    911 Where Were You?

    Contributed by Ronnie Miller on Sep 8, 2011
     | 4,089 views

    I would say that most everyone knew where they were on that day in history but, where was God? Why would a good and loving God allow such a tragedy to happen?

    911 Where were you? The date was September 11, 2001. Where were you when you heard the tragic news 10 years ago and the day that changed America forever? I remember that day well. I was working at RJR and a co worker came over to my desk and said a plane had crashed into a building in New York ...read more

    Press In Like Ruth

    Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Dec 1, 2013
     | 5,638 views

    Theme: Ruth is a story that starts out as a tragedy but then evolves into a romantic drama of the life of a Godly non-Jewish woman who trusted in Jehovah-Jirah and was rewarded for her faithfulness.

    Theme: Immerse We have been challenged through Scripture over the last few months to immerse ourselves into the spiritual realm. We have been encouraged to immerse ourselves in a new way of living for ourselves and for our families. We have been challenged to look at things differently through ...read more

    HoHum: “How long have you been driving without a tail light, buddy?” demanded the policeman. The driver jumped out, ran to the rear of his car, and gave a loud moan. His distress was so great that the cop was moved to ease up on him. “Aw, come now,” said the policeman, ...read more

    Let's Make A Deal

     | 2,927 views

    This sermon deals with the tragedy we find in the bible of someone trying to make an unnecessary deal with God. God does not want our deals. He wants our obedience.

    Let’s make a deal! There is a game show, “Let’s make a deal” first aired on December 30th, 1963, and still airs today. In this show there are times that you make a choice and get a really great deal. But there are times that you can make a choice and get a “Zonk”. It’s all about the choices you ...read more

    It has been over 24 Years since the tragedy of September 11, 2001, when a group of Islamic Jihadists attacked the United States and 4,000+ people died.

    Currently (2026), Israel is still at war against Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthi Islamic Jihadists who want to destroy them, as well as those who support the terrorists such as the Palestinians. With all the wars and terrorist attacks around the world, it certainly feels as if we are close to the ...read more

    Needless to say, 2020 has been an interesting year. Too much tragedy, illness and isolation and most of us will really be happy when we are able to move forward.

    “Out of Egypt” Matthew 2:13-18 and Exodus 14 Needless to say, 2020 has been an interesting year. Too much tragedy, illness and isolation and most of us will really be happy when we are able to move forward. One of the things adults mention often is a reference to their glory days.

    This is the 2nd part of 3-series Bible’s 9-11. What an amazing fact that God has foretold to us about this tragedy and what is the remedy for us.

    Bible’s 9-11 Revelation 9 11They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon.

    Some of you may remember the water incident in Walkerton, Ontario, Canada. Our church is about a 10 minute drive away and this is a message I preached following the tragedy.

    ARE YOU SECURE IN CHRIST? If there is one thing that the tragedy in Walkerton has taught people it is that we really take our water for granted. We never thought twice about taking a drink from our taps or taking a bath – or letting our kids play in the sprinklers – but this Ecoli thing has all ...read more

     | 1,727 views

    (9/11 was a day that shocked America. Despite the tragedy, God did not cause the catastrophe, nor was He indfferent to our suffering. He was there, helping us, suffering with us.

    Today is a solemn day of remembrance of the day that’s become known as 9/11. A day when America, seemingly secure in the fact that no foreign enemy had attacked us on American soil since the War of 1812, when the White House was partially burned by the British. But as much of America was waking ...read more

    Such tragedy in Judah but who can help? The broken walls weep. Hunger is everywhere. Women turn to cannibalism. Everyone is badly affected. Jeremiah asks, “Why has the LORD done this to us?” In fact it is sin that is reaping its sowing. The nation was corrupt.

    when someone is murdered, it catches all of us up short, and when the violence is carried out on children, especially as they are praying on the second day of school, no words can ever suffice to bring us back to anything like normalcy.

    Twenty-second Sunday in Course 2025 Humility, yes. I suspect that many preachers in this country have been humbled by the recent events at a Catholic church and school in Minneapolis last week.
