Psalm 139 Series

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Mar 12, 2020

God sees all and knows all. That can cause us to feel either threatened or comforted. The best response is that of David, "lead me." It is far better to be led by the one who sees and knows everything, even our own thoughts.

For Sermon Central researchers: I have posted a series of 15 sermons on the Psalms. In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated. I had too often swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as ...read more

I have only listed the points and a couple of comments under each point of each sermon to give the preacher a remembrance which the Holy Spirit can lead on and speak through the man of God.

Forgive Us Our Debts - Matthew 6:12 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Sep 15, 2024

Sermon # 12 - God's Grace And Man's Responsibility Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 15, 2024

God’s grace and His justice are like two sides of the same coin. Both go hand in hand and if we underplay one or overplay the other, we will err and miss out on God’s eternal reward. The life of Lot and his family will help us understand this better.

We read in Genesis 19:16, When Lot still hesitated, the angels seized his hand and the hands of his wife and two daughters and rushed them to safety outside the city, for the LORD was merciful. (NLT) Most of us are familiar with the incident of the destruction of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. ...read more
