Sermons on Adultery:

Are You Still Throwing Stones At Others?

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 9, 2020

Let me talk about stones. God requires Christians to take care of each other. Not to pamper people in their wrongs, but to encourage them get back up when they do wrong or fall. We must have that Barnabas Spirit – to be willing to help each other when down.

John 8:1-12: 8 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 Now early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and taught them. 3 Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, 4 they ...read more

Love Your Enemies

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jun 7, 2022

Christ said to love your enemies. That takes His grace and the power of the Holy Spirit to do because it is not in our nature.

It is easy to see that Christians are surrounded by enemies on nearly every side. The irony is that while so-called Christians persecuted the Jews for centuries it is the Israelis who are our biggest friends. True, some of the Ultra-Orthodox may not think kindly of us, but other Jews see us as ...read more

Let No-One Put Asunder

Contributed by Michael Bates on Sep 5, 2023

Christian marriage is sacred. This short sermon describes what the biblical definition of marriage is and what the biblical grounds for divorce are. God hates divorce so therefore divorce should only be the very last option in any marriage.

You probably already know what this mini-sermon is about before I even finish this first sentence. Well, you are right, it's about marriage. Now in this message, I’m talking about the biblical definition and Christian view of marriage, not the secular view and what today’s society wants ...read more

Be Communal, Not Judgmental

Contributed by Ricky Johnson on Sep 4, 2006

A challenge to turn from gossip when something happens in the church family and rather turn to love for support.

“Oh man, Mary Jo’s got the cooties.” “Yeah, I heard she got ‘em from messing around with Billy Bob.” “Ain’t that just the most awful thing you ever heard, I don’t think we should be her friend anymore.” Sounds rather much like grade school doesn’t it? But, that is not necessarily the case. ...read more

Humpty Dumpty

Contributed by John Beehler on Jul 26, 2003

When faced with temptation, run the other way.

Humpty Dumpty I like the Bible. Sure, it seems a given that a person in my position would, but I like it for more than just the obvious reasons. Reasons such as, it’s God’s Word, our directions for living, a history of Christianity. No, I like it for another reason, as ...read more

His Law Cannot Make Him Righteous Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 15, 2018

The Jew trusted his law to be all that he needed and the best education he could get. Thus he boasted in the God who gave that law. There is no doubt that many Jews felt they were immune from God’s judgment.

(8) HIS LAW CANNOT MAKE HIM RIGHTEOUS Romans 2:17-24 17 Indeed you are called a Jew, and rest on the law, and make your boast in God, Indeed you are called a Jew, and rest on the law.

"He Called Them To Have A Holy Heart”

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Mar 13, 2017

Jesus tells us that sin is universal and destructive.

There was a difference in the teaching of Jesus and that of the religious leaders. It is emphasized at the end of the Sermon on the Mount, where we're told, "And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not ...read more

The commandments are listed in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5. There are two tablets of the ten commandments. The first are the God and Man relationship and the second are the man-to-man relationship.

The epic movie The Ten Commandments was one of the most popular movies of all times. The actual ten commandments, well they are not as popular.
