"Good Tidings Of Great Joy!” Series

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Dec 5, 2022

After the return of Christ, all those who are a part of God’s kingdom will rejoice. They will be clothed with salvation, belong to God’s redeemed and living in harmony by God’s standard. It must have been simply marvelous for Isaiah to see what God had planned for Judah and Jerusalem.

Sermon – “Good Tidings of Great Joy!” Scripture: Isa 61:1 “The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor.

The Last Page Series

Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Nov 22, 2017

Jesus teaches us about the final judgment. This sermon uses the analogy of reading the last page of a book to explain the parable. It helps the hearer to see how this supports the doctrine of faith alone, and it encourages them to serve.

The first thing that I always do when I read a new book is to read the last few pages. Its something that I always do, and I can’t help it or stop it. I love reading the last scene and then reading the book to figure out what that last image portrayed means, or the reason and significance behind ...read more

Zechariah's Fourth Vision: Qualified For Service Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Nov 21, 2021

Christians must know the basis of their acceptance before God if they are to successfully defeat Satan and his tactic of accusation. In this vision, we are given a beautiful picture of the grace of God removing our filthy garments of sin and clothing us with his Robe of Righteousness.

Today we will begin examining Zechariah’s fourth vision recorded in chapter 3. The vision can be divided into two-parts: I. Verses 1-5 is a revelation of God’s way of qualifying his people for relationship with him and for service to him. II. Verses 7-10 contains an admonition to faithfulness ...read more

"Seek Righteousness…seek Humility”

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Feb 27, 2023

Sackcloth and ashes. Fasting and weeping. Tearing clothes and pulling out hair. Lying face down in the dirt. What does repentance look like for New Testament believers? The Prophet Zephaniah reminds of us what believers do when they are repentant.

Sackcloth and ashes. Fasting and weeping. Tearing clothes and pulling out hair. Lying face down in the dirt. Those are some powerful pictures of repentance, wouldn’t you agree? And what were Old Testament believers saying with these traditions? Wearing clothes made from rough ...read more

Spiritual Life Of King Josiah

Contributed by Samuel M on Dec 27, 2023

A priest did not weep, nor did a Levite weep, nor did a scribe weep, nor did the king's servant weep, but a tender-hearted king tore his clothing and wept when he heard the words of the law.

Thus it happened, when the king heard the words of the Law, that he tore his clothes. 20 Then the king commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Abdon the son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king, saying, 21 “Go, inquire of the LORD for me, and for those who are left ...read more

The Testimony Of The Shepherds Series

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Dec 17, 2022

A few miles outside of Bethlehem some shepherds had gathered their sheep together for the night. Luke tells us that just when everyone was settling down and getting warm around their fires the skies suddenly opened up. Suddenly, it was no longer a silent night.

Minding God's Business

Contributed by Philip Gill on Jan 13, 2003

We are called to go about the business given to us by God and while we may be challenged by the parable of the sheep and goats we should not be fearful, having faith that as we love our Lord, he even more deeply loves us.

Going about God’s Business "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. {32}All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, {33}and he ...read more

No Rest For The Weary When Lives Are At Stake Series

In The Presence Of The Lord - Sermon Ii: No Fear Series

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Oct 31, 2019

God is love personified and perfected. Perfect love casts out fear. The Son - mirror image of the Father - assures His flock with a "no fear" sense of security as does a shepherd his sheep.

IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD - SERMON II: NO FEAR The second jewel of truth is that, in the House of the Lord – in the eternal presence of the Lord God – there is NO FEAR. The second verse of the Psalm says this: “He makes me lie down in green pastures, ...read more

Today Salvation Has Come To This House

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Jul 9, 2017

Facing Death In Christ

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 11, 2021

Why do many Christians fear death? Of course the act itself can be horrifying (such as crucifixion ...). But many fear death no matter what the cause. Should this be normal for followers of Jesus? What do we see in the Bible? How does that compare to what we feel?
