    Don't Lose Your Head!

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Jul 11, 2024
     | 967 views

    Herod's bad decisions, compromise, and pride created a prime situation in which to be taken advantage of and tricked into executing John the Baptist. We can learn from Herod and learn not to be so gullible.

    THE EXECUTION OF JOHN THE BAPTIST HAS GOT TO BE ONE OF THE MOST INTRIGUING, TANTALIZING, AND SADISTIC PASSAGES IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. ONE MIGHT EVEN QUESTION HOW THIS PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE COULD EVEN QUALIFY FOR A SUNDAY SERMON! JUST THE MARRIAGE ALONE, JOHN THE BAPTIST WAS CORRECT IN REBUKING HEROD ...read more

    Israel was chosen, yes. But now, through Jesus Christ, all who believe become part of God’s covenant family. We are the new Israel—not by blood, but by the blood of the Lamb.

    Go! And Be the People of God - Psalm 33:12 (NLT) “What joy for the nation whose God is the Lord, whose people he has chosen as his inheritance.” Introduction Let me ask you this: What defines a nation?

     | 638 views

    The Herods of the Bible provide us with powerful lessons on the dangers of pride, selfish ambition, and rejecting God’s will. Their lives serve as stark warnings about the cost of rebellion against God and the importance of humility, integrity, and obedience in leadership.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Matthew 2:1-18, Mark 6:14-29, Acts 12:1-23 Supporting Texts: Luke 23:1-25, Acts 12:20-23, Revelation 19:11-21 INTRODUCTION: The Herods in the Bible represent a family line known for their tyrannical rule and opposition to ...read more

    Foot Washing

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 19, 2024
     | 2,127 views

    One of the lowest things that a person could do in NT times was to wash feet. Jewish slaves were not allowed, only Gentile slaves. Jesus shares an important lesson for us all.

    I want you to imagine for just a few minutes, you’re in a little upper room lighted only by candlelight in the city of Jerusalem, and the time is some 2000 years ago. Into that room came 13 men. They do not wear shoes as we wear shoes. They wear sandals and the dust and sand cover their feet as ...read more

    Examining the parables of Jesus to fit the puzzle pieces together of how the Kingdom of God system practically works.

    How does the Kingdom of God system work? The Lord Jesus taught one main message while he walked the Earth: The Kingdom of God. He taught it through parables. So if we look at the parables, and try to fit them together, we can find the basic instructions for how to live in God's world system. ...read more

    Contributed by Thomas Andrufski on Oct 4, 2025
     | 195 views

    This is an insert to my book, "The Narrow Road" on Amazon.The sermon discusses how lawlessness, defined as the rejection of biblical authority and moral order, is increasingly evident in society and even within churches, leading to confusion and chaos.

    Understanding Lawlessness: A Biblical Perspective In 1 John 3:4, we read, "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." Sin, at its core, is lawlessness. It is not merely the absence of law but rebellion against the moral order established ...read more

     | 23,685 views

    The parable of the ten virgins is given to accentuate the incalculable importance of being spiritually prepared to meet Christ when He returns to earth, because after He appears, unbelievers who are then alive will have no further chance for salvation.

    A fun part of summer are the frequent weddings that occur. So much has changed over the years with weddings. No longer just a formal service in a church with a standard liturgy and vows, now couples often write their own vows, and for the more ambitious couples, it may be an outdoor service at an ...read more

    The Deceptive Power Of A Good Excuse

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,159 views

    Excuses can rob us of God's best. They are an enemy of great faith and accomplishment. In this examination of Luke 14:15-24, we learn from Jesus's story about those who excused themselves from a great feast. Those people missed the opportunity of a lifetime.

    Intro We take as our text today Luke 14:15-24. Follow with me as we read that passage. “Now when one of those who sat at the table with Him heard these things, he said to Him, ‘Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God! 16 Then He [Jesus] said to him, ‘A certain man gave a great ...read more

    In this part we will examine the purpose of our creation, satan’s deception and the process of temptation. We can clearly observe that nothing has changed since the beginning. Will we learn from history or relive it?

    Part II. Why did God create us? Why does it matter whether God used evolution or creation to form man? There are two major reasons this is a foundational issue. We are created in the image of God. Because we are the reflection of God, we have been created for the purpose of glorifying God. Unlike ...read more
