It seems that we have always looked for that super human. Superman, Spiderman, and Bat-man and now we have on TV a hero called the Cape.

Scripture: Hebrews 5:9
This sermon explores how to draw inspiration from the faith of Biblical heroes, specifically Moses' parents, to live out breakthrough faith in today's world.
Good morning, beloved. It's a joy to gather together once again in the house of the Lord, to bask in His presence and to seek His face. We are here to engage with the Word, to let it shape us, mold us, and inspire us to live lives that are pleasing to our Heavenly Father. Today, we turn our hearts ...read more

Why would God use Ravens to feed Elijah. They’re disgusting, unclean, anti-social and cruel birds. Why didn’t God use a simpler and more pleasing way of meeting Elijah’s needs?
OPEN: Years ago I read the story of a man by the name of Wally who owned a farm in Connecticut. He had a remarkable talent he had with birds. Chickadees specifically. It seems that every morning these little birds would flutter down and land on his hands. And it wasn’t just for food; He’d talk ...read more

Denomination: Christian/Church Of Christ
In this message we will examine the beast & the anti-Christ. Understanding the mission of Satan is mandatory for the Christian to evangelize today because people will never know how much you care about their eternity until you invest in them now.
The Beast Revelation, Part 18, Revelation 13:1-10 Introduction - On Wednesday night (plug for Wed) we saw a great application for us: -- WE KNOW THE ENEMIES BATTLE PLAN! - Today, WE have access to God in prayer -- Because of what Jesus did on the cross we have a direct line to ...read more
Scripture: Revelation 13:1-10
Denomination: Evangelical/Non-Denominational
Jesus established His church to be open to all who wanted to worship Him. Why does today's not believe this? As a Jewish convert and pastor I have been on the receiving end of Anti-semitism in church.
Jesus’ attitude and language used in the narrative can be shocking to the reader. How can our Lord and Savior treat anyone in the way He is portrayed in this narrative? The pagan woman was looking for her daughter to be cured. Instead of immediately helping her, He calls her a dog, thus insulting ...read more

Jesus is the means by which we can escape the time when the Anti-Christ rules through violence and demonic power. It will be a time like no other upon the earth. It is a time that is promised to come and we may be very near its start.
Is now a right time to come to God? I recently talked about the Bride of Christ and how we the church will be swooped up and whisked away to a wedding day with Jesus. This event is called the Rapture and we examined it and our place in biblical history and came to realize we are living in a ...read more

The world poses a threat; anti-Christian elements don't understand us; the media often stereotypes us as ignorant or hypocritical. Our response? To withdrawal into our Christian subculture. Jesus said that's NOT the way. We're to be Salt!
DO YOU HAVE SALT? Matt. 5:13 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: GRANDMA’S NICK-NAME 1. We all leave a legacy behind us – a reputation. One girl identified her grandmother's reputation. 2. While eating dessert, nine year old Karen claimed, "Grandma makes the best apple pie in the whole ...read more

Militant anti-theism claims that religion is the root of all evil...yet this worldview presents an intangible definition of evil. The problem with atheism is moral, an excuse to live any way one pleases...while Christianity offers a clear view of life.
“The fool has said in his heart, there is no God,” Psalm 14:1. Jesus warned against lightly calling people fools in Matthew 5:22. “Anyone who says 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of Hell.” A “fool” is not an unintelligent, dim-witted person. The term ...read more

Message 3 of 4 on the Judges. How did timid careful Gideon become a great hero of God? There was a Call, a plan, and a Gift - all from God.
The Verdict on Judges One Ordinary Guy February 19 – Gideon 120,000 Midianites came like a plague of locusts against the Israelites. Gideon raised an army of 32,000 to take them down. He cut down the number to 10,000 and then to 300. He armed them with trumpets, torches and pitchers. They ...read more

Third in a series based on the movie "John" released in 2003. Certain characteristics mark all true heroes. Jesus fits all of those descriptions, and more.
If you like the book, you’ll love the movie. Or is it the other way around? If you liked the movie, you’ll love the book. The truth is that I loved the book (or books) when I read them for the first time in the 1970s. And I loved the movies (two so far) when they came out. Now I’m looking forward ...read more
Scripture: John 9:1-41
Pilate was convinced that Jesus was not worthy of crucifixion, but he compromised and sent Jesus to the cross anyway, and by that choice he went from a hero to a zero in the history of Christianity.
Pilate was appointed procurator of Judea in A.D. 26, which was only about 3 years before the crucifixion of Christ, but already he had so much trouble with the Jews that he despised them. When he first came to Jerusalem he discovered that it was about the only city in the whole Roman Empire that ...read more
Scripture: John 18:28-40
Jesus is the greatest hero in history for the believer, for He was able to win a victory over the greatest enemies of man, and He gained a name that is above every name.
Here is a powerful story of a man who made a great name for himself and left a name that is long remembered. I quote another’s account: “World War II produced many heroes. One such man was Butch O'Hare. He was a fighter pilot assigned to an aircraft carrier in the South Pacific. One day his ...read more
