  • Exercising And Exorcising

    Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Jan 8, 2025

     | 119 views

    In this passage, we see two blind men who had to "exercise" their faith to receive their sight. However, we see another kind of exercise in this passage; or rather, “exorcise,” as Jesus exorcised a demon from a man who was mute.

    You have probably heard someone say before that we need to “exercise” our faith. In Hebrews chapter 12, we read, “Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:1b-2a). Jesus is both the author and finisher. He is ...read more

  • Navigating The Ebb And Flow

    Jesus shared words to help John's disciples navigate change, as they were dealing with the loss of their leader. He also addressed the change of grace over legalism. This passage can be applied to change within the church.

    I have entitled our message this morning, “Navigating the Ebb and Flow.” The expression “ebb and flow” is an idiom used to describe periods of highs and lows, and growth and decline, just like the rising and falling of the tides. It is essentially the idea that life is not always constant, but ...read more

  • Ambassadors For Christ

    This message views the biblical image of "ambassador for Christ" in the context of the Roman world. While sojourning on earth, we must represent our real homeland, the kingdom of heaven.

    “George Shultz, when Secretary of State during the Reagan administration, kept a large globe in his office. When newly appointed ambassadors had an interview with him . . . Shultz would test them. He would say, ‘You have to go over the globe and prove to me that you can identify your country.’ ...read more

  • Sins Forgiven, Health Restored

    This message looks at how Jesus healed a paralytic, and discusses the connection between sin and illness, and forgiveness and healing. God desires for your whole spirit, soul, and body to be healed (1 Thessalonians 5:23).

    I would like to begin our message this morning with a true story about a woman’s healing. A pastor named John Wimber says, “A woman in her late forties asked me to pray for her healing. She suffered from chronic stomach disorders and arthritis . . . I asked her if she was feeling hostility, ...read more

  • The Demons Will Flee

    This message looks at two "demon-possessed" men, discusses the translation "demonized," and provides a spiritual application on how to recognize the devil's activity, overcome Satan's attacks, and find deliverance.

    I want to get us started with some observations and an illustration by Neil T. Anderson, the president of Freedom in Christ Ministries. He says, “Psychologists and psychiatrists routinely see patients who are hearing voices: chemical imbalance is the standard diagnosis . . . But how can a chemical ...read more

  • Peace, Be Still

    A storm arose on the sea and the disciples thought they were going to die. In the storms of life, Jesus speaks into our circumstances. He is working to either calm the storm or quiet our heart. When we trust in Him, we find peace.

    Allow me to begin our sermon with an illustration. “Horatio Spafford was a Chicago lawyer and friend of evangelist Dwight L. Moody. In 1873, to visit Moody’s preaching campaign in England, he planned a trip for his family to Europe, and sent his wife Anna and daughters on ahead. But the ship ...read more

  • Come To The Other Side

    Two disciples were challenged to cross the sea of Galilee. It takes faith to cross over, and we must make the crossing if we ever hope to be in God's will. Crossing over is about moving from where we are to where Jesus is.

    “Many years ago, it was decided to put a suspension bridge across a wide gorge. How could they build a bridge across such a wide space? If fact, how could they even start? They shot an arrow from one side to the other. The arrow carried across the gulf a tiny thread, and thus the connection was ...read more

  • Burning Fever Be Gone!

    Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Aug 29, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 450 views

    The Bible teaches us that sin is an infection leading to a terrible fever; an infection that must be cleansed through the washing of water by the word and by the precious blood of Jesus Christ. He heals both spiritual and physical illnesses.

    “In 1818, Ignaz Phillip Semmelweis was born into a world of dying women. The finest hospitals lost one out of six young mothers to the scourge of ‘childbed fever.’ A doctor’s daily routine began in the dissecting room where he performed autopsies. From there he made his way to the hospital to ...read more

  • Faith Like A Centurion

    Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Aug 14, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,111 views

    This passage shares the account of a soldier; one who had enough faith to take Jesus at His word and receive an answer to His request. The centurion had great love for his servant and great faith that Jesus could heal his servant.

    I want to begin our message this morning with a sermon illustration: “It is said that Napoleon [Bonaparte], while looking at some papers, let slip the bridle of his horse, which reared [back] so that the emperor was in danger. A corporal . . . leaped forward and caught the bridle, bringing the ...read more

  • Ministering To The Sick

    based on 1 rating
     | 951 views

    People can become so afraid of catching an illness that they will stay clear of anyone who is sick. Jesus challenged people to realize that caring for the spiritual needs of others far supersedes one’s desire for self-preservation.

    I want to begin our message today with two quotes by Mother Teresa; and here is the first quote: “The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.”(1) In her humanitarian efforts in Calcutta, Mother Teresa saw a lot of rejection and hopelessness, ...read more

  • Building On The Rock Series

    Those who heed the message of a false prophet are unwise, building their hope on an unstable foundation. Jesus discusses "doing" vs. "doing his will," as many who proclaim to do works in His name will wind up in hell.

    Our message today picks up where we left off, where Jesus warned us about false prophets who are ravenous wolves in sheep’s clothing (cf. Matthew 7:15-20). When I preached from that passage, I began with the fairy tale of “Little Red Riding Hood” and the wolf as our opening illustration. This ...read more

  • Beware Of Ravenous Wolves Series

    Things are not always as they seem; and Jesus shares what to look for in identifying false prophets. These are false teachers, ravenous wolves, who seek to feed and save themselves, rather than feed and protect the flock.

    Allow me to begin with an illustration: As Little Red Riding Hood is heading to her grandmother’s house; a wolf comes along and finds out where she lives. He travels ahead, enters the house, and eats the grandmother! When Little Red Riding Hood arrives, she notices her grandmother’s unusual ...read more

  • Explanation Of Spiritual Gifts Series

    Session 3: This upload, which is a supplement to Session 2, contains an explanation of all the spiritual gifts, along with examples of where each gift can be used in the life of the church.

    The Gift of Administration (Exodus 18:20-22) The Holy Spirit enables some of us to motivate, direct and inspire God's people in such a way that they voluntarily and harmoniously work together to do the Church's work effectively. To exercise the gift of administration is to assume oversight ...read more

  • The Gifts Are Available Today Series

    Session 2: This second study looks at three more passages on spiritual gifts. It also discusses "the view of cessation" and "the difference between talents and spiritual gifts."

    Last week, we began our study on spiritual gifts by discussing the work of the Holy Spirit. We learned that an individual is filled with the Spirit at the very moment of salvation, when he or she confesses Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. We discovered that the phrase “being filled with the Holy ...read more

  • The Narrow And Difficult Way Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,066 views

    There are two separate gates that lead to two separate ways, or roads. One way leads to blessing and the other way to difficulty. So, which way, or which road, leads to life and blessing? The correct way is Jesus (John 14:6).

    When I was in my twenties, I was an avid cave explorer. Now, I just watch caving videos on YouTube. It is interesting how spelunkers will naturally follow a large wide-open passage first. They will bypass numerous smaller ones, all because the larger one does not involve hunching over or ...read more
