If you have ever traveled down a street, road, or highway and you have come upon a sign directing you to detour and go down a side street to your destination, you know the frustration this can cause. People in church life sometimes get diverted and go off on side streets, rather than staying on the main road. They put major emphasis on minor matters. That's our subject for today, "Side Streets."…
The word "surrender" is not a popular word, by any means, whether it refers to an army, a prized possession, or even a cherished idea or belief. In "The Lord's Prayer" there is the phrase, "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done." This has overtones of our giving up something, or surrendering. Today we may find a surprising blessing when we surrender our desires to the Lord. Look with us in these next…
The term "forgive and forget" is a catchy slogan, but when it comes to putting it into practice, that is another matter. The subject of forgiveness is quite a difficult thing, especially when someone has experienced a serious offence from another person. Then along comes Jesus, who says that we should forgive "seventy times seven." How is that possible?" we may ask. That is today's subject, so…
The Gideons International is a group of people who are dedicated to placing copies of God's Word, the Bible, in hotels, businesses, offices, hospitals, and many other places where they are allowed to go. They believe, as many do, that when God's Word is "cast upon the waters," it will not return to Him void, as the scripture says. Today we will be looking at the fascinating story of how God's Word…
Have you ever gone to church and found yourself looking around at who else is there? The poet Robert Burns wrote a poem about this. He looked at the person sitting in front of him and saw a louse (plural of this word is "lice.") sitting on this person's collar. So he wrote a poem and gave it the title, "To a Louse." We don't know if the poet heard the sermon that day or not! Our subject this…
Have you ever been afraid? That probably is a foolish question, since most of us would have to admit that there have been times when we have really been afraid. The Bible always has a word of help to us in any situation in our lives when we have special needs, and surely God's Word can help us when we are afraid. Today we will look at two Bible verses: Psalm 56:3 and Isaiah 12:2, and see what God…

Does God know everything? Some people say that He does. What do you say? Today's sermon title may give you something to think about in this regard. Before you listen to the sermon, see if you can think of only one, or maybe more things that God does not know. Then join us as we hear about not only one, but FOUR THINGS GOD DOES NOT KNOW. For more information on the Campground, insider tips and…
Few questions stir more fear in the heart of a sincere believer than this one: "What if I have committed the unpardonable sin?" It is a question rooted in honest doubt, and one that has unsettled countless souls searching for assurance of their salvation. Today, we are going to look at it head on. What exactly is the unpardonable sin, and what does it mean for you? For more information on the…
Last Sunday we began a journey of hope, looking to discover what the Bible has to say about the plan God has for all his creation. But the question arises for some: when God gives me His promise of a heavenly home, can I count on it? Will God take it away from me once he has given it? That's today's subject, as the sermon title says it, "Once Saved, Always Saved?" Join us now as we seek the answer…
