What Do You Want From Jesus

Contributed by Rick Gillespie- Mobley on Jul 15, 2019

If Jesus were to ask you, why are you following him, how would you respond. This message looks at the two thieves who were crucified with Christ, and what they wanted from him.

What Do You Want From Jesus? Proverbs 9:10-12 Luke 23:32-43 Have you ever tried to use deception to get what you wanted. You told someone something good about themselves, because you had plans for later. It could have been a statement, “Mommy I Love You, You’re the best Mom in the ...read more

Do You Know What Kind Of Power You're Sitting On? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 14, 2020

Paul said he prayed for the Ephesians that they would "know... what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us." Why would Paul bother to pray that they'd KNOW such a thing, and why would it matter if we knew this power?

OPEN: The first church I served was in a quaint resort town called Hamilton, IN. It was a nice little town. A peaceful and quiet community. Well, except for that one time when the State police sent several officers as well as (pause) a bomb squad to the home of one of the residents there. It seems ...read more

God Saves Jonah, Nineveh, And Us.

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 29, 2020

The story of Jonah tells the story of God rescuing Jonah, not FROM a whale, but BY a whale. It tells of God reaching out to one of the cruellest people in history, the Assyrians. And it prefigures the story of God reaching out to us, through Christ.

GOD SAVES JONAH, NINEVEH, AND US We’re in a series ‘Bible Stories for Grown-Ups.’ Today, we’re looking at the story of Jonah. I’m going to assume most of us are fairly familiar with the story of Jonah and not spend time revisiting it. I’m going to look at the story under three headings: the ...read more

What Happens When The Church Prays! Prayer Invites Divine Intervention Series

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on May 26, 2023

One of the most amazing privileges of believers is access to God through prayer. We all face trials and tribulations but praying will help us overcome. Why? Because a praying saint can lay down in trouble and wake up to a miracle. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

Subject - Effective Fervent Prayer Invites Divine Intervention Scripture - Acts 12:5-11 “So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him. 6 The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries ...read more

Acts Of The Apostles (4 Of 39)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

I would remind you again, that Luke is writing to his good friend, Theophilus. He is reporting on the activities of Christ's apostles.

We can probably safely assume that Peter must have made a big impression on Luke, because in chapter two he recorded Peter's first message, and in chapter three he records Peter's second message. In Acts chapter three, we see three things we want to consider, such as: I. THEIR ...read more

Fifth And Sixth Cities Of Refuge Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 1, 2022

If we observe people these days a majority live as though they are going to live in this world forever. There is no fear of God, no thought about God’s judgement, and a majority live as though their lives on earth is permanent.

For today’s meditation we will look at Matthew 13:10-11, “The disciples asked him, "Why do you use stories as illustrations when you speak to people?" Jesus answered, "Knowledge about the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you. But it has not been given to the ...read more

"He Showed Himself Alive …” 1 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

The resurrection of Christ is the most important topic of the Bible. It is not one of the most important, but THE MOST IMPORTANT topic of the Bible.

The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the crowning proof of Christianity. Everything else that was said or done by Christ and the Apostles is secondary in importance to the resurrection. That is: • If the resurrection DID NOT take place, then Christianity is a false religion. • ...read more
