Sermons on A Lamp For My Feet:

Jesus - The Way,the Truth, And The Life

Contributed by Gbemisola Fafowora on Jun 22, 2018

This verse was written on the wall in my room. I did not know where it was in the Bible and after reading it , the Holy Spirit spoke and said to me open John 14:6, and told me to take it to Nations that He was the way, the truth and the life.

John 14: 1 - 6 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that ...read more

Imagine Redemption

Contributed by John Oscar on Jul 22, 2018

Note: This sermon is inspired and provided by "City On A Hill" which owns the rights to the movie, "I Can Only Imagine". Much of the sermon structure is theirs, and it's been edited toward my personal preaching style as well as the personal illustration

IMAGINE REDEMPTION MATTHEW 5:2-12 (Third and Final “Imagine” series) At the beginning of this series, we talked about how Jesus rooted his identity in being a loved son of God.

If It's Going To Be, It's Up To Me.

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Jul 30, 2018

My life took a giant leap forward when I got the revelation of personal responsibility. Noah didn't expect God to build his ark. God is the master planner, but he has left the building up to us.

Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil to you to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Around the ...read more

The Cleft Of The Rock

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Sep 30, 2017

The analogy of Christ to a rock has its roots in Scripture. There are numerous Old Testament references to the Lord as a "Rock" or "Rock of my salvation." Or as one of our songs, drawn from Psalm 18 says, “The Lord liveth, and blessed be the Rock.”

This sermon is rather unusual in format. I paused at various times for one of the members to lead a song relevant to the topic under consideration at the moment, sometimes followed by a prayer directly related to the subject. These notes reflect the pauses and the songs that were sung at those ...read more

Are You Living, Or Are You Dying? Series

Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Oct 1, 2017

My dorm mate used to say, "Are you living, or are you dying?" His saying brings up a point. What is living? As Paul sits in a dark, dank, depressing prison cell, he gives us and the Philippians an answer.

Are you living, or are you dying? One of my dormmates, Josh, would tell me that all the time. He would say that to encourage me to get out of my room, to stop studying, and to go have some fun, which, in his definition, would be living. Then what is dying? Well, that is what I was doing, and ...read more

Producing Fruits Of The Kingdom

Contributed by William Baeta on Oct 7, 2017

“What more could have been done to my vineyard that I have not done in it? Why then, when I expected it to bring forth good grapes, did it bring forth wild grapes?” Is. 5:4

Introduction: The focus of many people today is to acquire wealth and property and enjoy worldly pleasures. This is not surprising as the wealthy are accorded the best places at functions and attract the most respect no matter the source of their wealth. The first words of Scripture, however ...read more

God Can Make A Nobody Into A Somebody Series

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Sep 5, 2016

For a long time, many skeptics and atheists have stated that David is a mythical character invented by the Jews. But recent archaeological discoveries have proven otherwise. My trip to Israel in January 2016 brought new revelations. David is God's Man.

Advancing The Gospel Series

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Mar 23, 2015

Can we look at this or that circumstance in our lives and say, “As bad as my situation is, I can see a way to press it into the service of the gospel. I can bear witness to Christ even in the midst of this”?

God's Gift Of The Magi

Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 30, 2015

The Magi were humbled by the state of reverence that they felt for the Christ Child. That, my friends, is the appropriate motivation for worship in our church services today. We need to put away our pride and worldly baggage and worship Christ sincerely.

Well, the 12 days of Christmas are over for another season. All of the decorations are down and put away for another year, and the presents have been opened.

Sermon "Do-Over" - Satisfaction Guaranteed?

Contributed by Dan Cormie on Feb 22, 2015

Since 2002 I have undergone a complete theological transformation and many of the sermons posted here from my earlier days in the ministry are; to put it nicely, “A little off.” This series is an attempt to remedy this situation.

Bread And Swords Series

Contributed by Philip Harrelson on Apr 7, 2014

This is the ninth message in my series on David. The house of the Lord always adds much to us when we come to worship. Sometimes our motives are not the best but God still works out the rough places of our character by His grace.

Trouble in Paradise Introduction Last week we were in Paradise. We left Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. At that point their life was perfect. Their relationship with God was perfect. God made it a habit of walking in the Garden with them every evening, personally teaching them the truth. ...read more

The Attributes Of The Bride Of Christ - 3

Contributed by James Snyder on Mar 7, 2016

There are so many things about me that I do not understand, but behind everything in me is God, the master artist, at work. The great joy of my life is discovering what it means to be a part of the Bride of Christ. Celebrating that truth every day.

The Attributes Of Christ’s Bride - 3 Proverbs 31:10-31 To really understand a great piece of art you need to know the artist. Only the artist can give you the significance behind every brush stroke.
