Sermons on Collide:

Already, But Not Yet

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 23, 2022

What are the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God? Where are they located? Does knowing hold any significance for the believer? The kingdom was part of Jesus' message, and it should be a part of our message too.

The Curse Of Sin - Part 1 Series

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Nov 17, 2021

Sin left a curse. God’s curse is the absence of His blessings and the fall of Adam and Eve is only one of two places in the Bible where God pronounces a curse (the other being on Cain). There is a greater reality we often fail to see and that is there is hope in the curse.

Consequences – You Don’t Avoid Them Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 14, 2025
