The Holy Spirit In The Life Of A Christian Series

Contributed by Bill Walker on Feb 7, 2017

The tension between the flesh and the Spirit is tremendous. Too often human pride and independence crowd God's Holy Spirit to the margins of daily thought and action. Unity and evangelism should be the hallmark of our churches today.

THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE LIFE OF A CHRISTIAN Someone has said, “You will never truly know the power of God until you need the power of God.” I think that statement equally applies to God’s Holy Spirit. As we mentioned earlier in this series, too often Christians and ...read more

The Last Message Of Daniel: 6, Looking Like The Antichrist Series

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Jun 7, 2015

Antiochus Epihpanes looks like a man who fits the prototype of the endtime man of sin. These are facts that came to pass already in the days between Greece and Rome. But much of his action looks modern too.

11:29a “At the appointed time he shall return and go toward the south” In 168 is the third invasion of the Sixth War. Some say he had actually placed the crown on the head of Euergetes in the last campaign and is coming this time ostensibly to correct that matter by crowning the ...read more

Contributed by Allan Quak on Apr 30, 2016

Predisposed To Sin And Opposed To Accountability

Contributed by Travis L. Billings on Sep 8, 2019

God has made it abundantly clear to mankind that we are responsible for our own sins and will have to give account to Him for our actions. We need to stop blaming others for what we do.

Ezekiel 18 PREDISPOSED TO SIN AND OPPOSED TO ACCOUNTABILITY That pretty much sums up what the focus on today’s message is. But, so no one feels cheated out of a sermon from The Word of God, I will go ahead and preach. Predisposed is defined as something or someone making someone else liable or ...read more

The Marks Of A Christian - Loyalty

Contributed by Grant Adams on Jan 2, 2020

Loyalty is a devotion and faithfulness to a nation, cause, philosophy, country, group, or person. Loyalty is hard to find. Trust is easy to lose. Actions speak louder than words. Quote taken from Quotling.com

Paul said, “I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.” He was in prison at this time. Chains were about his ankles, but his soul was free. He was a prisoner of Caesar, but he was a free man in Christ Jesus. Christ was his only master. Picture him there in prison, writing this letter to the ...read more

Healing Our Sick Hearts

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 24, 2018

There is, in fact, something in our nature that yearns for the divine, that longs for goodness and beauty and truth. Original sin has wounded us, but only our own deliberate actions can spiritually kill us.

The Character Of A Woman Of Virtue Series

Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Dec 2, 2017

The Proverb 31 is not only about the character of a Godly woman, but wisdom in action. Ruth was called a woman of virtue before she got married as an encouragement to all women. God is looking for the fruit bearing and not charisma.

The Character of a Woman of Strength Text: Proverb 31:10-31 Message: An Excellent Woman The book of Proverb is a very difficult book to draw expository sermon from, because of the didactic or instructive nature and arrangement of the texts. It is also full of parallelism ...read more

Caught In The Spin Cycle Series

Contributed by John Sears on Feb 23, 2012

We have all experienced being caught in the cycle of sin. Moving from thoughts, to actions, to covering it up, to promises not do it again, to repeating it. So how do we break the cycle?

Title: Caught In The Spin Cycle Text: 2 Samuel 11:1-12:13 Introduction Albert Einstein once said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.” He was of course talking about science.

A Lasting Memorial

Contributed by Jerry Flury on May 26, 2013

What caused Christ to declare, “Wherever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she has done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her”? What made her action so lasting?

A Lasting Memorial Mark 14:3-9 Much of what one does in life is quickly forgotten; very little if anything being remembered by subsequent generations. In Mark’s gospel we have the action of a woman, identified in Matthew and John as Mary, which has lasted for scores of generations; a deed which ...read more
