Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Sep 5, 2025

Do we have our own idolatry that needs to be confronted?

Let’s look at Acts 17. When Paul preached in Thessaloniki how many came to faith in Jesus as Messiah? Then they ...read more

Make Paul's Joy Complete By Being Like-Minded, Having The Same Love Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 8, 2018

Now Matter Who Wins, You Will Lose

Contributed by Joel Smith on Oct 30, 2008

This sermon is a relentless drum beat of negativity concerning America’s political predicament with a brief flicker of hope at the end. Theme: Demigods disappoint and enslave.

In the early days of our Republic pastors would set aside the Sunday before election day to preach a sermon about the coming vote. In those days they would name names and tell the congregation who to vote for. Now, thanks to a 1954 law, churches can no longer speak out in the same way. If they ...read more

Are You Imprinted? Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Mar 10, 2014

It’s really encouraging when you get good news about something, isn’t it? The Apostle Paul has gotten some really good news about the people living in Ephesus. The gospel first reached Ephesus in Acts 19. The people he met had been baptized into John’s baptism. They had incomplete ...read more
