     | 5,107 views

    In spite of the sinful deeds and intentions of a few who claim a 'relationship' with God, and who 'work' within the auspices of some Christian denominations, the Lord Jesus has NOT abandoned the true ethos of the Church, nor the TRUE CHURCH itself.

    WHY WE EXIST (The Church’s Mission Statement) (Matt. 16:17-18; NKJV) – “…Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. [18] And, I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My ...read more

    This sermon outlines the need that every person has for a Savior. We can never reach Heaven on our own. We can only get there through Jesus Christ.

    I. By nature human beings are rebellious against God. Adam and Eve introduced sin into the world (Genesis 3:1-15) (Genesis 3:1-15) Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made.

    Jesus died to fulfill the covenant God made with Abraham.

    2nd Sunday of Lent 2009 What Hath God Wrought? Let’s get the question the disciples asked out of the way first: what does rising from the dead mean? It means you first have to be dead.

    Why did Jesus have to die? If God is a God of love why would he ever let his own son die such a horrible death? Some critics say that the crucifixion is nothing more than a romantic story of a man who was going through an identity crisis. What do you beli

    I have never been able to entirely shake this story out of my head. There once was a man who worked in a small town as the operator of a drawbridge on a river.

    I must confess that there is something else that I don’t understand – why there seems to be such hatred in this world against anything that is considered to be Christian.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK A. There is a beautiful old hymn that begins with these words: “Love sent my Savior to die in my stead. Why should He love me so?" And ends by asking, "Why should my Savior to Calvary go? Why should He love me so?” How would you ...read more

    Consequences Of Forsaking The Lord

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Oct 11, 2025
     | 242 views

    All members of society suffer from the evils all around us. Why does God allow suffering and persecution to the righteous? Consequences for evil doings must be endured. Spiritual Blindness and Spiritual Adultery against God are some of the causes.

    Evils come upon everyone. Some believe it is a part of life. Leaders speak of these evil behaviors as nothing to be alarmed over. Murders and other vicious crimes happen daily. Many more occur at different times compared to others; perhaps more are occurring here recently. 2 Timothy 3:13. 13 But ...read more
