What Do You Believe About Jesus?

Contributed by Tim Patrick on Aug 11, 2005

This sermon explains the importance of developing a proper understanding of Jesus identity.

What do you believe about Jesus Christ? Does it matter what you believe about Him? Many people tell us that if you believe a certain way you are intolerant. Others say it does not matter what you believe as long as you believe. Instead of seeking man’s opinion I want to look at what Jesus had ...read more

Give Mutual Acceptance To The Body Of Christ Series

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Feb 2, 2010

Proclaiming Christ Crucified Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Apr 3, 2022

Our faith is in the testimony of God, the work of the Spirit of God and the power of God. Our faith lies in the message and not the messenger, in the work of His Spirit and power and not in human wisdom.

Elijah The Prophet Of Fire Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 11, 2021

Elijah broke into the atmosphere of human history like a comet. We have no story of his birth or background. His coming was as sudden and mysterious as was his going in the flaming chariot.

Elijah was the Luther of the Old Testament. He was God's man of the hour to begin a reformation and lead the children of Israel back to God. For about 50 years devotion to God had been decreasing. Ahab was now king in Israel, and he was more wicked than all who had gone before him. He married ...read more

Live God Aloud

Contributed by Selvan John on Jan 30, 2008

This sermon challenges to view life from the exemplary living of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.

The theme that I wanted to highlight in this sermon is about how we live and through our living how we proclaim to the others the way we live, that is why I have titled it as, “Live God Aloud.” The scripture that I have taken is from Galatians 1:24 that states, “And they praised God because of ...read more

God is going to reach a lost world through the empowering of the Holy Spirit and His church. We depend on One and devote to building His church through the teaching of His Word, fellowship, communion and prayer.

Love Makes The Simple Complex Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

Many Christians had no problem with relating to their pagan family and friends by eating this meat offered to idols. Life would have been so simple if other Christians had not taken an opposite view.

Dr. James H. Robinson, a great black preacher in New York, tells of how he use to sit on the steps of the public library in Knoxville. He would watch the white people go in, and he would be filled with resentment because he wanted to read and learn, but the doors were closed to blacks. He came ...read more

When Opposites Are The Same Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

It is hard for Christians to believe this paradoxical truth that opposites can be the same. That is why so few Christians have a Biblical attitude toward other Christians who hold opposite views.

A cartoon pictures the door of an office in the central government building of Moscow. The sign reads, Commissar for the Electrification of all the Russias. Underneath is a bit of paper on which is written, "Please knock-bell out of order." We can see the humor in the great ...read more
