Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Feb 6, 2007

Desiring His Word Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Mar 26, 2007

1 Peter 2: 1-3 shows us how believers can live out a proactive love by 1) remembering our life source, 2) eliminate sins, 3) admit need, 4) pursue spiritual growth, and 5) survey blessings.

Legal trials can often be interesting events. The current trial of Conrad Black on fraud charges has made for interesting press. It seems like the international media cannot get enough of what he and his wife will say. They hang on every word. But this is not unusual. From Donald Trump, to Tony ...read more

Riding The Fence Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 1, 2011

More times than we would probably like to admit, we slip into legalism. It can happen when God takes too long to answer a prayer, or answers in a way we don't expect. We take over the reigns, and it's a mistake!

To continue Paul’s arguments against legalism he turns again to a story in the Old Testament. This time it is the children that God promised to Abram. The issue is whether you let God fulfill His promise of righteousness in you, or whether you want to take the controls and do it yourself. ...read more

Contributed by Spencer Miller on Jun 8, 2013

Your dreams are planted deeply within your heart, all of us whether we care to admit it or not have a dream, however, along this journey of life, while hoping and waiting for our dream’s fulfillment, we will face challenges and even discouragement.

1 I will stand upon my watch and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what He will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. 2 And the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision and make it plain upon tablets, that he may run that readeth it. 3 For the vision is yet ...read more

Whatever Happened To Sin?

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Sep 12, 2010

Preachers once preached against sin and God’s people felt the weight of guilt and shame for their sin. In our world today we have a hard time finding someone willing to admit to sinning. The question must be asked “Whatever has happened to sin?”

Whatever Happened to Sin? 1 JOHN 3:1-4 Introduction: President Calvin Coolidge was well-known for being a man of few words, reticent, and straight to the point. There’s a story that after attending church one day, someone apparently asked him what the preacher had preached about. “Sin,” Mr. ...read more

The Problem Of Depression

Contributed by Grant Adams on Apr 10, 2020

Victory In Jesus Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 23, 2016

Far too many believers live defeated lives. The Lord is never pleased when we surrender to our difficulties and admit defeat. Granted we can't overcome within our own ability, but with the help of the Lord, we can live victoriously.

Victory in Jesus 1 John 2: 1-6 As I studied this passage, I was reminded of the relationship John enjoyed with Christ. He was part of the inner circle, one of three that were closest to Jesus. I am convinced Jesus didn’t love those three more than the others, but they were privileged to ...read more

Commissioned

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 30, 2022

Isaiah's perspective on God in the initial four verses gives us a feeling of God's significance, power, and mystery. Isaiah's case of perceiving his sin before God urges us to admit our own wrongdoings.

The image of absolution, that Isaiah gives, advises us that we are pardoned as well. At the point when we perceive how incredible God is, how guilty we are, and the degree of His absolution, we get the strength to accomplish His work. How does our idea of the significance of God match ...read more

Pride And The Wicked Tenants

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Apr 5, 2025

So often we let our pride get in the way from admitting we were wrong, or to see something from another angle. This morning the Pharisees Pride keeps them from acknowledging Jesus for who he is and provide a cautionary tale for us.

Pride and the Wicked Tenants Good Morning. Believe it or not, we are in the final days of Lent! The Scripture lessons from today through Good Friday are all Jerusalem and Temple themed. Today’s especially we focus on a common temple theme of having a right heart and purity when we come before God. ...read more

Real Love

Contributed by Joey Nelson on Feb 18, 2002

Everyone admits that love is wonderful and necessary, yet no one agrees on just what it is. If our songs, movies and poems (as interesting and entertaining to listen to, watch, and read as they are), are any indication, most of us don’t really know what l

Living A Life Of Sexual Purity

Contributed by Paul Fritz on Mar 4, 2008

"Another Beast..." By Dr. Winson Butler

Contributed by Winson Butler on Jun 7, 2005

It’s Time To Stop Pretending Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 3, 2010

We are more like the Pharisees than we would like to admit - hiding our true selves from others and from God and blaming external things for the consequences of our own behavior. But Jesus offers real hope if we will open up to Him in relationship.

The act of projection involves blaming things outside of yourself for your problems. The act of denying personal responsibility means it is the fault of your spouse, your boss, the government, the weather, or even that tool you were using. The Pharisees were masters at projection, and as it turns ...read more

From Humiliation To Honor!

Contributed by Pastor Sam Georgis on Mar 23, 2023

These verses we read, give us the most conspicuous and magnificent of the dogmatic utterances in the New Testament! We see the great sweep of Christ's life from eternity past to eternity future… and we are admitted to the breathtaking purposes of God in our human salvation!

Open your bibles with me to Philippians chapter 2 verses 5-11! Thank you, you may be seated. These verses bring us near to the core of the early Christian faith and early Christian preaching… these verses most certainly are distinctive as they relate to the articles of our Christian Creed, the ...read more
