Description
We have a disastrous loss of basic Biblical knowledge in this country. Christian discernment will continue to fail, and cannot survive without good basic Biblical doctrine. The overwhelming acceptance of "The Shack" book and movie proves my point. today we will cover four basic doctrines about God. His immutability, His omnipotence, His omnipresence, and His omniscience - while touching on the concept of the Trinity. Be ready to take some notes, many scriptures will be covered and many more are available if you will contact me for the handouts that are available for your help. 41min

We live in a world under the influence of Satan & many so-called Christians that don't know what to do, or how to combat this evil. It all starts with a "Biblical Worldview or a Christian Worldview". But how many us understand what that means and entails? And how many of "us" are there to come against "them"? Today we will look at the facts of why the "Church" has been so ineffective. If you are listening to this please call to be sent the 5 pages of notes that this sermon has been taken from. And be ready to take notes as you listen! 49min
Matthew 26c Be Aware 2022 Jewish HOLY DAYS

Many NT verses

Description
The Holy Spirit has interrupted! God has reminded me of how the Old Testament Holy Days relate to the Christ followers of today in the New Testament. Can today's believers understand how the Old Testament and the New Testament are one book written by the finger of God. Today we will relate how the Jewish days of Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, and Hanukkah all closely relate to the modern day believer in the New Testament. God has grafted us in, why do we not understand that God's plan of redemption has not changed? Lots of New Testament verses; please have pencil and paper handy so you can write down the New Testament verses of what the Old Testament Holy Days were telling the modern-day believer. 53min

Description
Happy Easter - He Is Risen!! He is risen indeed!! Today's Easter message may be a little bit different in that I'm not using the typical texts. But you need to know how much God loves you, and how jealous He is for your love and attention. Realizing who God is, and how much He desires our love and appreciation hopefully will come through loud and clear in this message. I don't know if you have ever thought about how "other gods" interfere with our relationship with the One True God. Have you ever thought about how your lack of attention and love shown toward Him affects God? Today, everyone everywhere recognizes this as a celebration of Christ's resurrection from the grave. But we need to go deeper. 33min

Pastor Nelson
Many sources
Description
A "discussion Sunday", about the God's awesome power & control evidenced by HIS SIGNS IN THE HEAVENS! His Blood Red Moons & the history of them (according to NASA!) is mind blowing! Never in the history of mankind are the events of our times making it so clear that God is totally aware of man and what we are doing, and it is all in HIS PERFECT TIMING. We cannot know the day nor the hour of His Return but the time is certainly drawing closer! On the CCS home page (just to your left) scroll down the column & under Resources to Blood Moons & click on it to see a write-up on what we were talking about today. Sorry I couldn't get all pictures & graphs in (yet). Tuesday April 15th from Midnight to about 3am you can see this event start to unfold. Watch on "YouTube.com" the amazing video we saw today & discussed. You can find it by searching for "Paul Grevas" & his 10:34min video "Biblical Blood Moons Cosmic Warning". The KING IS COMING!

Mark 1:1-11 Mark's Gospel gets off to a fast start with John The Baptist (1st Prophet in 400 yrs.) baptizing Jesus. And this is the start of Jesus ministry. But why did Jesus get baptized - he had no sin? This Gospel of Mark wastes no words in trying to reach the gentiles & Romans. In verses 10-11 we clearly see the "Trinity" - if you are listening and haven't received the helpful info sheet on the Trinity please contact me & I will email you a copy. Also would love to hear from you & know what you think of our verse by verse teaching. 42min

Mark 1:12-13. Only 2 verses today! We had such a great Body Life Discussion that ran long & we are having potluck today - so I must keep it short today! Have you ever wondered about the trials & testings we seem to go through? Well Jesus also had His time of testing too. And why the number 40? Does it hold some kind of meaning? And is being tempted sin? All this and more in how God is forging you into the instrument He wants you to be. 26min

Mark 1:14-20

Description
Mark 1:14-20 Haaa at last back to verse by verse! And trying to tell the sense of it all to you (Neh 8:8). Today we are going to look at a number of different scriptures to give the background of why "the church" was so upset with Jesus. From the get-go He was saying "I am the Messiah, I AM the I AM, the Law can't save you, now the Kingdom of God (heaven) is revealed - and you must Repent & Believe THIS GOSPEL (good news), for it is all about a change in your heart!" And then He picks His first 4 disciples to spread the message! The application is "What is Jesus calling YOU to do?" and "What will it COST you?" 40min
Mark 1f The Authority of Jesus
Pastor Nelson
Mark 1:21-37
Loading the player...
Description
Mark 1:21-37 Today's message has to do with Jesus proving who He claimed to be. From the very start of His ministry He acted with authority & power. today we hear not only about the miracles & the casting out of demons, but about some food for thought because the people of today are not unlike those who lived in Jesus time. Remember "The Gospel" is not about a "religion" - the folks had experienced too much of that! And it wasn't working for them. But it is about WHO IS THIS ONE FROM NAZARETH? Was He the coming Christ? The promised Messiah? What real authority did He have? 44min
Mark 2a Jesus Heals & Declares Sins Forgiven
Pastor Nelson
Mark 1:38 - 2:12
Loading the player...
Description
Mark 1:38 - 2:12 Today, it is so plain that Jesus is introducing His proofs as the Messiah. He is preaching the good news about God's promises (not about religion), and forgiving sin which only God can do. The healing of the leper is a good introduction (& there are good things for us to learn) and finished off by His healing of the paralytic. If we go back to the Old Testament and place ourselves in the mindset of the people and the scribes, only the hardest heart can reject God's love and clear arguments. Jesus main emphasis now is do you understand who I am? 41min
Mark 10b Marriage & Divorce
Pastor Nelson
Mark 10:1-12
Loading the player...
Description
Mark 10:1-12 Marriage and divorce is a difficult topic to preach on (because some may be offended on what is about to be said). So we need to stick with what the Bible says in both the Old Testament and the New Testament to get a proper perspective. Two thoughts-marriage is not about making you happy, & marriage was meant to be a picture ( a flag, or symbol) about God's love and commitment to you. There may be some hard things in this sermon to accept in our politically correct society, but God's truths are forever right and proper. Please open your mind to what the Holy Spirit is speaking to us today, just like He did to God's chosen people in Old Testament times. 49 min
Mark 10c Child Like Faith
Pastor Nelson
Mark 10:13-31
Loading the player...
Description
Mark 10:13-31 These scriptures flow together so easily. God's lessons are so simple if we are able to hear what He is saying. Childlike faith is essential to inherit eternal life. Adult self-sufficiency must cease when we are talking about the Kingdom of God. Who would dare to hinder a child coming to know God? We can intellectually understand God's commandments and yet miss the heart of the issue! All the things that adults usually strive for are useless in obtaining eternal life. An inheritance is given and not earned, it can only be accepted as a gift. This was & is a key lesson for the disciples as well as you, all the principles still apply. Will you hear the Holy Spirit today? 46min PS A shocker "Why does God allow the wicked to prosper?"
Mark 10d Servanthood & Blind Eyes
Pastor Nelson
Mark 10:35-52
Loading the player...
Description
Mark 10:35-52 In today's lesson, we learn about servant leadership and blind eyes seeing from the heart. James and John were part of the inner circle of Jesus yet they sought powerful positions because of self-centeredness. Have you considered what it costs to follow Christ? Verse 45 is a key verse in Mark & marks a turning point. Bartimaeus saw the Messiah with blind eyes and a pure heart. His cries made Jesus standstill. The Old Testament and the New Testament both tell the same story about where we should be coming from and headed toward. Thankfulness is a huge part of being a Christian. 48min

Mark 11:1-11

Description
Mark 11:1-11 As Jesus comes into Jerusalem with his disciples, there are some interesting lessons to be learned in these few versus. How the beginning of the week can fulfill so many prophecies, and bring about so much joy and by the end of the week, end up with six trials over no guilt found and yet condemned to crucifixion. You may not have thought of some of these minor details, but they do remind us who we are & who Jesus is. The Old & New Testament perfectly complement each other. What would you have thought about the happenings going on around you in those days? 40min

Description
Mark 11:14 In a way I'm sorry that I am not more conventional. But God has laid on my heart to teach hard truths that are NOT the usual "milk" given to everyday folks in Christianity. I feel like a voice crying in the wilderness. There are so many things going on right now that as followers of Christ you need to be aware of. My job as a pastor is not to lessen the pain that you must go through in this life, but to teach you how to endure and overcome through the promises of God. today's quick Scripture lesson was different than I thought it would be, we primarily focus on John 15:1-15. Please hear the spirit of God. 19min

Mark 11:15-26 Well we have had a great history lesson. Thank you Pastor Hayden Porter. Thinking about what Pastor Porter has shared & the lesson for today, I know prayer and faith in God was a huge part of what was going on back in 1776. We all must know that our faith in God is essential along with understanding his precepts. Next week we will talk more about the will of God, our responsibility to be productive, and what it takes to have our prayers answered. So today I'm going to give you just a slight preview of what we are going to cover next week. 15min

Mark 11:27 - 12:12 On this the last day of 2017, the windchill is 17 below zero. Brrrrr. Have you ever questioned the authority of Jesus? The religious leaders of Jesus time did, and it's a fascinating story. It proves once again that God's eternal plans have not changed, will not change, and HE tells us in advance what His plans are. BUT, we need the Spirit of God in us & His precious Word to understand and know what He is doing. Please know that Jesus holds you tightly in His hands & with Him we can do everything He wants us to do. May you all have a very blessed new year in Christ Jesus our Lord. 38min
Mark 12b Jesus Challenged 3 Times
Pastor Nelson
Mark 12:13-34
Loading the player...
Description
Mark 12:13-34 What a beautiful study of Jesus being challenged 3 times by the leaders of the temple and the Jewish religious philosophies of His day. So plainly these leaders just did not get the Old Testament Scriptures or the Power of God. The Mosaic law & the temple had become something completely unacceptable to God. I hope you will get a new appreciation of how the New Testament complements the Old & and how God's call for a relationship with sinful man has never changed. One major point, the 10 Commandments are not "ten" but actually "one". It's all about our relationship with God and our fellow man. 48min
Mark 12c The Lord said to my Lord
Pastor Nelson
Mark 12:35-40
Loading the player...
Description
Mark 12:35-40 In today's teaching, we need to go back for just a bit to understand how Jesus set up the scribes and Pharisees in the temple to be admonished. Remembering that the Bible is one book not 2, we need to take a look at Psalms 110 & some historical background. We also need to remember to be careful who we are listening to for our spiritual input, as these temple guys weren't doing so hot. I had really planned on going much further today, but at 6 AM the Lord slowed me down a lot and said I needed to explain these things first before we got to the widow's mite & the Mount of Olives teaching. God is so good! I pray you are blessed by today's teaching. 39min

Description
Mark 12:41-44 In order to tie things together I must repeat a little bit of what you learned last week. Today we are looking at every person's purpose in life & what it has to do with the Word of God & our eternity. We will examine our relationship with, & our trust in God. We have two examples here, the Scribes (religious leaders) & the destitute widow. We are going to talk about "religion" & our trust in God and his provision for our lives. Ask yourself, do I really understand the purpose of giving to the Church. Hopefully, by the time we're done you will have a greater appreciation for what the Scriptures say about where our hearts are. 44min
Mark 13a Jesus & Disciples Looking at the Temple
Pastor Nelson
Mark 13:1-2
Loading the player...
Description
Mark 13:1-2 Because our "before the sermon" Bible Study took 1 hour&15 minutes, today's sermon will be short. We looked at two areas. Congress bill HR 4760, which was just introduced, would require "everyone" to receive an implanted biometric National ID Card (microchip). In just a few days it had over 70 cosponsors. This chip would be required to hold a job, have a bank account, & more. The second topic, was a discussion on God's detailed revelation of how the "Menorah" is related to the 66 books of our Bible. Absolutely fascinating. I have handouts on both of these topics should you wish to receive them email or text me. Here are two YouTube videos that will help explain the meaning of the Menorah. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggZfDaMUWhE & www.youtube.com/watch?v=LufsjQqYx-U In today's sermon you're going to get a little background and an introduction to Jesus teaching his disciples on the Mount of olives a few days before his crucifixion. We will cover more next time, & get to the topics of the rapture, the second coming, the current and future events Jesus said were coming. Don't miss it. 25min

Mark 13:14-23 In talking about the great tribulation, Jesus wants you to understand the clear differences between the pre-tribulation Rapture, and His second coming. I have given you two handouts, one that describes the contrast between the Rapture and the Second Coming with 16 clearly defined events (or situations) including Scripture verses for each of those events. The second handout includes references to the Olivet Discourse Prophecies on one side and 19 Scripture verses on how to Endure to the End on the other. (Those listening on the Internet may obtain the free handouts by contacting me). The whole point of today's sermon centers around Christians being ready for the rapture! Head knowledge is not enough - you must be a "true disciple" of Christ, which means you are a FATO - faithful, available, teachable, & obedient. 54min Sorry there was no sermon last Sunday there was a winter blizzard closure with lots of snow and -25 degree temperatures plus several people were sick.

Mark 13:24-37 What a glorious privilege to teach on the 2nd coming of Christ once again. the promise of the rapture and the second coming is a core Hope and Belief of all Christians. In picking just a few of the 1845 scriptures concerning this topic, All I can say is my study in this has been glorious. If you didn't get last weeks handouts please contact me and request them. It would be a great start for your own personal study. You sense the season - I'm sure you do, so are you using your time wisely?

Mark 13:3-13 In this lesson we will study the first part of the "Mount Olivet Discourse" that Jesus spoke to His Disciples. God has all things planned out to the finest detail. I'll use the Menorah to prove that point. Do end-times prophesies bother you - they shouldn't. Get ready for some real page turning as we look at other scriptures to confirm the primary text.

Mark 14:27-42 Today's lesson deals with our struggle against sin and what Jesus went through in the garden of Gethsemane. After all, he was to become our sacrifice for sin. We need to understand that every word in the Scriptures have powerful meanings behind them. Meanings that we can relate our lives to today. Jesus disciples didn't understand about spiritual battles & today many of us don't either. Hopefully this teaching will help you better understand what Jesus did in the garden, when he sweat blood and was asking the Father if there couldn't be some other way. 45min.
Mark 14c Jesus Betrayal & Arrest
Pastor Nelson
Mark 14:43-65
Loading the player...
Description
Mark 14:43-65 Today we will be looking at the betrayal and arrest of Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane. What a dramatic scene if we look at all four Gospels for the big picture of what happened that night. I can't imagine what it would've been like for the disciples. Wasn't the Messiah supposed to save the day? I'm sure it was a night of confusion, anxiety, fear, and disappointment. But that is because the disciples did not fully understand Jesus's purpose for coming. Jesus had told them many times what was going to happen but somehow they just didn't hear it. Isn't it amazing how the Old Testament prophets foretold what was happening. 45min
Mark 14e Life is Not Fair

Mark 14:66-72

Description
Mark 14:66-72 Today we examine the scene where Peter denies Jesus (his friend, and Messiah) and genuinely weeps over his inability to relate to his Lord Jesus the Christ. We have all been tested in this way. Being tested by those that don't understand Christianity and our belief in & in trust in Jesus Christ our Savior, is often a very trying situation. We know what we believe but expressing it to others at times can be extremely difficult. So listen to how this simple short story applies to us today. And hopefully, you will understand the principles and apply the applications to your life. 44min

Description
Mark 15:1-41 Today we look at Jesus's trial before Pilate, then Herod, and then Pilate again. And then what happens to Jesus before He is crucified and dies. There is so much detail given in the four Gospels that if we only combine them we get the real picture. Understanding what was actually happening in real time. I pray this history lesson will come alive for you. Jesus was declared innocent six times in six trials (three Jewish and three Roman) and yet was crucified. Crucifixion is one of the most hideous torturous deaths known to man. So come with me on this discovery of what is in your Bible and understand why Jesus had to suffer this terrible day. YET it was the greatest day in all of man's existence! For it was the day that God gave us away to conquer the punishment for sin in the death penalty. And provide us a way to live free forever. 55min
