Contributed by Larry Wilson on Aug 30, 2011

Sermon one of the series. None of us seek after God in Salvation. The Bible is clear. God seeks us. But in our fellowship with Him, we may drift. In such times Jeremiah's words apply. You will find me when you search for me with all your heart. In this se

A Detailed, Multi-Part Look At Biblical Marriage And Divorce Series

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Sep 20, 2019

Second, only to a personal relationship with God, marriage is the single most important relationship that a Born-Again Christian will ever have.

Marriage is the most HOLY thing they will ever do. Marriage is about living in harmony, commonality, and agreement, which is impossible without both partners being Born-Again (See 2 Cor 6:14-7-2). It should be entered into just like the High Priest entering into the Holy of Holies - with reverent ...read more

Last Sunday was Easter Morning, people all over the world gathered to celebrate the resurrection of Christ and all that means to us. Today I want to talk about what happened next. Because usually in church we go from talking about Jesus resurrection, Easter, to Jesus Ascension into Heaven, which ...read more

Fellowshipping With The Father And The Son - Part 7

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Jul 30, 2020

John wanted his readers to stop denying their sin and to start confessing their sins.

(1 John 1:8 NKJV) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. John didn't want his readers to be led astray by the Gnostic heresy of sinless perfection. Last time we learned that the fact is, we do sin, and continue to say we have no sin is a sign of ...read more

The Problem & Solution To Sin Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Feb 18, 2013

Sin is one of those things we don't want to talk about or face. But it is the central problem facing us every day. There is a solution, but it starts with facing sin head on.

In Psalm 38, David is greatly afflicted from sin. I think this psalm really reveals to us how deeply David felt about sin—and it offers hope for us who also feel that guilt deep in our souls—that God our Savior is always there to forgive the humble in heart. 1 – 2 Here in ...read more

Mercy Given And Received

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Mar 29, 2020

While becoming merciful is not easily attainable, from Jesus’ words we learn that mercy grows best in the fertile souls of the poor in spirit, those who mourn, the meek, and those who hunger and thirst for righteousness sake.

A Hard Question

Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 19, 2024

Have you ever asked a hard question? Have you ever been asked a hard question? Hard questions have to be answered sometimes. The question I ask today must be answered.

I have often said, “Questions are healthy.” Usually when we ask a question it is out of concern. We desire to know. We desire to be informed. We desire to learn. At times, we question in the midst of confusion. In the midst of trials and misunderstandings we cry out to God for answers, for help. ...read more

Why Yonah Ran (Jonah 4:1-11) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 24, 2022

Finally, we learn why Yonah ran from the Word of Yahweh, and first chose death over life. Should God give people a chance to repent? Is it wrong, for God to show mercy? And if God did the right thing, who will be Yonah?

Let's start today by simply rereading Jonah 3. We need to get sucked back into our story, and there's no easier way to do it, than to just read it (NRSV updated): 3 The word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying, 2 “Get up, go to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim to it the ...read more

Confession Of Sin

Contributed by James R. Rice on Feb 6, 2014

Confession of sin is an absolute necessity to restore fellowship between God and His children. However, many confess their sins, but receive no forgiveness. The message reveals different types of confessions.

CONFESSION OF SIN 1 Samuel 15:24 A. Our text consists of three words: “I have sinned.” 1. This statement is found seven times in the Bible and they are arranged so as to cover, as nearly as possible, the whole field of sin. 2. The three sweetest words in the English language are ...read more
