    8 Reasons Why People Leave The Church

    Are you surprised when you hear that a once faithful Christ follower has turned away from the faith and now doubts whether scripture is true or not? If you are like me, you wonder how this happens but then you remember this is nothing new. Apostasy appears throughout the bible.

    In Hebrews 6:4-5 the writer notes some will turn away from the gospel although they once tasted the good Word and received the Holy Spirit. Jesus knew we would be tempted to turn away from the truth but He reminds us to remain faithful to the end (end of our lives) if we want to receive the ...read more

    I would like to thank Pastor Rick Boyne for sharing this sermon from Acts. It has been a blessing as well as a great help, as I spend my days caring for my dying father.

    The Berean Church Shows Why I Need to Read My Bible Acts 17:10-12 A man was talking with a farmer about his soy bean and corn crops. Rain had been abundant, and the results were evident but the farmer’s next comment surprised him: "My crops are especially vulnerable. Even a short drought ...read more

    Why Christian Fail…or Do They?

    Do you ever wonder why many Christians don't seem so different from the world? There is a difference between true believers who follow after Jesus and Luke warm, name, only Christians who are just floating through this world, and using Christianity as a crutch.

    Matthew 7:21-23 (KJV-BRG) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and ...read more

    Why Did God Complain To His People?

    Micah depicts a court here. God's people are on trial where God is the judge and the people are told what is expected of them.

    The book of Micah was written to God’s people, the children of Israel in the Northern Kingdom, and of Judah in the Southern Kingdom. It was written to warn them of the coming judgment from God but to also for them to repent. Throughout the book of Micah, the need for peace and justice in ...read more

    Trinity Exposition: Why Should I Believe?

    Contributed by Don Aldrich Tamayo on Jun 25, 2023

     | 1,372 views

    Is God the Father the only “one God”—or is the Son, Jesus, God too? If so, do Christians worship more than one God? Is that not polytheism, as some suggest? Is God the Father superior to Jesus? Did Jesus come after the Father? Was there a time when the Father but not Jesus existed?

    Introduction: Let me start it with a humor, Why did the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit start a band? Because they had perfect harmony! Why did the Trinity go to the baseball game? Because they heard there would be a lot of "Son" shine! Let us Pray: Is God the Father the only “one ...read more

    Why The Bible Shows The Holy Spirit In Symbols? Series

    Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Jul 7, 2023
     | 1,289 views

    A symbol is like a picture that speaks volumes about things that words cannot describe.

    Sometimes people inadvertently deploy iconic expressions to cut short the necessity of employing so many words in tactful discussions. For example, people often say a picture is worth a thousand words. This expression immediately brings up the image that a picture can reveal more intimate details ...read more

    “Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name” (Ps. 103:1).

    A. WHY BEGIN PRAYER WITH PRAISE 1. Because Jesus instructed them to begin the Lord’s Prayer. “Hallowed be Your name” (Matt. 6:9). Other versions translate this to mean to honor His name, to reverence His name, to hold high His name. 2. Because the psalmist commands you, “Enter . . . His courts ...read more

    “He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, but whoever walks wisely will be delivered” (Proverbs 28:26 New King James Version).

    “He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, but whoever walks wisely will be delivered” (Proverbs 28:26 New King James Version).

    Why The Bible Uses Symbols? Second Part Series

    The Lord uses symbols in the Bible narratives as instruments to reveal certain truths about the Lord God.

    The Benefits of studying biblical symbols: I. First, symbols can help the saints with a better understanding of the nature and characteristics of the living God. II. Biblical symbols have the power of evoking thousands of words in a believer's mind. III. They allow the believer to see ...read more

    Why Are We Told Not To Love The Evil Of This World?

     | 732 views

    John was writing to all believers to urge them that they should obey Jesus and that they should love all believers.

    In this passage of scripture, John focuses his attention to three distinct groups of Christians. John addresses new Christians, more established Christians, and those in the middle, in a specific order. He then, in a similar fashion, converses with each once more, in a similar request. New ...read more

    As the world continues to get worse and worse, many question why God continues to allow evil and suffering to proliferate? Will, in this sermon we will address those questions

    Today we’re going to address a very important question. Why does God allow evil and suffering? We’re going to get a little deep and heavy as we address this question. So, stay with me!

    Discovering Your "why" For Life Series

    Worship is the centerpiece that governs everything in your life, my believing friends. A centerpiece is where the presence of one thing governs everything else related to your life spiritually. The Bible says every little piece of our lives is to honor the Lord.

    This morning, I want to talk to you about Discovering Your Why for Life. One day a man walks up to Jesus and says, “Lord, what’s the most important thing in the Bible?” Jesus replied this way: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 ...read more

    The Just Society And Why Judas Was Judged Harshly

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 9, 2022
     | 868 views

    Somehow it seems very strange to ask Judas about the virtue of justice.

    Monday of Holy Week I don’t understand why people these days feel like they have to defend Judas from the accusations that he was a thief and a jerk. He was a thief and a jerk. Today’s Gospel shows him accusing Jesus of sinning against the virtue of justice, by allowing an expensive ointment to ...read more

    The Why Of Easter (Romans5:1-11) Series

    Contributed by James Jackson on Apr 17, 2022
     | 2,669 views

    The Gospels tell us the "what" of Easter. Movies like "The Passion" tell us the "how." But in Romans 5, the Apostle Paul tells us the why.

    Happy Easter! He is Risen, He has risen indeed. If you have your Bibles, please turn to Romans 5. You might be a little surprised to be back in Romans, but a kind of weird thing happened. I went back to Romans this week because I wanted to get a jump on next week’s sermon, since I’m going to be ...read more
