Healing Heart Wounds Part 3 - Betrayal & Deception Series

Contributed by Dr. Jonathan Vorce on Aug 18, 2018

Betrayal is a demon spirit. We know this because it acts the same, uses the same phrases and its patterns are the same anywhere in the world. Anyone, who is NOT paying attention spiritually, can fall prey to this demonic spirit.

Psalms 41:7-9 7 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt. 8 An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more. 9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his ...read more

The Restoration Of Hope

Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Dec 3, 2011

It’s wishing, not hoping: and wishing and hoping are not the same thing. "Wishing," Peterson says, "is something all of us do. It ...read more

This sermon uses the name JOSEPH as an acrostic with each letter representing a characteristic in the life of this famous father figure.

First In Everything! (A Christmas Sermon)

Contributed by David Mende on Dec 1, 2018

Christ deserves the first place in all things: in our lives, in our families, in our time, in our conversations, in our studies, in our mission and ministry, in our jobs and businesses, in our decisions, and in everything! I would be delighted if you could rate this sermon and give brief feedback.

INTRODUCTION (SECURE ATTENTION) & BACKGROUND OF THE PASSAGE: PRAY before starting the sermon. We live in a pluralistic society and thus presenting the uniqueness of Christ is a great challenge.

Contributed by Steve Meenho Kang on Dec 17, 2022

John was one of the original Twelve Disciples of Jesus. He spent more than three years with Jesus. He realized why Jesus came. And He wrote the reason why Jesus came in his gospel. In John 3:16-17, he said that God sent Jesus into this world to love us. This is why we must celebrate His birth.
