Sermons on Crisis Situation:

At The Feet Of Jesus

Contributed by Greg Warren on Mar 19, 2013

This sermon was a part of a series I did during our church's annual 21-day church-wide fast. We were looking at different elements of a fast. This message focuses on a fast as a time to simply sit at the feet of Jesus and enjoy His presence.

Today I want to take a closer look at the life of a woman we meet in the Bible. She seems to have this “intimacy with God” thing figured out about as well as anyone. Her name is Mary. And the interesting thing about Mary is where you often find her in relation to Jesus in various ...read more

The Great Priority

Contributed by Hans Krause on Oct 22, 2018

Jesus’ great priority was to proclaim the good news that God’s kingdom is at hand. When we pray the words that Jesus taught us: “Your kingdom come, your will be done,” that is when we align our priority in life with his great priority.

America - The Spiritual Winds Of Change.

Contributed by John Martin on Jun 19, 2018

Much has changed in America since the 50's, a nation once a lighthouse now is collapsing into sinfulness. What can the church do to change that?

We all were taken back this week by the events in Parkland, Florida. Each time it happens everyone seems utterly befuddled as to the whys. Most often like Adam and Eves sin it becomes a blame game. But no one seems to stop and look at just what has changed in America in the last 45 or so ...read more

Amazed And Afraid

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 27, 2022

When someone is saved, he or she will become "amazed" by how God is working. But when they get to a certain point in their journey, God might require the individual to take a step of faith, at which point he or she will become "afraid."

This morning I wish to speak with you about a common pattern that occurs in many individual relationships with the Lord. The trend that happens over and over, and the one that we will see in our passage of Scripture, is this: An individual will come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, and grow ...read more

Fear is a part of the human condition; however, our fears would cease if we would place our hope in Jesus Christ, instead of the false securities that we’ve built up through our occupations, activities, or the many masks we wear.

I read an Internet article from that same time period, which says the No Fear slogan “has come to symbolize a ‘cutting edge’ lifestyle” and has ...read more
