     | 6,077 views

    Jesus is anointed by a sinful woman while eating at the house of Simon the Pharisee. Jesus' conversation with Simon serves as a warning about self-righteousness.

    I. Introduction A. So, Simon invited me to his house for dinner, and I went because I knew some of the best of our society would be there. a. But I also went because I heard he was going to be inviting the man called Jesus. b. If the stories about him are true it’s about time he mingled with ...read more

    Cain had at least two bad room mates and I am not talking about Able but Satan and his sin nature.

    Intro: 1. In my research of Cain and Able, I discovered that all of their problem stemmed from the fact that they were roommates. In "Children's letters to God" I found these: Dear GOD, Instead of letting people die and having to make new ones, why don't You just keep ...read more

    Man's religion is at war with God's revelation.

    Man's religion is at war with God's revelation.

    Introduction Earlier in this sermon series I illustrated a point with the story of my little one year old daughter Felicity rummaging through her brother’s things in her near constant treasure hunting as she roams around the house seeking for things to get into. Just the other day she came ...read more

    What's are Christians to do in a politically obsessed nation? That's what we'll cover in this lesson: Jesus, Elephants and Donkeys.

    There’s been a lot talk the last couple of weeks about the health care bill that was signed into law today and how it will doom our country. Many of my friends have written passionate pleas for the people of this country to rise up in opposition against this president, his policies, and the ...read more

    It has been said that there are really only three ways to live in life. One is the way of the rebellious. The second is the way of the religious and the third is the way of the redeemed.

    “The Problem with Being Good” Philippians 3:1-11 It has been said that there are really only three ways to live in life. One is the way of the rebellious.

    Easter: On Being Afraid

    Contributed by Ryan Ferwerda on Mar 31, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 580 views

    In the Gospel of Mark the Easter story, and the whole Gospel, ends with those closest to Jesus being afraid. Just as Jesus met them in their fear, so too will Jesus meet us.

    "Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid." (Mark 16:8, NIV) When we look at the four accounts of the Resurrection story in the four gospels, we see a common thread running through at least three of the ...read more

    Today our lesson begins with a divided kingdom; I want to preach about the Reign of two Kings, the Return of the Warrior and the Religion of the depraved.

    1 Kings 12:22-31 (NKJV) “This Thing is From Me” June 25, 2023 God’s sovereignty is defined by his omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence. He is all-knowing, ever-present and all-powerful.

    The Good Samaritan

     | 10,765 views

    The story of the Good Samaritan gives us a picture of God's plan of salvation starting with Adam and ending with the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

    (I cannot claim this whole message as my own. The basics came from a book of sermons for pastors which I bought many years ago but cannot remember the name of it.) The Good Samaritan Wed. Eve.
