When Revival Comes Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Jan 15, 2021

Ezra 9:5-9 shows us three ways that Revival Comes: 1) When people acknowledge their Personal Sinfulness (Ezra 9:5-6), 2) When people acknowledge their Collective Responsibility (Ezra 9:7), 3) When people acknowledge their Godly Activity (Ezra 9:8-9)

Ezra 9:5-9 5 And at the evening sacrifice I rose from my fasting, with my garment and my cloak torn, and fell upon my knees and spread out my hands to the LORD my God, 6 saying: “O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift my face to you, my God, for our iniquities have risen higher than our heads, ...read more

Jochebed And Other Women

Contributed by Dennis King on Dec 18, 2021

Which woman of the Old Testament Bible had three famous children? One of whom was Yekutiel? As a hint, she was the first woman in the Bible whose name is compounded with the name of Jehovah God. We didn't actually learn her godly name right away. She was just called a Levite woman.

The lady we will study first is Jochebed, a mother who was incredibly confident, creative, and courageous! Her son was, in my opinion, the major character in the Old Testament. Therefore, Jochebed may deserve more recognition than she has been previously given. Our information of her is quite ...read more

Unclean Lips

Contributed by Samuel M on Sep 22, 2023

Prophet Isaiah cries - Woe is me, I am man of unclean lips. Unclean lips because he speaks Godly words, but they lack(don’t have) Jesus, i.e. they do not talk, describe, or present Jesus. They talk about God and His plans, but they rarely mention about Jesus in these plans.

“Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips” Isaiah 6:5 Prophet Isaiah cries - Woe is me, I am man of unclean lips. Unclean lips because he speaks Godly words, but they lack(don’t have) Jesus, i.e. they do not talk, describe, or present Jesus. They talk about God and His plans, ...read more

David Cuts The Corner Of Saul's Garment In The Cave Series

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 19, 2023

David didn’t kill Saul, but he’s even upset that he cut off a corner of his robe. How could he do this to the one God has placed as king? This is a man with a very strong conscience.

Have you ever had something really bad happen, and you wonder to yourself? How could God let this happen? Why is this happening? Or maybe you think, I can’t handle this. You feel overwhelmed. What do we do when we feel overwhelmed? We get through it. We let ourselves feel it. And we get through ...read more

Exodus 5,6 - Keep Your Focus! Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 25, 2009

How do you feel when you really believe God has called you to have a positive Godly influence on people and all you end up with is rejection? What do you do when things go from bad to worse? Pack up and leave? I love what Moses does...

Exodus 5,6 - Keep Your Focus! Exodus 5 is where Moses confronts Pharaoh and says "Let my people go!" He is rejected by Pharaoh and instead of freeing Israel, Pharaoh increases the oppression of their slavery. As a result of Moses efforts, Israel also rejects Moses leadership. How would you feel ...read more

Be In The Know (Part One)

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 28, 2019

2 Peter 1:3 says that God's power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him. Knowledge is key. Even though knowing is not enough, we must also be doers, we can't minimize the importance of knowing the Lord and his ways.

BE IN THE KNOW Last week, in my sermon on having a fresh restart, I talked about being refreshed. I went to 2nd Pet. 1:3-13 and we did some audience participation and highlighted all the refreshing things in that passage. Peter said God's power has given us everything we need for life and ...read more

What Is It Going To Be - Abiding Or Blacksliding? 1 John 2 V 28-29 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 5, 2022

It’s sad Christians live deficient lives when God has supplied all that's needed. Some say they have no direction; don't feel like partaking of spiritual things; careless about their walk. The problem often is the neglect of Godly resources - the word of God, prayer, and fellowship.

MESSAGE – WHAT IS IT GOING TO BE - ABIDING OR BLACKSLIDING? 1 John 2 v 28-29 1John 2 v 28 Now, little children, abide in Him so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming. 1John 2 v 29 If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone ...read more

The Lord’s Patience Is Only Giving Us Extra Time To Be Saved

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on May 17, 2021

This is an exposition of 2 Peter 3 as we learn not to become swayed by scoffers who cast doubts in our minds about the return of Jesus Christ. Jesus is coming as He promised; what seems like a delay is only a chance for us to repent. In the mean time, we should live godly as we await His return.

1. In the last days, there will be scoffers (v. 3) 2. The scoffers will be following their own evil (sinful) desires (v. 3) 3. They will mock the promise of the coming of Jesus Christ saying “Where is the promise of His coming?” they will ask. “Ever since our fathers fell asleep, everything ...read more
