Breaking The Chain, Part Iii Series

Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Mar 13, 2009

Lent 3: Part three of a three part sermon series dealing with temptation. In this sermon, we consider Scriptural approaches to overcoming temptation by looking at how to break the chain of events that takes one from temptation to committing sin.

This is the third and final message in our series on temptation. We’ve been dealing with a number of topics over the last couple of weeks that have to do with temptation: Why it’s important to talk about temptation; How the Bible talks about temptation and last week, what the Bible teaches about ...read more

Ultimate Worship - Ultimate Betrayal Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 16, 2012

It is at the darkest part of the night that a light shines the brightest. As we come to Mark 13 we see hope at the end of a terrible time in earth's history, when the lights will dim for the coming King. Then we see the path to that event beginning as the

We pick up the story from where we left off—Jesus’ disciples asked Him about the destruction of the Temple and, presumably, when He, as the Messiah, would take over the world. Jesus told them that many events would take place prior to His return but that His disciples should not focus ...read more

"The Merry-Go-Round Of Time"

Contributed by Paul Ray on Jul 22, 2013

God's timing is sovereign, sufficient, seasonal, and surprising. God turns extreme calamity into extreme possibility in the pendulum swing from Good Friday to Easter morning. Change comes as an unfolding pattern rather than a mindless swing of events.

January 20, 2013 “The Merry-Go-Round of Time” Ecclesiastes 3:1-14 Everything that happens in this world happens at the time God chooses. 2 He sets the time for birth and the time for death, the time for planting and the time for pulling up, 3 the time for killing and the time for ...read more

A Fisherman's Confession Series

Contributed by Jim Drake on May 23, 2009

What does it mean to confess Christ? Is it a onetime event? It certainly wasn’t in Peter’s life. Peter’s confession involved proclamation, preparation, examination and restoration. The fact is that confessing Christ is a life-long commitment. Are you

A Woman, A Well, And A Water-Pot

Contributed by Seth Lawson on Feb 2, 2018

As we examine this event is Jesus' life and ministry [John 4:1-42] we will learn that he comes to break down social barriers (cultural, racial, traditional) and to turn our focus from the temporary to the eternal.

We’re in the middle of our Summer Series entitled: “LIVE-LIKE-THAT” and through this series of messages we’re challenging each of us to begin living as Jesus lived and loving as Jesus loved.

Signs Of The End (Part 1)

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 8, 2017

Just days prior to the crucifixion, Jesus spoke to His disciples regarding the events surrounding the end times. While we cannot predict the day, nor the hour, we can see the stage being set for His return!

Signs of the End (Part 1) Matthew 24: 3-14 Today I want to begin a study on what is known as the Olivet Discourse. Jesus spoke these words in His last days prior to the crucifixion in response to the disciples’ questions regarding His return and the end of the age. These verses have been ...read more

During this incredible event two things are certain: Jesus performs His first miracle to reveal His glory, and, His disciples put their faith in Him. Would we respond by following Christ if we were there too?

Repent

Contributed by Rick Boyne on Feb 9, 2022

True repentance is an event that takes place in the spiritual realm and manifests itself in the physical realm. If our repentance only takes place in the physical realm without the power of the Holy Spirit, it will not bring glory to God nor will it be an efficacious endeavor.

When Outcomes Are Uncertain Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Dec 28, 2020

You don't know how some important event is going to turn out. You are anxious about the outcome. How should you respond during times of great anxiety and uncertainty. There is One who is in control.

Well, 2020 is again a year like no other. We have a terribly contentious Presidential election. And election day and night come, and the result is inconclusive.

What God Can Do With A Little

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jul 15, 2021

Here begins the beautiful story of “Feeding the Five Thousand,” which is told by all four of the evangelists and this is the only event from the earthly ministry of Jesus told in all four gospel. It shows what God can do with a little!

The first outstanding event of Jesus feeding of the five thousand, occurs right after the report of the twelve apostles, who had just returned from their first missionary tour. This is a glowing account of their work and their teaching. Matthew says that Jesus withdrew to a desert place apart when ...read more

Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Jul 25, 2021

In Mark 11:12-22 Jesus curses a fig tree and kicks out a bunch of religious people from the temple. Both acts seem pretty straightforward but are in fact extremely momentous events that have far-reaching consequences.

I Met Him When I Had No Choice Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Mar 28, 2021

Jesus stands before Pilate. It seems that Jesus is being swept away by the events surrounding Him but the TRUTH is that Jesus is the only one in control. It is Pilate and the Jewish leaders who are being swept up in a battle that they cannot see or control.

Governor Pilate stood on the balcony of the praetorium, his headquarters, and looked down at the mobs milling around in the streets below. “Ugh!” he thought. Jewish pilgrims, priests, vendors, thieves, rebels, beggars, prostitutes … rabble! … all crammed into Jerusalem’s narrow streets … and it ...read more

Testifying For Christ Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Apr 17, 2021

Paul preached the Gospel faithfully and without fear, fulfilling the Lord's call for his life to proclaim His name to the Gentiles and kings. The biography of Paul is being written, not so much as events unfold but as the Lord determines.

LET US PRAY: Grant us the faith to believe you and trust you fully, for all that you’ve revealed to us in your holy Word. May we be enlightened and encouraged today. Bless this time, we pray, in Jesus’ Name, AMEN. --------------- We have been seeing in the book of Acts the fulfilment of the ...read more

Matthew 17:1-3 - What Is The Transfiguration Of Jesus About? Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Aug 14, 2014

What significance does the Transfiguration of Jesus have for me? Why did it all take place? Matthew 17 speaks about this spectacular event in the life of Jesus, but what does it all mean? What is the transfiguration all about?

Matthew 17:1 – ASCENDING THE GREATEST MOUNTAIN OF ALL I was so intrigued by the fact that he had named himself. His father neglected to name him and so in his early teenage years he chose his own name; the name of a mountain. Mt Taraksh means Great One, and in keeping with his name, Taraksh ...read more
