    I made up in mind every time I get a chance, every time I get an opportunity, to say thank you unto God, I am going to open up my mouth, I am going to raise my hands, and I am going to tell God, “thank you!” Is there anybody here that just wants to tell

    My father’s children there is not doubt in my mind, that the reason I am able to stand here before is because God has blessed me with two wonderful parents. There is some thing about my parents that I need to let you know, my parents believe in the scripture, “If you spare the rod, you’ll spoil ...read more

    Let’s Go Fishing Series

     | 61,070 views

    The best fishermen often have expensive rods and reels and lures. But these are only tools. If those tools don’t help them catch fish, they’re worthless. What tools do we use to "catch" souls for Jesus and how does Jesus turn us into "fishers of men"?

    A couple of guys named Ed and Fred had gone fishing for the very first time in their lives. They went out and bought themselves a couple of rods and reels, went down to the lake and rented a boat at the boat rental place and rowed out to a likely place and let down their anchor. They’d read ...read more

    "Certain Persons” – The Creepers Who Slipped In, Quietly In Slippers – Jude 1 Verse 4 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 10, 2022
     | 2,224 views

    Even in Jude's time false teachers had crept into the church and Jude does not hold back. In this message we look into "creeping" and examine these false teachers, ungodly men, the wolves among the lambs. There is much warning for us too 1950 years later.

    “CERTAIN PERSONS” – THE CREEPERS WHO SLIPPED IN, QUIETLY IN SLIPPERS – Jude 1 verse 4 MESSAGES IN JUDE – MESSAGE 3 Jude 1 v 4 Jude 1:4 “for certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God ...read more

    The Race

     | 15,230 views

    Each Christian is running in a marathon. Our Christian life is not a sprint, but a marathon which demands our best always.

    “Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the ...read more

    The Bucket List Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 14, 2020
    based on 6 ratings
     | 18,358 views

    A bucket list is a list of things you want to do before you "kick the bucket." But God warns us that there is one item we MUST have on that "bucket list." What is that "one item", and how do accomplish it?

    Did you realize all the things we do with time? We “MAKE” time, and we TAKE time, for things that are important to us. We “SAVE” time with all kinds of gadgets and doodads. We “MARK” time, we “KILL” time, we “RACE AGAINST” time. AND (someone noted) that the worst thing you can do with time, is ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 8, 2023
     | 1,323 views

    Three schemes are examined to see Satan’s division and hurt in the human race. The wide net of PLEASURE is first; followed by the corruption of CHRISTMAS and EASTER; followed by what FEMINISM is doing to our world. These might be hot issues but Satan has created the trouble to damn people

    WE ARE NOT IGNORANT OF SATAN’S DEVICES OR SCHEMES – PART 9 We continue researching the various schemes Satan uses to ensnare, deceive and ruin humanity. The bible says we are not ignorant of Satan’s schemes (devices). We need to recognise them in order to combat them. I have attempted to ...read more

     | 28,864 views

    Did you realize that God has a prescription for dealing with guilt and shame. And that this prescription works for both Christians and non-Christians. What could even non-Christians possibly do to resolve their guilt in sin?

    Chaos In Chaotic Times – This Is Our World Now Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 17, 2022
     | 2,759 views

    The minds of politicians generally, and of public/civil servants and advisors, are so scarred by God-rejection, and humanism, and demonic influence, that they are incapable of knowing the mind of God in decency, honesty and moral effectiveness in decision making. Chaos is here.

    CHAOS IN CHAOTIC TIMES – THIS IS OUR WORLD NOW There is a hymn that I hope is still sung despite all the inferior stuff that today passes as church music, and here is the first stanza – God, whose almighty word CHAOS and darkness heard, And took their flight: Hear us, we humbly pray, And where ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 26, 2022
     | 1,639 views

    References to "The Day of the LORD" continue as we look into the Old Testament prophets (Isaiah here). We will see great fear, judgment, scorched men, Israel saved - a remnant, and God's compassion on Israel. God will refine His people. God is compassion.

    THE “DAY OF THE LORD” STUDY IN THE SCRIPTURES – ADDITIONAL REFERENCES PART 7 - ISAIAH The DAY OF THE LORD is “The Day of Jehovah” and its usage is always associated with something dire, with judgement, and with events outside the implementation of man. In other words, it is the intervention of ...read more
