    Contributed by Jonathan Meyer on Nov 15, 2017
     | 12,241 views

    Jesus speaks of our need to prepare for His return. We are encouraged to live lives of worship and devotion to God as we watch and wait for the Bridegroom. (This is part of our lectionary-based series for November 2017, "BE the Church.")

    Last Sunday we had a gender reveal party to find out if we’re having a boy or a girl in April. I was so convinced it was a boy, based on how different the first trimester had been this time around. But then, with friends gathered around, we popped a large black balloon with question marks all over ...read more

    During these 2019 South African elections, many Christians have fought for a righteous government. Hoping that a Christian Party will have more significant support and hence greater influence on lobbying faith-based Judeo-Christian values and policies.

    Fearless Campaign Week 3 Series

    Contributed by Brian Harrell on Oct 16, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,624 views

    This is based on Max Lucado’s Fearless campaign week 3. The fear of disappointing God, being unforgiven, God remembering your sins. We are fully and freely forgiven, adopted, and can silence the voice of condemnation.

    Fearless #3 The Fear of Disappointing God A discussion I’ve often heard, a question often asked is: what is the unforgivable sin? When is that we cross the line and can’t come back? Is there a time when God is finished with us and we are beyond saving? Why do people ask that? Because we are ...read more

    Hell: The Literal View Vs. Non-Literal Views

    Contributed by Donn Heinrich on Feb 11, 2002
    based on 30 ratings
     | 7,854 views

    This sermon is based on a study of several books by authors who hold to a variety of views on the doctrine of Hell. Please note that the format of this website does not enable me to include footnotes where they were originally placed in the sermon. Howe

    In contemporary Christianity, many questions have arisen as to the reality of hell. While the Bible teaches a literal view of an eternal hell, there has been a widespread embrace of anything but a literal view. There has been much speculation about what the Bible actually teaches about nature and ...read more

    God will examine our hearts as well as our actions, and will judge us fairly based on how we lived this life. So let’s look at these verses in Romans 2 and see if we’re ready for Payday.

    Payday Is Coming! Romans 2:6-16 Intro: A pastor of a small church once received the following letter signed by “A Faithful Member”: Dear Pastor: You often stress attendance at worship as being very important for a Christian, but I think a person has a right to miss Sunday worship ...read more

    Prophecy Conference

    Contributed by Steven Spillman on May 2, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,925 views

    This was a prophecy conference. At prophecy conferences people talk about what hasn’t happened yet, but what they believe will happen based on what they think the Bible says about what will happen, held up to the light of what’s happening now.

    Elaine and I were out all of last week at an “equipping the saints” conference. It wasn’t really named “equipping the saints,” but you know what I mean. It was a conference for Christians by Christians, with subject matter focused on a particular facet of the faith. This one was about “prophecy.” ...read more

    Consequences Of Disobedience

    Contributed by Victor Nazareth on Aug 20, 2002
    based on 228 ratings
     | 36,979 views

    Based on Saul’s partial obedience in destroying the Amalekites we look at the causes and consequences of disobedience in our own lives. God expects total obedience. Partial obedience is equivalent to disobedience.

    Introduction: The first King of Israel faced disastrous consequences because he failed to obey God. The hardening of his heart and his casual attitude to the sin of partial obedience caused him to be rejected as King. He lost his kingdom and eventually lost his life. As we analyze the reasons ...read more

    Jesus’ values were based on loving the Lord with all of one’s heart, soul, strength and mind. (Luke 10:27) The Pharisees’ values were rooted in their traditions and their religious laws

    How Jesus’ Life and Ministry Contrasted With the Pharisaical Religious Leaders Illustration:The trouble oftentimes with religious people is that they try to be more spiritual than God himself.

    This message is based on the parable of the persistent widow. It’s a call to prayer. It was written as the Iraqi crisis completed the first week. It concludes with directives on how to pray for our troops and our nation.

    Living on a Prayer Dr. Marty Baker / Luke 18:1-8 / March 23, 2003 Sometimes I struggle with prayer. I wonder if God can really hear me? Am I getting through?

    Experience Pure Love Series

    Contributed by Keith Manry on May 18, 2004
    based on 13 ratings
     | 3,797 views

    Part 1 of a series based on Mel Gibson’s film "The Passion of the Christ." Portions of this sermon were derived from sermons given by Sermon Central designed with the same intent.

    Experience The Passion… Part 1: “Experience Pure Love” Isaiah 53:1-12 It’s a blood-fest. In fact, it’s probably one of the most violent films that’s ever been made. Full of disturbing images of evil and horrific scenes of brutality it’s stirred up more controversy than any other film since “The ...read more

    This is a 2-part sermon for Ash Wednesay based on Joel. This was used in a service with the imposition of ashes, a worship service which stressed repentance. The 2 parts are: The Sinner Repents, The Lord Relents.

    Responding To The Da Vinci Code Series

    Contributed by Freddy Fritz on May 20, 2006
    based on 11 ratings
     | 4,240 views

    It turns out that very little of The Da Vinci Code is based on history. This sermon examines only two issues: (1) The Truth about the Scriptures, and (2) The Truth about Jesus’ Deity.

    Scripture Dan Brown’s novel, The Da Vinci Code, has sold some 43 million copies, making it the biggest-selling adult novel in history. With the release of the movie adaptation of the book on May 19, interest in this controversial tale has risen substantially. A new nationwide survey by The Barna ...read more
