The Blessing Of Embracing The Truth

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jul 8, 2021

Winston Churchill once said, “Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.” But how we respond to truth determines the direction of our lives. It will determine the quality of our lives and the destiny of our eternal soul.

We have experienced the first miracle of Jesus at Cana of Galilee, where water was turned into wine, then we moved to the first ministry of Jesus at Jerusalem. Jesus was interviewed by Nicodemus concerning Who he really was. Nicodemus represented the ...read more

People carry deep longings in their hearts. Only Jesus can fill those longings. We must tell longing people about Jesus.

Here is this woman. She shows up at the village well at the sixth hour. That’s noon, the hottest part of the day. The other women came that morning, when it was cooler. But she couldn’t come then. She didn’t want to see them. Really, she didn’t want them to see her. It would be too painful. Why? ...read more

If You Knew The Gift Of God

Contributed by John Gaston on May 4, 2022

We’re looking at a woman who encountered Jesus unexpectedly. At first she thought He was just another Jew, but before long she found herself face to face with God. He offered her the answer to her heart's greatest need -- God's inner presence.

Jesus Christ: The Great Evangelist, Part 1

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 6, 2022

In the fourth chapter of John's Gospel, the Lord Jesus is presented as the Great Evangelist. From the time He won Nathaniel (John 1:48-51) to the thief on the cross (Luke 23:39-43), He was busy bringing sinners to Himself.

In Chapter 4 of his Gospel, John has us turn our attention to the Lord Jesus as the Master Soul-Winner and our example for sharing the good news of salvation to everyone regardless of background, culture, nationality, or any circumstance. No one is exempt from hearing and receiving the message ...read more

Jesus' Water Is That Good (John 4:1-15) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 15, 2022

Jesus is greater than Jacob; his water is also better. It gives joy, and an abundant life, and leads to knowing Jesus and his Father (John 17:3).

Let's start this morning by simply rereading 4:1-3. These three verses mark a transition in John to a new story: (4:1) Then, when Jesus knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus, many more disciples he is making and baptizing than John-- although Jesus himself was not baptizing, ...read more

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 20, 2022

If they are, we need to be far more bold, in intentional, about pointing people to Jesus. Bonus discussion of how Greek imperfect verbs work.

Today's message was a little short, so I'm going to try to cheat a little at the start, and explain something that may open up the Bible to you in really unexpected ways. And then, I'll try to show you a little how it works, and how cool this is, as I go through today's passage. ...read more

Come And Experience His Welcome

Contributed by John Dobbs on Jan 28, 2022

If Jesus is powerful, passionate, and loving but not welcoming, then we are left helpless! Maybe no story in the NT expresses His welcome more than the one for today: The Samaritan Woman at the Well.

Three Ways To Worship

Contributed by James Wallace on Sep 8, 2021

Thirsty souls, looking for something more in life, are all around us. And we have the water they seek? Here's how we can make a difference for them and for eternity!

One of the questions I ask, and even ask now, as I near the end of my life, is “So what? So what? In other words, what difference did my life make, for good or for ill? I suspect I’m not alone in asking these questions. I think one of our greatest needs in life is for meaning, for significance, ...read more

"Breaking Down The Walls" Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 22, 2015

Place is not a barrier to worship. Place is irrelevant. We do not worship a place. We worship in spirit. This is not referring to the Holy Spirit; this refers to the heart. We must worship with the heart.

The Best Gift

Contributed by Brian Undlin on Dec 24, 2015

A paraphrasing of Jesus & the woman at the well. I used it as a Christmas Eve story explaining the real gift.

We all know the Christmas story and the reason we give gifts at Christmas is because of Jesus coming AS God’s GIFT to us but there’s only one Bible story where Jesus himself describes this gift he brought us and he actually uses the word gift. The story begins with Jesus sitting alone ...read more
