    A rock and roll band called “The Beatles,” came to America during the early 60’s. I could never understand why, but they became famous around the world. I love good spiritual and secular music, but I have never cared for people screaming through a microphone. They call it music but I call it ...read more

     | 829 views

    Remember that it’s teamwork that makes the dream work! WHICH PLAN ARE YOU ON? WHICH TEAM ARE YOU ON?

    Opening illustration: Do you read other people’s letters? Most of the Bible are letters written to people, nations or a community.

    LIVING IN A DIVERSE CULTURE – PART 1 Text: Acts 17:16-21 Introduction 1. A conversation I had recently with someone in the church struck me as very profound.

    Unstrained Mercy Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 1,099 views

    None of us can forgive the wrongs done to someone else. We can, however, show mercy to anyone who is suffering - whether forgiveness is involved or not.

    Every week it seems like there’s another new disaster. The 10 plagues that Moses visited on Egypt to convince Pharoah to free the Israelites almost pale in comparison. Talk about plagues? We hoped that 2021 would see the end of Covic19 but noooooo. And as if that weren’t enough, an earthquake ...read more

     | 2,679 views

    We’re look at NINE SIGNS OF THE SOON COMING OF JESUS that have never happened before. These are signs that, if we’re not braindead, ought to be like flashing lights or sirens wailing – warning us to “all-hands-on-deck” readiness for the Second Coming.

    WAKE UP! JESUS IS COMING! Rom. 13:11-14 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. I heard about these two men, Archie & Jack, who’d debated their whole lives whether Jesus was white or whether He was black. Archie was sure He was white and Jack was sure He was black. 2. As fate would have it, they died ...read more

    The Book Of Lamentations – Part 38 – We Look At The Beginning Of Complaints – Inheritance Has Been Lost - Chapter 5:1-2 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 24, 2025
     | 253 views

    Pleading with God to remember, is what Jeremiah fell back to, and this persevering prayer is examined. Reproach overtook the people as they lost everything and were despised. Today we see the same in so many African nations where believers suffer for Christ. A touching message.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 38 – WE LOOK AT THE BEGINNING OF COMPLAINTS – INHERITANCE HAS BEEN LOST - CHAPTER 5:1-2 Chapter 4 has ended and we saw some absolutely horrible things that were happening because the people were downtrodden by Babylon and persecuted by the Edomites.

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 6, 2025
     | 393 views

    We look at what worthless persons do; what the Lord hates, and the system in the world including injustice. False prophets are considered – they are always around. The sovereign God dispenses good and ill, that is, eternal life and eternal death. Good and ill proceed from God in heaven.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 21 – WHAT THE LORD HATES AND GOD’S SOVEREIGNTY IN DECLARING GOOD OR EVIL - CHAPTER 3:33-38 INTRODUCTION FROM LAST TIME Last time we looked at the LORD causing grief but then applying compassion.

    We serve a God who is so generous and always provides more than we deserve.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: The story is told that one day a beggar by the roadside asked for alms from Alexander the Great as he passed by. The man was poor and wretched and had no claim upon the ruler, no right even to lift a solicitous hand. Yet the Emperor threw him several gold coins. A ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,117 views

    We are not to be ignorant to the truth about holy and unholy lifestyles. God will judge sin as He did in the Old Testament and He will hold us responsible for the way we act as Christians. Christians are to glorify God in everything that they do!

    “Don’t be Ignorant” 1 Cor. pt. 10 Opening Illustration: From Wingclips.com “Get Smart” Swordfish scene where he talks of being alert but ignorantly keeps running into things with the car he is driving.
