Sermons on Where Did He Go:

Pray From Where You Are (1) Series

Contributed by Kent Kessler on May 12, 2007

Notice what Jesus DOESN’T tell them. Jesus never tells the disciples they have to change first. He never tells them to become more than what they are and that they need to change before they can approach God. You can pray to God from right where you are.

[ME] I grew up in church where the Pastor would call on people to pray during the service or to close the service. I distinctly remember one particular gentleman in our church, when he was called upon to close in prayer, my teenage friends and I would literally moan with the expectation of an ...read more

He’s All Around Me 2 Of 3

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 25, 2022

In a previous sermon, as we examined the God of this Bible, we discovered God’s Omniscience.

God knows all things. His knowledge is infinite (unlimited) where ours is very limited. Speaking of having limited knowledge, sometimes it is more noticeable in some folks. Illus: For example, a man says to God: • "God, why did you make a woman so beautiful?" God says: "So you ...read more

A Hidden Kingdom Series

Contributed by Scott Turansky on Jan 1, 2023

This is a kingdom where He's going to overthrow the power of sin in your life. This is a kingdom where He's going to come in and reign with peace in your heart. That's the kind of kingdom that Jesus is bringing in.

Imagine being a disciple, maybe Peter or Andrew or James or John, and the resurrection is taking place. Jesus ascended into heaven and you're kind of lying there on your bed sometimes, and you go, “Whoa, do you remember what He did then? Oh, now I remember why He did that.” Particularly while ...read more

Awaiting With Hope

Contributed by Rev Silvester David on Jul 1, 2025

We live in a multi-religious society where everyone will champion the course of what and who they belief in as God or the way of life. Christians must be fully aware what makes Christ and Christianity so different and significant comparing to all other religions and religious teachers or ‘gurus’.

What is the significant difference between Christianity and all other religions? 1. All other religions teaches ‘Work Salvation’ – you work towards attaining salvation. Muslims – must fulfill the 7 pillars of Islam; Hinduism – Karma (do good get good, do evil get evil); Buddism – Charity increases ...read more

How Did John The Baptist Prepare The Way For Jesus?

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Dec 13, 2015

John the Baptism was anointed to prepare the way for Jesus, but how did he do that? It certainly was not obvious, and not how most people thought. This sermon will get a reaction.

Contributed by Daniel Habben on Oct 23, 2016

God Almighty can keep the promises he makes! Trust him.

The last time I shopped for a baseball glove, it took me all summer to find what I wanted. Why? Because I wanted a particular brand, a Mizuno, which is made in Japan.

Trusting God As We Go

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 19, 2022

The work of Jesus is more powerful than our questions and our doubts. Jesus is for us. We can trust that He is with us, bringing us to the Father, no matter what situation we might face.

I want to talk about trusting God today. Trusting Jesus. You have heard me preach this topic many times. But there comes a time in all of our lives when we truly question our trust in God. More than likely it has happened to every person in this room. Maybe it was a child of yours who ended up ...read more

Where Should We As A Nation Put Our Trust?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 2, 2022

When a man is lost in the desert, he may experience a mirage. That is, he may look out over the sands, and in the distance see what appears to be a lake, shimmering in the sun.

His goal is to get to the lake and obtain water to satisfy his thirst. As he travels toward the “lake”, the lake seems to maintain it’s distance, or at some point just disappears. IT WAS A MIRAGE! Such an experience only brings disappointment and tragedy to the individual who believes the mirage is ...read more

He’s All Around Me 3 Of 3

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 25, 2022

We have been looking at some of the things the Bible teaches about the wonderful God we serve.

There are some folks who speak of Him as the “Man upstairs”. Any time you hear someone refer to Almighty God like this, it is safe to assume they do not know the first thing about God. God is not a MAN and he does not have human attributes like mankind with limitations. WHAT KIND OF GOD IS HE? ...read more

Before He Walked On Water He Walked Into Water

Contributed by Daniel Habben on Jan 8, 2012

Making Sense of Jesus' Baptism

Of all the miracles Jesus performed, one I’d really love to see replayed is his walking on water over a windswept sea. You’d click on that video if it came up on YouTube wouldn’t you? And what do you suppose you would see? Jesus clearing white-capped waves like an Olympian ...read more

Let’s Go Fishing

Commissioned To Make Disciples

Contributed by Peter Johnstone on Jun 24, 2011

Jesus calls his disciples onto a hill where he commissions them to go into the world.

Matthew records the final appearance of Jesus on a mountain. We don’t know which mountain it is but we know that he had invited his disciples to meet him there.
