    Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide Series

     | 31,772 views

    If you could spend your entire life listening to and obeying your God-given conscience, you could live a perfect life. But the Bible says we have ALL sinned and we fall short of the glory of God. All of us end up with a messed-up conscience.

    INTRODUCTION This is the penultimate message in this series on spurious Bible verses. Next week, we’ll consider the final adage, “To Thine Own Self Be True.” I encourage you to investigate this week and see if you can find the true source of that saying.

    Buffeted But Blessed

     | 18,115 views

    Life sometimes seems to be giving us a good beating. But God’s purpose in permitting trials and troubles in our lives is not to beat and burden us, but rather to build and bless our Christian life.

    Buffeted But Blessed Text: 2 Cor.12: 9, 10 Intro: Most of us would think the ideas of buffeting and blessing are totally foreign to one another. It’s difficult to wrap our limited insight around the biblical idea that the former could actually produce the latter. As a matter of fact, the ...read more

    In Daniel, we find encouragement that build faith and hope, great examples worthy of imitation, and something to direct our thoughts to Christ Jesus, his death burial, resurrection and his glorious return.

    Subject: "Dynamic Disciples Striving to be Men of Excellence " Text: Daniel 1:8-21 “But Daniel was determined not to defile himself by eating the food and wine given to them by the king.

    Jesus was tempted in three areas, as we are – Lust of the flesh (our body), lust of the eyes (our mind), pride of life (our soul). (1 John 2:16). He faced up to these temptations by knowing the scriptures. If we know our Bible, we can face up to the tempt

    January 14, 2007 Facing Temptation – Matthew 4:1-11 Introduction: Temptations. We all have them. We’d like to have that big, beautiful house, that fancy car, the high-paying career, the winning lottery ticket. Those are big temptations.

    Jesus tells us to give up the seat of honour so His grace can flow through our humility

    Jesus Never Called Shotgun Luke 14:1-14 Jan 20th, 2008 I have to confess that when I hear someone call “shotgun” it gets my hackles up a bit. When they say shotgun I hear “me; me; me.” It reminds me of when our kids were young I would tell them not to say “I’m the king of the castle and ...read more

    "First, I preached my church empty, and then preached it full again."

    David Foster Wallace said, "The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you,” in other words, the truth has to be assimilated in your conscience before it can set you free. Stanley Hauerwas, of Duke Divinity school, says, in effect, that, when we don’t let the truth ...read more

    The Letter To The Church At Sardis: Appearing Alive, But Actually Dead Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Feb 15, 2023
     | 1,426 views

    Sardis was a large and beautiful city in it’s time, with powerful defenses that made the residents over-confident in their ability to defend themselves from invading armies.

    "In an address I lately heard, the speaker said that the blessings of the higher Christian life were often like the objects exposed in a shop window, one could see them clearly and yet could not reach them. If told to stretch out his hand and take, a man would answer, I cannot; there is a ...read more

    Sermon # 20 - God Will Make A Way Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 15, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 988 views

    The Israelites were hemmed in from behind and before, and in such a critical situation they looked up to the Lord who intervened to bring a mighty deliverance. No matter what our fears or anxieties, let’s look up to Jesus who died to save us and lives to deliver us from all our fears.

    We read in Exodus 14:10, “When the Israelites saw the king and his army marching against them, they were terrified and cried out to the LORD for help.” (GNB) In this incidence, we see that multitudes of Israelites who were fleeing from Egypt were filled with dread, and they had every reason to do ...read more

    Christ And His Church Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,561 views

    The challenge for the church is not what we do when we call our Sunday morning huddle, but what we do when we break our huddle ... When Satan lines up against us, what difference does it make that we are Christians?

    Opening illustration: The job of the church is not to impact the church, but to impact the world. It’s like a huddle in a football game. 67,000 people don’t pay $25.00 a ticket to watch the Titans huddle. What if you went to a Titans game and for 2½ hours you watched 11 men stand in a circle and ...read more
