The Purpose Of The Law

Contributed by Lee Houston on Oct 11, 2024

How important is the Law: Jesus said, Matthew 5:18, “For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.”

The Title: The Purpose of the Law Scripture: Matthew 5:18, Romans: 7-12 Reason for this sermon: Twice I have led Bible studies through the 613 laws in the Pentateuch. It was amazing.

The Secret To Inner Peace Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 28, 2025

The world thinks that if they could just change their circumstances, they could avoid stress and worry... and could have the peace they crave. But Jesus said that won't work. In this world we are guaranteed to have trouble. But Jesus promises us a peace that the world cannot give.

This is the last in our sermon series - entitled “One Thing”. We’ve been focusing on ONE WORD in Scripture that sums up a basic Bible truth, and today’s word is PEACE. Jesus said “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be ...read more

Love As I Have Loved

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Apr 16, 2025

People don’t naturally love with a 1 Corinthians 13 type love. To love like that, there must be a line of demarcation, a transition from casual to serious, there must be change of heart, you must be Born-Again. Love can transcend these artificial barriers that keep us separated from one another.

Love as I have Loved By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. PRAYER SCRIPTURE: - John 13:31-35 “Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify ...read more

Facing Forward Series

Contributed by Andy Stanley on Sep 18, 2009

The third in a series of messages on the topic of an invisible "unseen" world that impacts our visible world. This sermon focuses on the bondage of our human bodies to decay and suffering, and that God remains present and active through it all.

The irony of pain and suffering, or one of the ironies, is that it’s really the shortest route to God. When the bottom drops out and things suddenly, overnight, or in a moment, or in a phone call, go wrong, everybody--believers, unbelievers, agnostics, atheists--everybody, suddenly, there’s a ...read more

Contributed by Michael Walker on Feb 2, 2003

Being dead is not good. It’s not good for you and it’s certainly not good for anyone else. Being alive is much better...agree, I thought so. Yea, I know some say "isn’t it better to be dead and out of this sin cursed world and be with Jesus". Sure it is
