Contributed by Melvin Newland on Sep 5, 2015

As we look at these two passages of Scripture this morning, I think we are going to discover three important facts about the work that we do.

MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK I think Labor Day is a kind of strange holiday. And it's difficult for a preacher to know what to preach on Labor Day Sunday. It's not one of the major holidays. Relatives don't come. There is no turkey to eat or presents to ...read more

Spirit And Judgment In The Last Days Series

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Oct 6, 2015

Is it afterward, as in Joel, or "in the last days" as quoted by Peter? Are we in the last days, everyone wants to know. Amazingly simple answer.

The final days: Spirit and ultimate judgment. 2:28-3:3 The most famous passage of Joel is this one that is quoted by Peter on the Day of Pentecost. The assumption is that the Holy Spirit gave this passage to Peter, to link what he was experiencing there to the end times that Joel is here ...read more

The Day The Lord Has Made

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Jan 30, 2014

Its more than a praise song or call to worship

The Day the Lord has Made Psalm 118:1-29 Introduction We sing the chorus “This is the Day that the Lord has Made” often in our churches today as a call of worship.

Selfless Obedience (Mother's Day) Series

Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on Jun 11, 2013

Selflessness is the key characteristic in Jesus' command to take up our crosses and follow him. The stories of Jochebed, Hannah, and Mary (Jesus' mother) illustrate selflessness.

One of the critical characteristics of a follower of Jesus is almost completely non-existent in our society. Now I say “almost”, because there are still times when we see and celebrate it, but those times are largely times of extremes. The prevailing “wisdom” is completely ...read more

Mother’s Days For Elizabeth

Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 12, 2013

Mother’s Day isn’t a day of celebration for all women and Elizabeth experienced what it was like to be childless, to have a child and to lose a child

Mother’s Days for Elizabeth It is a familiar story and one that fits with Mother’s Day. A woman who wasn’t supposed to be a mother becomes a mother.
