    To establish that the Ethiopian’s conversion follows the New Testament’s “pattern of conversions” outlined in the Book of Acts. This lesson speaks to the divine hand of God in conversion and illustrates the two components of the “new birth” in real-time.

    Why I Don't Have A "Vision" Or "5 Year Plan" For Our Church

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jun 13, 2018
     | 4,806 views

    This is an abbreviated sermon used after my annual pastor's report to the congregation explaining why we do not have a written "business plan" for church growth. Instead it lays out the 3 foundational steps the Lord has put in my heart as I serve here.

    If you would, please stand as we say together our memory Scripture for this quarter: Romans 12:4-5 “Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” ...read more

    Faith Only? Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 25, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,489 views

    Faith is so central to our salvation that there are those who believe believing is the ONLY thing we need to do to be saved. But is that true, and where did that idea come from?

    In my files I have a comment of an economics professor who explained his problem with Jesus. He said, “I really don’t see how Jesus can be the only way to heaven. I definitely believe in God, but there are just too many people in the world who don’t believe in Jesus for me to think that God ...read more

    27. The Kingdom Parables – The Seventh – The Dragnet – Part 3 Of 6 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 19, 2025
     | 101 views

    In the Dragnet parable, we see how it related to the seventh city of the seven churches John wrote to. That was Laodicea. We take a look at the background for Laodicea, and then we begin to look into the letter that was sent to the church in Revelation 3. This is the lukewarm church.

    27. THE KINGDOM PARABLES – THE SEVENTH – THE DRAGNET – PART 3 OF 6 THE DRAGNET - LAODICEA BACKGROUND AND LETTER In every Parable of the Kingdom, we have seen that each Parable remarkably fitted the church from Revelation chapters 2 and 3 that matched that Parable. I will not revise the ...read more

    Can You See This Sign? Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 2, 2017
    based on 10 ratings
     | 26,880 views

    The blind saw Jesus, but the Pharisees couldn't. What were the differences in their blindnesses and what can we learn from the man born blind?

    (Before reading the text and opening with prayer, we sang the following chorus: “I saw the light, I saw the light No more darkness, no more night Now I’m so happy, no sorrow in sight For praise the Lord… I saw the light.”) OPEN: When I’m preparing for a sermon, a lot of times I’ll take little ...read more

    Getting To Know God - Part 3 - The God Who Provides Series

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Oct 1, 2019
     | 4,047 views

    We see God's provision in our lives. As a rule, we Americans do not understand our wealth if we have never been to an underdeveloped country. Even those at the poverty level would be rich in many lands. Has God given us these riches so we can provide for them?

    Getting To Know God - Part 3 - Jehovah-Jireh - The God Who Provides Please stand as we read our newest memory Scripture together … John 14:23-24 “Jesus said, ‘If anyone loves Me, he will obey My teaching. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make our home with him. “He who does ...read more

    I Was Bitter, But Now I’m Better

    Contributed by Dr. Jwt Spies on Sep 30, 2025
     | 1,196 views

    Isn’t it something that one of the most honored women in history, the mother of Jesus, the Savior, the Christ, carried a name that meant bitter?

    Ruth 1:20-21 And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me. As I stand before you today, I want to lift up a thought that will stir your spirit: I Was Bitter but Now I’m Better. Touch your neighbor and say: “Neighbor, I’ve been through ...read more

    Don’t You Dare Even To Omit A Word, Any Denier Of The Truth! Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 5, 2024
     | 1,461 views

    We can not play games with God for the preaching of His inspired word is so essential, and we become deniers if we omit from our preaching that which we might not find pleasing to ourselves or others. Preaching must not omit a word as Jeremiah learned from the Lord. Be faithful.

    DON’T YOU DARE EVEN TO OMIT A WORD, ANY WHO WOULD DENY THE TRUTH! [1]. INTRODUCTION Some events in the Christian world cause me distress when I learn of them for there are too many practices that are downright dishonouring to God. Those of you who listen to me or read what I write will know I ...read more

    Let’s Go Fishing Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 7, 2013
    based on 137 ratings
     | 61,324 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

    The third of three sermons looking at how God used the gifts of the wise men to tell about Jesus and His life.

    Review: What do we know about the wise men? (little to nothing, just that they were from the east-Matt. 2:1) What was the first gift? (gold) What did the gold represent?

    This sermon follows the Feeding of the 5,000 (another strange story). It is a story that further reveals the true identity of Jesus as Messiah, Savior and LORD.

    Scripture: Mark 6:45-52; Isaiah 43:1-2 Theme: Ghost or Messiah? Sermon – This sermon is about Jesus revealing Himself to His Disciples as the Son of God/Messiah. INTRO: Grace and peace from God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Have you ever had a day that seemed like nothing went ...read more

    Lessons From Jeremiah – Part 22 – It Is Tragic When A Nation Finally Reaps The Sin It Has Sown – Sin Has Consequences Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 6, 2024
     | 771 views

    Numbed by the wickedness around, we can become ignorant of the hurting and suffering people in our world. Jerusalem was grossly corrupt and injustice thrived. The world must learn from this but it is not going so. Injustice and violence are everywhere. Wrath is coming.

    Last Second Salvation Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 2, 2003
    based on 24 ratings
     | 16,354 views

    “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.” The story of the thief receiving salvation is the most amazing example of saving faith in the entire Bible. It’s never too late to turn to Christ and even the worst of sinners can be saved at

    Last-second Salvation Last Sunday I mentioned that it’s much easier to preach about forgiveness than it is to practice it. This was made very clear to me right after the second service when I was talking to a 9-year-old boy. He had a scratch on his forehead and I asked him if he had gotten into a ...read more
