As It Was In The Days Of Noah: For The First Sunday In Advent

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Feb 1, 2017

The church needs to stop being distracted from its God-given mission by engaging in useless speculations

As it was in the Days of Noah Matthew 24:36-44 Even in today’s increasingly biblically illiterate world, the image of Noah and the Ark persists.

Appearances Can Be Deceiving Series

Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Mar 25, 2017

Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. We sometimes base our opinion of someone on the way they look. This is risky, because a person’s appearance has nothing to do with their character.

I buried a friend of mine twelve years ago this June (6/4/09); it was a funeral unlike any I’d ever attended. My friend was a biker. He rode a big loud Harley Davidson motorcycle, wore leathers, a bandana on his head, and had a beard that covered his entire chest. His arms were covered with ...read more

Showboat Religion Series

Contributed by Jerry Owen on Mar 30, 2017

Jesus teaches about the proper way to give, to pray, and to fast. He condemns public displays of religious acts where the intent is to garner praise from people who are watching.

SHOWBOAT RELIGION MATTHEW 6:1-8, 16-18 A "showboat" is someone who tries to draw all the attention to himself. They want all the glory, all the praise.

Still waters are defined as a part of a stream where no current is visible.

William Butler Yeats, an Irish poet, writer and dramatist once remarked: “We can make our minds so like still water that beings gather about us that they may see, it may be, their own images, and so live for a moment with a clearer, perhaps even with a fiercer life because of our quiet.” Psalm ...read more

Fabricated Blessings

Contributed by Theresa Odom-Surgick on Dec 5, 2017

In this sermon, we see how satan fabricated a statement and turned it into a lie, mocking God. In life, things aren’t always what that seem to be when handed to us. A real curse may be disguised as a blessing.

Today we want to talk about "Fabricated Blessings" (SPELL IT). In teaching this subject, I want us to answer three quick questions. Number one, "What does it mean to Fabricate something?" Number two, "What does a Fabricated Blessing look like?" And number three, "How do you avoid the Eve syndrome?" ...read more
