    (This message was preached in three parts separated by singing.) I. Finding Our True Place (This first segment is taught as a children’s object lesson. In preparation a number of chairs was set out equal to the number of children with one being especially nice and another being very shabby. ...read more

    Have you worshipped demons lately? Perhaps hung out with evil spiritual forces? No? The Corinthian Christians didn’t think so either, but Paul had a different perspective.

     | 8,848 views

    We as the church, facing today's challenges, think of ourselves as nobodies. But we are God's kind of nobodies, those in whom He has been at work to make changes, and we are needed by the world around us.

     | 1,886 views

    So, what is this freedom Paul is speaking of? What do you do with freedom when you get it? Does freedom mean “party all the time like some might think?”

    Called to Freedom Galatians 5:13-26 Do you remember when as a child you could hardly wait until you grew up? I can remember many times when I would just think about how great it would be when I became a teenager. As a teenager, I thought I would be able to do so many things that I couldn’t do as a ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 9,385 views

    Philippians 4:8 calls us to think upon such things as truth, nobility, righteousness, purity, loveliness, etc. Why? What help will that be to the Christian. More importantly, what help will that be for the Kingdom of God in drawing others to Jesus?

    Please open your Bibles to Philippians 4:4-9 which we will read in a few minutes. Our new memory verse is actually a follow-on to one of our earlier memory Scriptures; Philippians 4:6-7. “Finally, Brothers (or Brethren) …” Newer versions have “brothers and sisters”. Why? We who have grown up on ...read more

    Contributed by Billy Ricks on Sep 29, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,657 views

    We too often believe the lie that things are meant to destroy us. Whether a violent storm or big fish what we think is meant to destroy us is actually designed by God to develop us.

    Intro: Think about this as we look at chapter 2 of Jonah. What did Jonah deserve? He deserved to be a man taco for a big fish. What did he get? God’s mercy. Jonah had already received God’s grace. God did not completely destroy Jonah or the Ship in the violent storm. God as a ...read more

  • Let’s Not Miss The Harvest! (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by Dan Proctor on Aug 22, 2016
     | 7,238 views

    Jesus was too concerned about the souls of people to get distracted with minor, unimportant matters. If we aren’t focused on Christ, we can become self-absorbed and inwardly focused like the Pharisees, and we’ll miss the harvest.

    Let’s Not Miss The Harvest! Matthew 9 – Part 2 Introduction: 1. Did you know that religious people can be very mean and cold-hearted? People who are religious, but aren’t truly walking with God can be some of the nastiest people you’ve ever met. 2. In Jesus’ day, ...read more

    Contributed by Carl Allen on Feb 10, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,741 views

    As we continue to follow the life of Abraham one would think after a event like separating from his own flesh and blood (Lot), that things would be different. But it is in times like these that God shines through.

    Abraham: Following in the Footsteps Of Faith GOD’S PROMISE TO ABRAM RENEWED Genesis 13:14-18 Intro: Last week we looked at the trouble that arose between Abram and Lot, over the feeding of their livestock.

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 31, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,991 views

    The preaching of the Word of God does not go out or return void, despite what we might witness or think. The Sacred Word continues to convict the heart and give new life to all who are dead in iniquity.

    Fellow under-shepherd, I've been there. I know the frustration you feel when it seems that you preached your heart out this past Sunday. You fed your flock the food of the Word and gave the message God placed upon you. I know what it means to study for long hours, to pray, to compose the ...read more

  • Strength Through Humility

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Jul 7, 2014
     | 6,785 views

    The world thinks humility is pious weakness, whereas the bible says it is strength through submission, in fact true humility results in power, and honour and glory and majesty and strength. Who would not want that?

    Genesis 24:34-38, 42-49, 58-67 Psalm 45: 11-18 Romans 7:15-25a Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30 “Please join me in my prayer.” Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of our hearts, be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, our strength, and our redeemer. Amen. (Ps. ...read more

  • Spiritual Dumbness Series

    Contributed by James Dina on Jan 4, 2022
     | 4,100 views

    No people make such good preachers as those who were once dumb. If the Lord opens their mouths, they will think they cannot preach often enough, and earnestly enough, to make up for the mischief they did before.

    SPIRITUAL DUMBNESS “And they bring unto him one that was deaf and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him. And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue; And looking up to heaven, he sighed, ...read more

    Introduction: The World's First Worship Service I want you to travel back with me in your imagination to the dawn of human history. The gates of Eden are closed, guarded by an angel with a flaming sword. The world is brand new, yet already stained by sin. Adam and Eve, our first parents, are ...read more

  • Things God Will Not Tell Us

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 19, 2020
     | 6,151 views

    God permits His people to think His thoughts after Him. However, our finite minds are unable to discover all that can be known of God and of His work in the lives of people.

    “The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.” [1] You should always be suspicious of the one who claims superior knowledge. Should he claim to know the deep secrets of God, RUN! ...read more
