    When Faith Stepped Out, Fear Brought Doubt

    Contributed by Russell (Rusty) Pruitt on May 6, 2026
     | 181 views

    Faith is something all Christians struggle with. We want more and stronger faith. We say, with the man who had a mute, demon-possessed boy whom he brought to Jesus for healing, " I believe, Lord. Help my unbelief." We will see this illustrated in this sermon.

    When Faith Stepped Out, Fear Brought Doubt Text: Matthew 14:28-31 Introduction: Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. This passage is the practical illustration of that text. We will see that fear is the opposite of and the enemy of ...read more

     | 113 views

    In Islam’s end-time theology, there are three signs of the end of time, and each one is a man.

    Islam and the Antichrist Text: Matthew 24:24 Introduction: I preached this in August of 2021, but it is still applicable. The Lord is here prophesying about events that will occur as we approach the end of time as we now know it. He foretells the destruction of Jerusalem; of many deceivers ...read more

    Traveling Through This World Of Sorrow

    Contributed by Russell (Rusty) Pruitt on Nov 3, 2024
     | 859 views

    This world has always been a dangerous place for Christians. In John 15 Jesus said the world would hate His followers

    TRAVELING THROUGH THIS WORLD OF SORROW TEXT: PSALM 20:1-2; 7 INTRODUCTION: The song, “I Want to Know More About My Lord,” was written by Lee Roy Abernathy.

    It Never Crossed His Mind Again

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,531 views

    Although Jesus was and is fully God, He was and is fully man. He can feel what we feel because, as the Word says, He was “…in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin” (Heb. 4:15). We are going to look at how His faith was tested, but He did not sin – not even one time.

    IT NEVER CROSSED HIS MIND AGAIN TEXT: HEBREWS 12:1-3 INTRODUCTION: We are told to “consider” Jesus, Who “endured the cross” and despised “the shame.” He endured the shame because of, “the joy that was set before Him.” He is the beginner and finisher of our faith. He walked the way of faith first ...read more

    Paul uses the word, “paradise.” It is of Oriental or Persian origin, meaning “the upper reaches of the heavens.” Paul was taken where God and other heavenly beings’ dwell.

    WHAT IS HEAVEN LIKE? TEXT: II COR. 12:2-4 INTRODUCTION: I want to acknowledge Dr. John Barnett as an inspiration for this message, and for stimulating me to my own research on this topic. I didn’t quote him, but after viewing several of his YouTube sermon videos, some of his thoughts inevitably ...read more

    If people are to be saved, it is absolutely essential that they hear the Bible, the Word of God.

    LOVE THE WORD, LEARN THE WORD, LIVE THE WORD TEXT: Matthew 22:36-40 Introduction: Jesus answered this question with finality. He was referring back to Deuteronomy 6:4-5, where Moses reminded the Israelites of what God had said – but more than just, “said,” He gave a “Commandment,” that we, His ...read more

    God hates sin. Racism is sin, and a Christian must hate what God hates, therefore a Christian cannot be a racist.

     | 4,223 views

    The Apostle John wrote that in his day, the spirit of Antichrist was already at work in the world. It has not changed. The spirit of Antichrist is still at work in our day.

    COMMUNISM: THE SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST IN OUR AGE TEXT: “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

    Contributed by Russell (Rusty) Pruitt on Oct 10, 2020
     | 3,406 views

    If we are to be successful as Christians, and as a local church, we must educate ourselves about satan’s evil purposes. I want to talk about satan’s influence in and through the “isms” of the world.

    The devil in the “Isms” TEXT: 2 COR. 2:5-11 (from the ESV) INTRODUCTION: I want to focus on: “We are not ignorant of his designs,” (KJV devices) where Paul is referring to satan’s designs. Designs is from the Greek word: “no'-a-mä” (nigh’ e ma) and means “a purpose, and specifically, an ...read more
