There Is No Neutral - Joplin Emberson

On the day of Jesus’ murder, there were multitudes of people who played a role.  Some active.  Some passive.  And some, like Pilate, who wished they could have just stayed out of it.  Here we see one of the most important lessons of human history: nobody can stay out of it.  Not when it comes to Jesus.  There is always a choice that a person must make.  There is no neutral ground.   It is never a question of if a person must make a choice; the only question is what choice will each person make. 

 

Matthew 27:11-54

Surviving Your Testing In The Wilderness - Joplin Emberson

There are those who wander in the wilderness like Israel did for 40 years. Then there are those who are tested in it like David, like Jesus. The difference between the two wilderness experiences is the difference between night and day. Literally, it is the difference between right and wrong; between running from God and following God. One group is led to the wilderness by their unbelieving, disobeying, rebellious hearts. The other group is led into the wilderness by the divine hand of Almighty God where He will make himself known to them. Today, the latter of the two will be the subject of our study.

 

1st Samuel 22:1-23

Blind No More - Joplin Emberson

In John chapter 9 we have a remarkable account of Jesus healing a blind man who was born blind. He had been blind his entire life. Could you imagine? Yet, as soon as he was healed he was basically banished from his family and his church. Why? What could possibly keep people from celebrating such a miracle? Listen in for the answer as Pastor Joplin Emberson preaches the message “Blind No More.”

John, Chapter 9

Grace Poured Out - Part 5 - Freely Given All Things

To have true peace and joy, nothing is more important than understanding the greatness of God's grace. We need God's grace in every area of our lives. In fact, if it weren't for the grace of God, we would be hopelessly lost. But not only has God given us the grace - the bible declares that God's grace is "overflowing" for us. In this sermon series entitled "Grace Poured Out," Pastor Joplin teaches on the mind-blowing grace of a Holy God. Today's message is Part 5 in this series, the final part, "Freely Given All Things."

Romans 8:31-39

Grace Poured Out - Part 4 - The Cross

God's grace comes to a head at the cross.  God's redemptive plan has been at work since before the foundation of the world. Revelation 13:8 speaks of the "...the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." Therefore, the FULLEST EXAMPLE OF GOD'S GRACE MUST BE FOUND AT THE CROSS. It is here at Calvary that we find it difficult to see "grace" - but truly, it is here that we can best understand the purity and purpose of grace.  Grace raises the bar; consider the sermon on the mount. Let us set the record straight today concerning grace. What it is. What it really looks like in Part 4 of the sermon series: Grace Poured Out - The Cross

A Face Like A Flint - Joplin Emberson

Why would Jesus need to "set his face like a flint?" Why would he need to be so focused on anything? Didn't the Father's will come easy to him? Most people would be surprised to hear the answers to these questions. In today's message, Pastor Joplin Emberson preaches on the importance of a made-up mind and the danger of indecision.

Sifted - Joplin Emberson

No one progresses forward  in Spiritual matters without being tested. Trials are designed to mold us into Holy men and women of God. Yet, many of us fail and run when faithfulness becomes too costly. Such was the case with the great Apostle Peter. What can we learn about the will of God from Peter's trial? What can we learn from his monumental failure? And probably of most importance, what can we learn from his return to the Lord?
