Sermons on Courageous Kindness:

The Highest Kind Of Love

Contributed by Trevor Chuma on Feb 5, 2019

One day Jesus was eating with his disciples, and he asked this question to Peter, he said; “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”

Peter responded and said; “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you” (John 21:15). The word love which Jesus included in his question is translated from the Greek Word Agape and it means self giving love, the love which one sacrifices himself in place of another. This love means that you put ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 27, 2021

For many today, life is all about appearances. We live in an age where people want to APPEAR one way but the reality is the opposite of their appearance.

Illus: During the Oscars in Hollywood in 2004, the actors and actresses tried to give the impression that they cared about poverty.

Three Kinds Of Peace

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 8, 2022

A Christian man got very involved in collegiate football. He had one team in particular that he pulled for each week. When they won, he had a wonderful week-end, but if they lost he had a terrible week-end.

His joy and peace within his heart each week was determined by the football team that he supported. He was allowing a couple dozen college boys that he did not know personally decide on what kind of week end he was going to have. The fact is, many folks allow THINGS and PEOPLE to decide what kind ...read more

Two Kinds Of Wildernesses

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 24, 2022

Do you feel like you're in the wilderness with no way out? This message looks at two possible reasons why someone might wind up there, by examining both the “sin-driven wilderness” and “Spirit-driven wilderness.”

Native Americans, for example, will journey into the wilderness on a vision quest; thrill seekers will flock to the mountains and remote places in search of adventure; those who are overworked will retreat there for peace ...read more

Kind And Comforting Words Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Oct 18, 2021

The oracle given in Zechariah 1:12-17 is expounded. These comforting words are applicable to God's people today. We sometimes wonder when God will intervene in our behalf just as the Jews did in our text.

Have you ever been treated unjustly and wondered why God seemed to ignore the oppression? When Babylon conquered Israel in 586 BC, they were extremely cruel to the captive Jews. Those Jews were experiencing God’s correction in their lives. But the Babylonians went way beyond that. They exacted an ...read more

All Kinds Of People Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 18, 2023

You can learn from observing people. It is amazing that King Solomon could see this much from his palace. Solomon was observing people who were working hard, and he observed that their inward motive was envy. We could find this type of person very commonly.

You can learn a lot from watching people. You could be at the Atlanta airport at the busiest airport in the world or at a quiet rural restaurant and you will find a variety of people. We can become students of people. Knowing what makes people tick and learning from others is wise. We are ...read more
