Sermons on Dan Rather:

Without A Vision

Contributed by Curtis Kittrell on Sep 3, 2003

It is true that sinners do need to catch a revelation of God. But this verse was not written to sinners; rather, it was written to God’s people.

WITHOUT A VISION Scripture: Proverbs 29:18 INTRODUCTION This is an old revival theme. I have heard numerous sermons from this text; however, I believe the wrong emphasis is often placed on the message. Sermons from Proverbs 29:18 usually tell me about the terrible sinners of this world who are ...read more

Not So With You

Contributed by Sterling Franklin on Jun 21, 2010

Going Forward With God Series

Contributed by Joel Smith on Jan 24, 2009

A rather mediocre sermon about Jacob’s facinating encounter with God at the Jabbok. The so-so title tells it all.

If you take the Bible seriously, it’s quite a frustrating book. Within its pages are outrageous commands like “be holy” (1 Peter 1:16) and “offer the parts of your body to [God] as instruments of righteousness” (Romans 6:13). Jesus laid a heavy burden on us when He said, “…be perfect, just as ...read more

Romans 1:1-7 Series

Contributed by George Mclaughlin Jr. on Oct 7, 2009

God’s calling is not that we "straighten up" and thus become holy. But rather that we actually become "holy ones."

Outline for CBF AM April 26, 2009 Romans 1:1-7 Intro. A. What is the thrust of vv. 2-7? This is basically Paul’s greeting to the Romans. Still, his greeting is full of content!

A Merry Heart Does A Body Good...

A Merry Heart Does a Body Good… Various Scriptures July 22, 2007 I’d like to think that I’m overall, a pretty positive guy.

What Are You Doing Here? Attitudes?

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jan 19, 2007

God asked Elijah, what are you doing here? God was not in the wind, the eartquake, or the fire, but rather a still small voice.

Contributed by Michael Stark on May 14, 2011
