What’s the Truth on the Birth of Jesus Christ?

December 17, 2022

To learn the real story of the birth of Jesus Christ, we have to start with the record of the birth, ministry and death of His relative, John the Baptist. How does that “set the story straight” and help us see the errors in Christmas celebrations in our world?

We’re familiar with Christ’s admonition to His disciples. They were told they had to be like little children in order to be in His Kingdom. What did He mean?

Can You Imagine That?

September 24, 2022

Split-Sermon The Bible records God’s intervention for His people multiple times, in ways they couldn’t possibly have imagined in advance. Although we know troubling times will come before Christ’s return, we should be willing to stand back and see how God works things out for His people … in ways we couldn’t imagine!

Jacob's Trouble

Given by Bill Johnson
September 24, 2022

Split-Sermon While all the nations of Israel will experience the tribulation of “Jacob’s trouble,” Genesis 48:16 reveals that Jacob explicitly placed his name on Ephraim and Manasseh. Hence their descendants (primarily the United States and Great Britain) will bear the brunt of this difficult time. Even though the people of the United States are prophesied to suffer greatly for their sins ...

The “Stockdale Paradox” deals with facing challenging human situations, while still retaining faith that we can prevail in the end regardless of the difficulties in front of us. When we face painful hurdles and harsh realities, how can we maintain a clear vision on the promise of eternal life He gives?

1:07:29 John 6:44 & “The Esau Syndrome”

John 6:44 & “The Esau Syndrome”

Given by Doug Johnson
August 13, 2022

Why did God choose to fulfill the promises to Abraham through one grandson (Jacob) in preference to the other (Esau)? Being twins, we’d expect “sameness!” Since Esau was the firstborn, based on the culture of the day, he would seem to have been the “front-runner” for the blessing path. But God chose Jacob! Why? The answer has everything to do with J...

Could You Have Spiritual Blind Spots?

Given by Doug Johnson
August 6, 2022

The human eye is amazingly complex in structure and function. But even this astonishing creation of God, being physical, has its limitations. There’s an analogy in that for us in spiritual terms.
