    A sermon about trusting in Christ.

    “You Give Them Something to Eat” Matthew 14:13-21 Jesus liked to eat. The disciples of John the Baptist noticed this enough to ask Jesus why He didn’t fast. Jesus’ enemies noticed this enough to ask the disciples why Jesus ate with tax collectors and sinners. They called Him a glutton and a ...read more

    I get it, I know bad news grabs the attention and travels around the world while the good news is still in the garage. Believers can have faith and confident hope in God’s ways.

    Sermon: Faith in God’s Ways Scripture Lesson: Isaiah 55:8-13 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

    It is Jesus Christ in whom we place our faith. This righteousness of God is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.

    The Righteousness of God Romans 3:20-26 What is your response to “the righteousness of God”. Does it make you excited to know more about God? Are you indifferent about “the righteousness of God”? There was an Augustinian Monk that found the concept of “the righteousness of God” repulsive. He ...read more

    Jesus responds to the Pharisees and Herodians, God responds to Moses. In both situations, God provided simple answers to what could have been hard questions.

    Grace In Strange Places

     | 1,796 views

    God's grace and protection are often in places we really do not want to go and through people we disdain.

    Joshua 2 Grace In Wrong Places Jos 2:1  And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into a harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there.  Joshua (Jehovah-saved) son of Nun ...read more

    Atonement

    Contributed by Don Campbell on Feb 21, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,830 views

    The word "atonement" is missing from the New Testament in many translations. The NIV does use it three times, two of which refer to the sacrifice of Christ.

    ATONEMENT There is power in words for both good and evil. Solomon tells us: “There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing” (Prov 12:18). Jesus warned: “I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they ...read more

    Harvest Is Bigger. God Does More.

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Oct 1, 2022
     | 4,192 views

    At our harvest festival we usually think of food, crops. But we need to expand our concept of harvest. We also need to recognize just how much God is involved in providing for us.

    Today is our Harvest Thanksgiving service. It’s a time to thank God for the harvest. But what exactly are we thanking God for? I want to do two things today. The first thing is to encourage us to see harvest as something bigger than what the combine harvester picks up. The second thing is to ...read more

     | 2,712 views

    Paul had left Berea and with the help of friends made it to Athens, one of Greece's largest cities. He stood alone in that city, sharing the gospel with as many as he could: even some of the elite!

    Introduction: This section covers Paul’s ministry in Athens, after he had left Thessalonica and Berea. While there he tried to share the Gospel with as many as he could. 1 The Dialogue in the Agora or market place Text, Acts 17:16-21, KJV: 16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit ...read more

    Do I Have To Pay Someone To Teach Me How To Pray?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 22, 2022
     | 1,077 views

    Why would anyone need to pay to learn how to pray when it is clear that the Lord told us how in the Bible?

    I recently read an article where someone was charging people nearly $1500.00 to attend a seminar on how to learn to pray. Let us look at Luke 11:1-13. 1. And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as ...read more

    The Shepherd is a God-called, anointed person who is charged with feeding, protecting, leading, and admonishing the sheep under his care. He is a gift from God. Jer 3:15 “And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.”

    Sermon: Celebrating a Faithful Shepherd! Scripture: 1Thes 5:12-13 “Dear brothers and sisters, honor those who are your leaders in the Lord’s work.

    Contention Intervention

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 24, 2022
     | 1,576 views

    The kind of conflict---contention that the Apostle Paul addressed in the early part of I Corinthians is very similar to that that existed in the split that resulted in the formation of the “Ant-peg Baptist Church”.

    I Corinthians 1:10. I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. 11. My brothers, some from Chloe's household ...read more

     | 4,172 views

    Praise is the right thing to do for all who experienced the grace of God in any measure. Isaiah says, In that day, the whole company of God’s redeemed people will celebrate God with songs of praise. The present trials will end and all will rejoice in the coming Messiah!

    Sermon: Get Ready To Sing Again! Scripture: Isaiah 12:1-6 “In that day you will sing: “I will praise you, O Lord! You were angry with me, but not anymore. Now you comfort me.

    BURY THE CHURCH OR BETTER THE CHURCH

    Illustration: Years ago in a small quiet community, it was the tradition that when someone died that the pastor would go to the church and ring the church bell three times.

    The Glorious Face Of God: A Sermon For Transfiguration Sunday

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Feb 10, 2024
     | 1,128 views

    We all want to see the face of God. Someday we shall see Christ in all of His glory who is the face of God we shall see. In the meanwhile, the greater glimpses of the glory of God is only rarely revealed to certain selected persons such as Peter, James, and John on the Mount of Transfiguration.

    The Glorious Face of God 2 Corinthians 4:3-6 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.
