A Good Question Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 3, 2021

Paul says, let freedom prevail, and suppress no aspect of the truth, and let each be persuaded in his own mind. This, of course, means that some will be persuaded one way and others another way, and so there will never be full agreement.

A crystal gazer collected 25 dollars for a reading and told the visitor, "This entitles you to ask me two questions. Isn't that a lot of money for only two questions?" Asked the startled woman. "Yes it is," answered the fortune teller. "Now what is your second ...read more

.the Clothes Of Heaven Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 8, 2021

It is no accident that wedding gowns are white. White is a universal symbol of the joy of marriage. No other color can portray the joy of love between two people. No other color can convey the joy of the marriage of the Lamb and His Bride.

A taylor who used an apple as a trade mark was asked why he used that particular symbol. He replied, "If it hadn't been for the apple, where would the clothing business be?" He had a good point. The clothing business did start in the garden of Eden because of sin, and the need to ...read more

The Shortest Sermon Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 9, 2021

The success of Jonah is hard to believe. Skeptical scholars just flatly deny it. The facts are amazing. Jonah was preaching a message he didn't want to, and so his heart really was not in it. He really hoped it would be a flop even though he obeyed the letter of God's command.

As we all know, the Bible is very brief on its account, considering all the centuries that it covers. It was not designed to tell us everything and to give an exhaustive and detailed record of God's working. It was designed to give us basic truths, principles, and examples of their operation ...read more

I Have A Plan!

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Apr 11, 2021

It would not be an exaggeration, but an understatement to say God has already prearranged 1,000’s of events, waiting to happen in your life to increase you, to promote you and to bless you.

I have a plan! Illus. by Christian Cheong A famous British writer George Bernard Shaw once visited a sculptor Sir Jacob Epstein at his studio. The visitor noticed a huge block of stone standing in one corner and asked what it was for. "I don’t know yet. I’m still making plans." Shaw ...read more

When Will Jesus Return Again? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

Jesus’ Second Coming is rich news to those who are hurting. All the pain and suffering of our lives will not last forever. As one pastor recently said, “The promise of the second coming shows us the ‘good ole days are always ahead of us.”

Several weeks ago, I asked for your help in your choice of today’s sermon. Your top choice was “When Will Jesus Return to Earth?” But a little analysis of the results led us to understand that it was really only this early service that asked for this topic. So … in the next couple of services, the ...read more

Thanksgiving In Canaan Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jun 16, 2021

Thanksgiving Holiday: This message looks at two thanksgiving feasts that the Israelites were commanded to observe each year, in remembrance of God bringing them through their hardships in Egypt and the wilderness wanderings.

Many people think of Thanksgiving as a wonderful time of enjoying a long weekend, spending quality time with friends and family, and eating a great home-cooked meal with all the “fixings.” Perhaps some people view it as the start of the Christmas “holiday” season, with an opportunity to shop for ...read more

Would You Have Gone? Series

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Oct 29, 2023

God leads Paul to Jerusalem. It doesn't seem to make sense. It will be costly. Friends advise against. Would you have gone? We see God's priority is mission.

INTRODUCTION Have you ever been in a situation where you felt that God was asking you to do… Something that DIDN’T MAKE A LOT OF SENSE to you? Something that was COSTLY? Something that all your friends URGE YOU NOT TO DO? That was the situation the apostle Paul was in. Many years previously ...read more

Heaven Or Hell: The Choices Are Ours"

Contributed by Joe Bedy on Jul 19, 2023

God is very clear in His written Word regarding His plan of Salvation and it does not include a philosophy of "easy believism".

As Cindy and I travel to assembly each Sunday a preacher comes on the radio. His opening words every week begin with: “ If I had to give this message a title it would be” and then he gives us the title. I chuckle every week- I don’t know why. Maybe because he is so predictable. So this week I am ...read more

The Sin Of Idolatry

Contributed by Dwight Davis on Aug 18, 2023

Many Christians today believe the Second Commandment is outdated and maybe even irrelevant for believers today. But if we take a closer look at the principle behind the commandment, we will find most of us engage in this sin more often than we think.

The Sin of Idolatry Last week, elder Jermaine preached the first sermon in our new series dedicated to the Ten Commandments. His sermon dealt with the First Commandment in which God makes it clear that we are to have no other gods before OR even besides Him; and today, we’re going to take a ...read more

His Time, His Way, His Power

Contributed by Mike Hullah on Jun 7, 2022

God understands us we think, until a roadblock, appears in our pathway. We can then begin to question ourselves and God. Did He really say this, is it for me? This sermon helps us know His Time, His Way, His Power.

His Time. His Way, His Power Genesis 18:10-14 Then the LORD said, "I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son.” Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him.

Living Up To The Name (Seventh Sunday After Pentecost, July 24, 2022)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jul 23, 2022

Paul reminds us that we are to be rooted and built up in Christ so that we live up to the name of what it means to be a Christian within and influential in our witness of Christ to others on the outside.

Joseph: Rejected But Respected Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Aug 11, 2022

The life of Joseph, son of Jacob, is one of the most interesting in the Bible. This message is mostly a summary of his life, from slave to sovereign to sustainer. Don't we all wish there were more Josephs!

Introduction: What comes to mind when you think about Joseph, son of Jacob? Many of us, including me, tend to think first of his “coat of many colors” and his dreams. That’s true, but that’s only part of the story. In fact, Joseph spent several years away from his family in a foreign land, rising ...read more
