Sermons on Unbelieving Israel:

"is There No Balm Or Leadership In Gilead?"

Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Mar 15, 2024

"Israel's failure to listen to God's prophet despite repeated warnings, symbolized by the balm of Gilead, raises the question of whether the current church leadership also lacks the necessary foresight and willingness to repent. Are they repeating the same mistakes?"

A Branch On The Tree.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Mar 16, 2024

Israel could not produce the type of fruit that God had intended because they tried to produce it on their own- and not God’s way. God expected to find peace, but instead He found bloodshed; He expected to find justice but instead He heard cries of oppression.

A Branch On The Tree. Charlie Brown, “Snoopy some day we will all die.” And Snoopy says, “True, but on all the other days we will not.” Here's my addendum, -The believer never dies! The grapevine has always been central to Israel’s agriculture and economy and was an important symbol for ...read more

Kingdom Keys - Genesis Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Jan 25, 2023

This is the book of beginnings. It depicts the story of Creation, the entry of sin, the flood, God's plan for redemption through the patriarchs of Israel. Like Abram, we are the sent people of God to be a blessing to humanity by testifying about God, His Son and the power of the Holy Spirit.

If you have been in church at all in your life then you have heard someone say to know God and his will for your life you need to read your bible regularly. I’ve heard it, said it and even suggested memorizing parts of scripture. However, the truth is many people rarely open “THE BOOK” to discover ...read more

Amos: God’s Prophet

Contributed by Samuel M on Jul 10, 2023

Just two years before the earthquake, God raised a prophet. He was a layman, a sheep breeder who had been reared with a divine message from God. The prophet suddenly came on the scene. He was from Judah, but his prophecies mostly concern Israel.

The words of Amos, who was among the sheepbreeders of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earthquake. Amos 1:1 Just two years before the earthquake, God raised a prophet. He ...read more

Reducing The Ark Of God To A Good Luck Charm

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Dec 1, 2021

In the early part of the time when Samuel was a Judge of Israel the people were still far from God. In a brazen act of foolishness some men charged into the Holy of Holies and and ran off with the Ark hoping it could help them defeat the enemy. It did not.

Where Did He Go? Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Job 19:25-27 “I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end He will stand on the earth.

Will You Serve The Lord?

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 7, 2019

Israel had seen the 10 plagues, the Red Sea open, the miracles in the wilderness, and God conquer the promised land. But 24 years later their devotion cooled off. Joshua brought them to a decision to recommit their lives. We need to make a new dedication too!

WILL YOU SERVE THE LORD? Josh. 23:3; 24:14-15 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Most of us make resolutions at New Year’s. One young boy asked his father what his new year’s resolution was, and his father said he was going to do everything possible in the new year to make his mother very happy. 2. The ...read more

You Can't Just Fake It!

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on May 24, 2017

In the life of King Josiah he did all he could do to bring Judah back to worshiping and obeying the Lord God of Israel even to the point of calling them together to recommit to faithfully serving the Lord. Did they really commit??? Let's find out.

Today we’ll be talking about Josiah and his striving to bring Judah back into fellowship with the Lord God Almighty and out of idolatry. Where does Josiah fall in the timeline of the history of Israel? - The Lord chooses Abram - The patriarchs - Bondage in Egypt - Moses and the Exodus - Wandering ...read more

The Song Of Resurrection

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Aug 12, 2015

Sadly we see today the calamities and devastation that fall on nations who have turned from the Living God of Israel. Pray we stay faithful or else we too will suffer those consequences should our nation collectively turn from God.

Saints; If we want to be effective for the cause of Christ we need a song in our hearts. If we want to assure people that our God provides eternal peace and hope we will need a smile on our face. If we want people to hear the joy of our salvation that comes from knowing Jesus as our Saviour they ...read more

A Song Of Hope Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jul 17, 2021

Mary and all Israel hoped in a Savior who would provide His people with salvation from sin and redemption unto God. In this passage, Mary was finally able to confidently declare her hope aloud through song and call Him “God my Savior.”

I’ve entitled our message for this morning “A Song of Hope.” The passage we’re going to see is often called the “Song of Mary.” In Mary’s words, we hear an expression of anticipation and joy in the coming fulfillment of her hope. So, what was Mary’s hope? Mary had the same hope as all the nation ...read more

The Book Of Lamentations – Part 44 – Elders Have Been Vanquished By Babylon. We Look At Joy And Music Ceasing. Then We Consider The Great Jewish Contribution In Music - Lamentations 5:14-15 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 11, 2025

Further to all the troubles, the elders no longer function with determining justice when they sat in the gate. Young men no longer play and enjoy music. The nation lost its joy. Israel has a rich legacy with Composers and Conductors and Performers. Joyful change at the Second Coming.

The Prophet And The Prostitute Series

Contributed by Matthew Black on Oct 12, 2019

Hosea 1 tells the story of how God told a prophet to marry a prostitute to show Israel her idolatry. In the symbolism of Hosea, God is the Prophet and we are the prostitute. In a very real sense, I am Gomer and so are you! We are unfaithful people who deserve God’s wrath, not his mercy.

OUTLINE 1. GOD’S LOVE IS UNDESERVING (1:1-3a). 2. GOD’S LOVE IS URGENTLY NEEDED (1:3b-9). 3. GOD’S LOVE IS UNRELENTING (1:10-2:1). Do you remember when you were a child? When children are small they run to their mother’s arms. We have little children all around here. Those arms of mama and ...read more
