Throne Of Grace Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 17, 2021

Jesus became the ‘Great High Priest’ who took on Himself the sins of the world by shedding His blood on the cross for each one of us. Since Jesus is the ‘Great High Priest’, He is now at the right hand of the Father in heaven, interceding on our behalf.

We read in Hebrews 4:14, “Let us, then, hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we have a great High Priest who has gone into the very presence of God…Jesus, the Son of God.” (GNB) We live in a world where it is so easy for us to be ensnared and in bondage to various sinful habits. Outwardly we ...read more

Ransomed By The Blood Series

Contributed by Steven Buhr on Aug 31, 2023

We were ransomed – that means a price was paid for us. It means we WERE held hostage. Held by the futile ways of our sinful lives. Sin had a grip on us, it took us away from the paradise God originally intended for us

Celebrating A Timeless Jesus At Christmas Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Apr 7, 2024

Christmas was just the beginning of a round-trip that Jesus took from heaven to earth and back to heaven. Jesus went from sitting on a throne, to laying in a manger, to hanging on a tree. He went from being a king with a crown, to a baby with diapers, to a criminal on the cross

"Faiths Sweet Fragrance"

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on May 25, 2015

When no one else would offer her hope...she somehow had heard about the hope that Jesus could not only offer but extend to her as well. And that amazing hope and the story of the gospel took seed in her life and begin to grow…

Apathy, Half-Heartedness, Change

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jun 4, 2021

Lessons From Jeremiah – Part 2 – Is Abortion Solely The Mother’s Choice? Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 26, 2024

We look at abortion here resulting from God saying to Jeremiah He knew him even before he was born. What is the Christian’s attitude to abortion? Despise not the youth in God’s work. God took up young Jeremiah.

He Was Hanged On His Own Gallows - Death Of Khamenei Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 1, 2026

Two days ago Israel and the United States attacked Iran in a strategic and carefully planned attack and took out the wicked leader. What are the ramifications from this? I wish to examine some aspects with a biblical foundation. In other words, “Where is this heading?”

Sermon 8 - When Anger Almost Gets The Best Of You Series

Contributed by David Owens on Mar 23, 2026

How Decision-Making Styles Affect Cross-Cultural Evangelistic Methods

Contributed by Paul Fritz on Aug 11, 2001
