    #1 Exclusive Faith Series

    Contributed by Norris Harris I on Jan 24, 2003
    based on 34 ratings
     | 7,311 views

    The issue our text addresses is that it insists that Faith in Jesus Christ Excludes Every Other Option. For the fact of the matter is that, for the most part, we only turn to Jesus when we have ran out of options: He’s usually our last option.

    One of the greatest affronts to the majesty of the Master occurs when we ask His help in prayer, and then rely on Something or Someone else in addition. We have this tenacious tendency of using this Jesus/And strategy; Jesus/And… my money, my medicine, my doctor, my parents, my spouse, my friends, ...read more

    Because we are God’s children and because our cross will soon turn into a crown we will be cheerful no matter what our circumstances in life.

    One day the reformer Martin Luther was feeling rather down. The Pope was after him. His colleagues were bickering among themselves. He felt the heavy pressure that came with being a professor, pastor, and father. And he was in excruciating pain from kidney stones. As he moped around the house ...read more

    based on 84 ratings
     | 4,511 views

    This message is how people look for love in places other than the place to find it. It is also how true love promotes faithfulness and forgivenss in our lives.

    Stupid Cupid and the Effect of Love Intro: Society has a warped view of love and how it shows up in our lives. Often love is thought of as flowing from person to person. If you “Google” the word love, and you have to be very careful doing this, you will find all sorts of ...read more

    Ye Shall Be Witness Series

    Contributed by Jimmy Chapman on Jul 25, 2007
    based on 28 ratings
     | 15,160 views

    "Witnesses" — it is that word which defines for Christ’s disciples their role and responsibility. We must not lose sight of the fact that the Holy Spirit came to equip the disciples to carry out their work of witness.

    ACTS 1:8 “Ye shall be witnesses” The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, DC, has a guard 24 hours a day. Every hour on the hour, 365 days a year, a new soldier reports for duty. When the new guard arrives, he receives his orders from the one who is leaving. ...read more

    While Jesus came to bring peace between God and sinners he wants us to know that our life in this world as his followers won't be peaceful.

    A couple of years ago a number of Circuit City electronic stores in the States were going out of business and some of them hired a liquidator to sell off their remaining inventory.

    ***Start off with movie clip*** Tonight, we are going to be spending some time talking about music, which is something that is a really big part of most of our lives.

    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,087 views

    A powerful sermon on the true mission of the church, based upon a sermon from the late Dr. E. V. Hill and the iconic skit by Abbot and Costello.

    Who’s On First Luke 19:10 Back in 1986 I heard Rev. E. V. Hill preach at a pastor’s conference. It was great. He preached a sermon he called, “A Spiritual Homerun.” Today I want to use that sermon as a skeleton for my own. E. V. told about preaching at a conference in Lucerne, Switzerland. He ...read more

    Ordinary Proper 21: Divisions among Christians are not new. Unfortunately, they are all too common - even among the same church members. But we are called to be one because of the price paid to make us one - the Cross!

    At one time, we had a large aquarium. It was fun to keep it up and to learn about the different sorts of tropical fish that we kept. One of my very favorite fish was the Betta Splendens. Sometimes they are called bettas or they are called Siamese Fighting Fish. There is a picture of a betta on ...read more

    The disciples, on more than one occasion, argued over who should hold the highest position in the kingdom. Their desire was for recognition and honor in an earthly kingdom. Jesus had to refocus their thinking and I believe the same refocusing is needed by many today.
