No Reservations Series

Contributed by Johnny Wilson on May 29, 2010

In shifting to a blitzkrieg examination of the role of the church in the Book of Acts, I reworked my sermon on Acts 1. This has some repetition with the other one posted a couple of years ago, but has some new material, too.

Do any of you know what is the last word in the Book of Acts? It is ακωλυτως, pronounced “ah-koh-LOO-tohs” by some and “ah-koh-LEE-tohs” by others, and means “not-hindered,” “not prevented,” “not ...read more

The Gifts Of The Holy Spirit - Part 1 Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Feb 7, 2011

The Gifts of the Holy Spirit has split churches and The Church for thousands of years. Paul delves into this lively and controversial subject in the next three chapters of 1st Corinthians. His reason for the discussion is not to provide a complete guide t

Chapter 12 might look to some as a right turn in the letter—Paul introducing a totally new subject that has nothing to do with what came before. Although it appears to an answer to yet another question from the Corinthians, the undertone of the letter continues—“let the gospel shine brighter than ...read more

The Ledger

Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Mar 10, 2015

Years ago when I was a young banker in Painesville Ohio, we used large leather bound ledgers in which all the accounts were entered by hand. Those ledgers remind me of God's ledgers in heaven.

There is probably no greater summary of God's love ....than that which is found.... in John 3:16. Martin Luther called it ......the miniature gospel. One Sunday school teacher .... kept a copy of this verse in a walnut shell on his desk .....because he was taught as a child..... that John 3:16 ...read more

Character Study Of Hezekiah Series

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 23, 2025

Hezekiah was a great king who trusted in God, led spiritual reforms, and witnessed divine miracles. His life is an example of faith and leadership. However, his later years warn us about the dangers of pride and shortsightedness.

CHARACTER STUDY OF HEZEKIAH – FAITHFUL KING OF JUDAH By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text:. 2 Kings 18:5 "He trusted in the Lord God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him." – Supporting Texts: 2 Kings 18-20, 2 Chronicles ...read more

Masculine Man: How Does A Godly Man Look Like. Series

Contributed by Louis Mare on Jul 20, 2024

Over the years I have seen and learned a lot. What we currently seeing and happening in the world in how men see themselves, how women see men has had a huge cultural and societal shift.

Well, it is good to be with you all today. As we said last week we are starting a new series on biblical relationships. Now for those who know me, I really love to look at the Old Testament stories and how they still shape and show how relevant they are today. So, I want to kick of the series doing ...read more

The Plagues Of Egypt

Contributed by Norman Bernad on Jul 30, 2024

Israel had been slaves in Egypt for 400 years, driven and abused by the power of Pharaoh to build cities that would be a monument to Egyptian power and gods for many centuries. Some of those monuments are partially visible even today

A Thanksgiving Day Message From Paul

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Nov 27, 2024

Paul had much to be thankful for. He shared some of this with the believers in Philippi. This is an abridged version of a sermon I've preached at a few different churches over the years. Feel free to use this as the Lord leads.

Introduction: Thanksgiving Day is only two days away as I write this in November 2024! Many have written about the first Thanksgiving Day, in 1620’s colonial Massachusetts and there is much supplemental material. The important thing is that those early Pilgrims knew they could not possibly have ...read more

Kindling The Fire

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Dec 22, 2025

On Christmas Day 1972, an uncle of mine passed away. Christmas was never the same for his son, my cousin. I know the holiday season, this time of year, is especially hard on many people for many different reasons.

Doing something a little different today. 3 parts, mishmashed into one theme (disclose that theme @ end of message) Today’s key passage is found in Acts 28:1-10 I want us to: start in chapter 24, to see how we get to chapter 27, as we examine chapter 28 (are ya with me so far?)

Use Your God-Given Time Well (Revelation 15:1-8; 16:1-21) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 24, 2023

God uses the bowls to seek repentance from people, right now, and for the past 2000 years. This is everyone' chance to look up, acknowledge God, and turn to him. A no-rapture, academically rigorous reading of Revelation.

Today's going to be a bit of an odd sermon. I'm going to spend most of my time giving us a framework for reading a pretty big chunk of scripture. Basically, I'm going to try to give you a pair of glasses, so that you read it in a particular way, seeing the main points it makes. But ...read more

The Last Of The Giants

Contributed by Davon Huss on Nov 29, 2023

Need 4 things to defeat the enemy giants (started working on this years ago so have no idea where the outline came from but not original with me). This was focused on a group of older veterans for Veteran's Day

HoHum: Veteran’s Day- Be thankful of our veterans and we, who did not serve, need to honor those who did. As we look out, most here are seasoned with time.

Eschatology 5 Of 16 The Tribulation Period

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 13, 2022

In the last sermon, we started dealing with the most dreadful time in the history of man - the seven years known as THE TRIBULATION PERIOD. This period of time will take place after the rapture of the church, and we are placed in our glorified bodies.

Let’s take a minute to review what we talked about in the last sermon - I. THE PURPOSE OF THE TRIBULATION PERIOD We dealt with two things in the first sermon as to why God allows this time to take place on earth. A. TO PREPARE ISRAEL FOR THE MESSIAH They will be convinced that Christ is Who He ...read more
