Psalms 58 And 109 Series

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Mar 5, 2020

The outrage expressed in passages in these psalms are examples of times David seemed to be "fed up" with his enemies. He pours out his fury to God, not intending for his Father to act on the ills he calls for, but for God to see the passion poisoning his heart and send relief.

For Sermon Central researchers: I have posted a series of 15 sermons on the Psalms. In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated. I had too often swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as ...read more

'had I Known': Living Without Regret

Contributed by Bright Adeyeye on Dec 6, 2019

Judas experienced regrets but not repentance. We all have regrets. But God's asking us to release it.

'HAD I KNOWN': LIVING WITHOUT REGRET "Then Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had been condemned, was remorseful and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders," Matthew 27:3. For thirty silver coins, Judas Iscariot betrayed Christ. When he ...read more

David The Judge: Justice In A Messy World Series

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Oct 28, 2024

Many people see David as a failure as a judge. But the world of David's time was a messy place. There were reasons why David couldn't do all that he would have liked to do or, we might think, should have done. The Bible doesn't see David as a failure as a judge.

We’re coming towards the end of our series, ‘Learning from David’. Last week, we looked at David the king. We saw that in the Bible, the foundation of God’s throne is righteousness and justice. I suggested that if righteousness and justice are the foundation of GOD’S throne – the key ...read more

What Will Happen To The Wicked?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 29, 2022

The psalmist said, “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.”

Illus: We get the picture of a herd of wild horses, kicking their heels up, just running and having a time.

Dying To Know: The Death That Changes Everything

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 20, 2025

Jesus’ death bridged justice and mercy, redefining family through grace and offering every sinner forgiveness, belonging, and everlasting life.

1. The Question We’re All Asking Everybody’s dying to know something. What happens when we die? Why does love hurt so much? Why is the world so broken—and if God is real, why hasn’t He fixed it? Even people who don’t think much about faith still feel that gnawing ache: There has to be more than ...read more

There is a book on the market called the Shoot-em up Society by Harry Hollis, Jr. The purpose of the book is to revealed on the cover of the book. We read, “An appeal for Christian alternatives to the insanity of violence.”

But we do not have to read a book to discover that we live in a violent society. Every day we hear news reports of all kinds of violence around the world.

Extravagant Sacrifice

Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 27, 2022

“Extravagant” means: “strange, curious; exceeding the limits of reason or necessity; unreasonably high in price.” We look at Jesus’ extravagant sacrifice for us, His call for us to make the same sacrifice, & that souls are worth that sacrifice.

Saved By Grace Through Faith Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Sep 17, 2022

The Bible says people are saved by grace through faith. But what does that mean? The short answer is that when people accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, they are saved from going to hell when they die.

Saved by grace through faith. As we continue in our series Gripped by Grace, today we are going to consider Ephesians 2:8-9 “God saved you by His grace when you believed.

Ancient Paths Are Ripped Up And Crooked Ways Prevail Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 13, 2024

Our nations have bulldozed out the ancient paths that were set for us by more decent legislators and leaders in the past; indeed, by God Himself. Every moral statute of God has now been trashed – marriage, creation, birth, sexuality. Judah did that and met God’s judgement.

ANCIENT PATHS ARE RIPPED UP AND CROOKED WAYS PREVAIL {{Jeremiah 6:16 Thus says the LORD, “Stand by the ways and see, AND ASK FOR THE ANCIENT PATHS WHERE THE GOOD WAY IS, AND WALK IN IT, and you shall find rest for your souls, but they said, ‘We will not walk in it.
