Every Chance You Get: Build A Bridge

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jan 8, 2020

Consider the difference between a wall and a bridge. We often build walls to try and protect ourselves. A wall came become a prison that limits our growth. God's plan is that we build BRIDGES. Let us connect to growth.

EVERY CHANCE YOU GET --- BUILD A BRIDGE? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. TEXT: I love word artist that can paint with words… 1 Thessalonians 3:12 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you: 1 ...read more

Loving As Christ Loved

Contributed by Fred Sigle on Apr 2, 2012

Throughout the gospels there is no record of Jesus ever directly telling any of his chosen disciples that he personally loved them. Yet, there was no question about His love for them, for He demonstrated it time and again. Now He asks the disciples to l

LOVING AS CHRIST LOVED A. What are you willing to do for someone you love? ILLUSTRATION: Some of my fondest memories as a kid was playing with my brothers and friends at an old abandoned TWO-STORY HOUSE located about a quarter of a mile in a PASTURE across from where we lived in Oklahoma.

No Room For Compromise

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Sep 7, 2021

Today we are going to again use chapter 2 of Revelation beginning in verse 12 to see what Jesus had to say about the church at Pergamum and how they compromised their faith in Christ by “changing their color” and becoming like those around them.

We have been studying the Book of Daniel on Wednesday nights and I would like to invite you all to come at 6:30 on Wednesday nights and join us. But last Wednesday, we talked about how Daniel and his 3 friends were tempted greatly to compromise with King Nebuchadnezzar’s and the world’s ways. We ...read more

Forgiveness Is A Choice

Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 9, 2022

Joseph had to choose to forgive his brothers. He saw God's sovereignty in the betrayal, he saw the same nature was in him and he tested their hearts with his brother. He forgave and never brought up the subject again.

FORGIVENESS IS A CHOICE Gen. 45:1-8 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: sometimes it’s better not to know so much 1. In France, in the 1790’s, a priest, a lawyer and an engineer were arrested & about to be guillotined. The priest put his head on the block, they pulled the rope and nothing happened. He ...read more

Escaping The Trap Series

Contributed by David Asch on Feb 16, 2005

How do we escape the traps of life, religion, etc? How do we get out, how do we keep out? In this message we discover the keys as we see some religious leaders try to trap Jesus.

ESCAPING THE TRAP Mark 12:13-27 INTRO: Pitch the hamster – feeling trapped. A hum-drum existence, punctuated by brief moments of excitement. Eat the food. Run on the wheel. Over and over again. Not able to be all a hamster could be. You could tell it was getting to her – more urgent climbing and ...read more

Who Will Deliver Me! Series

Contributed by Greg Nance on Apr 28, 2005

The law of God is perfect, but we are not. Trying to live up to God’s standards with our own steam is an impossible task. Before power comes freedom! ...Free from sin, free from death, even free from the law!

If I were to take a long piece of super-duper duct tape and stick it firmly to your hairy arm, how would you prefer to have it removed if you only had these two choices: Slowly, pulling out one hair at a time, or suddenly, ripping it off instantly? Most of us would prefer a quick rip. Well, when ...read more

David Encouraged Himself In The Lord His God

Contributed by Mark Roper on Dec 22, 2008

We all need encouragement from time to time. All of us at sometime or other face a crisis when everything seems to fall apart. There are times of discouragement, when things go wrong even when we are trying to do right.

David encouraged himself in the Lord his God 1st Samuel 30:1-6 You don’t smile like you used to. You don’t love like you used to. You don’t get happy like you used to. You don’t feel the Spirit like you used to. You don’t interact with others like you used to. You don’t hug like you used to. You ...read more

Do You Ever Feel Like A King? Series

Contributed by Peter Schmidt on Jul 13, 2004

Too often we treat our sins the way David treated his: we sweep them under the rug and try to forget about them. But the Lord confronts us with sin, in order to show us his awesome power to forgive!

Pentecost 4 II Samuel 11:26-12:10,13-15 I don’t know about you, but this has never happened to me, that I come home at the end of a day, take a seat on the couch, kick my feet up onto the coffee table and remark, “you know, I really felt like a king today!” You probably also have a difficult time ...read more

- Debate In The Temple Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 23, 2015

The Pharisees try to trap Jesus by questioning his authority, by asking about taxes paid to Caesar, the resurrection and which Law is greatest. Jesus rebuts all their attacks. But the battle isn't over. Satan continues his attacks on us today.

Sermon by Rev George Hemmings During my time at Ridley, one of the highlights was the debates. Sometimes there’d be big debates in class, as we tried to wrap our heads around big theological ideas. But the really great debates were the ones the student body organized. Two small teams of ...read more

God Delivers Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Nov 2, 2021

Tonight brings us the climax of this story that most of us already know. But even though it's a familiar story, I always look for some reason that this story is in God's Word. Why is it there and what it is trying to teach us?

Tonight's study in the third chapter of Daniel is really very short. But even though it's short, it packs a powerful message for all of us. Last time our study in the Book of Daniel left us at the entrance to the fiery furnace. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were bound, fully clothed, ...read more

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Apr 18, 2012

That’s what happens when we believe in, and trust, and accept Christ. Every need of life, of nourishment, and of growth is met. Nothing is left out or lacking. This doesn’t mean that the person will never again hunger after righteousness. Because a pe

READ the whole passage. I read verse 36 and have to wonder how many people today would be the same way. If Jesus Christ walked into this sanctuary right now and told us who He was, would we believe or would we require a sign.

Mary And The Passion Of Jesus

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Mar 13, 2018

Simeons prediction that, 'A sword will pierce your own soul too' to Mary was to come true time and time again and how it must of hurt. Mary was there and watch the happy, the terrible and horrific moments of her Son ministry but could do nothing.

Mary and the Passion of Jesus The words of Simeon spoken in the temple to Mary: "This child is destined for the falling and the rising of many in Israel....and a sword will pierce your own soul too." I wonder what Mary made of this, did she expected it to lead to death on a cross? There she ...read more
