Rejoice, For Today Is The Day Of Salvation!

Contributed by David Richardson on Jul 14, 2005

At just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. The sacrifice of Jesus enables God to once more look upon man and to hold out His heart and hands to man and say "Come, now is the day of salvation."

Title: Rejoice, for Today is the Day of Salvation! Scripture: Romans 5:1-8 5:1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand.

Tell Them I Am Has Sent Me To You

Contributed by Paul Fritz on Jan 5, 2004

Praying God's Will

Contributed by Ron Hicks on Sep 13, 2005

Praying for the eight ball to go into the corner pocket, for you to be rich and famous, for the right partner to come along, is not praying God’s will for your life. Do you want to be holy, righteous and pure. Now, that’s praying God’s will.

PRAYING GOD’S WILL James 5:16-17 The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. 17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.

The God Of Genesis 1-3

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on May 5, 2003

This passage provides us with a wealth of information about the nature and character of God. I dare say that the rest of the Bible reveals little about God’s nature and character that isn’t revealed right here in the very first three chapters of the book

The events told in the first three chapters of the book of Genesis are well known. For centuries, they have provided material for many lessons and studies. I, myself, cannot count the number of times that I have used all or a portion of this passage in sermons that I have delivered. The amazing ...read more

Meaning Of The Wine Series

Contributed by Dennis Lawrence on May 12, 2003

What’s in a glass of wine? What’s in a tiny glass of wine? Forgiveness, rightness, closeness, conscience-cleansing, redemption, cleansing- that’s what. It’s not so little, is it? The amount of beverage might be little, but it carries big meaning!

Meaning of the Wine April 5, 2003 Each time we come to church and participate in the Lord’s Supper, the second symbol we use is wine. Now that’s a potentially controversial symbol today, in some circles, but was a very ordinary matter of meals in Jesus’ day, and still is in many cultures. Just ...read more

The Danger Of Good Intentions

Contributed by Rex Deckard on Mar 26, 2006

We live in a world where we have placed a higher premium on sincerity, than on truth. The attitude of the world is that, if our intentions are right, if we have a good motive, then our actions- no matter how awful are justified. But the ends never justi

How May We Know That God Exists?

Contributed by Alex Mcfarland on Jun 28, 2006

Spiritual struggles like Nathan’s are common. Therefore, before we talk to people about being in right relationship with God, we may need to address their core beliefs about His existence and offer reassurance about the reasonableness of belief. Indeed,

After his grandmother’s funeral, 15 year-old Nathan really started thinking about God. Because his grandmother had been a faithful Christian, the minister spoke about her eternal rewards. But talk of heaven and the afterlife caused Nathan to wonder, “How do we really know there’s a God and an ...read more

Looking Out For These Dads

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jul 12, 2008

Many parents have kidded themselves into thinking they were teaching their children right when they told them what to do, but never did it themselves. The child picked up all the vibes that were coming through, and did just like the parents did.

A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father’s Day while listening to a Mother’s Day sermon in 1909. Having been raised by her father, after her mother ...read more

Who Do You Trust? Series

Contributed by Mark Haines on Jan 20, 2010

Sin is deadly in the end even though it may seem pleasurable in the beginning. Humans cannot determine what is right and wrong in the universe God created. It is beyond our limitations. So we can and must trust God. The question is will you trust him.
