Hearing Versus Listening

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 30, 2024

Today we are going back to the OT days of Nehemiah to see how the people of that day listened or just heard God's Word. God has brought us here today, not just to hear a sermon, but to listen as God speaks to our heart.

When you come to a service like this or attend a Bible study class, do you just hear what is said or do you listen? Is there a difference? For most of us listening is our most frequently used communication skill. Listening is a very important part of communication. One study points out that ...read more

The Kingdom Of God: "Humanity’s Only Hope”

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Aug 4, 2024

The Bible has always had a word and it always has had the last word, and that’s because it’s God’s word. And the Bible, God’s word tells us exactly what humanity’s only hope is. It is being brought into the Kingdom of God by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Come and discover the full story.

Do Not Grow Weary In Doing Good

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Apr 15, 2024

Right in the middle of warning the ones who were being lazy and taking advantage of others, Paul tells the church that it should not discourage them from doing what was right and good.

Alba 4-21-2024 DO NOT GROW WEARY IN DOING GOOD II Thessalonians 3:6-15 You may have heard the quote: “Do all the good you can, to all the people you can, in all the ways you can, as often as you can, and as long as you can.” I was looking up that quote and found that it has been attributed to ...read more

Abraham Justified Before Circumcision Series

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Apr 22, 2024

Paul wants his people to know that salvation is not dependent on any work.

4:9 “Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised?” Is God’s blessedness, or happiness, which David just described, for only Jews, or can Gentiles get in on this? He doesn’t use those two terms though. He is making a point. Is a man made right and happy ...read more

Route To Great Awakening

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024

We can go on living as though this world were everything, and there is no eternal world or great God to whom we are accountable. But when Christ returns will each one of us account for your life with joy?

Opening illustration: God awakened me when I went to work in the Middle East. Till then I was just a lukewarm and laidback Christian. I saw the great need for the Gospel of Christ to be proclaimed to the so many lost souls there. They had no idea that they were perishing and there was only one way ...read more

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on May 6, 2024

Loving our enemies can be impossible, or so difficult to do, but not if you know why, and the process of love and how it can overcome; turning something impossible, to something I must do.

Sermon # 14 - Choices Have Consequences Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 7, 2024

God made Adam and Eve in His image and that’s why they also had the freedom to choose. Their choice had consequences for all mankind. Let’s learn how to make right choices, so we don’t miss out on the bountiful blessings God has in store for us.

We read in 2 Corinthians 9:8, “Besides, God is able to make every blessing of yours overflow for you, so that in every situation you will always have all you need for any good work.” (ISV) God is able to make every blessing overflow for us, and though it seems like there is no evidence that God’s ...read more
