    Just War (Or Just Another Act Of Madness?)

    Contributed by Russell Brownworth on Sep 24, 2001

    We grapple with the ethics/morality of being involved in a war because it keeps us from becoming what we¡¦re fighting against. Deal with these questions: What is a "just" war? Will we achieve "Infinite" Justice.

    September 23, 2001 Scatter thou the people that delight in war. Psalm 68.30c What is America going to do about the terrorists? When President Bush addressed the nation Thursday night he ended with these words: Freedom and fear, justice and cruelty, have always been at war, ...read more

    We need to be justified. "Just as if I had never sinned" is what justified basically means – and that is the title I have given to this sermon.

    JUST AS IF I HAD NEVER SINNED Rom 3:9-31 INTRODUCTION Q. What direction does a Polar Bear, in its natural habitat, look when it looks back? Looks to the right? Looks to the left? And when it looks straight ahead? A. In each case it was looking South. It’s on the North Pole! Q. What does a ...read more

    Living Sacrifices

    Contributed by Tammy Garrison on Jul 17, 2002
    based on 61 ratings
     | 10,091 views

    This is the 6th sermon in a series on Paul’s letter to the Romans. The problem with living sacrifices is they keep getting down off the altar.

    “living sacrifices” Now that’s an interesting turn of phrase. It sounds like an oxymoron. Living and sacrifice don’t really seem like they go together, do they? When I think of the word ‘sacrifice’, certain images come to mind. I think of a play made in baseball, where one player is tagged out ...read more

    Big Goals For God's People

    Learn how to set big goals, keep them and become the person God wants you. This sermon won’t help you do that over night but applying the principles will certainly help you understand how to eventually.

    BIG GOALS FOR GOD’S PEOPLE Philippians 3:14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. We must set ourselves a goal, make it a big one, and make it an upward one. Small goals are easy to reach; small goals are nowhere near as satisfying when you do reach it. ...read more

    This psalm shows us how we can overcome our despair through faith in God.

    How Long O Lord Psalm 13 “How long O Lord?” Four times in this brief psalm, David makes this plaintive cry. “How long O Lord?” This psalm was, no doubt, written during a low point in David’s life. Possibly during the time when Saul is pursuing David to try to kill him. This story is told in ...read more
