    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Nov 6, 2023
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,280 views

    This sermon explores "Godfidence," the concept of placing our utmost trust and confidence in God, rather than in earthly authorities or ourselves.

    So good to see you all here today. We're about to get into a topic that's a little different, but one that's going to make a whole lot of sense once we get going. We're talking about "Godfidence" today. Now you might be wondering, "What's this Godfidence thing?" Well, hang tight, we're going to get ...read more

     | 75 views

    True freedom is found in honoring God with our bodies, embracing His loving authority, and living as temples of the Holy Spirit.

    Friends, take a deep breath of grace today. You are seen. You are loved. You are wanted by the God who fashioned you—mind, heart, and body. He cares about all of you, and He cares right now. For some of us, the word body brings a flurry of feelings—shame from the past, confusion from the present, ...read more

    From Rags To Riches Series

    Contributed by Donald Mcculley on Jun 10, 2019
     | 5,905 views

    Introduction: Everyone likes a “from rags to riches” story. If you are a child of God then this text is “your story”! Paul boldly declares our riches (richness) in Christ. Let’s go to the ATM (Almighty Treasure Mine) and find out what the balance is in our account.

    The book of Ephesians is a goldmine full of great, grand and glorious truths. It has been called “The Queen of the Epistles”. “The Alps of the New Testament” and “The Third Heaven Epistle”. Curtis Vaughn says “It is considered by many people to be the greatest of Paul’s writings.” F.W. Farrar ...read more

    Paul's Sermon At Athens: The Evidence Of A Shepherd's Heart

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 6, 2021
     | 1,952 views

    When Paul arrived in Athens, he was grieved over the rank idolatry of the city with statues and temples dedicated to various gods and goddesses. He knew that the Gospel had to be proclaimed. Souls hung in the balance. This is the heart of a man of God and the example we need to follow today.

    When Paul arrived in Athens to wait for Silas and Timothy to join him, he looked around the city and did not marvel at the beauty of the city's temples or the culture or anything typical of a tourist's curiosity. If he were to be classified as a "sightseer", the sights he saw ...read more

    What you always wanted to know, but were too afraid to ask! Powerful and balanced Bible sermon on the misunderstood topic of healing. Sometimes it takes greater faith to still believe in a healing God - and die, than it does to be healed! PP Slides avail.

    (Note: I’m sure some of this material is gleaned from Willow Creek - I remembered some of the illustrations from decades ago - before I was a full time pastor.)

    The first step on the road to blessing and refreshment is to admit you are morally bankrupt. When you check the bank balance of your moral power to do right and to be right, you must admit to yourself there are insufficient funds and you are morally overd

    This sermon looks at the damage done by substance abuse. With numerous biblical stories about alcohol abuse followed up by the need to put our trust in Jesus, it balances modern statistics with solid biblical teaching. It also covers matters such as illeg

    The Gospel: Love Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Nov 23, 2015
     | 5,833 views

    It is wrong when freedom is abused. Love is what balances grace. Spiritual liberty is not a license to indulge the sinful nature. Rather it is a call to serve one another in love. It was for freedom that Christ set you free. You were called to be free.

    There was a woman who was married to a domineering husband that demanded her to follow a list of duties. His demands were full of regulations and the marriage was drudgery for that woman. Her husband died and she later remarried. This time her marriage was based on love. It was not like the one ...read more

    The Desire To Do Good

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Apr 10, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,705 views

    We are called by Jesus to offer cups of cold water to the widows, poor and fatherless of this world but how is a believer to balance this command with also being good stewards of God's resources? For instance are we called to give to the takers of this world and if so in what manner?

    As long as churches, schools, post offices, and government buildings are perceived as “soft-targets,” assailants who are intent on killing as many people as possible will continue to attack such places. Now is not the time to reject the teachings of Jesu

    Are You Packin’ An elderly lady declared, “No one would ever carry a gun in our church!” These words were heard by a pastor of a mid-size church in a rural community.
