Sermons on Complicity:

The Prosperity Of God

Contributed by J. Yeargin on Dec 1, 2006

...there have been some who have gone off the deep end with the teaching of prosperity. This is probably one of the most exaggerated (supposed) moves of God in this generation of believers.

THE PROSPERITY OF GOD Sometimes in the Charismatic and/or Pentecostal movements, there have been some extremes. There have been those that have made the mistake of trying to exaggerate what God is actually doing. God doesn’t really want us to become some kind of an extremist in how we live our ...read more

The Victory Of The Crucified King

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 25, 2022

Pearl Harbor (December 7, 1941), the assassination of President Kennedy (November 22, 1963), and the terrorist act upon America (September 11, 2001) are all considered "infamous" days. The true "day of infamy" was 2000 years ago, when we attempted to kill God Incarnate.

The central theme of the Gospel is that the Lord Jesus was placed upon the cross for the redemption of our sins. It was an act of mercy, love, grace, and salvation that we did not deserve (Romans 5:6-11). It was also the day that rebellious humanity shook its fist at God Almighty, and the ...read more
