Frail Frames Forecast Future Fixedness

Contributed by Mack Armstrong on Jul 28, 2008

David was so true when he said that we are made of dust; likewise, he was true when he said that God is aware of our earthly/dust made bodies. God, in His wisdom has made it possible that once we lay down our dust made bodies, we can inherit a new body.

PSALMS 103:14 FRAIL FRAMES FORECAST FUTURE FIXEDNESS I. FRAME: A. Finite. B. Frail. C. Fleeting. II. FACTS: A. Full. B. Formative. C. Failings. III. FUTURE: A. Freedom. B. Fellowship. C. Fixedness. The mystery of the human body is still just that: a mystery. Although doctors, ...read more

Thank God For The Broken Road

Contributed by Darrin Fish on May 7, 2014

A mistake is only a mistake if we don’t learn from it. We need to start allowing stumbling blocks to become stepping stones.• We should never fall backwards We should instead fall forward. We grow in our wisdom when we allow mistakes to become lessons.

Thank you God for the Broken Road Psalms 73:1-73:28 Last week as we were worshipping • a man entered a Baptist church in Maryville Il • And shot the senior pastor in mid-sermon and then stabbing two churchgoers. • The pastor had stood on an elevated platform delivering his ...read more

Job 3

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Sep 16, 2019

Job had kept his hurt within himself because there was no one else with which to share it, but when three of his friends came to him, he finally began to vent. Chapter 3 shows us that when we are unable to understand God's reasons, we must still trust in His wisdom.

We have been talking about the book of JOB, which some scholars believe to be the oldest book of the bible, and written by Moses as he wandered the deserts. So far, in chapters 1 and 2, we see where Satan got permission from God to attack Job. The only stipulation was that Satan would not cause ...read more

Darkness To Light Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Oct 21, 2023

If you want to move from darkness into light, just walk in the light of the cross, walk in the light of Christ, and walk in the light of His commands.

Several years ago (1995), a middle-aged man robbed two Pittsburgh banks in broad daylight. He didn’t wear a mask or any sort of disguise. And he smiled at surveillance cameras before walking out of each bank. Later that night, police arrested a surprised McArthur Wheeler. When they showed him the ...read more

The Puzzle Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 25, 2018

The story in Acts 8, that tells of Philip's preaching in Samaria resulting in an Evangelism Explosion, contains 3 puzzles that many folks overlook. What are these puzzles and what can they teach us about our walk with Christ?

OPEN: People have created puzzles for centuries. There’ve been crossword puzzles, jigsaw puzzles, Rubik's cube, and scads of others in all shapes and sizes.

The Tale Of Two Crosses Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 4, 2018

A church in Texas is planning to build the largest cross in the Western Hemisphere. But Jesus didn't build His church this way. He built His church on a different kind of cross. Do you know what cross that was?

OPEN: Down in Corpus Christi Texas, a church broke ground about 2 years to build a huge cross – 150 feet tall. But, they do everything big down in Texas and once they’d broken ground they decided they hadn't dreamed big enough.

Selling Out To God Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 20, 2021

Jesus's Parable of Hidden Treasure teaches all-out commitment to the kingdom of God. Christianity is not a little add-on to our busy, selfish life. It is a call to something so valuable that we would give up everything else to have it.

Last week we began a message entitled “Valuing the Valuable.” That teaching led us to the Parable of the Treasure in Matthew 13:44. That is our text for today. There Jesus said, “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes ...read more

God's Formula For Success

Contributed by Darrin Fish on May 7, 2014

When we try to live without consulting God’s word, It’s a deliberate, voluntary ignorance. But this ignorance won’t stop us from suffering the consequences for being stupid. The wisdom we need is available.It’s about letting God’s word saturate our spirit.

There is a common desire inside everyone to want to succeed • Because we measure our worth on the basis of how successful we are. • How we measure that success is often based on a worldly standard rather than a godly standard. • Success by the world’s standard often means ...read more

Dealing With Doubt

Contributed by Derek Geldart on May 29, 2021

I am going to review 1 John 3:19-24 and suggest doubt can be removed by: 1) seeking the truth, 2) seeking God’s wisdom, 3) receiving what we ask for in prayer, 4) being able to obey God’s commands, and 5) in commune with the Holy Spirit living inside of us!

Chosen For Glory

Contributed by Larry Grant on Jul 24, 2022

Paul quotes Jeremiah 9:24, Thus says the Lord: "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom; Let not the mighty man glory in his might, nor let the rich man glory in his riches; But let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me, That I am the Lord"

Paul’s begins this letter to the Corinthians with a call to the holy, the sanctified in Christ Jesus (1:1–3) and expresses his thanks for the strengths they exhibit (vv. 4–9). But the apostle quickly turns to the first of a series of serious problems that keeps the church from reaching its ...read more

Message In 1peter – Number 3 – Deviation From Sanctification – 1peter 3:15-16 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 9, 2023

Even the smallest deviation will cause us to miss the mark. We are to sanctify Christ as Lord in our hearts because God is holy. We must be holy as well. Do we know the bible well enough so that we can give an answer to all who ask about the hope that we have? Ours is a glorious hope.

Dealing Wisely With Unbelief & Opposition Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 10, 2021

If we stand for Jesus, we will inevitably face the same kind of opposition that He did. How do we respond? His example gives us a clue as he faces both the unbelief of his own family, and the deadly opposition of israel's leaders.
