    You Have Heard It Said – Divorce Series

    Contributed by Guy Glass on Aug 14, 2023
     | 1,536 views

    This message is probably one of the hardest messages I have ever had to both prepare for and preach. I am sure this message will be accepted by some and criticized by others. My goal was to be true to where the Scripture took me and the conclusions of that study

    THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT YOU HAVE HEARD IT SAID – DIVORCE MATTHEW 5:31–32 “IT HAS BEEN SAID, ‘ANYONE WHO DIVORCES HIS WIFE MUST GIVE HER A CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE.’ 32BUT I TELL YOU THAT ANYONE WHO DIVORCES HIS WIFE, EXCEPT FOR MARITAL UNFAITHFULNESS, CAUSES HER TO BECOME AN ADULTERESS, AND ANYONE ...read more

    Organizing A Community As Jesus Would Have It

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 4, 2023
     | 837 views

    Paul is telling us what every community needs to order itself around in order to give effective witness, both to itself and to the world.

    Homily Col 3 (Found in the Office of readings, Wednesday 2nd week of Christmas) Reading the clear command: “Whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him” gives us the opportunity to take a short cut. Make the sign of the ...read more

    Do We Have A Case Of Heartburn?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 12, 2023
     | 1,568 views

    This is the story of the two men that were going back to Emmaus and what happened to them on their journey. They almost missed something because they were centered around their own personal issues.

    In verses 13-16: The two men walking toward Emmaus were so caught up in themselves and their own problems that they did not see Jesus or even recognize Him. Undoubtedly, they had heard His preaching, the various parables, and what He was teaching about Himself. It was as if they were not looking ...read more

    Do We Have A Vision Of Goodness?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Feb 4, 2023
     | 747 views

    Are we focused just on what and who is inside our church doors? Or are we looking, searching and sharing what we have with others so that they may come in?

    In this context, vision alludes to the disclosure (prophesy) that the prophets would obtain from God. Where there is obliviousness of God, sin and crime go out of control. The public moral compass of society relies upon the knowing God’s directions, yet it likewise relies upon individuals keeping ...read more

    What Does It Mean To Be Having Fellowship?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Aug 20, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 531 views

    Fellowship occurs when people are in unity and love.

    Similar to how he began his Gospel, John begins his first letter to the churches by stressing that Christ—also known as “the Word of Life”—is eternal, that Jesus is the light and life of the world, and that God came into the world as a man, and that John was a witness to Jesus’ life. How do we ...read more

    How To Have Boldness On The Day Of Judgment

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Sep 15, 2024
     | 633 views

    There is something that many people should fear, and that is the judgment of God. Scripture tells us that there is a Judgment Day coming. That, for many, should cause them to be afraid if they have any idea what it could mean for them.

    This was a short talk (10 minutes) given at an inner city mission before dinner. It is directed at people who struggle with their relationships, and this struggle contributes to them being 'stuck' in life

    Thriving, Healthy Relationships Who was your best friend with you were 10 years old? What was his or her name? My best friend was also named Matthew and our friendship lasted maybe 4-5 years.

     | 5,542 views

    "Many people have enough hand strength, but no heart-strength to profit with it. Strength without grace and holiness serves little, and without prudence, it serves nothing"

    HAVE HAND STRENGTH, BUT NO HEART- STRENGTH. "Indeed, what profit is the strength of their hands to me? " (Job 30:2a) NKJV "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor ...read more

    Jesus can bring all of humanity back together in His community, in His Church, in His Kingdom.

    The prophet Jeremiah has a really bad rep. Of course, his prophetic book doesn’t help that much when one of his most famous prayers to God is “Thou hast deceived me, O Lord, and I am deceived: thou hast been stronger than I, and thou hast prevailed. I am become a laughing-stock all the day, all ...read more

    Do You Have Staying Power?

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 2, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,647 views

    This is a message on patience. James provides some valuable insight into why believers sometimes fail at being patient, and he explains how to stay the course even when difficult life circumstances seem to go by at a snail’s pace.

    If we are willing to be patient until the grace of God is made manifest, whether it takes nine years or ninety, it will be worth the wait. - Rebecca Pippert(1) This morning’s message will addresses the need to develop our staying power. As you might have guessed, this is a sermon on patience. ...read more

    Having Confidence When We Are Fearful

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 7, 2022
     | 1,787 views

    What do we do when the ugly little head of fear begins to creep into our lives? What is it that causes you fear? An example of Abram's life shows us what we should do and what we shouldn't do.

    Fear. Whether we want to admit it or not, fear is something that we have to wrestle with. The fear of standing on the ladder that's two stories high. Fear of a spider crawling on your skin. The fear of snakes. The fear of standing on a stage with the spotlight beaming on you. The fear of ...read more

    This sermon looks at the first of the six, "you have heard it said" statements of Christ, where Jesus looks at the intent of the Law, not just the letter of the Law

    THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT YOU HAVE HEARD IT SAID – MURDER MATTHEW 5:21–26 “YOU HAVE HEARD THAT IT WAS SAID TO THE PEOPLE LONG AGO, ‘DO NOT MURDER, AND ANYONE WHO MURDERS WILL BE SUBJECT TO JUDGMENT.’ 22BUT I TELL YOU THAT ANYONE WHO IS ANGRY WITH HIS BROTHER WILL BE SUBJECT TO JUDGMENT.
