Women Saved Through Childbearing?

Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 7, 2010

God At The Fall Of Humanity Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Jul 31, 2014

Concerning God in the Garden: He is there, creating purpose. He is there, giving freedom He is there, seeking the disobedient He is there, allowing consequences He is there, providing/promising redemption

The Magi Surface Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Dec 21, 2015

The visit of the Magi piques our curiosity but also reveals the importance of honoring Jesus Christ — no matter how much effort it takes.

The Magi Surface (Matthew 2:1-12) 1. Some people think the Bible teaches that the fruit Adam and Eve ate in the Garden was an apple….. probably a fig.

Meeting God In The Garden Series

Contributed by Brian Williams on Mar 7, 2024

Adam and Eve's sin brought a whole set of problems to the human race: conflict, pain, hardship, alienation from God and each other, and finally death. God could have scrapped all of creation but instead He announced a solution to the sin problem through Eve’s descendant.

Now You Know The Rest Of The Story

Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Jun 6, 2018

A sermon built around Paul Harvey's phrase: "Now you know the rest of the story." It looks at the story of Adam and Eve, our part in the story, and Jesus'.

Today’s text is an interesting one. It doesn’t start at verse 26. It even doesn’t start at verse one of the chapter, nor does it even begin in chapter 22 on Maundy Thursday. It doesn’t even begin at chapter one, verse one of Luke. We’re not getting the whole story this morning. It is like ...read more

Snakes On A Plain

Contributed by Matt Hoffmann on Mar 19, 2009

The Centurion At The Feet Of Jesus Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 11, 2018

The story of this Centurion is listed in 3 of the Gospels because God wants us to see what he saw. What did the centurion see that day, and why did he cry out "Surely this was the Son of God"?

In the days of Jesus the most feared soldiers on the face of the earth were those of the Legions Of Rome. These men were practically invincible. It seemed to no nation of the day could stand against them. And one of the reasons they were so powerful and so feared was because their armies were led ...read more
