    Growing Closer To God

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Dec 2, 2013
     | 7,138 views

    This is rule number one. If we do this, all others will fall into place.

    This week and next week we will summarize what God’s word teaches us about growing closer to God and closer to one another through our recent study in Genesis 1-22. But to start us off, let’s go first to the New Testament look at the first part of Hebrews chapter 11 where we see all ...read more

    John 3:16 Perish Or Eternal Life Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Dec 6, 2011
     | 4,397 views

    Final Message from John 3:16 about the difference between perishing or having eternal life.

    Note: The resource I used was from John 3:16 by Max Lucado. Max does a great job in chapter 10-12 in describing Heaven & Hell. Worth reading. Title: Perish and Everlasting Life Outline Theme: Text: John 3:16 Joh 3:16 "For God (the creator of all the universe) so loved (was not absent from this ...read more

    Lgbtq - A Christian Response

    Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 28, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,203 views

    We Christians face an immoral society with alternate lifestyles. How are parents to explain to their children the lifestyles of these people and how we should treat them? Despite our stand for godliness, we must still demonstrate the grace and love of Jesus Christ to those still lost in sin.

    LGBTQ – A CHRISTIAN RESPONSE INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS 1. The village blacksmith finally found an apprentice willing to work long, hard hours. The blacksmith instructed the boy, “When I take the horse shoe out of the fire, I’ll lay it on the anvil. And when I nod my head, you ...read more

    A Light In The Darkness

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,706 views

    The beautiful truth of Christ's mission is that God was not just content to contain darkness or to hold it at bay for a while. Instead, he pierced the heart of it and conquered it on our behalf.

    INTRODUCTION The passage just read is probably one of my favorite Christmas passages from one of my favorite books of the Bible. In fact, it is one of the reasons Isaiah has sometimes been called the “fifth gospel”, because between this, 7:14, 11:1-9, and chapter 53, we have an almost complete ...read more

    Some have explained the darkness at the crucufixion as a total eclipse. Was it?

    Was the Darkness at the Crucifixion a Solar Eclipse? Matthew 27:33-56 “Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.” Well the much-hyped solar eclipse here in America has come and gone, and we are still here.

     | 7,836 views

    In the Beatitudes, Jesus shows the way of the believer. As we follow Christ daily, we will be blest. Our focus should be on the blessing, not the circumstance, and we should share the blessing with others.

    Matthew 5:1-12 Bless You! Today is a sermon on a sermon, perhaps the most famous sermon of all: the Beatitudes, part of Jesus’ longer Sermon on the Mount. The word “beatitude” means “blessed” in Latin. The Beatitudes are all about finding blessings in unexpected places. Who would expect to be ...read more

    Jesus Tells Date Of His Crucifixion Series

     | 3,995 views

    Here in this passage, Jesus predicts His death at the hand of the ones who should have been the first to accept him as Israel’s Messiah. It is incredible that these religious leaders perpetrated history’s greatest crime during Israel’s holiest festival.

    JESUS TELLS DATE OF HIS CRUCIFIXION INTRODUCTION Life presents us with many opportunities; how we respond to them depends on what we love and what we look for in life. The Jewish leaders looked for the opportunity to destroy Jesus, while at the same time Jesus was anticipating the opportunity ...read more

    To Whom Else Shall We Go?

    Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 20, 2019
     | 12,346 views

    Sometimes we may get disillusioned with church, but we all need a divine teacher; can you think of a better than Jesus? He understands us, knows all our faults; yet He loves us more than any other. And He alone can give eternal life.

    TO WHOM ELSE SHALL WE GO? John 6:66-68 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE KARATE DOG 1. Henry went to a pet shop to buy a watchdog for his wife Helen. “I have just the dog for you!” and brought out a miniature Pekingese. Henry, “That little thing? It couldn’t hurt a flee!” 2.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,157 views

    A sermon about the opportunity to be blessed by God by blessing others.

    This sermon is based in large part on a sermon by Rev. Tom Long given in 2016 called "The Open Window" “Don’t Miss It” Luke 16:19-31 What are we to make of this parable? What do you think Jesus wants us to get out of it? The word “parable” is kind of hard to define. It means a lot ...read more

    The "Day Of The Lord” Study In The Scriptures - New Testament Part 10 – (1 And 2thessalonians) Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 26, 2022
     | 1,630 views

    Paul had to explain to the Thessalonians that they were NOT in the Tribulation just because they were having problems. The man of lawlessness had to come first, The Antichrist, before The Day of the LORD commenced. The Rapture must come first.

    THE “DAY OF THE LORD” STUDY IN THE SCRIPTURES - NEW TESTAMENT PART 10 – (1 AND 2THESSALONIANS) THE NEW TESTAMENT REFERENCES TO THE DAY OF THE LORD The DAY OF THE LORD is “The Day of Jehovah” and its usage is always associated with something dire, with judgement, and with events outside the ...read more
