    Hatred And The Outworking Of Love.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 26, 2024
     | 44 views

    Recalling Jesus' commandment to love one another.

    HATRED AND THE OUTWORKING OF LOVE. 1 John 3:13-24. “Marvel not” – stop wondering – that the world of the ungodly hates you (1 JOHN 3:13). Abel’s righteousness stood as a rebuke to Cain, and Cain killed him for it (cf. 1 John 3:12). The ones who ‘abide in death’ (1 JOHN 3:14) are identified as ...read more

    Seeking Jesus Away From The Glare Of Others: Nicodemus And Jesus

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on May 25, 2024
     | 167 views

    Nicodemus comes to Jesus under the cloak of evening to ask some very important questions that lead to life. His questions mirror many of our own .

    Today’s passage is a remarkable dialogue between our Lord Jesus and a key leader among the religious higher-ups, who, generally speaking, were very hostile to Jesus. Nicodemus had a different response though to Jesus, he had a different spirit about him. He took his role of spiritual leadership ...read more

    Father's Deep Love

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 25, 2024
     | 36 views

    In this story, Jesus leaves the ending open. There was still time for the self-righteous to repent as well. There is still time for you. Have you drifted far from God?

    Opening illustration: Play the video “Daddy’s Love.” Introduction: On this ''Father's Day'' we will take an in-depth look at the genuine love of God, which is depicted in the love of the prodigal's earthly father. The sinfulness of the son was great, but the graciousness of ...read more

     | 89 views

    “What the Church needs today is not more machinery or better, not new organizations or more novel methods, but men whom the Holy Ghost can use—men of prayer, men mighty in prayer” (E.M. Bounds).

    Opening illustration: “What the Church needs today is not more machinery or better, not new organizations or more novel methods, but men whom the Holy Ghost can use—men of prayer, men mighty in prayer” (E.M. Bounds). The church is going in the wrong direction. It only needs the Holy Spirit, and ...read more

    Cost Of Freedom 2 Series

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 24, 2024
     | 35 views

    For some that means accepting Christ as your Lord and Savior so you might be set free from the penalty and presence of sin, and then learn how to live each day free from sin's power.

    Opening illustration: You ever watch those shows about these submarines that go down 2 and a half miles to the wreck of the Titanic? That’s one thing that I think I could never do. To be crammed into a machine not much bigger than a telephone booth with 2 other guys, 2 miles below the surface of ...read more

    Cost Of Freedom 1 Series

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 24, 2024
     | 149 views

    Cost of any freedom has never been cheap. For our freedom, Christ died and shed His blood as a ransom for our sins. If the cost was not paid by His blood, we would only be redeemed temporarily and would continue to live as slaves like the folks of the OT.

    Opening illustration: With the dismantling of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the subsequent lifting of the iron curtain, Eastern Europeans jubilantly celebrated the freedom they had long been denied. However, some of the first “freedoms” to be exercised in these formerly communist countries were ...read more

    Humility Of Christ

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 24, 2024
     | 43 views

    In our text we see the Lord Jesus loving men who did not deserve it. Luke (22:24) tells us that at the Lord’s Supper, just after Jesus announced that one of them would betray Him, the disciples got into a dispute about which of them was the greatest.

    Opening illustration: We all can relate to Linus in the “Peanuts” cartoon strip when he shouts in frustration, “I love mankind; it’s people I can’t stand!” It’s easy to love the human race in the abstract, but when it comes to loving specific irritating people that I can’t avoid, the process ...read more

    Set The Captives Free

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 24, 2024
     | 157 views

    Jesus came to set the captives free from every form of captivity imaginable, so why are we not free? In order to experience freedom from captivity, we must receive the free gift that Jesus has given us.

    Opening illustration: In the hours after the attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan, the White House was in turmoil. The President's precise condition was not yet fully known. The Vice President was on a plane over Texas, and the press wanted answers. In the line of succession to ...read more

    Jacob: A Captive On The Run

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 24, 2024
     | 30 views

    We have become captives to situations and occurrences in our lives. Because of the failure of others and yourself in life, anxieties are skyrocketing, and you become a stronger captive to these situations.

    Opening illustration: Illustration of Sadhu Sundar Singh and how he was a captive till he came to Jesus dramatically. His life did a complete 180. Illustration of Saul who was a persecutor of Christians and a captive to the system and world changes. Introduction: In Genesis 32 we see Jacob as a ...read more

     | 138 views

    As we reflect on the profound significance of this day, may we also find parallels with the ultimate sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ and draw inspiration from the values of courage, commitment, and selflessness exemplified by our fallen heroes.

    OPENING ILLUSTRATION: Play the video “Memorial Day Thanks.” INTRODUCTION: As we gather today on this Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who have selflessly sacrificed their lives in service to our country. It is a day of solemn remembrance, a time to pay tribute ...read more

    Marriage, Divorce, And Celibacy.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 42 views

    "From the beginning it was not so." Matthew 19:8.

    MARRIAGE, DIVORCE, AND CELIBACY. Matthew 19:1-12. The Pharisees’ question about divorce was cynical in that it, like many of their questions addressed to Jesus, was asked with the intention of “tempting” Jesus into saying something that would cause offence (MATTHEW 19:3). I assert this on two ...read more

     | 182 views

    If you have ever felt that you had no value based on the statements of others then you need to read this message. As a child of the Most High God, you are extremely valuable to Him!

    You Are Valued Scripture: Luke 12:6-7, Proverbs 27:21; Romans 8:2 Good morning Strangers Rest. The title of my message this morning is “You Are Valued.” Now I recognize that there is no great new revelation captioned in that title, but God wants us to know this morning we are worth something ...read more
