Bio Of A First-Class Dad

Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 15, 2019

Why was Abraham called "Father of us all?" Because he was a first-class Dad. He was a Man of Leadership, a Man of Faith, and a Man of Prayer. If we want to be first-class Dads, we should follow his example.

BIO OF A FIRST-CLASS DAD Gen. 17:5 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE DEFINITION OF BARBECUING It’s the only type of cooking a "real man" will do. When a man volunteers to do the ’BBQ’ the following chain of events are put into motion: 1. The woman goes to the store. 2. The woman fixes the ...read more

Jesus Transforms Lives Series

Contributed by Brett Crosson on Jun 17, 2019

Perhaps the greatest thing about Christianity and the kingdom of God is that Jesus changes lives. He changes us into new creatures and makes us citizens of heaven. And he can do this with any person.

Bethel: Where Jacob Met The Lord

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Aug 16, 2020

Jacob was Isaac's son and Abraham's grandson. He stopped at Bethel, for the night, but some interesting things happened while he was there.

Bethel: where Jacob met the Lord Preface: When you think of Jacob, what comes to mind? Clearly, he was one of the most colorful people in the Bible! Sometimes we think he was a shady character, such as when he “bargained” with Esau for the birthright. I still think there’s a bit of humor in that ...read more

In Harmony With Heaven Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

Happiness is a by product of a life in harmony with God. If you seek it as an end in itself, you inevitably fall into the deception of the world that says self-indulgence is the proper path.

Russell Delany, professor of philosophy and evangelism at the Nazarene Theological Seminary in Kansas City, has said that our great need today is: Not for better legislation, but for better legislators. Not for better business, but for better business men. Not for better banking, but for better ...read more

Feather Trigger

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Feb 6, 2018

What is the most fun of the 7 sins? We deal with people that have feather triggers (hair triggers) with short fuses. We must rise above the debate of desiring to be right, and realize personal relationships develop by love, love never fails.

FEATHER TRIGGER By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com 2/5/2018 TEXT: Psalm 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: 24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 139:23 (MSG) ...read more

Hate Crimes

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Feb 10, 2020

Jesus believed in hate crimes, because God knows the heart. Jesus urges us to resolve our murderous thoughts, make it right when we can, and settle out of court, all so that a watching world will take note of how Christian brothers and sisters get along.

Matthew 5:21-26 Hate Crimes The FBI defines a hate crime as a “criminal offense against a person or property, motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity.” A hate crime is not the same as hate ...read more

"The Return Of The King Of Kings”

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Nov 21, 2023

A Sermon for Christ the King Sunday. The Jesus story does not begin in Bethlehem, nor does it end in Jerusalem. Revelation is about the Cosmic war between "good and evil" ...much like the Disney movie "The Lion King".

Gone Fishin'

Contributed by John Nadasi on Jan 29, 2003

This is a fun sermon to preach! God’s call extends from the ordinary (apostles) to the extraordinary (Jonah). Many times God calls us through the subtlety of invitation as in this text. We are invited to go and do likewise.

Contributed by Byron Harvey on Jan 8, 2009

This continues in my expository series through the book of Acts.

What is it about the bad that seems much more tantalizing to us than the good? Mark Twain said that a lie could travel halfway around the world while the truth was still putting on its shoes. And the old maxim is that while good news travels, bad news travels fast. The mainstream media has been ...read more
