     | 6,188 views

    In this beautiful account of the woman caught in adultery, we see the great compassion of Christ, which resulted in this woman’s conversion.

    CAPTURED BY THE COMPASSION OF CHRIST Text: John 8: 11 Intro: The passage of scripture being dealt with today is a glowing illustration of the grace and compassion of Christ for sinners. It may seem a total contradiction to say that Christ had contempt for sin, while having compassion on the ...read more

    "Responding To Christmas" Series

    based on 15 ratings
     | 15,105 views

    From the examples of Herod and the Wise Men, we can learn about how we should respond to the message and meaning of Christmas.

    The gifts that the Magi brought to honor Jesus are often cited in any attempt to explain the tradition of giving gifts at Christmas. Too often, however, our focus at Christmas is more of the gifts we receive, rather than the Gift God gave. A family celebrated Christmas each year by singing “Happy ...read more

    Submitting To God In Prayer Series

    Contributed by Keith Foskey on Jun 17, 2014
     | 4,954 views

    In our last message, we noted that proper prayer begins with REVERENCE. This morning, we are going to look at the next two statements which move us from REVERENCE to SUBMISSION in our prayers.

    We continue this morning in our series on the Sermon on the Mount. Last week, we started a somewhat “mini-series” within the larger series, as we began to study the Lord’s Model Prayer. This is the portion of the Sermon on the Mount wherein Jesus teaches His disciples how to ...read more

     | 3,241 views

    We did not get to understand the Gospel and be saved because of human wisdom but the power and wisdom of God. There is nothing man can boast about.

    The church has been plagued by divisions, with groups taking sides and pledging their support for various leaders. • This competitive and partisan spirit was tearing the church apart. They pride themselves on men and not on Christ. • They were boasting in human wisdom, eloquence and influence, and ...read more

    What Does It Mean To Say God Is Sovereign?

    Contributed by Douglas Phillips on Jun 23, 2019
     | 5,326 views

    TO SAY THAT GOD IS SOVEREIGN DOES NOT LIMIT OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM TO "DO'S AND DON'TS". IT ALLOWS US THE ASSURANCE THAT OUR AWESOME GOD, WANTS THE BEST FOR US AND IF WE ALLOW HIM TO BE SOVEREIGN WE WILL BE BLESSED AS A RESULT

    Today we must see that even those entrusted with the Kingdom can lose their focus and fail to produce the fruit in the Master’s Vineyard.

    Background to passage, Matthew 21:33-45: Remember this is the last week of Jesus’s life (and with conversations like this, it’s not surprising). Do know that everything happened just as God foreordained from before the foundation of the world. Jesus has been challenging the Jewish leaders from ...read more

    Why Jesus Taught Us To Fear God Rather Than People

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 39 ratings
     | 9,302 views

    Jesus taught His disciples, "I will tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell."

    It is easy to feel intimidated around powerful people. However, King David, who knew what it felt like to be afraid of powerful people who sought to destroy him once wrote, "I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears." (Psa. 34:4) Jesus taught His disciples, "I will ...read more
