Many of these, if not all of these, run against the current ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,338 views

    This sermon looks at the rejection of the Samaritans, and examines the excuses of the three would be disciples. This sermon has some illustrations to draw the hearer back in, and helps to apply the text to the life of the hearer in their baptismal identity.

    Sometimes you just need to learn the value of a dollar. I remember when my nephew Kaden was learning this at the Wisconsin Dells. We were downtown, where all the shops were, and he was given a dollar earlier in the day. Thinking that was enough money to buy something in a tourist trap, he began ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 26, 2022
     | 1,224 views

    This second last Part has a lot of material from Peter and Paul in the explanation of the man of lawlessness - Antichrist and the Tribulation. It also proves that the Church must be raptured before the tribulation can begin. Hope you enjoy working through this.

    THE “DAY OF THE LORD” STUDY IN THE SCRIPTURES - NEW TESTAMENT PART 11 – PETER, 2THESSALONIANS CONTINUED FROM PART 10. It was mentioned in Part 10 that it was a difficult place to have ended PART 10, but not to have done so, would have made a very long Part. We will continue from Part 10 – ...read more

    Weightless Faith

    Contributed by Trae Durden on Dec 5, 2014
     | 4,024 views

    We hear Jesus say “My yoke is easy, My burden is light” (Mt. 11:30). And we choose to run with that “easy” life! We love to forget that He also said, ““If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me” (Mt. 16:24)

    Weightless Faith Philippians 3:17-21 Is the Christian life only about avoiding wrong? Is an “Avoidance” lifestyle all that God expects of us or is there more? Like bringing Glory to God in faith by taking action! Serving others! We hear Jesus say “My yoke is easy, My burden is ...read more

    The Parable Of The Four Soils Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
     | 6,505 views

    Only one of the four soils produces. Three of the four soils reject the seed. The problem isn’t with the seed but the soil. It’s the same seed that produces a great crop in the fourth soil that goes away in the first three soils.

    Jesus’ message was designed for religious outsiders. There’s something beautiful in the way those on the outside react when they first hear the gospel. One person when he recently began to comprehend the message of Jesus, recently asked me: “Do you mean to tell me that Adolf Hitler could receive ...read more

    In Philippians 2 we find the great imperative command that we need to "have the mind of Christ Jesus." Is that possible? Can our minds be so transformed by the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit that we can actually have the mind of Christ Jesus within us?
