    The Ultimate Scapegoat

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,443 views

    What was the Scapegoat, and can it's function somehow be applied to Jesus? Christ made a one-time sacrifice and atonement to cover all sins. There is no more need for a scapegoat, as the Lamb of God became the final sin offering.

    I want to begin our sermon this morning by asking if you’ve ever before heard the word “scapegoat.” This term was coined by William Tyndale, the first great English Bible translator, who I will discuss a little further later on in our message. After Tyndale, the word came to be used for a person, ...read more

    When we talk about Bible convictions, we are not talking about preferences.

    Illus: David Gibbs, is a lawyer that has fought many battles in the court room on the difference between convictions and preferences. According to the US Supreme Court - • A preference is a very strong belief, held with great strength. A preference is a strong belief, but a belief that you will ...read more

    The Best Life Has To Offer

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 8, 2022
     | 1,494 views

    Having things in common is often a major part of the initial attraction in selecting a mate for life.

    Don’t let this shock you, but some anthropologists tell us that at an unconscious level we even go so far as to choose partners who look like us. There must be some truth to that, because look at: (Humor…select a couple that everyone knows) Some may doubt the conclusions of the anthropologists, ...read more

    Mary and Joseph have different perspectives about Mary's pregnancy

    A Christmas Perspective Matthew 1:19-25 & Luke 1:26-38 Good Morning… The dictionary defines perspective as a particular attitude toward or a way of regarding something; or a point of view.

    The Joy Of Christmas Series

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on Dec 7, 2022
     | 3,797 views

    To find real joy in a world in perma-crisis, worship the Christ of Christmas. Like the wise men, seek Him out, bow before him, and give Him your very best.

    As people across the globe reel from one crisis to another, the Collins English Dictionary just last month (November 2022) revealed its 2022 word of the year: “permacrisis.” Harper Collins, the dictionary’s publisher, defines “permacrisis” as “an extended period of instability and insecurity, ...read more

     | 5,444 views

    Matthew 2:1-12 shows us three responses to Christ's birth.

    Introduction The account of the Magi, also called wise men, who came from afar to worship the one who was born king of the Jews, is a familiar one. The account is recorded only in the Gospel of Matthew. While it is a familiar story, it is also a fascinating account of men about whom we know very ...read more

    The Encounter With Jesus That Changed Everything PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 6, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 136 views

    God’s mercy through Christ’s resurrection gives us living hope, transforming our weariness and shame into courage, renewal, and confident expectation for the future.

    There are mornings when hope feels like a whisper in the wind—soft, steady, surprising. You wake up with a to-do list longer than your energy and a heart that wonders, Will anything change? Then you catch a memory of God’s kindness—a prayer answered when you had no words left, a friend’s hand in ...read more

    The Law Vs. Grace Vs. Faith PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 7, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 96 views

    God’s promises are received by faith, not by our efforts; grace, not performance, secures our acceptance and hope in Christ.

    Some of us walked in today with lists—mental ledgers of what we did right and where we fell short. We carry them like heavy backpacks. We whisper, “Maybe if I try harder, God will be pleased.” And our hearts grow tired, tight, and tentative. Then we come to Romans 4 and hear a fresh breeze blow ...read more

    Gratitude transforms us when we respond to Jesus’ mercy with obedience and thanksgiving, drawing us closer to God and shaping our hearts through prayer.

    Some of us walked in today with weary hearts, carrying questions that don’t quiet down when the lights go out. Have you ever felt like those lepers in Scripture—near enough to hear hope, far enough to feel invisible? Maybe you’ve been standing “afar off,” waiting for a word, wondering if God still ...read more

     | 142 views

    True greatness is found in serving others with everyday acts of kindness, recognizing and loving Jesus in the overlooked and ordinary people around us.

    Some of the most breathtaking moments with Jesus arrive in ordinary clothes. A paper cup of water handed to a weary worker. A brown-bag sandwich shared on a bench. A text sent at midnight that says, “I’m here.” He has a way of walking into our Mondays and Market Streets, our waiting rooms and ...read more

     | 137 views

    The sermon encourages perseverance in doing good, assuring that faithful, unseen efforts matter and will ultimately yield a harvest in God’s perfect timing.

    Some of us walked in today a little weary, a little worn, and a little wondering. You’ve been faithful in the small things—praying for prodigals, blessing neighbors, showing up for work with integrity, holding your tongue when it would be easier to snap, trusting God when the calendar feels crowded ...read more

    True contentment comes not from circumstances or possessions, but from trusting in God’s constant presence and faithfulness in every moment of our lives.

    Some of us walked in today with hearts humming like a beehive—busy with bills, budgets, and bank balances. We feel it in our shoulders, see it in our calendars, hear it in the sighs we release in traffic and the whispers we mutter at the mailbox. We carry comparison like a backpack of bricks. We ...read more

    Even when separated or hindered, God’s presence unites and sustains us, making our love and faith in Christ endure until His return.

    If you’ve ever waved goodbye at an airport gate or watched a taillight fade down a long highway, you know the quiet ache of separation. We stand on porches and in parking lots, with a smile on the lips and a lump in the throat, and we whisper, “Until later.” Our hearts carry faces and names. Our ...read more

    Trusting God in seasons of waiting, we cultivate patience and steadfast hearts, confident that He is working and His promises will be fulfilled in His perfect timing.

    Friends, if your calendar has been crammed with waiting—waiting on a phone call, waiting on a breakthrough, waiting on the fog to lift—then you are in good company today. The Bible does not blush about the ache of “How long, Lord?” It speaks straight to the heart that beats a little faster when the ...read more
