Be Watchful In All Things!

Contributed by Tony Abram on May 7, 2008

In this sermon outline we point out the exhortation the Word gives us to watch. We cannot ever have a vision if we do not have a vision. Our vision and watchfulness must be with the Lord. Unless the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

Can't Shake Off Mom's Voice

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 11, 2008

For Mother’s Day and Pentecost: We cannot shake off our mother’s voice. That voice needs to be one of faith, not just admonition. Yet we need to grow our own faith. The Spirit’s voice overrides all negatives.

Can you, in your own mind, hear your mother’s voice? Can you remember not only what she says or used to say, but how she says it? Many of us can remember those things. Even people whose mothers died young can remember distinctive things. It seems we can’t quite shake off Mom’s voice. It stays ...read more

Think Before You Speak - Introduction Series

Contributed by Larry Wilson on Aug 9, 2011

Wild beasts can be tamed, but not the human tongue. That is, it cannot be tamed except the Spirit of God do it. The Lord has used this sermon to help our people to season their speech with grace. My outline, developed years ago, is the same as an outline

A New Identity In Christ

Contributed by Major Gerardo Balmori on Apr 2, 2011

The principal strategy of Satan is to falsify (to distort) God's character and the truth of who we represent to our Savior. Though the enemy cannot change God, nor can alter our identity and position in Christ. Nevertheless he tries by deceiving ourselv

Teaching Our Children Respect For Themselves

Contributed by Major Gerardo Balmori on Apr 2, 2011

Self respect comes from having strong character. Say whatever you want about what constitutes self respect, but it cannot exist apart from a strong, Godly character. D. L. Moody said Character is what you are in the dark

What God Is For Us Series

Contributed by Chuck Sligh on May 6, 2012

There are two categories of God's attributes: His natural attributes, which set him apart from his creation and cannot be emulated, and his moral attributes. Psalm 86 tells us about several of God's moral attributes and how they are a blessing to the beli

What To Do When Bad Things Happen To God's People

Contributed by Richard A. Bradley on Mar 5, 2012

God's people often ask "Why has this happened to me?" However, God is not so much interested in why as "what." In this fallen world we cannot prevent bad things from happening. What we do in response to them is another question.

WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOD’S PEOPLE? Acts 16:25-34 25 But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the ...read more

Our Always True God Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Apr 17, 2011

Should evil be done because God can bring good out of it? No, before God a good end does not justifies an evil means or method. For God is always true & He cannot be faithful to the unrighteous no matter who they are or how they think.

ROMANS 3: 1-8 OUR ALWAYS TRUE GOD Most Jews believed that their possession of the law, circumcision, and an outward profession of relation to God, would provide salvation or acceptance before God for them. Paul has just demonstrated that these securities on which most Jews relied are false or ...read more

Double Vision Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 22, 2014

It almost seems like Jesus cannot heal this blind man. It takes Him 2 times to give this man back his sight. What's going on here and what can it tell us about our need for God's touch in our lives?

OPEN: How many of you spend time on Facebook? (At least half the congregation raised their hands). Me too. And I have a number of friends on Facebook – 634 at last count – many of whom I barely know. But they are more than willing to share their thoughts with me. Some time back one ...read more

Resurrection Deception

Contributed by Robert Sickler on Jan 9, 2015

It is very difficult to recognize that which we are convinced cannot exist in our life time. This then is the point; the rapture is real but pre-tribulation-rapture doctrine has a very high potential for supporting Satan’s deception, which masks the coming of the antichrist.

RESURRECTION DECEPTION SNAKE OIL There has always been someone who was willing to sell worthless crap to those gullible enough to buy it, and this is also true for Christians. Christendom is over flowing with those who are simple enough to buy almost anything the snake-oil-doctrine purveyors are ...read more

Hold Him Up

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Feb 7, 2015

Like Moses, your pastor cannot and is not expected by God to do the work by himself. Like Moses pastors need others who will hold his arms high that they may be steadied and that he may be able to lead as God would have him do.

Hold Him Up Exodus 17:8-13 Under the leadership of Moses, God delivered Israel from Egypt and was led into the wilderness in route to the Promised Land. In their journeying, Israel came to Rephidim. There at Rephidim, the Amalekites, nomadic descendants of Esau, began to conduct assaults against ...read more

Jesus Is The Bread Of Life

Contributed by David Mcnally on Jul 21, 2012

According to Calvin the Lord's Supper is a mere Memorial Meal and Jesus cannot come to us because He is in heaven at the right side of the Father, but John 6 and the words spoken at the Last Supper and Paul in 1st Corinthians 11 point that it is more than

John 6:35-6:51 Jesus is the Bread of Life Let us pray: Dear Heavenly Father, through the power of your Holy Spirit, open our hearts and minds to the proclamation of your Word, that we might be fed and nourished in faith.

The Reality Of Hell

Contributed by David Mcnally on Jul 23, 2012

Yes God is a loviing God who sent His only begotten Son to die on the cross to atone for the sines of the world, but this does not, cannot, mean that everyone is saved. Universalism is a nice thought, but nor biblical. The worst sinner can become a saint,

Luke 16: 19-31 Sermon: The reality of Hell Most preachers do not like giving sermons on hell, preferring to use terms such as “lost eternity”. Most pastors don't want to be regarded as a "fire and brimstone" preacher, yet we do no one a favour by avoiding this unpleasant subject. ...read more

Moses, The Man Who Pleased God Series

Contributed by Manny Salva Cruz on Aug 9, 2015

We cannot please everyone but we need only to please God, our Creator. In this message, we will learn three desires that Moses had that win the approval of God. Our goal is that we will also gain God's approval for everything we do.

MOSES, THE MAN THAT PLEASED GOD SCRIPTURE READING: Exodus 33:14-20 14 The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” 15 Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. 16 How will anyone know that you are ...read more

Don't Let Your Haters Get You Down

Contributed by Spencer Miller on Jun 14, 2013

It is a great mystery to me; I truly cannot understand how people with Jesus in their hearts can be so hateful and hurtful towards one another? How can they be so impatient and angry at each other? When that should love each other instead.

6 And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of musick. 7 And the women answered one another as they played, and ...read more
