Sermons on Christian Identity:

A Person, Not An Algorithm

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 21, 2025

True meaning is not something we calculate or construct but Someone we receive—our identity, purpose, and hope found only in Christ.

When the Soul Feels Automated We live in a world where almost everything is mediated through algorithms. They tell us what to watch, what to like, what to buy, and even what to feel. They shape our news, our habits, and our reactions without us ever stopping to ask whether the suggestions they ...read more

Keys To Spiritual Renewal

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024

Make Jesus known where he is needed. Be his heralds and his ambassadors.

Opening illustration: Our country is in desperate need of a spiritual awakening, but we have a problem.

Sermon On Dark Secrets

Contributed by William Meakin on Oct 15, 2023

A dark secret is defined as something kept hidden or unexplained.

Charlotte Brontë, an English novelist and poet once remarked: “The human heart has hidden treasures, In secret kept, in silence sealed; The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, Whose charms were broken if revealed.” Luke 8:17 reveals: “For nothing is hidden that will not be made ...read more

What Sayest Thou Of Thyself?

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Dec 22, 2014

How important is it to say what God says? It's the difference between losing and winning, healing or sickness, life or death. It's in the power of your tongue.

I know we could write a book about all the great and wonderful and magnificent marvelous majestic things to say about Jesus. I have a list of 100 names in the bible ascribed to Jesus; I use it many times when I pray as I honor his name and call upon him. But a majority of Christians have such a ...read more

The Transfiguration Series

Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Feb 21, 2010

The Transfiguration dramatatically demonstrated that Jesus is more than a simple Rabbi. To the disciples still struggling to figure out who He is, it a powerful revelation of Jesus' divinity.

The Transfiguration Today we begin our journey to the cross, to that one Event that divided history in half, to the one Event that tore the veil between God and humanity. This one Event is specifically why you are here today and why, if you have faith today in Jesus Christ, your life is ...read more

Understanding Who You Are? Your Identity In God Part #4

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Jul 19, 2025

I was asked the question is it really that important to be concerned about the descendants and who we are when it is all about salvation anyway? To a point that seems to be a fair question until you understand that the concept of salvation is twisted and manipulated and used to control slaves.

Maughmer, Jr. Part #4 This week I was asked the question is it really that important to be concerned about the descendants and who we are when it is all about salvation anyway?

Heart problems abound in our culture. In a society so fast-paced as ours, heart problems are inevitable. But there is another kind of heart problem which is even bigger. You may call it blindness of the heart.

You Are A Beloved Disciple Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 15, 2021

Valentine's Day: Peter came very close to viewing himself by his failures instead of seeing himself through the eyes of Christ. He finally came to realize that he was a beloved disciple. And Jesus sees you as cherished too!

This morning I want to address the topic of our identity in Christ, concerning how we are a people covered by grace, and how we are deeply loved and cherished. Many believers walk about feeling defeated. They come down hard on themselves and never accept the forgiveness that God wants to offer ...read more

Can A Christian Be Lost Again?

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 7, 2012

Eternal life means unending life; this is what Christ offers. Some, however, are convinced that His gift is probationary. The life He offers is meant to encourage us, and not to intimidate us.

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father ...read more
