     | 4,885 views

    Today we finish the series with Jesus talking about those who put his words into practice and those who don't. Those who build their house on the rock and those who build their house on the sand. He describes the outcome of each when storms come.

    THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT (part 22) Matthew 7:24-29 1) The house on the rock. Matt. 7:24-25, “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

    Psalm 2 Series

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Feb 25, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,192 views

    The first two psalms are often considered to be designed as a pair serving as an introduction to the 150-psalm collection. The first psalm describes the difference between the blessed man and the evil man, and Psalm 2 is about triumph over the forces that oppose the faith.

    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

    What did Jesus mean when He said "I am the bread of life" and what difference does that make to us?

    A man had just moved into town and stopped at local restaurant for dinner. The waiter did his best to please him but the man complained that he’d only received one piece of bread with his meal, so the waiter promptly brought him four slices. The man said, "That’s good, but not good enough. I ...read more

    This message describes Jesus' response to the Pharisees because His disciples did not fast. The Pharisees opposition stemmed from a defense of the status quo. Jesus came to smash the status quo and create something new and superior.

     | 10,010 views

    Before Jesus was crucified, the cross was a symbol of suffering and shame. After Jesus’ resurrection, the Disciples and the whole world came to see and understand the cross in a whole new way. It became a symbol of hope, new life, and victory.

    The great Bible commentator William Barclay described a tragic event that took place early in young Jesus’ life, when Jesus was somewhere around the age of 10 or 11.

    The boundaries that God set for our existence is redefined by man. In the midst of such a world today, God is calling us to build the walls. Furthermore, God is looking for people who can stand in the gap and live for God’s purposes.

    Out of the darkness comes the light. Every workday, at dawn’s early light, Kevin Napier crawls into a long, black hole. Coal mining is safer than it used to be, though it’s still dusty and dirty, and there’s always concern that something terrible could happen deep inside a cramped shaft.

    Ephesians 5:8–14 NRSV 8 For once you were darkness, but now in the Lord, you are light. Live as children of light— 9 for the fruit of the light is found in all that is good and right and true. 10 Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord. 11 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but ...read more

     | 5,877 views

    A radio message designed to encourage believers to rejoice in the peace Christ offers those who walk with Him. The world defines "peace" in a manner that is unattainable. Christ offers peace that is the heritage of each person who knows Him as Master over life.

    “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid” [JOHN 14:27].
