    Promise Keeper Series

    Contributed by Brady Boyd on Dec 18, 2019
     | 3,237 views

    My parents never made empty promises to me. Now that I’m an adult, I realize my parents were always honest with me. Because of their honesty, I’ve found it easier to believe in a God that keeps his promises. That is not true for many people who find God too mysterious to understand, much less trust.

    Jesus' followers had to very carefully examine the evidence for Jesus' resurrection, even when it was right before their faces, to believe. In the same way, you owe it to yourself to examine the evidence & come to the same conclusion they did!

    This world is a dangerous place. If there’s any lesson the congregation of Risen King may have learned over the past three months or so is just how vulnerable we human being are to tragedies that may overtake us very suddenly.

    We have all heard it said: “Ignorance is bliss.” If that were true, I should be experiencing a lot more bliss in my life than I am, Amen? When it comes to Mary, the mother of Jesus, however, I wouldn’t say that ignorance is bliss but I would say that innocence is

    Go! And Hear The Roar Of God Series

     | 754 views

    The roar of God’s holiness thunders through the book of Amos. It is a warning, a call to repentance, but also a signpost pointing us to Jesus Christ—the only One who can rescue us from judgment and bring us into eternal life.

    Go! And Hear the Roar of God A Sermon from the Book of Amos Introduction – The Lion Has Roared Imagine walking through the African savannah at night. The stars are bright above you, the wind is calm, but suddenly… you hear it. The deep, rolling roar of a lion. That sound shakes you. It demands ...read more

    Five Anti-Growth Attributes To Avoid

    Contributed by Sterling Franklin on Jul 17, 2011
    based on 6 ratings
     | 10,760 views

    Peter urges us as believers (especially new ones) to be nourished and grow closer to Jesus, and he highlights five anti-growth attributes that will keep us from doing so! Avoid the evil, cling to what is good!

    Text: 1 Peter 2:1-3 1 Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, 2 as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

    A Runaway Is Found, A Poor Decision Is Exposed

    Contributed by Gregory Fisher on Jul 16, 2018
     | 8,244 views

    Abram and Sarai are desperate for an heir. So desperate, in fact, that they are willing to try anything...and, do. As life spins out of control the impact of their poor choices affects more than just their own relationship. But, God shows up as a searching and seeking God.

    A Runaway Is Found, A Poor Decision Is Exposed, And Faithful People are Tested. Text: Genesis 16: 1-16 16 Sarai, Abram’s wife, hadn’t yet produced a child. She had an Egyptian maid named Hagar. Sarai said to Abram, “God has not seen fit to let me have a child. Sleep with my maid. Maybe I can ...read more

    Message In 1peter – Number 6 – Follow My Example Of Suffering And Walk Accordingly (But Not The Writer’s Example) – 1peter 2:21-23 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 24, 2023
     | 1,312 views

    This message looks at examples, especially Christ's example in suffering. Committed Christians take up their crosses and follow Christ, their example. Our Lord has set the example in suffering. That will lead to persecution/suffering when we deny self and walk in His footsteps.

    Killing "the God Of Me"

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Apr 29, 2021
     | 2,671 views

    There is only one throne in a person's heart; it either belongs to you or to the Lord God Almighty. Jesus won't share it with you and you cannot expect Him to do so. There is only one remedy, to kill "the god of Me" and enthrone the True and Living God there!

    Killing "The god of Me” Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:6-8 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall ...read more

    Truth - A Bargain At Twice The Price Series

     | 7,857 views

    Proverbs 23 says we should "buy truth." But you'd think "truth" was highly valued enough in society that you wouldn't have to be told to pay for it. Why would God advise us buy it?

    (I spent a couple years as a student at Purdue University, and this is one of the jokes I heard there) There were a couple of students - one from IU and one from Notre Dame - standing beside a flagpole discussing something.

    This message compares the state of the world before the flood and its current state of lawlessness. Daily news reports often highlight cases of murder, hatred, and violence prevailing all over the world, attempting to remove God from society. Hence, the question is, would you have assisted Noah?

    Ang Muling Pagkabuhay Ni Hesus Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 27, 2024
     | 6,939 views

    Siya ay nabuhay! Siya ay buhay! Si Jesus ay muling nabuhay upang hindi mamatay. Ang iba sa Bagong Tipan ay nabuhay, ngunit namatay muli, tulad ni Lazarus. Si Jesus ay binuhay mula sa mga patay at siya ay mabubuhay magpakailanman.

    Ang muling pagkabuhay ay ang pinakasentro at esensya ng Kristiyanismo. Ito ay “pangunahing kahalagahan” ng pananampalatayang Kristiyano. Ang kakanyahan na iyon at ang kahalagahan ay nakuhang maganda sa 1 Mga Taga-Corinto 15:3-5. Sapagkat ibinigay ko sa inyo bilang pinakamahalaga sa lahat ang ...read more

    We Have Access Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 456 views

    While the Crucifixion of Christ allowed for forgiveness of our sins, the Resurrection serves as our entrance into Heaven. We all have a choice to make in this life. Will we follow Jesus Christ to wherever He may lead us? Or, will we try to do things the world’s way, chasing after meaningless, temporary and empty satisfaction for only a few, short years? The Resurrection calls us to have an Eternal perspective.

    Today, we're gonna talk about the Resurrection of Jesus. That's the event we celebrate on Easter. But before we dive in, let me show you something cool. See this locked box? Imagine all the awesome stuff inside, but we can't get to it because it's locked. Bummer, right? Well, Jesus is like the key ...read more

    The Parable of the Watchful Servants Luke 12:35-48 Message: God’s plan to redeem the world to Himself involved the birth, life, death and resurrection of His son Jesus Christ.

    God asked Ezekiel "Can these bones live?" And they did. What did that vision mean then, and what does it mean to us today?
