Doubting Thomas?

Sermonette by Ronny H. Graham

Many of us borrow trouble by imagining the worst things possible may happen. Sometimes the things we fear may actually work out for our advantage.


Faithful Thomas!

Article by Martin G. Collins

The apostle Thomas has been called "doubting Thomas" for centuries. But was he really doubting? There is more to Thomas than this limited caricature.

'Ready Answer' by Ryan McClure

Our senses can be deceived through distraction and misdirection, which becomes especially critical when determining matters of spiritual importance.


The Post-Resurrection Last Words of Christ (Part Two)

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

It is presumptuous to cast aspersions on Thomas, using the cliché 'Doubting Thomas,' as he was braver than most of us would have been in his circumstances.


Seeing is Not Believing

Sermonette by Ryan McClure

We have the tendency when we see something to register it as truth imprinted on our minds. Jesus warned of deceptions that could confound our sense of sight.


John (Part Twenty-Eight)

Post-Resurrection Lessons

To Watch and Keep

'Prophecy Watch' by Charles Whitaker (1944-2021)

Is prophecy merely to enlighten us about the future? On the contrary, God's spiritual purposes for prophecy concern the subjects of warning and keeping.


Without Me, Nothing! (Part One)

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

The miraculous catch of 153 fish seems to be an anticlimactic ending after Thomas' worship, but the incident is symbolic of Christ's rule over the Church.


Willingness to Believe

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Americans (like most of the Western world) tend to be skeptical, cynical, and jaded, demanding mountains of evidence before becoming convinced of anything.


Where Did The Original Apostles Go?

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

The Scriptures are largely silent about the exploits of the apostles other than Paul. We have only general comments concerning their spheres of activities.


The Measure of Christ's Gift

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

Jesus selected disciples with disparate temperaments, unifying them to accomplish a steadfast purpose. God disperses a wide diversity of spiritual gifts.


No One Else Matters (Part Two)

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Sin has tainted the most faithful leaders. Most (perhaps all) church leaders have skeletons in their closets, but we follow them as they follow Christ.


John (Part Eighteen)

Sermon/Bible Study by John W. Ritenbaugh

Trust in God's ability to resurrect can neutralize the most basic debilitating fear—the fear of death. Christ assures us that death is not the end.


Things Pertaining to the Kingdom!

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

Between Christ's resurrection and ascension, He appeared to His disciples 10 times within 40 days, instructing them about things pertaining to the Kingdom.


Do You Recognize This Man? (Part One)

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Would we recognize Jesus Christ based on a description? Just about everybody with whom He came into contact misunderstood Him, including His own disciples.


Samson and the Christian (Part 3)

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

As Judges 14 opens, God motivates a spoiled, lustful, impetuous troublemaker to begin delivering Israel from the Philistines. Samson walked by sight.


Prepare for Your Future Now

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by John O. Reid

We have been base and ignoble, but Christ has enabled us to be cleaned up and transformed or shaped into offspring of God to be joint heirs with Christ.
