    You Can’t Run Away From Problems Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on May 31, 2009
    based on 8 ratings
     | 12,655 views

    In Ruth 1 1-5 we see the danger of trying to run away from our problems illustrated

    It is an undeniable fact that many of the life’s problems we grapple with in the present are the result of what has happened to us in the past, whether as a result of our own deliberate choices or because of circumstances which were quite beyond our control. The person we are today is a product ...read more

    How did we get the Bible? How do we understand it?

    The Christian Bible forms the measure of our faith. While tradition, reason and experience can contribute in valuable ways to our faith, they are not always the teachings of Jesus, the prophets and apostles. Let’s look at the canon of the Bible. Compiling the Bible over thousands of years is ...read more

    The Power Of A Scandalous Message: Christ Crucified

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Sep 13, 2025
     | 135 views

    This sermon unpacks Paul's deliberate choice to preach "Christ crucified" in weakness, so that the resulting faith of his hearers would be undeniably anchored in the power of God alone.

    Introduction: The Pressure to Impress Good evening, my brothers and sisters. We live in a world that is enchanted by the impressive. We are drawn to charismatic speakers, to brilliant arguments, to polished and professional presentations. From social media to the corporate boardroom, and yes, even ...read more

    Love On One Foot

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Nov 28, 2007

     | 3,125 views

    Jesus sums up God’s laws in a brief statement that says it all: love God, love your neighbor--our duty to God and others. This is law of love...on one foot.

    A young Jewish student went to see a learned Rabbi and posed a challenging question: “Rabbi, can you tell me the essence of the Law while standing on one foot?” The Rabbi got flustered. “What? Give you the essence of the Law while on one foot? I’ve studied the Torah for over fifty years and I ...read more

    The cross is God’s gift of a second chance to us with a guaranteed lifeline. Which of the two criminals that Jesus was crucified with are you like? What will your final answer be to Jesus?

    Is That Your Final Answer? Luke 23:32-43 I am amazed at what becomes popular in our culture sometimes. ABC’s game show "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" became a huge hit about a year and a half ago. Regis Philbin is now a household name.

    We are all builders in Christ, but there is only one foundation. Watch how you build upon it and be rewarded for what remains on the day we face God.

    Let us RECAP THE CONTEXT. • Paul has been addressing the divisions in the Corinth church, honestly and directly. • The believers were taking sides, glorifying certain leaders and human wisdom. • Paul said it clearly in 3:1 “But I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual people, but as people ...read more

    Our culture tells us to always look for the new and improved; the latest is always the greatest. Pastors are always on the lookout for new methods, new gimmicks, and worst of all, new doctrines. The Bible is full of warnings to God’s people that the popul

    You Make Pizza, One Layer At A Time

    Contributed by James Kirkland on Jan 28, 2009
     | 5,111 views

    Our spiritual life must grow as we grow in the Lord. You don’t start with a finished pizza, you must continue to add each layer until you put it in the oven.

    You make Pizza, one layer at a time. Pizza, what a topic to preach about? I suppose that the only real connection we have with pizza and the church is that pizza came from Italy and Paul’s preaching took him to Italy. That is a pretty far stretch, or is it? Ancient Greeks ate flat, baked bread with ...read more

    A sermonette that brings a message of hope, an understanding of what God does for us through Jesus Christ. Psalm One.

    The Psalm’s these ancient songs of praise and lament, joy, love, celebration and sometimes misery are great to reflect upon, great to read as prayers and they contain much wisdom, God given wisdom. In reality we live in the collected knowledge of those who have gone before and we have ...read more
