  • A Baptism By Fire

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 28, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,634 views

    Fire is a fierce, frightening force and we do not usually associate it with Jesus. However, this message shows how Jesus came bringing what John the Baptist calls an “unquenchable fire,” referring to God's judgement.

    A teenager walked into the local Catholic church and sat down in the confessional booth.

    One of the most difficult sermons a pastor has to preach is a “Mother’s Day” sermon.

    Why? For the same reason you spend a great deal of time searching through the Hallmark Cards trying to find the perfect card that will begin to convey how deeply you feel about your mother.

  • Great Is Thy Faithfulness

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on May 18, 2023
     | 5,676 views

    We do not hear many sermons from the Book of Lamentations and I am not really sure why.

    But I feel that one of the reasons that I do not preach from the Book of Lamentations any more than I do is because the “Weeping Prophet” Jeremiah wrote it. Most folks enjoy spending their time with people who are laughing and having a good time, and we try to AVOID those who are always MOURNING ...read more

    James devotes most of chapter 3 to our challenge of controlling the tongue. In this sermon, we examine James' pronouncements about the tongue and then look at improper and proper uses of the tongue.

    Introduction: A. If your tongue has ever gotten you into trouble, then please raise your hand. 1. Turn to your neighbor and say, “I’m not surprised!” 2. We are not surprised, because it happens to all of us. 3. All of us have had the experience of saying something, and then wishing we had not said ...read more

    Let Your Light Shine

    Alexander MacLaren once wrote: ‘We may have as much of God as we choose. Jesus puts the key to the treasure-chamber into our hand and tells us to take all that we want. If a man is admitted into the vault of a bank and told to help himself, and comes out with one penny, whose fault is it that he is ...read more

If he was destined to betray Jesus, then did ...read more

    This message stresses the importance of worship that flows from appreciation love. Praise can flow from the lips of those who gather for worship, regardless of their circumstances.

    In one electrifying moment a hush would fall over the congregants. It was the moment for which they had prepared themselves.

  • Unexpected Events (Part 1) Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 7, 2021
     | 5,606 views

    Pivotal events can happen unexpectedly in our lives. If we are able to accept that fact and (at the same time) trust God with the changes that accompany those events, we will manage life better. This message explores unexpected events in Moses's life.

    Today I want to talk about two unexpected events in Moses’s life. One was a glorious encounter with God that set him on the course for the last 40 years of his life. The other was a painful experience that equipped him to fulfill the mission given to him in the first encounter. In both cases the ...read more

  • The Lord Shows His Excellence In All The Earth

     | 1,910 views

    God’s excellence shines so clearly in all his works. The Lord could have crushed those who bore his image when we sinned, yet God was mindful of us. The glorious God who first stooped down to create us, then stooped down to save us through his only Son.

    As we lead busy lives each week, we need to slow down. In the middle of the activity of work and school and home life and church life, we need to pause and ponder. For how often do we really think about who God is, who we are, and what to do with the few days on earth that God has given? It’s easy ...read more
