    The Christians Relation To The World

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Aug 2, 2022

    In our world today, a different viewpoint is being formed as to the Christians relationship to the world and the world system. It's not based on what the Bible teaches, but it's based on the opinions and ideas of man

    In our world today, a different viewpoint is being formed as to the Christians relationship to the world and the world system. It's not based on what the Bible teaches, but it's based on the opinions and ideas of man. And most of them not even saved, and if they are, have very little if any ...read more

    In these sermon we will unpack a very familiar passage in Philippians 3 and discover 2 things that if we embrace and keep striving to live out, this year can be different... forgetting what is behind and pressing on to what is ahead.

    These Three Things #ThisYearCouldBeDifferent 700 years before Jesus put on flesh and invaded our planet, GOD breathed the following words through the prophet Isaiah… to a people who… • Had seen better days • Experienced great suffering • Lost hope • In many ways had no one to blame for their ...read more

    Vessels Of Honor

     | 52,541 views

    Paul spoke of various vessels within a great house. We are all vessels, belonging to the Master. Each vessel is different, and yet each has potential and is expected to be of use. We are either a vessel of honor or dishonor.

    Vessels of Honor 2 Timothy 2: 19-23 Much like the Lord, Paul was a master of using ordinary illustrations to reveal significant truth. Our text today is yet another example of Paul’s unique and memorable imagery. Knowing the need for committed service, along with the struggle to remain pure and ...read more

    The Perceptive Art Of A Receptive Heart Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 18,868 views

    What's the main difference between the people who have hard hearts, shallow hearts, crowded hearts, and the one who has an open heart? The person with the open heart hears it and does it.

    INTRODUCTION Here’s Bob and here’s Jerry. They’re both in Celebration Worship at Green Acres listening to the Pastor. They’ve both been Christians for over twenty years. But there’s a big difference between Bob and Jerry. During the message, Bob has his Bible open and he’s taking notes. He ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,347 views

    A wandering from a direct route. A different path. Unexpected turns and obstacles. What do you do when your life takes you down a path for which you didn’t plan?

    Detours Pt. 1 – Detour Decisions I know we all have pet peeves. There are certain things that push your buttons and cause your perfect day to become your worst day. I have buttons! I am an ordered person. In other words, I like to travel the same route every day. I don’t like to alter from that ...read more

    Sardis: Socially Active But Spiritually Dead

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 3, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,530 views

    Sardis was the fifth church Jesus addressed in the Revelation. While the letter was shorter than the others, this one was the most severe. Apparently, Sardis has assimilated into the culture - with little difference known between the church and the world.

    Sardis: Socially Active but Spiritually Dead Revelation 3: 1-6 As we continue to examine the churches to whom John sent letters, we come to the fifth – the church at Sardis. Of the seven, the message to Sardis was the most severe. They were content to rely on prior works and a reputation from the ...read more

    Intelligent Design Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 1, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 22,124 views

    The Bible makes it clear that - not only IS there an intelligent designer - but that even unrighteous men are made aware of that by what God has made. How can we know that is true, and what difference can it make in our witness?

    OPEN: A young skeptic returned from his 1st semester at college and visited elderly Bible teacher who’d invited him over for a meal. He hadn’t been at college long, but he’d been there long enough for the professors to destroy his faith. So as she fixed a meal, he felt he needed to inform her of ...read more

    based on 23 ratings
     | 29,519 views

    There are at least 3 different Greek words translated "doubt" in the New Testament, but the doubt Thomas exhibited was the most dangerous form of doubt in Scripture. What was Thomas doubting, and why was it so dangerous for him to do so?

    Does anyone know who Kirsten Powers is? (A few hands went up). Kirsten is a columnist for USA Today, and Newsweek and a contributor to Fox News.

    The Easiest Way To Miss Out On Heaven

    Contributed by Larry Moyer on Aug 5, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,277 views

    This message addresses common reasons unbelievers give of why they will not trust Christ. It also explores the difference between a "good reason" and an "excuse," and we find that most of these "good reasons" non-believers give are just "excuses."

    I am well aware that one of the problems people have with speakers like me is that they often wonder if they are actually real human beings. I once read of a little girl who was taken to church for the first time ever. The child was struck by the solemness of the occasion. And after several moments ...read more

     | 6,812 views

    Here’s a different look at the parable of the lost son from Luke 15. It’s a narrative sermon that focuses not as much on the lost son, but more on the rest of the story...the older brother’s reaction.

    The Older Brother 2/24/2008 AM By Matt Stidham for the Whitewright Church of Christ I’d like to begin by telling you a story this morning. This story is a pretty common family story...while you’re listening to this story, some of you might be able to think of a family you know that could very ...read more

    In this lesson, we see Elijah stand all alone against the prophets of Baal and Asherah. We learn many things from Elijah's example, including the difference one person can make.

    Introduction: A. The story is told of a man who was solo skydiving for the very first time. 1. He had taken all the lessons and now it was time for his first solo jump. 2. He leapt out of the plane and as he was falling he panicked and couldn’t remember how to open his parachute. 3. As he ...read more

    The message today is based on a book written by Thom Rainer, titled, “I am A Church Member.” Thom is the President of Lifeway resources and spends a great deal of time researching all different kinds of churches!

    Good morning. Last week Pastor Steve talked a little bit about how we all have our preferences when it comes to where we sit. Personally I sit in a different spot most weeks… And I have met lots of great neighbors. Sometimes though I wonder how YOU feel when one of the pastors sits with you. ...read more

    all the spiritual gifts are given by the Holy Spirit and is the only source of all the spiritual gifts. This passage also teaches us that the Holy Spirit distributes different gifts to each believer. The gifts are distributed to individuals who are Sp

    The Golden Hour

    Contributed by Troy Brewer on Dec 19, 2002
    based on 24 ratings
     | 8,132 views

    The timing of ministry is just as important as the actual ministry itself. The term Golden hour is used my emergency workers to refer to the small window of opportunity they have to make a difference in saving someone’s life.

    "The Golden Hour" "There are a small group of people around the world in civilized countries that serve the public day in and day out and perform their duties, sometimes uncompensated, without reservation to all injured and sick people!" These men and women of all ages, race, creed and color ...read more

    There are so many different barriers that can separate us from each other. As believers, we should be one in Christ which should also help us break down some of the barriers that separate.

    Introduction- Isn’t God good? We as believers in America have opportunity to gather in a place of worship and lift up the name of Jesus without someone busting down the door- At least today. We have a God who not only wants to save us, but a God who wants to deliver us, protect us, dwell with us. ...read more
