    Going On A Little Further

    Contributed by Rick Pendleton on May 20, 2008

     | 7,574 views

    Being saved is not the end of the process. Being pleasing to god requires us to pass through the gate of salvation... and then go further. This sermon discussed the other gates we must pass through.

    Going on… A little further. Matthew 26:36-45 This morning I want to speak to you about something very important… going deeper in your spiritual life. As always our example is Jesus. He went a little further than the old law required. "You have heard it said, but I say..." The requirements ...read more

    Kingdom Of Heaven [part 3] Series

    As individuals and as a church where do we stand when it comes to being the leaven? Are we pursuing to build a strong communion with Jesus Christ or being lured by the leaven of legalism, liberalism and materialism?

    Introduction: This passage/verse may seem tricky because that was doubtless the reaction of the disciples when they heard this little story. Our Lord arrested them with this story and shocked them somewhat. When he told them that there was a woman who hid leaven in three measures of meal they must ...read more

    Guidelines For Christianity: Blessed Are The Pure In Heart Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 26, 2015
     | 5,168 views

    Purity isn’t just being clean; it’s being single-minded and intentionally focused. In this instance, God wants us to be focused on His kingdom and righteousness.

    Tonight we’re going to look at the next attitude Jesus said we’re to have as His disciples. – “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” I wonder what that means, for they shall see God. Remember we said that “Blessed” means happy. We ...read more

    Do Not Envy

     | 7,686 views

    What happens to us so many times is we look around at other people and they are not living right, they are rude, selfish, and disobedient to God and to the laws of this Country but they are being successful, being prosperous!

    Psalm 37:1-7-A Psalm of David. Do not fret because of evildoers, Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity. 2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb. 3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. 4 Delight yourself ...read more

    Obey The Gospel

    Contributed by David Owens on Mar 6, 2019
     | 7,947 views

    How does a person become a Christian? When is the moment when they move from being lost to being saved? What is the Gospel? How does a person "obey the gospel"?

    A. I want to start with a true story: Jorge Rodriquez was new to our country and did not speak English. 1. He had no lawyer the day he appeared in court for hitting a parked car while driving drunk. 2. He went before the judge with what he thought was his “trump card.” 3. Rodriquez approached ...read more

    Core 52 Week 3 - The Fall Series

    Contributed by Lanny Smith on Mar 2, 2020
     | 2,155 views

    What's our problem? At its foundation, it's being lost. Being in a fallen world. Choosing rebellion over faith and obedience. But God has an answer.

    This common reason for not coming to church shows two fundamental misunderstandings: 1) what is a Christian and 2) what is church. Help someone see that being a Christian means being part of a church.

    People are not going to church as much as they used to. I could give you the statistics, but I don’t think that I need to because you’ve probably personally observed or experienced it yourself. You may have seen it with your own family members, your co-workers, your friends, in the conversations ...read more

    Counting The Cost

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jun 23, 2022
     | 2,606 views

    Jesus did not sugarcoat it when He was pointing out that following Him would not be a bed of roses! Being a disciple could not be and cannot be taken lightly because being a disciple is to be totally committed!

    COUNTING THE COST Text: Luke 9:57 -62 Luke 9:57  As they were going along the road, someone said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go." 58  And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his ...read more

    Who Will Roll Away The Stone? (Easter Sunrise 2015)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Apr 6, 2022
     | 2,026 views

    We seem to need the evidence of the stone being rolled away before we will believe. Is our fear creating distance between who we are and who God wants us to be?

    WHO WILL ROLL AWAY THE STONE? Text: Mark 16:1- 20 Did you notice who saw Jesus first? Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome were wondering who would roll the stone away. That stone can be thought of as a metaphor---a barrier between belief and unbelief. As ...read more

    There are false teachers being used of the Devil to sweep the believers away from the truth of the word of God and the way of eternal Salvation. We are being warned to be careful and to resist such tactics as much as possible.

    Knowing the Lord is closely associated with being strong in life. Beginning from Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Joshua and till the disciples of Jesus Christ, are known for being bold and strong in times of trouble.

    Whether you live today as a victim or warrior, God is beside you to give you assurance for a bright future, if you are willing. The future brightness comes with one condition, that you know the Lord as it should be. Believers as much as they the rites and participation routine of their ...read more

    Single But Not Alone PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 29, 2023
    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,208 views

    This sermon aims to explore and appreciate the blessings and opportunities of singleness as a unique gift from God, emphasizing that being single does not equate to being alone, as we are part of God's vast family.

    Good morning, family. Today's focus is a little bit different but equally important. We have all heard numerous sermons on the joys of marriage, the importance of family, but today we are going to ponder upon the blessings of singleness. We are going to explore the call to dedicated service, even ...read more

    Different Faith: Indications Of A Faithful Follower Series

     | 15,205 views

    This sermon focuses on three indicators that show evidence of progression in our level of faith and walk with our Lord.

    We continue in our series, dare to be different, and this month across our group of churches our focus is different faith. Our faith is based on one simple truth: Jesus Christ died to save us from our sins. When we repent and place our trust in Jesus as Lord and Saviour we are saved by the Grace ...read more

    A Faulty Motive With A Kiss (Maundy Thursday 2023)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Apr 4, 2023
     | 1,477 views

    Why did Judas betray Jesus with a kiss? In that day, a kiss was a way of greeting. Even in some other cultures around the world, kissing is still a way of social greeting.

    A FAULTY MOTIVE WITH A KISS Text: Matthew 26:47 - 56 Matthew 26:47-56  While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived; with him was a large crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the elders of the people.  (48)  Now the betrayer had given them a ...read more

    God, in his Mercies and Compassion, spares, preserves and saves sinners from being consumed by His Wrath. It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed by temporal Judgments.

    THE SPARING MERCY OF GOD “It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3:22-23) Mercy is compassion that forbears ...read more
