Sermons on Counterfeit Religions:

Can‘t You Read The Sign!? Mark 3: 1-6

Contributed by James Lee on Nov 21, 2013

A number of times, the religionists had attacked Jesus, accusing Him of teaching a false religion. I guess they often wondered… “Hey Jesus! Can’t You read the sign!? We have rule against that kind of stuff!” In Mark chapter three we see yet another confrontation.

While thinking about this message I was reminded of a song from my hippy days… And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people need not apply" So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why He said "You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do" So I took off my ...read more

The Neutrals Series

Contributed by Shingirayi Gwete on Nov 21, 2020

Is there a neutral ground when it comes to matters of religion? Is it possible for one to consider themselves as a non-aligned? Can you take the middle ground? Can you sit on the fence? In short, can you be neither on God's side nor the devil’s side? Let us get our answers from the sermon.

Switzerland has not participated in any foreign war ever since 1815 when it established itself as a neutral country. A neutral country is defined as a state which does not take sides of belligerents (warring parties) in a specific war or future conflicts. Such states refuse to even enter into ...read more

You're Not Simple, And Neither Is God

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Jun 14, 2025

People want a "simple religion" and want to make God simple. Yet we ourselves are not simple at all, so how could our Creator be? Though God is complex, in Trinity, he displays for us love within that union, a love which models for us the love we should have for each other.

Good Morning. Give me a simple religion. It’s what a lot of people want, and it’s what a lot of people have tried to turn Christianity into through the years. Of course, if someone calls US simple, we are very offended. Yet somehow, we think the God who made us has to be simpler than we are. I am ...read more

Zechariah's Seventh Vision: Wickedness Removed Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on May 16, 2022

This vision of a woman in a basket constitutes a promise from God to His people to remove wickedness from their midst. The previous vision (#6) was about removing individual rebels. This vision is the removal of the wicked system energizing sin.

Today we come to one of the strangest passages in Scripture. It is recorded in Zechariah 5:5-11. Here Zechariah sees a vision of a basket, a woman in the basket, and two women with wings carrying the basket to Babylon. What does the basket represent? What about the woman in the basket? Are the two ...read more

Practice Missional Living: Turning Worship Into Witness And Community Into Commission Series

Contributed by Ron Auch Jr on Jun 8, 2025

Jesus didn’t say, “Attend Me.” He said, “Follow Me.” He didn’t say, “Build Me a monument.” He said, “Make disciples.” Missional living is the natural result of authentic faith. It’s what happens when the Church stops simply doing religion and starts living out the mission of Christ.

One Flock, One Shepherd: The Unfinished Mission

Contributed by Scott Maze on Nov 11, 2024

It’s not a small thing for Jesus’ followers to be scattered. He needs to gather us “so there will be one flock,” and even so there is “one shepherd.” Jesus cares for people all over the world. As one of His followers, do you care for people all over the world?
