Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 26, 2022

Judgement was about to open the door and come through. The Day of the LORD is about to fall and who pays the slightest attention? We should be warning them in our preaching. It is one thing to preach gospel stories, but preach what is coming on the earth warning men and women.

On The Way To The Crucifixion Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Apr 3, 2023

On the way to the cross the women of Jerusalem weep over His alarming & appalling judgment. Jesus advises them to turn their anguish for Him into mourning for themselves. Such sever rejection of the beloved Son of God puts an individual or society on a course that brings its own judgment.

Paul Addressing The Ephesian Elders Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 3, 2022

Paul is ready to pass the baton of leadership to the elders of Ephesus. Paul mentioned he had invested three years at Ephesus. Paul was handing off full responsibility to elders with very little experience. He did need to send Tychicus and then Timothy later to help the elders.

He already spent two years at the hall of Tyrannus in Ephesus. He mentions that in total he poured into the elders for three years (Acts 20:31). This exit ...read more

Trouble In The King's Household Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 3, 2004

As great a king as David was, he was still a human king with all the flaws of any human being. It would take the coming of Jesus before we had a king who truly reflected God’s heart in all he did; whose leadership would fully reflect God’s character.

What we’re looking at today is not pretty. Incest, rape, murder, political intrigue leading to a coup d’état, David running for his life. And again we wonder what to make of it all. Why is it in here? Well, there are a couple of reasons it’s in here. One is to show how quickly God’s judgement on ...read more
