     | 5,558 views

    Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time -- 28th Sunday, Cycle C

    They had heard reports that Jesus already cured someone from leprosy, and so they address him as Master to reflect their belief that Jesus has the authority to heal. But, Jesus did not say, “Be made clean,” so that “the leprosy left them immediately” (Luke 5:3). Instead, he tells them, “Go, show ...read more

    The eyewitness account of the Apostle John.

    THE CROSS OF JESUS. John 19:17-37. JOHN 19:17. “Went forth.” The ultimate sin-offering, outside the gate (cf. Hebrews 13:12-13). JOHN 19:18. “Where they crucified Him.” Typology of the brass serpent (cf. John 3:14). A hanged man is cursed by God (cf. Deuteronomy 21:23), and Jesus became a ...read more

    Are We Truly Loving Others As We Should? Series

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Aug 27, 2023
     | 745 views

    The life of grace is the start and the first standard in the heart of a Believer.

    Those who have disdain in their hearts for their brother must be deprived of love. Jesus taught that hate is the same as murder. The life of Jesus, eternal life, cannot abide in us if we hate others. Do we detest any of our fellow Christians, or for that matter, anyone else? How can we say that we ...read more

    Lord, Why Do This To Us?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 11, 2024
     | 307 views

    Here’s an answer that relies on the everlasting good that came from the murder of Jesus Christ.

    Twenty-Fourth Sunday in Course 2024 As our prayer group looked at the Scriptures we have just heard, one member asked, “Isn’t this Isaiah reading something from Good Friday?” And she was right. This is one of Isaiah’s “Servant songs” describing what we know as the prophesied sufferings of the ...read more

    The Resurrection Series

    based on 49 ratings
     | 18,828 views

    Have you ever felt that doing things for God is impossible and if you fail you’ve fouled up God’s plan? This message will encourage you to step out, even if you fail.

    The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the single most important event in world history. It is even more important than the cross - in this way: that if Jesus did not rise from the dead, the cross would be meaningless for mankind. Jesus was perfect and would go back to be with the Father - the ...read more

    Comparing the lives of Saul and Samuel we discover that the golden carrot of listening to God is the assurance of good decision making

    Conversant with Christ 1 Samuel December 9, 2001 This past Thanksgiving I had occasion to meet a man who had won a monetary settlement of about $400,000. After he was awarded the money he made some interesting decisions. He quit work and began throwing money around as if he had inherited the ...read more

    Matthew's Puzzling Conversion

    Contributed by William Mouser on Jun 6, 2005
    based on 10 ratings
     | 3,180 views

    Matthew’s puzzling and sudden following of Jesus is not so puzzling if we attend to Matthew’s profession, his Levitial upbringing, and his recognition of Jesus as the one about whom Hosea prophesied.

    Matthew’s Puzzling Conversion Psalm 50 or 50:7-15, Hosea 5:15-6:6, Romans 4:13-18, Matthew 9:9-13 Last Sunday, I had occasion to mention the California coastal city named Laguna Beach. I mentioned Laguna Beach as an example of Jesus’ parable at the end of the sermon on the Mount, the part about ...read more

    Jonah is tossed overboard expecting to die but is saved by a Whale. In this verse, Jonah serves as a type of Christ in the many simalarities of these two men.

    The third of three sermons on the Bible and its importance

    As I begin this morning, I am asking you to dip into your historical awareness (realizing as I do that not everyone loves history) with this question. (Slide 1) In your opinion, what has been the most important military battle in history? No one mentioned (Slide 1a) The Battle of Salamis. The ...read more

    God's Fingerprint

    Contributed by Larry Moore on Dec 9, 2006

     | 22,868 views

    A message about one of the spiritual attributes of God that’s described with physical examples. The responsibility of believers to be a part of this attribute.

    God’s Fingerprint Luke 11:20, “But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, surely the Kingdom of God has come upon you.” Does God have fingerprints? I think, that at least figuratively, we have to say that He does. Let me give you a few facts about fingerprints before we get into the ...read more

    Lies, Lies Sweet Little Lies = Do Not Bear False Testimony Series

    Contributed by John Gullick on Nov 23, 2015
     | 6,460 views

    A sermon that looks at the danger of lies. I used a number of resources from other sermons so want to acknowledge that some of this is "borrowed" thinking.

    There is a pop song called lies lies sweet little lies. Our bible verse this morning would suggest that there is nothing sweet or little about lies. Particularly lies that bear false testimony Ravi Zacharias illustrated the many ways a person can tell the truth when he told the story of two ...read more

    Presenting The Gospel From The Old Testament Series

    Contributed by Paul Barreca on Dec 31, 2015
     | 7,931 views

    The truthfulness of Christianity is made unbreakable because of Old Testament prophecy.

    How do you present the Gospel to someone who places Christianity as one of many religious options? Such a person might be an agnostic, a secular humanist, a Jewish friend, or a person practicing any number of religious beliefs. We see our faith very differently from the way others see it.
