    Grace And Going To The Lost Series

    Contributed by Martin Wiles on May 23, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,646 views

    Not all will accept the gospel, but we must continue to go with the assurance of God’s presence and power and the knowledge that those who respond will be accepted.

    Romans 10:13-21 Introduction: A. What exactly is our responsibility to the lost? B. Should we have the attitude of “I’ve got mine. You worry about yours?” C. Do we ever think about how our life might be different had someone not told us about God’s love and provision in ...read more

    Jesus showed God’s love to one of His lost sheep beside a well in Samaria and then He showed His love for all of His lost sheep on the cross.

    Ahhh … small town country living! Where everybody knows everybody …and everybody knows everybody’s business, amen? Sychar was your typical small country town where everybody knew everybody … and everybody knew everybody’s business. Sychar’s only claim to fame was that it was located a half ...read more

    What God's Love Does Not Do

    Contributed by Andy Brenton on Aug 26, 2014
     | 4,257 views

    God is love, but God is not love ALONE! God is a jealous God and a God of wrath. Therefore, there are some things that God cannot do even though His love for us is so great. If God were to accept the things discussed, it would go against His very nature.

    WHAT GOD’S LOVE DOES NOT DO! “Rom. 5:6-8” A. The Word “Love” Is Used About 400 Times In The Bible. 1. Love Ties Us To Our Relationship With God. 2. John 3:16 GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD 3. John 14:15 IF WE LOVE HIM, WE WILL KEEP… B. Love Is Often ...read more

    God Requires Us To Come With Clean Hands And A Clean Heart Series

    Contributed by Michael Trigg on Oct 15, 2006
    based on 11 ratings
     | 14,906 views

    We must resist the pressures to secularise our faith and to accept the beliefs of other gods. We must seek the peace of God in His Word, not in the words of humans.

    God requires us to come with Clean Hands and a Clean Heart ZECHARIAH 5:1 – 11 INTRODUCTION. God requires us to come to Him with clean hands and a clean heart. This means that we need to look clean but we also need to be clean inside. I find it interesting that the world so often concentrates on ...read more

    Simeon’s Prayer – Content With Jesus Series

    Contributed by Sherm Nichols on Nov 17, 2011
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,106 views

    Looking at Simeon's prayer to understand the ability to let go of this life comes from first embracing Jesus. We need to learn to accept that having Jesus is "enough."

    Luke 2:25-33 Intro: I’ve read several different versions of monkey traps that are used in different parts of the world – in India, in Africa – a coconut is taken and cleaned out, then, a hole just large enough to let a monkey get his hand inside is cut into it. Some kind of ...read more

    The Parable Of The Prodigal Son

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Feb 20, 2021
     | 4,156 views

    The parable explains why Jesus received tax collectors and sinners and why we need to too. It's all about God's grace!

    Today we’re going to look at the Parable of the Prodigal Son. It’s Jesus’ longest parable and one of the most famous. We can look at this story from several perspectives. We could reflect on the father in the story and what he shows us of God’s extraordinary grace. We could think about the ...read more

    New Things

     | 10,354 views

    All of us love new things. God loves to give new things too. We have a New Convenant through the Blood of Jesus and once we accept Jesus, there are a lot of "new things" that can be ours as well.

    New Things By Pastor Jim May Don’t you just love to have something that’s new? Which of us does not like the smell of a new car? And who among us would not like to have a new home with all the modern conveniences? What about new clothes that fit better and haven’t been through the washer and ...read more

    Hopeless And Helpless? Series

    Contributed by Michael Deutsch on Jul 22, 2013
     | 8,640 views

    Too often in life, we find it easier to complain and wallow in our self pity, than to accept healing from Christ.

    Hopeless and Helpless? June 2, 2013 John 5:1-14 Have you ever felt hopeless — helpless — at the end of your proverbial rope? That’s a loaded question, because we’ve all been there. In one way, or many ways, we’ve been there. When we’re there, we have options, ...read more

    Sermon # 33 - God Is Sovereign Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 11, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 303 views

    The King of Nineveh humbled himself before God because he understood that God is sovereign. There are many others in the bible who recognized God’s sovereignty and submitted to His will. Only those who recognize and acknowledge God’s sovereignty can joyfully accept His dealings in their lives.

    We read in Jonah 3:9, “Who knows? God may turn and relent and turn from his fierce anger, so that we may not perish.” (ESV) The one who said these words in the verse mentioned above, was the King of Nineveh, which makes it truly astounding. Let me give you a background which led to this response ...read more

    Mary accepts her bearing the Son of God without fear

    “DO NOT BE AFRAID” This is the fourth Sunday of Advent, and we just heard a gospel reading foretelling the conception of Jesus – just two days before we celebrate His birth. The timing of this gospel reading often confuses people – why do we hear about Mary being called to be the mother of ...read more

    Luke 14:15-21 15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. 16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: 17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to ...read more

    Nothing Should Hold Us Back

    Contributed by Manny Salva Cruz on Feb 2, 2015
    based on 3 ratings
     | 12,406 views

    Nothing should hold us back when we worship the Lord. Our worship must be pure and authentic. That is why God's desire for us is to be released from the bondage of Satan.

    Today, we will be going to Exodus chapter 9. We will study the statements of God in answer to Pharaoh's stubbornness. What does God desire that is of utmost importance? What does God caution us against? What are the consequences of disobedience? May the Lord give us understand on these ...read more

    Is There A Concept Of Truth?

    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Mar 8, 2017
     | 4,249 views

    Pilate asked one of the greatest questions in history: WHAT IS TRUTH? Is truth just facts? Reality? Who defines truth? God has a concept of truth--- will we accept His plan?

    IS THERE A CONCEPT OF TRUTH? WHO DEFINES TRUTH? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com Ever heard it said: IF THIS IS WRONG, I DO NOT WANT TO BE RIGTH?

    When Does A Pardon Have Value? Series

    Contributed by James Kirkland on Jan 28, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,085 views

    If the pardon issued is not accepted, it is invalid, you must accept it before it has value.

    When does a Pardon have Value? Luke 15:1-10, The sheep was lost because it may have foolishly wandered away; the coin was lost through no fault of its own. The neighbors and friends were called because the lost was found; the valued was back in their hands. Luke 15: 11-24 These are parables that ...read more
