The Indwelling Spirit Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 28, 2021

Men became the temple of God. This was a basic fact and essential truth of Christianity, but it was one that was difficult to grasp, and it still is today one of the most difficult concepts for Christians to make real in their lives.

In the Old Testament the emphasis is on Jehovah, the God who is above us. In the Gospels the emphasis is on Jesus, the God who is with us. In the book of Acts and the Epistles the emphasis is on the Holy Spirit, the God within us. There can be doubt that this is the age of God’s ...read more

The Battle For Success Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 6, 2021

Paul is convinced that failures can become successes. He knew this for he was one of the most successful failures in history. One of the great themes of literature and the Bible is this theme of success out of failure.

In the 35 years following the Civil War 3 success writers towered high above all others, and they became successful by writing about success. All 3 were ordained men. One of them was Russell Conwell who was the pastor of the Baptist Temple of Philadelphia. He delivered his famous lecture over ...read more

The Motivation To Succeed Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 6, 2021

Paul is so negative here that we know their must be another paradox involved, for he is a positive thinker. We can only conclude that somehow a negative approach is sometimes the most positive method of influence.

Successful people almost always attribute their success, in large measure, to the influence and inspiration of some other person. Henry Ford tells of how he was in a period of uncertainty about building his gas engine. He was discouraged about it, and was letting the idea go dead in him. It was ...read more

Why The Church Matters Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

Do you remember the story about The Three Little Pigs? The first little pig built his house out of straw. The second little pig built his house out of sticks. And the third little pig worked hard and labored diligently as he built his house out of brick.

What would things look like if Satan really took control of a city? If Satan took over a city, all the bars would be closed, pornography banished, and the city streets would be pristine with people who smiled at one another. There would be no swearing.

Watch How You Build Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on May 4, 2022

We are all builders in Christ, but there is only one foundation. Watch how you build upon it and be rewarded for what remains on the day we face God.

Let us RECAP THE CONTEXT. • Paul has been addressing the divisions in the Corinth church, honestly and directly. • The believers were taking sides, glorifying certain leaders and human wisdom. • Paul said it clearly in 3:1 “But I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual people, but as people ...read more

Leaving The Principles Of The Doctrine

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Jun 22, 2020

The context of this verse suggests that we are to leave the principles of Christ's doctrines by building upward from the foundation and not forsaking it.

“Leaving the Principles of the Doctrine” By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. Hebrew 6:1-3 “Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, ...read more

Rebuilding In The Ruins. Series

Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Jul 9, 2020

This sermon looks at the Israelites' "return to worship" after the exile. Makes a great sermon for returning to worship, and for adjusting to changes in this new world and setting.

A few weeks ago, I was able to go back to Illinois and to see my brother confirmed. Before the service, it was nice to walk around and to visit the church I used to call “home.” There’s something nice and nostagilc about being back in places like that.

This exposition of Philippians 2:19-24 focuses on the qualities of godly leadership exemplified in Timothy. His mindset and proven character are Paul's focus. Statistics on the impact of Covid-19 on the American church are also examined.

Our text today is in Philippians 2:19-24. But before we go there, I want to process our current situation in America with you. I’ll begin with a couple of hypothetical situations as a backdrop for what I want to share with you. What would you say if I told you that the Federal government has shut ...read more

Use The Best To Stand The Test

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Nov 23, 2019

Every Christian will have his or her deeds tested by fire. If anyone is not ready, there is still time to make corrections. But this life is all we have, so please, live it wisely!

Use the best to stand the test Some time ago, I saw a question which read, “What on earth are you doing for Heaven’s sake?” That question could be taken any number of ways. I definitely wish more preachers had used this text so as to remind us that our deeds are important, and that this life is ...read more

20/20 Vision, Walking Around Blind

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jan 21, 2021

Temporal? Eternal? My 90 year old dad sang a song from the '40's: 20/20 vision walking around blind. I googled it. Makes me think: DO WE INVEST MORE IN TEMPORAL THINGS THAN ETERNAL? Consider our focus? Investment?

20/20 VISION, WALKING AROUND BLIND… By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (This is a two part lesson, or condense) We are learning more and more about less and less until finally we know everything about nothing! I was recently visiting my Dad. Dad is 90 years old. He has ...read more

Man The Life Boats

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Feb 1, 2021

Once a ship is halfway under it will sink. Best to get in the lifeboat before the ship sucks you down with it. Many churches are ninety percent under and no one wants a life boat. We are not called to go down with the ship.

When Foundations Crumble

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Nov 26, 2018

This sermon looks at our lives when the spiritual earthquakes of life hit, and our spiritual foundations begin to crumble, and then how do we rebuild. We look at Jesus as our chief cornerstone, how we are built as living stones one upon another, and how to find that new normal for life.

When Foundations Crumble There’s a saying among seismologists: “Earthquakes don’t kill people. Buildings kill people.” It’s not the enormous shock waves that cause most injuries and fatalities. It’s how the structures in which people live, work, and congregate react to those shock waves that ...read more
