     | 5,461 views

    We often change the way we use words over time. One such word is freedom. Today we see what it means to really be free. Sermon originally presented on Independence Day.

Sometimes that word takes on different connotation because of something that has happened in our lives. Irene Hannon wrote a ...read more

    A sermon preached on Sunday evening to introduce the topic of grace (Portions taken from Philip Yancey's book, "What's So Amazing About Grace?" and Dr. Jack Cottrell's book "Set Free")

    HoHum: Sometimes when we are in an airport, observe the difference between passengers who hold confirmed tickets and those who are on standby.

    Romans 6:22 tells us that we, as Christians, are set free from slavery to sin and that we become slaves to God. Should we identify ourselves as sinners or sons and daughters of God?

    If you would, please stand as we say together our memory Scripture for this quarter: Romans 12:4-5 “Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” ...read more

    We need strong accountability in the "free" age in which we walk. If we would apply self evaluation we would not need others to correct us. It is easy to fall into bad habits.

    ACCOUNTABILITY: SELF EVALUATION... By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

    Sermon # 36 - The Bondage Breaker Series

     | 2,514 views

    Addictions are of various sorts, and if one has to overcome any addiction it is possible only through Jesus Christ. It is possible to live a life free from every bondage, and this sermon will tell you how.

    We read in 2 Peter 2:19, “for we are slaves of anything that has conquered us.” (GNB) The above mentioned verse endorses the truth that a person becomes a slave to something, when they are overpowered by it. For instance, a person who is addicted to alcohol, may realize that the habit affects his ...read more

    We need to live by the wisdom of the Jerusalem council. Never make if difficult for anyone turning to the Lord. The death burial and resurrection of Jesus is available as a free gift to all who put their faith in Christ.

    The background to the sermons preached at the Jerusalem council.

    Today many churches are prone to avoid discussing the truth that faith in Jesus will not always bring sunny days and a care-free life. Quite the contrary. Faith in Jesus will put you at enmity with the world.

    Living a life free from fear and anxiety is possible when we learn to trust God completely, giving our fears and worries to Him and expecting His peace to fill our hearts.

    So, you know how we all have that one drawer or closet in our room that's just full of random stuff? It's like a black hole, right? You throw in all the things you don't know what to do with, and they just disappear. But the thing is, they don't really go away. They're still there, cluttering up ...read more

    If we sincerely seek the Lord to deliver us from our bondage, He will come to set us free. However, we must always keep in mind that the freedom and deliverance God brings us, is so we will worship the Lord and fulfill His purposes for our lives.

    Released to worship In this Chapter we study the Bible further, to understand God’s divine plan that He purposed in order to free us from every form of bondage and enslavement in our lives. In Exodus 2:23, we read, “Years passed, and the king of Egypt died. But the Israelites continued to groan ...read more
