    Appointed Once To Die

    Contributed by John Gaston on Sep 3, 2025
     | 448 views

    There’s an alternative explanation of death being taught in the US culture, very subtly. It has been adopted by 43% of Americans and even one-quarter (25%) of U.S. Christians. Hebrews 9:27 is the antidote for this serious sickness!

    APPOINTED ONCE TO DIE Heb. 9:27 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: 4 actual tombstones 1.

    Building Godly Character

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Nov 1, 2025
     | 362 views

    Our culture often tells us to avoid suffering at any cost, to seek pleasure and ease above all else. Paul declares with the authority of heavenly insight that suffering is not without purpose. In God's kingdom, character is currency.

    OPENING ILLUSTRATION: There is a story told among the Cherokee Indians… One evening an old Cherokee Indian told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between 2 wolves. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, ...read more

    What's Inside?

    Contributed by Keith Manry on Sep 5, 2003
    based on 10 ratings
     | 7,228 views

    In a culture obsessed with diets it seems that everyone’s obsessed with what goes inside because it effects how we look on the outside. The Pharisees weren’t much different. But Jesus said it’s what’s on the inside that counts!

    What’s Inside? Mark 7:1-8; 14-23 Move 1 – Swallowed Penny Story - I’ll never forget it. I might have been eight years old when one day my parents told us to sit still while they ran into the store to grab something. The same guidelines always applied when we were told to remain in the van: we were ...read more

    based on 17 ratings
     | 3,584 views

    The call of John the Baptizer still rings true in the 21st century. Our culture seeks to do away with sin by calling it a "privacy" issue. The scriptures call our acts of disobedience againts God and our fellow man....sin.

    Contributed by Billy Ricks on Dec 20, 2005
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,025 views

    It seems that Christ is not the center of the festivities. It takes an effort in our culture today to keep Jesus front and center at this time of the year. It is amazing how much Christmas is not about Jesus Christ to many. Most people do not have one s

    Into: The picture in Luke chapter nineteen should be familiar to us at this time of year. No matter where Jesus went he drew a crowd. This time of year we see crowds as well. But it is not necessarily because Jesus is at the center. The Christmas season malls, stores, Wal-Mart, even many ...read more

    based on 36 ratings
     | 29,481 views

    There is no wonder there is an Identity Crisis in the local church today. In our text for examination, we find the disciples of Christ were also locked into an Identity Crisis some 2,000 years ago. In our modern culture there is more and more confusion

    Our culture indoctrinates us so that we wind up believing some things about God, the Bible or Christianity that just aren’t true. This week we look at a popular idea, all good people go to heaven.

    Wonderwoman isn’t the only female Superhero. We have many from our culture and from the Bible. Today, we’re going to look at one of them, Sarah, who laid a foundation for Judaism, Christianity and Islam

    Sarah Genesis 12:1-4 When I was growing up, there was really only one female superhero and it was Wonderwoman.

    A Fractured Fairy Tale

    Contributed by John Sears on Jul 9, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,456 views

    If there one passage that defines this culture, it is Matthew 7:1-5. Since the Supreme Court legalized same sex marriage, this passage has been pushed to the forefront. This message examines what Jesus meant when he said, "Do not judge."

    A Fractured Fairy Tale Introduction When I was growing up, there was an older cartoon show that I enjoyed watching. It was the Rocky and Bullwinkle show. And while I thought the conflict between the heroes and the villains (Boris and Natasha) was funny what I found really clever was the ...read more

     | 21,991 views

    Justification sounds like a $20 word that nobody would use outside of Church. But surprisingly the words justify and justification are interwoven into our culture and are used in ways that tell us a lot about what God did when He justified us.
