    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022
     | 1,657 views

    In this sermon I want to look at the Jewish Sabbath. When we start to look at some of the ridiculous things that the Jews taught about the Sabbath, it shocks us

    Illus: This reminds me of a young boy that found himself in the locker room of the local YWCA. When he was spotted, the room burst into screams of horror, with ladies grabbing towels and running for cover.

     | 1,128 views

    We want to look again at the importance of following good examples.

    We understand the importance, as Christians, of not following the many bad examples that many lost people display in their lives, but NEW CONVERTS do not hear much, or see much, about following the good examples the Bible tells about and the stories of great Christians through the years have set ...read more

    Vince Lombardi, the football coach, goes down in the history books as one of the all-time greats, if not the greatest, coach ever.

    . Why? Among other things, his team won three consecutive world championships at Green Bay. Anyone who knows anything about professional football knows this is a tremendous achievement. There has to be a reason for a team to make such an outstanding achievement and the reason was because of ...read more

    O, To Be A Swallow Psalm 84 – A Psalm Of The Sons Of Korah Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 7, 2022
     | 1,821 views

    This beautiful Psalm written by one of the Sons of Korah and set to music, is a fervent desire to be with the Lord and in His presence. His whole being longs for the Lord, to be in His courts. It is a really edifying Psalm.

    Occasionally I lose things and can not find them. Since my children are grown up and no longer live with us, I have no one to blame it on.

    Thank God for wives who can find things! It seems the older we get the more we forget things! Illus: Sometimes I feel like the woman who stood at the bottom of the staircase and she could not remember if she just came down or was going to go up. I must also confess that there are days that I ...read more

     | 4,452 views

    Palm Sunday represents the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem as King of Israel. Although all his life He had been poor and obscure, at last His identity as the Son of David was recognized, nationally. Every knee shall bow & every tongue confess the King!

    THE RETURN OF THE KING Luke 19:12-15,27 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: UNLOADING THE WORD 1. Pastor Ken Sumrall tells a story from his days of pasturing in Mississippi years ago.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 10,566 views

    Many people have expectations of what God can do for them. But that's not how it works. We were saved to do things for Him. Why?

    I’ve been told that when people come to God –– they have certain expectations. They have certain opinions of what they think God should DO for them. They visualize a God who is going to do what they want done. ILLUS: A woman named Donna had a conversation with her 4 year old niece. The little ...read more

     | 1,123 views

    These commandments deal with every segment of society.

    Illus: A preacher was talking to a teenage girl one day about the Lord when she told him, “I have a hard time living up to the Bible." Then she added, "But I do try to live up to the ten commandments." To hear this young lady talk you would think she rejects all scripture except the ...read more

    David went further than only fulfilling his promise, between himself and the Late-Jonathan, in delivering Mephiboseth from Lodebar; he showed God's kindness by allowing Mephiboseth to sit and eat at the king's table for the rest of his life.

    God is Kind II Samuel 9:1-12 David asked, “Is there anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan’s sake?” Now there was a servant of Saul’s household named Ziba. They summoned him to appear before David, and the king said to him, ...read more

     | 17,101 views

    I would like to thank Pastor Jerry Shirley for sharing this series on Acts. It has been a blessing as well as a great help. I have used these for our church, as I spend my days caring for my dying father.

    “Lord I can’t do this anymore” Acts 18:1-11 I guess all of us at one time or another get depressed and feel like giving up. In the heat of a moment we may feel like saying: “there’s no use going on because the harder I try, the worse things seem to get. I ...read more

    You Can Have A Happy Family

    Contributed by John Lowe on Dec 9, 2015
     | 8,609 views

    Happiness is not the goal of the gospel of Jesus Christ for our lives, even though that is one of the benefits of salvation. Instead, we find in the Bible that obedience to God must always take precedence over “the fleeting pleasures of sin."

    November 27, 2004 Title: You Can Have a Happy Family Text: “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33). Scripture Reading: 25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or ...read more

    A sermon on the true "Saint Nicholas" and his love for Jesus Christ.

    Christmas: Is Santa for Real? Matthew 2:11; 6:1-4 One of the best aspects about Christmas, frankly, is going into stores or watching a parade and…as it gets near the end - there he is! It’s an odd looking fellow dressed in a red suit! His name, of course, is “Santa Claus” ...read more

    Contributed by Shawn Miller on Jan 1, 2016
    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,988 views

    After praying for a message for 2016, I'm bringing a word to beware of pride as described for the most part in 2 Timothy 3:1 but using supporting texts also.

    Pride in the Last Days Introduction: Usually its typical and appropriate to preach about new beginnings and resolutions during the new year. I've done so in the past and reckon I will do so again -in the future but this year is different, perhaps because the times we live in are different. But ...read more

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 4, 2016
     | 7,228 views

    When we look at the account of the wise men we will see some reasons why they were wise. The characteristics that made the wise men so wise are the same ones that will make us wise too.

    WHAT MADE THE WISE MEN SO WISE? Matt. 2:1-14 INTRODUCTION: Today I’ll be talking about the wise men’s part in the Christmas story. You might be wondering why I am doing a Christmas sermon after Christmas. Well, I’m focusing on the wise men specifically after Christmas because ...read more
