In Our Redemption Series

Contributed by Josh Reich on Apr 16, 2007

This is the last part of our series in the book of Ruth. We did it on easter sunday. We looked at God’s role in our redemption.

Well it is great to have you all here with us today. Jesus is kind of an interesting guy. Some of you may know the story of Jesus, some of you may not be as familiar with it. So let me recap to get us all on the same page. We know that Jesus lived some 2000 years ago. He was born in a dumpy, ...read more

"Jephthah: Rebel With A Clause"

Contributed by Clark Tanner on Feb 21, 2007

Jepthah was a man in need of grace, and God had it to give in abundance.

Have you ever met someone who has to have everything in writing? I mean, not necessarily in a literal sense; just someone who is so afraid of being cheated, ‘burned’ in the modern vernacular, that they want assurances and promises from others before they will take any requested action or partner ...read more

Contributed by Kelvin Parks on Oct 31, 2004

Seeking The Savior Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Jul 9, 2004

Today our focus is on two broken-hearted disciples who saw the Savior, and as a result, were never the same again.

This light bulb represents bright hope. It’s full of promising potential. But, like your heart, it’s also very fragile [drop bulb so it shatters]. We’ve all experienced the crash of unmet expectations. Some of us have been gouged by grief that won’t seem to go away. Many of us have been hit with ...read more

Sermon 20 in a study in HEBREWS (This is reprint of an old sermon, slightly reworked, because it fit in this series at this point)

Unraveling The Bema Seat Versus The Great White Throne Of Judgment

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Oct 19, 2020

Less than 200 years ago, teaching began that the Bema Judgment Seat and the Great White Throne Judgment are two separate events.

This teaching states that at the Bema Seat, the Born-Again Christian will be judged with rewards according to their works, while the Great White Throne judgment is where those who rejected Jesus as Lord and Savior will be judicially judged and given an eternal sentence of torment. This teaching has ...read more

Truths We Learn From Nicodemus

Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Nov 18, 2002

The account of Nicodemus’ conversion refutes those who say: "I have always been saved, I can’t remember ever being lost" and proclaims "You must be born again!"

TRUTHS WE LEARN FROM NICODEMUS "There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, ’Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these miracles that You do unless God is with him." John 3:1-2.

Christian Liberty

Contributed by Lou Nicholes on Mar 28, 2005

Sometimes its hard to know when to defer to the weaker brother. Paul gives a simple rule of thumb to help in making that decision.

THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: A prayer before the U.S. Senate. “Lord Jesus, thou who art the way, the truth, and the life; hear us as we pray for the truth that shall make all free. Teach us that liberty is not only to be loved but also to be lived. Liberty is too precious a thing to be buried in ...read more

Intro: Jesus spoke often in parables. Parables picture for us important truths.

The Fear Of Failure

Contributed by Thomas Miller on Feb 21, 2008

Being negative is easy; it requires no work because it comes natural. All you have to do to fail is nothing. On the other hand being positive isn’t as easy; it requires work. Optimism in the face of adversity is difficult and is hard to find in this day a

The Fear of Failure Diamonds in the rough often go unrealized because they don’t think they are diamonds, they don’t have an advocate to encourage them, so the fear of failure ruins the confidence that leads to success. The greatest days and moods are quickly forgotten with one ...read more

Evidence Of The Resurrection Of Christ

Contributed by Trevor Chuma on Aug 30, 2018

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is either one biggest hoaxes ever foisted on the minds of human beings--or it is the most remarkable fact of history. There are historical evidence and proof that show the resurrection indeed happened.

1. Fact #1: Large Stone Removed. On that Sunday morning the first thing that impressed the people who approached the tomb was the unusual position of the stone that had been lodged on the doorway. Ask yourself this, if the disciples came in and tiptoed around the sleeping guards, and then roll the ...read more
