Sermons on Because Of Remission:

Showing Up For The Battle Is Not Enough!

Contributed by David Wilson on Jul 30, 2012

The Israelites show up for Battle but are delayed because they allow Goliath to define the terms of battle. God's people need to get into the valley because it isn't fought on the hillside.

Showing Up For Battle I Samuel 17 Preached on Sunday, July 29, 2012 This is one of the most difficult sermons I have ever had to preach. I thought it would be Wednesday evening’s Bible Study, but the Lord would not let me escape preaching it on Sunday morning. The story found in ...read more

Did You Pull Back? Sermon By Joseph Ondu

Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Nov 23, 2023

Uriah did not die because he could not handle the intensity of the battle, but he died because of the negligence of those who were supposed to support him in the battle zone.

In the letter he wrote, “Put Uriah in the front lines where the fighting is the fiercest._Then pull back and leave him exposed so that he’s sure to be killed." 2 Samuel 11:14-15 The word here is "Then ...read more

Our Lord And Our Land Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 22, 2021

Paul was proud to be a Roman citizen. It was not because the empire was perfect, but because his citizenship gave him rights that were vital to his personal dignity, and to his service for God.

Human rights is a major issue in our world today, but it is not a new issue. Even under the Roman Emperor men had rights and they were precious. The Apostle Paul was unjustly arrested. He was about to be beaten when he calmly asked the Roman Centurion in charge if it was lawful to scourge a man ...read more

Moms Are Unsung Heroes Series

Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on May 5, 2021

Moms are indeed unsung heroes because much of what a mother does is unnoticed by others.  That is natural because much of what a mother does is behind the scenes. 

Introduction If you have done any reading in the Old Testament, you will come across those passages of Scripture, where the writer begins telling us that so and so begot this one and so and so begot that one. We don't see that in the New Testament except in the very beginning of the Gospel of ...read more

A New Future Series

Contributed by Stephen Sheane on Jul 4, 2021

Because of Easter we have a new future. How do we know that the resurrection is true? Because of the external testimony,. the empty tomb, the expensive toll and everlasting transformation.

EASTER – A NEW FUTURE Does anyone have a cross necklace on right now? Have you ever thought about what the cross really is? Originally the cross was a tool Rome used to execute its criminals.

The Forbidden Chapter Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 2, 2024

Jews don't read Isaiah 53 in the Synagogue anymore. Why not? Is it because of what they don't understand in that chapter, or because of what they do?

Many people refer to Isaiah 53 as being the “forbidden chapter” of the Bible! For centuries, Jewish synagogues would include this chapter in their yearly readings. But not anymore. Today when Jewish people read Isaiah 52 in the Synagogue, they stop before they get to end of the chapter (at verse ...read more

Servants Of The Word

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 4, 2019

Luke says we're to be "servants" of the Word, not be critics of it or think we're over it. WHY? Because the Word of God is Divine/Eternal, because it's superior to us, and because it is the final authority. The Bible is the embodiment of knowledge and truth.

SERVANTS OF THE WORD Luke 1:1-4 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: PEOPLE THINK THEY KNOW THE BIBLE 1. Did you hear the story about the lady who was talking to her friend and brought up the Bible. Her friend said, “Oh don’t start trying to tell to me about the Bible; my parents had me read it every day. I’m ...read more
