    Keep Shining

     | 3,456 views

    Paul reminds us that as new born-again-baptized people, we are new creatures in Jesus Christ who are called to exemplify His light in our living and witness, walking as Gods children of light (Ephesians 5:8).

    Ephesians 5:8-14  for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light  (9)  (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true),  (10)  and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord.  (11)  Take no ...read more

    How do you think it must have taken Saul by surprise to think that he was doing the Lord a favor persecuting Christians when he got chastised by the Lord Jesus Christ?

    Vetting S(P)aul Text: Acts 9: 1 -15 Act 9:1-15  Meanwhile Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest  (2)  and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way, men or women, ...read more

     | 766 views

    This message is going to challenge you to appreciate the generosity of God’s grace. The grace of God is a radical and scandalous gift that levels the spiritual playing field.

    THE SCANDAL OF GRACE November 24, 2024 Dr. Bradford Reaves Crossway Christian Fellowship Matthew 20:1-16 Today we're going to take a look at a parable that I rarely hear a sermon preached about. It's not one of the most popular parables because it strikes at the heart of our sense of ...read more

    C.S. Lewis once said, “No man knows how bad he is until he has tried to be good.” This is the essence of Paul’s message in Romans 7:14-25:

    “The Harsh Task Master” C.S. Lewis once said, “No man knows how bad he is until he has tried to be good.” This is the essence of Paul’s message in Romans 7:14-25: 14.

    "Dissatisfied With Satisfaction"

    Contributed by Ray Scott on May 24, 2004
    based on 28 ratings
     | 7,427 views

    In this sermon on "The Pearl Of Great Price", we see that if God is dissatisfied with our Christian life, we should also be dissatisfied with it. Dissatisfaction isn’t a bad thing, but a good thing.

    “Dissatisfied With Satisfaction” Matthew 13:45-46 INTRODUCTION: This morning we are going to take a look at the parable that Jesus gives on “The Pearl Of Great Price”. Jesus doesn’t explain the parable. I want us to look at it in 2 ways … the INTERPRETATION … AND … the APPLICATION. Matthew ...read more

    What is the appropriate response to bad leadership, or people that you have to correct that are older or younger than you? Find out - along with how Paul told Timothy to treat widows on the church payroll.

    Paul gives Timothy some pastoral advice on how to treat various groups in the body of Christ: older and younger men, older and younger women, widows - and then elders. Finally he gives Timothy some very personal advice. It’s possible that these two groups - widows and elders - were the focus of ...read more

    It is so easy to become discouraged in our world, especially with the steady flow of bad news coming from the world around us, this sermon shows why the Christian has a supply of everlasting encouragement

    EVERLASTING ENCOURAGEMENT (All me sermons use illustrations from sermoncentral.com and all scripture is NIV unless otherwise noted) How many times in life do we feel the weight of discouragement?

    God speaks to me of recompense not vengeance, punishment but not cruelty, deterring crime and not accepting bad behaviour. As I love and serve Him I take on His character and I can be just and fair.

    Exodus 21 - An Eye for an Eye Exodus 21 is where Israel is given instructions regarding slaves, violence and restitution. You won’t believe some of the things that are covered here, from buying slaves to an ox falling accidently in a ditch. Rules and regulations. This is where we come across those ...read more

    Recognizing What Time It Is

    There is nothing so fulfilling as good timing, nothing so embarassing as bad timing. Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem was wonderful for some, judgment time for others. What time is it for us? (MLK assassination anniversary)

    There is nothing quite so fulfilling as good timing. And nothing quite so embarrassing as bad timing. They say that the secret in being a comedian is good timing. Well, the secret in living is good timing. Quite a few years ago, a young lady in whom I was more than slightly interested had to be ...read more

    Some scholars have said that Hezekiah started out good and then went bad. I think that’s a short sighted description of a man who was not that much different than we are.

    OPEN: A man spoke of one of the most challenging courses he’d had at his college as being a business law class in which the professor gave difficult true/false tests. "During one of the more exasperating exams, I noticed another student flipping a coin. The professor approached him. ’Son are you ...read more

    The opening words suggest that this psalm is an appeal for help during bad times when evil men dominate. There are times when sin seems rampant, sweeping all before it like a tidal wave.

    March 3, 2014 Tom Lowe Psalm 12 Title: To the chief Musician. Upon the Sheminith*, A Psalm of David. *Sheminith (eighth), a musical term found in the title of (Psalms 6:1). A similar direction is found in the title of (Psalms 12:1) Comp. 1Chr 15:21. It seems most probable that Sheminith denotes ...read more
