    The Mountain Top Experience Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 25, 2020
    based on 5 ratings
     | 24,179 views

    Why did Jesus lead Peter, James and John up on the Mountain? And why would God make it so they could see Moses and Elijah speaking with Christ that day?

    The story in our text today is recorded in Matthew, Mark and Luke and I believe it’s the source of the phrase “A Mountain Top Experience. So, over the past week I went searching for stories and quotes about Mountain top experiences, and I stumbled on this comment: “The Outing Club is hosting world ...read more

    Jesus, The Bread Of Life Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 26,468 views

    What did Jesus mean when He said "I am the bread of life" and what difference does that make to us?

    A man had just moved into town and stopped at local restaurant for dinner. The waiter did his best to please him but the man complained that he’d only received one piece of bread with his meal, so the waiter promptly brought him four slices. The man said, "That’s good, but not good enough. I ...read more

    The Room Of Death Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 14, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,187 views

    The fear of death is universal. And through the centuries, people have tried various ways to overcome their fear of death, but Jesus offers us a solution that actually works. What does Jesus offer that no one else can give?

    In the early 1900s there was a famous psychiatrist by the name of Dr. Carl Jung. He developed an intriguing test that psychiatrists/Psychologists will sometimes use to help their patients deal with a specific fear everyone seems to have. They tell their patients to imagine being in a white room, ...read more

    Viewing The Invisible

    Its time that we get our eyes off the problems and view the invisible.

    “Seeing The Invisible” Text: 2Kings 6:8-19 Intro: “Seeing the invisible” Now that sounds like a paradox and maybe it is a paradox because I know that something invisible is something that you cant see. so how can we view it , or how can we see it. The key word is We. How can we see it? you ...read more

    The War To End All Wars Series

    based on 15 ratings
     | 15,730 views

    Revelation is about a war to end all wars. But what is this about Armageddon and what does it mean to us?

    OPEN: Years ago I received a flyer for a Revival to be held in Richmond, Indiana. The “Revivalist” was going to tell us about 2nd coming of Christ. His topics would include the “rapture”, the rebuilding of the Temple, and the battle to end all battles – Armageddon. ...read more

    Saved A Wretch Like Me Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 21, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,019 views

    People struggle with being called "wretches" (like Amazing Grace has labeled us). The question is - are we "wretches", and if we are - why is that important to know?

    I love to sing so I’m going to ask you sing a couple old hymns with me: “Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that SAVED A WRETCH LIKE ME. I once was lost, but now I’m found. Was blind, but now I see. “At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light, and the burden of my heart rolled away. ...read more

    Nazareth, The City Jesus Grew Up In Series

    based on 8 ratings
     | 17,071 views

    Jesus grew up in Nazareth and he was forever known as "Jesus of Nazareth". But what was it about this city that would have formed His teachings and what can we learn from this region? This was the 2nd in my series of lessons telling of my trip to Israel.

    (Slide of our tour bus) This is a picture of our tour bus. It’s a Mercedes Benz and it seemed that every tour company in Israel had one just like it. The bus was very comfortable and roomy. After spending a couple of nights at Bethlehem we traveled by this bus down to Masada. Masada ...read more

    The Lion, The Lamb And The Throne Room Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 19, 2016
    based on 13 ratings
     | 24,746 views

    Almost everyone has a picture in their minds of what Jesus looks like... but almost no one visualizes Him the way He's shown in Revelation 5. Why does God paint us a portrait of a wounded lamb with 7 horns and 7 eyes?

    A preacher was showing a child a painting of Jesus. Trying to explain that we didn’t really know what Jesus looked like he said: "It's not really Jesus. It’s just an artist's conception of him." The child looked long and hard at the picture and said; "Well, it sure looks like him," ...read more

    Who Do You Say I Am

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Apr 19, 2022
     | 4,979 views

    Jesus asked Simon Peter, "Who do people say that I am?" Peter answered, “John the Baptist, or Elijah, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.” Jesus asked, Who do you say I am? Peter’s answer reverberates across the centuries: "You are the Christ, the son of the living God"

    What Do You Do With A Dead Jesus? Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 20, 2021
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,242 views

    When Jesus died, no one expected Him to rise from the dead. But if you don't believe Jesus is coming back from the dead, what do you do with a dead Jesus?

    OPEN: Back when I was in High School, I had a poem by John Donne on a poster on my wall that looked like parchment paper. It was cool, and the words sounded impressive. The last few words of the poem read this way: “Each man's death diminishes me, for I am involved in mankind. Therefore, send ...read more

    A Matter Of Life And Death Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 3, 2015
    based on 33 ratings
     | 25,334 views

    Cage fighting is a particularly gruesome way of fighting, and yet Paul used the fighting of his day (more brutal than MMA) to describe Timothy's responsibilities. What could we possibly learn from MMA that could make us better servants of Christ?

    How many of you know the meaning of these letters used to describe a sporting event: MMA? (Mix Martial Arts). It’s kind of like boxing where the contestants not only hit each other with their fists, but also with their feet and knees and elbows. It’s also called “Cage ...read more

    The Sign Of The Sabbath Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 12, 2017
    based on 11 ratings
     | 27,678 views

    Why would Jesus heal a man on the Sabbath and then tell the man (in violation of the Sabbath rules of the Pharisees) to pick up his mat and walk?

    OPEN: There’s a story I read once of 3 umpires who were talking about the feeling of power they had on the baseball field. As they talked about what gave them this sense of empowerment, the 1st umpire said – “I call ‘em as I see ‘em.” The 2nd smiled and said, “That ain’t nothing. I call ‘em as ...read more

    Sooner or later your gonna face a giant, and if you quit every time problems come then you’ll never be anything for God!

    “ You’ll never defeat the giant, unless you first conquer the lion and the bear.” Text: 1 Samuel Ch 17:32-51 Intro: Everyone here surely has heard the story of “David and Goliath.” Probably more than once. Its a pretty good book to read to our children, It teaches them that no matter what ...read more

    Are you ready to follow the leader? Rev. Thomas B. Gates Text: John 8:12 Luke 9:57-62 Intro: What does the call to follow Jesus mean to you?

    We had more new tithers after of this message than any other I have preached.

    Intro. A. Have you noticed how many factories today have a big white banner prominently displaying how many days they have gone without any injuries? The reason for this is because any injury makes everyone pay a price. When you count the cost of treating the injury, replacing the worker, loss ...read more
