    The Christmas Story

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Dec 12, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 17,034 views

    This telling of the birth of Christ is a mixture of narrative and historical facts. My prayer is that it blesses you.

    Many of us know the “Christmas Story” oh so well. And no, I’m talking about the one with the “Red rider BB gun”. That “Christmas Story” is very humorous and it’s a lot of fun to watch. But there was nothing humorous about what happened in Bethlehem and the neighboring villages as a result of the ...read more

    Sleep In Heavenly Peace

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Aug 15, 2021
     | 5,251 views

    I read an article where the writer posed a question: "what keeps you up at night?" It's too early to think about Christmas songs but I thought, 'what better sleep could there be than to sleep in heavenly peace?' Let's see how.

    SLEEP IN HEAVENLY PEACE There are times when it's hard to get to sleep. It can be because we had caffeine too late in the day or we had a snack too close to bedtime and now we're paying for it. Then there are other reasons-you have a deadline to meet and you're not ready. You have an ...read more

    The Great Tribulation Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 1, 2022
     | 4,064 views

    This will be a day like there has never been before. This time of intense trouble will go on longer than we want and it will be more intense than we want. Jesus seems to tell us that this time of mega affliction or Great Tribulation will be just before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

    When the book of Daniel opened, we met a young man, no more than a middle-school-aged student. Now, as Daniel closes, we see a man who is advanced in years and probably around his mid-80s. Daniel has dared to stand alone for God in a hostile environment. He has clearly shown us that a powerful ...read more

    The Dead Hear His Voice And Live

     | 5,657 views

    The day will come when all the graveyards and all the cemeteries in the world will be emptied out. They will give up their dead, who will live again. And those who have believed in Christ will live forever with him.

    The apostle John records seven miracles (or signs) from Jesus’s public ministry. Today we come to the seventh sign, and it is without question the greatest sign. For in John 11, the Lord Jesus powerfully restores the life of Lazarus. And it’s actually a miracle that we can relate to, in the sense ...read more

    The Essence Of Christmas Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Dec 6, 2022
     | 4,122 views

    Jesus went from sitting on a throne to lying in a manger to hanging on a tree. He went from being a king with a crown to a baby with diapers to a criminal on the cross. Why did He do this?

    It’s three weeks and just twenty-one days until Christmas. Christmas is so exciting for so many reasons: students are soon to be out of school, teachers are soon to be off from school, and lights are everywhere. Who doesn’t like presents for everyone brimming from underneath a Christmas tree? Andy ...read more

    Seeking The Lost PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 130 views

    Jesus seeks us where we are, calls us by name, and transforms our lives with grace that leads to joyful repentance and welcome.

    I wonder how many of us walked in today feeling small. Small under the weight of worries, small beside someone else’s success, small in the shadow of our own failures. We learn early how to tuck ourselves away—behind busyness, behind bravado, behind careful smiles. We wear “I’m fine” like it’s ...read more

    Relying on the Holy Spirit’s power, not our own efforts, keeps our focus on Christ and sustains us daily by God’s grace.

    If you’ve ever started your morning with grand intentions and then tripped over your own shoelaces by lunch, you’re in good company. We set the coffee, open the calendar, whisper a prayer, and head out the door with a heart set on Jesus. Then the rush hits. Emails multiply. Expectations pile high. ...read more

    Wat does death mean to a Christian?"

    THE MEANING OF DEATH Dying, Christ destroyed our death. Rising, Christ restored our life. Christ will come again in glory. Here and now, dear friends, we are God’s children.

    Six ways we can apply this storm to the storms in our lives.
