Sermons on Clapping Hands:

Do Something!!!

Contributed by Marc Phillips on Nov 18, 2014

We must be doers of the word, not just hearers. Sermon uses the song "Do Something" By Matthew West as an illustration to show that we are God's hands and feet, who are we to complain about things, and not do anything about them?

Psalms 31:23 “O love the Lord, all you His godly ones! The Lord preserves the faithful and fully recompenses the proud doer.”What does that mean? What does it mean to love the Lord biblically? My understanding of biblical love includes an attitudinal response and demonstrated obedience, ...read more

The Most Important Exam

Long Live Christ Our King

Contributed by Craig Condon on Sep 4, 2015

In a world where evil reigns and we feel that there is no hope, we can take comfort in the knowledge that Christ the king is in charge. Our ultimate destiny is in the hands of the one true God who loved us enough to die for us.

The end is here! We’ve reached the end of another church year, and it’s fitting that on this Reign of Christ Sunday we celebrate the mystery of Christ’s kingly power. Reign of Christ Sunday is a fairly new religious observance. It was started by Pope Pius XI in 1925. According to ...read more

Consider Your Ways

Contributed by Dr. Jonathan Vorce on Jun 21, 2019

Contributed by Jimmy Haile on Jun 14, 2015

This opportunity to teach one of the most valuable lessons, a lesson that the disciples would struggle with, a lesson they were struggling with (James and John wanted to sit on the right and left hand in His kingdom) and a lesson that you and I struggle with!!

The Importance Of Love & Doctrine Series

Contributed by Othniel Andrew on Mar 16, 2018

There is a lot of confusion and confrontation when it comes to love and doctrine. Many argue that love is more important or love is enough! On the other hand, there are others who emphasize more on doctrine and avoid others who don't agree with them.

The Importance of Love & Doctrine ***************************** Mark 1:22 And they were astonished at His doctrine: for He taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.

Contributed by David Henderson on Jun 20, 2017

FAMILY MATTERS “God’s Family….Better Together” Acts 2:42-47 “I’m so glad I’m a part of the family of God, I’ve been washed in the fountain, cleansed by his blood, joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this side; I’m a part of the family, the family of God.” Have you heard that before?

Scars To Show

Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Dec 29, 2014

A perspective on John 20: 19-23. Jesus showed them his hands and side, the scars of his torment and death on the cross. This would have been an uncomfortable moment for them as they remembered their failures, abandonment, and lack of faith in Jesus.

John 20: 19-23 Scars To Show The Gospel of John was written at about A.D. 85 a considerable number of years after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Only The Lamb Is Worthy

Contributed by Terry Hovey on Apr 29, 2025

A scroll sealed with seven seals is in the hand of the One on the throne, and no one is found worthy to open it or even look at it—until the Lion of the tribe of Judah appears. But when John looks, he sees not a lion but a Lamb that appears slain.

Only the Lamb is Worthy Revelation 5:1-10 I think that as we begin looking at our text today in Revelation 5:1-10, it would help us to understand something of the background that led up to this point in John's vision. John's Revelation of Jesus Christ begins with a powerful vision of the ...read more
