Joseph Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 20, 2022

Joseph, son of Jacob and Rachel, lived in the land of Canaan with ten half-brothers, one full brother, and at least one half-sister. He was Rachel's firstborn and Jacob's eleventh son. Of all the sons, Joseph was preferred by his father, who gave him a "long coat of many colors."

Joseph is an important figure in the Bible's Book of Genesis. He was the first of the two sons of Jacob and Rachel (Jacob's twelfth child and eleventh son).

God Demands Complete Obedience

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 21, 2021

God has given us different talents because God has different jobs for each of us to do.

Most of us understand that, but what many do not seem to understand is what God has called them to do and equipped them to do, HE EXPECTS THEM TO DO! Our desire should be as Christ's. He said in John 4:34, "...My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work." ...read more

Expect The Unexpected Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 25, 2021

There is no such thing as a hopeless case. The lease likely people in this world can become children of God, and can become leaders in the kingdom, as did this Samaritan sinner.

The unexpected is the source of so much of the joy of life. Our three year old granddaughter, Jennifer, was praying at the table a couple of weeks ago. I noticed she was going faster than usual, and she came to the end saying, "In Jesus name, amen." Then she shouted, "I win." ...read more

Truth And Consequences Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jun 26, 2023

John the Baptizer experienced severe consequences for standing for God's truth. In this interlude in Mark's Gospel we learn the lesson that discipleship is costly and we learn about people's different reactions to the truth.

A. How many of you remember the show “Truth or Consequences”? 1. Anyone who remembers the show is either old or is a radio and TV history buff. 2. “Truth or Consequences” was a long-running wild and wacky game show. 3. It was on the radio from 1940 to 1957 and was on TV from 1950 to ...read more

From Despair To Delight

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Aug 10, 2023

Watching television can be entertaining, but at the same time it can be very disconcerting to see what they do on a television program.

Illus: For example, John Wayne on his horse rides into a town that is filled with all kinds of major problems, and in a couple of hours he will clean that town up and make it a safe and decent place to live. The reason it is upsetting to watch such movies is because we find ourselves with major ...read more

The Day Of Pentecost - The Baptism Of The Holy Spirit At The Moment Of Salvation

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Apr 15, 2021

There are significant denominational distinctives about what happened on the Day of Pentecost, which has polarized the body of Christ. This message is intended to find common ground from the Scriptures for those on every side of the isle.

“When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them ...read more

BOUNCING BACK (part two) There are many personal stories of people who bounced back from a bad situation. We're bouncing back from the pandemic with vaccinations and loosening COVID restrictions.

This king's experience of evil coming in the face of determined good effort and obedience mirrors the experience of devout men and women of every age and teaches us to believe in the constant working of Divine Providence, even in difficult circumstances.

The Woman Caught In Adultery

Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 3, 2024

And while it wasn’t fair to bring only her and not the man. It certainly isn’t fair to Jesus. After all, He was the only one there who was without sin. He had every right to stone us all.

We invite all believers to come forward to take the Lord’s Supper with us in just a few minutes. Today, we look at one of the most beloved stories in Jesus’ ministry. It’s known as The Woman Caught in Adultery. It’s one of the most dramatic pictures of grace in the Bible. People love this story. ...read more
