    based on 6 ratings

    Jesus offers to give us "newness of life" - a rebirth and a 2nd chance put our lives right. How does that work, and what do I need to do to lay hold of that promise?

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 27, 2022
     | 1,872 views

    Both Adam and Eve hid in the garden's trees trying address their own shame. It was God who is seeking; it is always God who seeks out the sinner. What had brought our foreparts to this pitiful state? From God's creation that was very good to sin. We look at that.

    MAN’S RUIN – IT BEGAN AND IT CONTINUES – THE FALL OF ADAM AND EVE - GENESIS CHAPTER 3 PART 1 – INNOCENCE DESTROYED This account of the Fall is not a myth or fairy tale as liberal theologians like to say. It was testified to by the Lord Himself, and by Paul. I covered that in the talks on ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,436 views

    To establish we must learn: to be content in all life’s situations; to genuinely commend others for their communications (financial support); and, to be contingent (dependent) upon God’s supplying all of our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

     | 7,419 views

    This sermon looks at rest, the importance of rest, and the types of tiredness we can have, and how Christ satisfies them with His rest.

    I want you to think of a time in your life when you were exhausted. That moment when the tank was empty, you were depleted, and you had nothing left to give. Think of that time. Think of the most tiring day, or season, in your entire life. Recall the feelings and emotions. For me, the moment ...read more

    Psalm 139 Series

     | 9,136 views

    God sees all and knows all. That can cause us to feel either threatened or comforted. The best response is that of David, "lead me." It is far better to be led by the one who sees and knows everything, even our own thoughts.

    For Sermon Central researchers: I have posted a series of 15 sermons on the Psalms. In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated. I had too often swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as ...read more

    The Problem With Racism Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 24, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,413 views

    During the days after the Civil War up thru the 1960s, there were many "Christians" in the U.S. who embraced bigotry and mistreated the black people around them. Why would supposed Christians do that, and how do we protect ourselves from that kind of evil?

    Martin Luther King Jr. Day was last Monday (1/20/25). He once said: “The time is always right to do what is right.” Today, our sermon is going to be on racism, not because I think any of us are racist - but because, as Christians, we need to know what the Bible says about it. Martin Luther ...read more

     | 25,953 views

    There are things we face in life that do not fall neatly into the right or wrong categories. There are some things we’re faced with, some areas of conduct that the Bible really doesn’t address. That’s what Paul is addressing.

    INTRODUCTION Open your Bibles, please, to Romans 14. Today I want to talk about, “Hey! A Christian Can’t Do THAT!” I heard about a guy who crossed the street in front of his house to go to the mailbox and get the mail. And after he got the mail he was walking back across the ...read more

     | 11,886 views

    The most important thing in the lives of the Wisemen was finding Jesus. They went "looking" for Him until they found Him. Is Jesus the most important thing in your life, and how do you know if you've been looking for Him?

    Naaman had two problems - one was leprosy. But the other problem was the one that threatened to prevent him from being cleansed. What was his "other" problem, and what "fixed" both of his problems?

    based on 76 ratings

    God calls us to live righteous lives. But Romans tells us that no one is righteous. So, God wants to me to be righteous. I want to be righteous... but no one is righteous so I can’t be righteous. How can that possibly make sense?
