    The Distinction Of Christian Love In Jesus Series

    Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Jun 17, 2022
     | 1,916 views

    Christianity -or being a “follower” of Jesus is never about the whims of a fad or something popular. In fact, it is something that is quite counter cultural and disassociated from the world.

    What's That Smell?

    Contributed by Dr. Robert Crowder on Apr 9, 2021
     | 2,966 views

    Peter understood the defilements that the world holds. The ways of the world are an “entanglement” to living the Christian walk. THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THE GOSPEL MESSAGE IS NOT THE SALVATION OF THE BELIEVER. THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THE GOSPEL MESSAGE IS TRUE FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD!

    WHAT’S THAT SMELL? 2 Peter 2:20-22 For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first. 21 For it would have been better for ...read more

    27. The Kingdom Parables – The Seventh – The Dragnet – Part 3 Of 6 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 19, 2025
     | 100 views

    In the Dragnet parable, we see how it related to the seventh city of the seven churches John wrote to. That was Laodicea. We take a look at the background for Laodicea, and then we begin to look into the letter that was sent to the church in Revelation 3. This is the lukewarm church.

    27. THE KINGDOM PARABLES – THE SEVENTH – THE DRAGNET – PART 3 OF 6 THE DRAGNET - LAODICEA BACKGROUND AND LETTER In every Parable of the Kingdom, we have seen that each Parable remarkably fitted the church from Revelation chapters 2 and 3 that matched that Parable. I will not revise the ...read more

     | 5,895 views

    There are so many ideas about "God," How can we know what to believe. This is a teaching sermon that attempts to answer the quest.

    WITH ALL THE IDEAS ABOUT "GOD," HOW CAN WE KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE? Dr. David L. Haun Of all the things God desires in our lives, the thing He wants from us more than anything else is that we know him. In the Old Testament book of Hosea, The prophet writes: "For I delight in loyalty rather than ...read more

    This sermon shows the importance of remaining in the Lord for our spritual wellfare. To remain in Jesus we need to have the same life in us, as He did.

    The Vine and the Branches It is at the end of Jesus’ public period. He is on his way thru the big Temple in Jerusalem with his disciples. They pass the big gate into the Holy of the Temple. Above those great gates is a great cluster of Grapes carved into the stone wall. It is a picture of that ...read more

    High Priced Veal - The Golden Calf Series

    based on 8 ratings
     | 11,950 views

    We are not necessarily interested in who God is; We are interested in who God is, for us. The Hebrews create an image and call it the Lord God, they believe they are still serving the true God, but it is a lie of their imagination.

    So, I’m waiting in line at that high end culinary experience, Taco Bell, and I get into a conversation with this woman. The conversation starts off with how crazy it is that Taco Bell can make fifty menu items out of only about seven ingredients and then moves on to Christianity. At one point this ...read more

    Jesus tries to get the crowd to see the kind of shepherds the Pharisees were compared to him.

    April 22, 2002 John 10:1-10 “I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. 2 The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep. 3 The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his ...read more

    Things should become different in our lives once we renounce our former life of sin and selfishness. Our union with Christ enables us to live our lives completely for Him.

    Wanted: Dead and Alive Romans 6:1-13 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 By no means!

    The first thing David did after becoming King was to bring back the Ark. We do not have an Ark like the nation of Israel; but we still need the manifest presence of God just as much as they did then.

    SEEK FIRST "2 And David arose and went with all the people who were with him from Baale Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, whose name is called by the Name, the Lord of Hosts, who dwells between the cherubim. 3 So they set the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the ...read more

    Be Bold In Prayer

     | 3,358 views

    How many of us can as children of God approach Him boldly and ask Him for the greater blessings that He has in store for us. Today many are satisfied with leading a mediocre life of just attending church on Sunday, reading a few verses and praying.

    We read in Judges 1:14-15, Acsah went to live with Othniel. Othniel told Acsah to ask her father for some land. She went to her father. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, "What is wrong?" Acsah answered him, "Give me a blessing. You gave me dry desert land in the Negev. ...read more

    We know God loves us, but how deep does that knowledge go? God loves us as a perfect Father, as the Son, and through the Spirit. Grasp his love as you pray, believe, and love others.

    IN CHRIST, I AM…DEEPLY LOVED BY GOD—Ephesians 3:14-21 (Series on Ephesians: In Christ, I Am…) Read the sermon title from the card.
