    Parables Of The Kingdom – The First - The Sower Or Rather The Soil – Part 4 Of 5 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 1, 2025
     | 222 views

    We are studying the third soil in the Parable of the Sower and now consider the reasons why the good seed gets choked by thorns. How many of us know someone who walked as a strong Christian but just departed the faith? It is a complex matter and we try to see why that happens.

    PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM – THE FIRST - THE SOWER OR RATHER THE SOIL – Part 4 of 5 In the last message we did the seed that fell on the rocky soil, and we also did some of the seed that was choked by thorns. We will finish that choked seed this time. Let us revise the relevant verses from last ...read more

     | 6,485 views

    We think of ourselves as people of the Book, but when the Word of the Lord contradicts our lifestyle, we practice "selective hearing." God says, "Get off the fence! Get on the Lord's side or on the world's side!"

    IS THERE ANY WORD FROM THE LORD? Jer. 37:2-17 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A teacher asked her class what was their favorite animal. Billy raised his hand, “Fried chicken.” She said, “No, I said what ‘animal.’” Billy responded, “Fried chicken!” She said, “I’m a member of PETA, the SPCA, Greenpeace, ...read more

    The Social Justice Movement is moving into the church. Should it be? Is it Biblical justice or is it the worlds attempt to remedy the injustices caused by sin? How can we know?

    Social Justice Warriors and The Bible Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:9-12 “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

    Unwrapping God's Gifts Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 29, 2022
     | 2,017 views

    If you aren’t actively seeking out or using your gifts to build up the body of Christ, why not? It’s why you were made.

    I love bumper-sticker theology. And one of my favorites is, “Life is hard try reading the instructions.” Those of you who have assembled toys or furniture may have discovered this principle the hard way. I’ve neglected to count the parts. I’ve put things together upside down and backwards. When I ...read more

    "Peter, Feed My Sheep” (12 Of 21)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 11, 2022
     | 1,751 views

    We often hear Christians say that they believe the Lord Jesus is coming soon to gather His church.

    When some Christians say that, it makes you wonder why they say that. I say this because their life-styles do not reflect that they believe He is going to come very soon. Many live their lives as we did as children. Illus: If our parents had to go somewhere, before they left they gave us chores ...read more

    Many live their lives as we did as children. Illus: If our parents had to go somewhere, before they left they gave us chores to do while they were gone. But once they were gone, we did pretty much what we wanted to do. But then someone would say, “Here comes Dad and Mom!” All of a sudden we ...read more

    Three Anchors To Grasp In The Storms Of Life!

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 16, 2021
     | 4,681 views

    The difficulties of life are often referred to as the storms of life. This is appropriate because both storms and the difficulties of life CAN BE DEVASTATING!

    Some of us are a little bit lame in our life because our life has gotten off track. Our expectations of the things of this world let us down, and we need to refocus on the person of Jesus Christ.

    I’m glad I got to speak about Acts chapter 3, because chapter 3 is kind of like one of those first huge miracles of the Church after the day of Pentecost, after the Holy Spirit was given. I want to pick up on the story because...now Peter has just received the Holy Spirit. He came on 120 people. He ...read more
