Sermons on David Barton:

Grace For The Humble

Contributed by Larry Grant on Jul 16, 2023

King Rehoboam walked away from God, refusing to serve the Lord like David his grandfather or Solomon his father. He simply refused to commit his life to God and he and his people paid a terribly high price. God is worthy of our very best. A we must humble ourselves and give it.

2 Chronicles 12:1-10 Grace for the Humble July 16, 2023 The Apostle Peter says, “God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

What's In A Crumb?

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Mar 29, 2023

Mark 7:24-30 tells a powerful story about a woman who needed a desperate intervention in her life. A woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit and heard about him. She says, "Have mercy on me, o son of David: for my daughter is grievously vexed with a demon".

1 John 3:8, it tells us, "For this purpose the Son of God was manifested". Now when you read John's gospel in the first chapter it tells us very clearly, "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. And nothing was created without him". ...read more

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Apr 13, 2019

Our Lord has emotions. We see it both in the Old Testament and the New Testament. When He entered into Jerusalem on a donkey to the shouts of "Hosanna" why did He weep. Does He weep or rejoice over us?

Sermon $ 42 - God Of Restoration Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 1, 2023

God specializes in restoring those who are lost and gone away from Him. Everyone needs to be in the place God has assigned for us, for only there are we assured of God’s protection, privilege and we will also find our true worth.

We read in Luke 15:20, “And he rose up and went to his own father. But while he was yet a long way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell upon his neck, and covered him with kisses.” (Darby) We meditated a little on this passage in the last sermon, considering ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 19, 2023

A shepherd must NOT be driven by the world’s agenda or ideology or greed. Righteous paths today are more difficult with all the liberal theology (satanic denial), WOKE, and Marxism pervading society and the church. The pastor must be skilled to lead the sheep in correct ways.

Sermon # 35 - The Sanctity Of Marriage Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 14, 2023

Marriage is God’s idea and the directive for a happy marriage is given by God Himself. When we honor marriage and treat our spouse the way God wants us to, our homes will be blessed and our families will be a blessing to many.

We read in Matthew 22:2, “The kingdom of heaven is like to a certain king, who made a marriage for his son..”(Webster) Have you ever wondered why the kingdom of heaven is likened to the marriage of a king’s son? Often we consider marriage to be a normal part of our lives, but fail to realize that ...read more

The Better King Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 17, 2022

What is it about Jesus that makes Him a better King than any ruler who has ever lived... or ever will? The answer is "He's the King of righteousness", the "King of peace", and that he lives forever. But what would that mean to us?

OPEN: There’s a parable about the donkey that carried Jesus into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. When the donkey awoke the next day he walked into town and strutted in front of some people gathered at a well. But they didn’t notice him. They just went on drawing water and paid him no mind.

The True Meaning Of Christmas

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Dec 11, 2024

Is Jesus pleased with the Christmas that are celebrated everywhere? Many people celebrate Christmas but do not know the true meaning of Christmas. John 3:16 shows the true meaning of Christmas.

Every December, hundreds of millions, even billions of people around the world celebrate the birth of Jesus. Throughout history, no one's birth has been celebrated as widely as Jesus. In general, we are happy when friends remember and celebrate our birthdays. Do you think Jesus is happy with ...read more

Why Bethlehem? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 21, 2014

In the day of Jesus, Bethlehem wasn't very impressive. And yet God chose it as the birthplace of the King. Why?

Series: Limiting The Holy One Of Israel (Part 3) My God Is God Of The Mountain And God Of The Valley)

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 10, 2020

The Bible harbors records of God using ordinary people: David, Joseph, Peter, Paul, Gideon, Jephthah, Moses, Esther, Mary, etc. Yet we see our problems and say: "Those problems God can solve, but not mine". Dan. 11:32 "They that know their God shall be strong and do exploits".

Anointed Fugitive Series

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 23, 2024

Samuel anointed David. But now, he's a fugitive, holed up in a cave! He isn't happy. But he does exactly the right thing. We can learn from him for the times when we feel everyone has abandoned us, when we're in a dark, damp, smelly metaphorical cave.

Last week we started a new series looking at David in the Old Testament. I made two very simple points. First, David is a huge figure in the Bible. There is loads about him in the Old Testament. That alone means that David must be really important. But even more significant is the way the New ...read more
