No Condemnation

Contributed by Michael Carter on Nov 9, 2019

Living in Christ means that our minds and hearts will continue to grow and conform in Him, but our old selves don't want to let go and our common enemy will find ways to remind us of our failures.

No Condemnation Just a show of hands please. Who here wants to live a life of regrets? Ok. And a show of hands for who wants to life a life of rejection? Anyone? OK. How about a show of hands for who wants to have a life of pain and anguish? What? No takers? Hard crowd. Ok, let me try another ...read more

Freedom From Generational Curses

Contributed by James Dina on Jan 24, 2021

Why would God want you to confess the sins of your father or mother when you had nothing to do with their sins in the first place? He wants you to know the severity of their sins. A generational curse comes through the blood line and can only be cancelled by the blood of Jesus.

FREEDOM FROM GENERATIONAL CURSES “Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth generation” (Exodus ...read more

Knowing God

Contributed by Hiram Withers on May 20, 2019

I spent a lot of years angry at God. I was so angry that there came a point that I decided he was a fable, he did not exist, he was a crutch for the weak who could not handle the troubles of life. I took every opportunity to prove to others they were living a lie. That was until the faithful ...read more

A Word To The Wise On What God Hates Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 9, 2013

There’s an old saying "God hates the sin, but loves the sinner." But the Bible actually tells me God hates sinners. How can that be?

A man was driving down a country road, and - off to the side of the road - he saw an old tumbledown barn. On the side of the barn- a young man had apparently painted this message: "I love you, Kathy." The man smiled as he drove on and thought about the beauty of those few simple words. A few ...read more

A Deadly Virus

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 3, 2010

Sin is not excused by good works, and unrepentant self-indulgence is destructive. Sexual integrity is not just a private matter; how we handle it will determine what happens with our church.

This has the potential for being the shortest sermon I’ve ever done. At first glance, it seems all I need to do with this text is to praise the church for doing so well, declare myself to be against sin, and wrap it up. The shortest sermon I’ve ever done, and maybe the shortest on record! Anybody ...read more
