Who Are You?

Contributed by Larry Turner on Oct 9, 2014

The identity of the Holy Spirit can be misunderstood at times. This sermon deals with the Holy Spirit identifying himself.

There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding about the Holy Spirit, who He is, and what his role is. We have a rather clear understanding of God, the Heavenly Father and Jesus, our Savoir. However the Holy Spirit can become controversial in his role. First of all the Holy Spirit is a real person. ...read more

Loving God & Loving People

Contributed by Matt Skiles on Jul 24, 2023

It is important to really focus on the question that Jesus was asked. "Which is the great commandment in the law?" Jesus said, “Love God. Love your neighbor.” He then states that all the law hangs on these two commandments.

Matthew 22:34-40-“But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” 37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the LORD your God ...read more

Contributed by Byron Sherman on Aug 29, 2023

1 of 2. Luke assured Theophilus of the validity of his faith, because his faith was based on fact. Likewise, readers of Luke’s gospel can be certain of their faith. But What historical assurances are offered/gained thru Luke’s Gospel? Luke’s Assurance offers us Historical...

Job's Wife Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 1, 2021

No woman in history has been so severely condemned for so few words. She only steps on the stage for a moment, and she utters about ten words. On the basis of those few words she has been psychoanalyzed by preachers and scholars, and they have concluded, she was to Job what Judas was to Jesus.

Because of his great novel, War and Peace, Leo Tolstoy became one of the most famous Russians that ever lived. His fame and fortune did not bring him happiness, however, because of his wife. They were about as compatible as a porcupine and a bubble. She loved luxury, and he hated it. She loved ...read more

Make Sure You Are On The Lord's Side

Contributed by Perry Greene on Aug 12, 2021

Following Jesus is more than getting him on our side to cheer for our "team." It is making sure our "team" is on his side. That takes preparation.

Preparations: I read that in April, 1988 the evening news reported on a photographer who was also a skydiver. He had jumped from a plane along with several other skydivers and filmed the group as they individually dove out of the plane and opened their parachutes. As the video was being shown of ...read more

Spiritual Warfare: Not Having Enough Power

Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 29, 2021

The nine disciples had insufficient power to deliver the boy who had a spirit. I believe that many Christians would also fail this test. Why? We need a bigger connection to the Holy Spirit by prayer and fasting.

SPIRITUAL WARFARE: NOT HAVING ENOUGH POWER Mark 9:14-29 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A man bought a new Tesla Roadster. He had two sons. One of them asked him, “Dad, if you die, who will inherit your new Tesla?” 2. He pondered the question & said, “If I pass away on an even day, the son born ...read more

The Census And The Plague

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 16, 2021

In 2020 the U.S. conducted a Census - the same year of the pandemic. In wondering if there is a correlation between the census and the plague, I began searching the Scriptures, and I think you’ll be surprised as to what I found out.

I’ve entitled our message this morning, “The Census and the Plague.” This is the year of the United States 2020 Census. This is also the year of a global pandemic known as the Corona Virus and Covid 19; and I’ve been contemplating for quite some time the irony of how we actually had a pandemic ...read more
