    Going With The Flow, Embracing Change Series

    Contributed by Timothy Darling on Feb 9, 2008
    based on 5 ratings
     | 19,407 views

    What God is about to do is so great, and so important and so impressive that what He has done in the past pales in comparison. If you persist in holding too tightly to the greatness of what He did in the past, you will miss the greatness of what He is goi

    Going with the flow, embracing change Isaiah 43:16-21 God’s changelessness is a powerful and important doctrine in our faith. God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? (Numbers 23:19 ...read more

    Refusing God's Grace

    Contributed by Joe Mack Cherry on Mar 12, 2023
     | 992 views

    Heb. 12:14-29 tells us how important it is to trust God's grace and to see that others do not miss the grace of God It also gives us good side by side comparison of the Mosaic Law and the Gospel and why grace is so special.

    Refusing the Grace of God. By Joe Mack Cherry I. Introduction A. The Pull of the Old Law 1. Many of the first century Jewish converts struggled with the freedom that the New Law provided. 2.

    Sermon # 43- No Room For Self-Righteousness Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 21, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 446 views

    Self-righteous Jonah rejoiced over a plant that gave him shade, but had not compassion on the people of Nineveh who genuinely repented of their sins. There’s no room for self-righteousness, as all of us are sinners saved by God's grace alone.

    We read in Jonah 4:6, “Then the LORD God made a plant grow up over Jonah to give him some shade, so that he would be more comfortable. Jonah was extremely pleased with the plant.” (GNB) As we studied the life of Jonah there are numerous lessons that we have picked up, both for our personal lives, ...read more

    When Emotions Stifle Our Conscience Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 15, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,669 views

    Many people are struggling with jealousy. Notice how jealousy arises in our hearts only when we compare ourselves with others. Most often our comparisons are only with those who are doing better than us, never with those who have much less than us.

    When emotions stifle our conscience In Genesis 42:21, we read, “Then they said to one another, “In truth we are guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul, when he begged us and we did not listen. That is why this distress has come upon us.” (ESV) These are the words ...read more

    Sermon # 39 - Eradicate Envy Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 15, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,338 views

    Are we targets of envy or do we sometimes envy others? Jealousy is a strong emotion that can cause much harm, and God’s word teaches us how to deal with it and be rid of it from our lives.

    We read in Hebrews 13:5, Don't love money. Be happy with what you have because God has said, "I will never abandon you or leave you." (GW) One of the crucial emotions that a majority of people struggle with, is that of jealousy, though many feel uncomfortable to accept this fact. If ...read more

     | 588 views

    Fight the bullies in your life with God’s ability, with God’s authority, and within God’s assignment.

    In his book Fuzzy Memories, Jack Handey tells the story of a bully who demanded his lunch money every day when he was a child. Because Handey was smaller than the bully, he simply gave the bully his money. “Then I decided to fight back,” Handey says. “I started taking karate lessons, but the ...read more

    Sermon # 7 - Time To Stop Murmuring Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,341 views

    Do we find ourselves complaining and murmuring about many things? Why do we do so, and how can we stop doing this? This sermon will help us examine ourselves in the light of God’s word.

    If we as a church today desire to resemble the early church, and if our aspiration is that people should be added in great numbers, then it is only appropriate that we not only evaluate ourselves in the light of God’s word, but also investigate to see what the early church did differently that made ...read more

    One person once observed: “If men will not understand the meaning of judgment, they will never come to understand the meaning of grace.” So, what is the "meaning of judgment"? And what does that tell us about "the meaning of grace"?

    How Is God’s Word Like Rain And Snow?

     | 5,150 views

    “A lamp.” “A fire.” “A hammer.” “A sword.” “Spirit.” “Life.” “Truth.” “Seed.” “Milk.” “Solid food.” These are all descriptions of God's Word. Isaiah adds two more images to the list. Rain and snow.

    “A lamp.” “A fire.” “A hammer.” “A sword.” “Spirit.” “Life.” “Truth.” “Seed.” “Milk.” “Solid food.” What am I talking about? Throughout the Scriptures the Word of God is compared to different things. Each of those comparisons helps us better understand the power and purpose behind what ...read more

    I would like to thank Pastor Jerry Shirley for sharing this series on Acts. It has been a blessing as well as a great help. I have used these for our church, as I spend my days caring for my dying father.

    “Fence Riding is For Cowboys” Acts 5:33-39 Gamaliel was a man who helped give the disciples a break and what he said in verse 39 was probably the smartest thing he had ever said, which always caused me to think highly of this man.
