    Explores the importance of evangelism as a daily practice, understanding our role in it, and its power in our everyday lives.

    Good morning, church family! We're here today to talk about something that's at the heart of our faith. It's something that's as essential as prayer, as vital as worship, and as foundational as the Word of God itself. I'm talking about evangelism. Philip Yancey once said, "I have learned that faith ...read more

    The Multiple Meanings Of The Cross Of Christ

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 10, 2025
     | 112 views

    The cross you may be wearing means a great deal more than even many Christians understand.

    Solemnity of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross 2025 In every Christian assembly I’ve attended, I have noticed a number of folks in the congregation wearing jewelry in the shape of a cross, usually simple silver or gold, but sometimes more intricate. On occasion I’ve seen images of Jesus hanging on ...read more

    The Power Of A Scandalous Message: Christ Crucified

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Sep 13, 2025
     | 76 views

    This sermon unpacks Paul's deliberate choice to preach "Christ crucified" in weakness, so that the resulting faith of his hearers would be undeniably anchored in the power of God alone.

    Introduction: The Pressure to Impress Good evening, my brothers and sisters. We live in a world that is enchanted by the impressive. We are drawn to charismatic speakers, to brilliant arguments, to polished and professional presentations. From social media to the corporate boardroom, and yes, even ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 977 views

    There is a cry from heaven that echoes in every heart that belongs to Christ: Go! And Proclaim Him! In Colossians 1:27–28, Paul reveals a glorious mystery—a secret now unveiled: Christ lives in you. Not around you. Not near you. In you. And that changes everything.

    Go! And Proclaim Him: Christ in You, the Hope of Glory - Colossians 1:27-28 (NLT) Colossians 1:27-28 (NLT): "For God wanted them to know that the riches and glory of Christ are for you Gentiles, too.

    A message dealing with biblical resolutions

    There are a lot of resolutions I would like to make...I need to lose some weight, stop drinking so much espresso, even keep my office cleaner. I am starting to realize that with issues of personal purity and devotion to the Lord, I need to see the forest from the trees. It seems to me that if I ...read more

    Simplicity Of The Gospel

    based on 74 ratings
     | 10,141 views

    Paul desired to know nothing of the Corinthians but Jesus Christ and Him crucified. The most important question we can ask is what will you do with the message of the gospel? Nothing else matters unless this question is answered correctly.

    SIMPLICITY OF THE GOSPEL By Pastor Jim May 1 Corinthians 2:1-5, "And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I was with ...read more

     | 6,685 views

    How can the modern professional cope with the overwhelming sense of emptiness and irrelevance?

    Faced with the challenge of Corinth, Paul rolled up his sleeves and got right down to basics. He determined to put aside all other practical and doctrinal issues and focused entirely on Jesus Christ and Him crucified. But why does Paul mention ’Him crucified’, and not ’Him resurrected’? Because ...read more

    Paul uses tremendous contrasts to show the need to distrust the world and to completely trust God and what He offers.

    The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly February 10, 2001 Contrasts can be a wonderful tool to use in order to make a point. We’re very familiar with contrasts that use extremes and represent opposite ends of a spectrum. Some of these include, black and white, big and small, tall and short, fat and thin, ...read more

    The first in a series from Corinthians challenging the congregation to have the resolve to know Christ and his ways.

    - Have you ever been somewhere and you didn’t know anybody? Not one person. You were a total stranger, and everybody around you was totally strange to you. That’s happened to me a few times. Like my first day at Ozark Christian College. I had decided many months before that I was going to ...read more

    "You must be born again," is a life or death statement. But What does it mean? We explore this in John 3.

    Water or the Spirit, Which Birth? Text: John 3:1-17 When Johnny Foust and I were 16 years old, I spent the night at his house and we got out our Bibles and the Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance and looked up every verse that had the words saved, forgiven, redeemed, justified, sanctified, born ...read more

    In this message we see Paul’s philosophy of ministry and are challenged to adopt it as our own.

    “Where I’m Coming From” Today is the first Sunday of the year 2002. Happy New Year! My guess is that you have probably heard those 3 words a lot recently… And I am also sure that you heard those very same words back at the beginning of 2001. Just a few days ago, millions of people ...read more

    Compare your life with the life of a man who met Jesus up while on his way to punish Jesus’ disciples. What did the cross mean to him?

    Let’s think for a moment about a man who was moving up the ladder of success in his field, having been taught in the finest schools, awarded most likely to succeed among his peers, powerful and on fire with a bright future before him. But suddenly he threw it all away. He gave up marriage, ...read more

    Es importante no decir lo que el mundo quiere escuchar, sino predicar ley y evangelio.

    "Gracias por su mensaje esta mañana, pastor." "Fue un muy buen sermón, pastor." Al salir del culto, a veces se pueden escuchar estas frases, ¿verdad? "Fue un muy buen sermón, pastor." Pues, a veces la gente lo dicen nada más como un decir, sin pensar mucho en lo que están diciendo. Pero hay ...read more
