God Is For Us! Series

Contributed by David Owens on Nov 11, 2019

Paul ends Romans 8 with an amazing crescendo that helps us have great confidence in God as our protector, defender and keeper.

Introduction: A. How many of you remember the Tom and Jerry cartoons? 1. Tom, the cat, was always trying to catch and eat, Jerry, the mouse. 2. The series was rather silly, predictable, and filled with slapstick violence. 3. In one of the cartoon stories, Jerry rescued Spike, the bulldog, from ...read more

Sentence Pronounced On Cain Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Sep 1, 2018

The Lord Is With You

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 12, 2015

In this passage, it almost seems like Peter is heavily focused on persecution of the Christians he's writing to... and then he just switches gears and talks about something totally unrelated. It seems that way, but it's not.

OPENING: When I asked you to turn to I Peter 3:13 this morning, did you realize that about 800 years ago… you couldn’t have done that? Do you know WHY you couldn’t have turned to I Peter 3 back then? Because there were no chapter divisions. That didn’t happen until 1227, ...read more

Four Seasons of Life – Part 1 Scripture: Genesis 8:20-22; Matthew 24:12; Ecclesiastes 4:9-11 On Monday September 28th I was drinking my coffee on my deck and just thinking about life and the changes of the seasons.
