No Use To Unpack, We’ll Be Going Home Soon!

Contributed by Ronnie Miller on Jan 13, 2014

The older I get the more I see the earth as it really is, only a temporary stop until we reach home. When Brenda and I were young and working every day with two boys in school, I never thought much about sickness, being in the hospital or any life threating event.

No use to unpack, we’ll be going home soon! Hebrews 11: 7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.8 By faith Abraham, ...read more

Another "Jesus Saves Us From Our Storms" Sermon

Contributed by Jon Lipka on Aug 17, 2014

The message of Jesus' salvation and care for us in the midst of our storms is always relevant and new. Every day, new storms threaten to overtake us, if it weren't for the might of Jesus and His careful watch over us.

Today’s Gospel is very familiar to us all. We all love to hear of Jesus walking on the water, and Peter’s feeble attempt to walk to Jesus, from which Jesus saved him. And if you’re like me, you’re probably thinking that you know exactly what today’s sermon will be ...read more

Contributed by Mark Stepherson on Feb 23, 2012

Abiding in Christ, a relationship more intimate than being at home with a loving family, is our source of life. Christ’s words abiding in us should be so familiar to us that when we encounter the false we know it. These are two keys to empowered prayer.

Prayer Keys - Abiding in Christ and Christ’s Words Abiding in Us “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you,” John 15:7. For this prayer key, I prefer the “old fashioned” King James Bible language. Abiding carries ...read more

What Jesus Teaches Us About Loving Our Enemies

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 26, 2015

No matter how hard we try, we know that there are going to be flaws & blemishes in our life. We know that we are not without sin because the Bible tells us so. So let’s take a look at the subject of love.

If there is one thing the world really needs to know more about, & to put into practice, it is "love." How often Jesus tells us to love one another. In John 15:12 He commanded us to love one another. In fact "love" is so important that Jesus devoted a whole section of the Sermon on the Mount to ...read more

Why New Testament Christians Reject The Use Of Mechanical Instruments

Contributed by David Hersey on Mar 28, 2015

The 1st century Christians rejected the use of manmade instruments of music in their worship to God. The reason they did so was the same reason why they rejected animal sacrifices and other elements of the old law. This sermon examines this in detail.

Why New Testament Christians Reject the Use of Mechanical Instruments of Music There’s a general attitude building among the Lord’s church about mechanical instruments of music that tends to be a bit fuzzy. We are seeing a number of large congregations that are making a switch to ...read more

“transforming How I See And Use Money” Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Nov 10, 2014

God wants to teach us how to be biblically shrewd with money.

Jesus talked more about money than heaven or hell. Half of His parables are about money. In Matthew, Mark and Luke, one out of every six verses is about money or money management. Why? Because money influences our lives for either good or bad. If you don’t learn to manage your money, it will ...read more

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 14, 2016

We must take a stand for God. Just like the Hebrew Boys, we too will be tempted for what we believe. Our God whom we serve can deliver. History and the Bible prove that He can. Therefore He will again. Our problem is that we forget so easily.
