The Importance Of Easter

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Apr 3, 2010

No other holiday is as critical to the Christian faith as Easter. The very foundation of Christianity stands or crumbles on the truthfulness of the assertion that Jesus Christ rose from the dead.

But God Gave The Increase Series

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Feb 10, 2020

We are tools in the Hands of God. We do nothing good in the eyes of God unless He is in it.

Throughout this series, we have looked at where God interjects, or otherwise interferes with the course of human events. Because if left up to our own ways and devices, we would flounder and fail. But God knows our hearts, and despite the wickedness of our hearts, God gave us Jesus, “while we were ...read more

The entire bible is meant to be believed and confessed. These are just a few of the passages which have the qualities of creeds, in that they specify what it is that is being taught and believed.

The God Who Commands Series

Contributed by Dave Clark on Oct 8, 2014

In Sunday school we get the condensed version of the Ten Commandments but they can be read expansively, so that you are challenged to consider how the commandment may apply to all sorts of real life situations.

The God Who Commands Exodus 20:1-17 October 5, 2014 Rev. David J. Clark The Israelites had been wandering in the desert for a long time.

Don’t Waste The Blood

Contributed by John Gaston on Sep 24, 2017

We waste the blood of Jesus when we allow condemnation, doubt God's forgiveness, compare our goodness to others, think our prayers won't be heard and don't walk in victory. Christ's blood makes us perfect to the Father.

DON’T WASTE THE BLOOD INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Noah And Today's Ark 1. The Lord spoke to Noah and said, "Noah, in six years I’m going to make it rain until the whole world is covered with water, but, I want to save a few good people and two of every living thing on the planet.

Job's Wife Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 1, 2021

No woman in history has been so severely condemned for so few words. She only steps on the stage for a moment, and she utters about ten words. On the basis of those few words she has been psychoanalyzed by preachers and scholars, and they have concluded, she was to Job what Judas was to Jesus.

Because of his great novel, War and Peace, Leo Tolstoy became one of the most famous Russians that ever lived. His fame and fortune did not bring him happiness, however, because of his wife. They were about as compatible as a porcupine and a bubble. She loved luxury, and he hated it. She loved ...read more

Honouring Our Parents

Contributed by Michael Stark on May 14, 2017

Christian children are instructed to honour their parents. This is one of the few direct commands to children in the congregation. I fear this command is neglected among the faithful today. The message is a study of what the Apostle wrote.

“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ‘Honour your father and mother’ (this is the first commandment with a promise), ‘that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.’” [1] The last days are described in frightful detail in Paul’s final letter to ...read more
