Christians In Peril

Contributed by Anthony Smith on Nov 24, 2004

We come today to the end of our series of sermons on the book of Ephesians. One of the things I hope you’ve noticed as we’ve gone through this book is the breadth of Paul’s horizons.

Don't Lower The Flag!

Contributed by Robbie Parsons on Feb 16, 2008

A flag can tell us a lot about a nation or it’s people. A flag becomes a symbol of that body. It can become so revered, that it can cause men and women fight to their death for it’s cause. And a flag is usually on a pole at a high or prominent place to

In the scripture that we have read, there is a reference to setting up the standard. Scholars tell us that the word used here can mean a rallying point, a signal, a banner or a flag. And to set up the standard simply means to raise the flag. A flag can tell us a lot about a nation or it’s ...read more

Do you remember when we looked at Paul’s prayer in Eph 3 that I commented how difficult it is to achieve the sort of unity that God wants from his church. In fact I pointed out that that’s why Paul prays the way he does: because only by God’s power can this miracle come about. Paul knows that apart ...read more

Blessed Are The Peacemakers

Contributed by Chris Surber on May 24, 2007

Each of us is a wounded warrior in the battle of life. We don’t have strength enough to fight the battles on our own. But as we surrender our brokenness to God, He will give us the strength to be peacemakers. He makes up the difference between our abil

What Would You Have Me To Do?

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Apr 6, 2018

Pick your battles wisely...make the right choice. That was some good advice, because the only thing more scandalous than believing God can do everything, is fighting against God when He is doing what He said He would do!

What would you have me to do? Mark 4:35-41 MSG 35-38. Late that day he said to them, “Let’s go across to the other side.” They took him in the boat as he was. Other boats came along. A huge storm came up. Waves poured into the boat, threatening to sink it. And Jesus was in the stern, head on a ...read more

Forgiving Difficult People Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

Jesus taught about dealing with difficult people. He stressed how we should not run away from our problems, or fight back against opposition, but that we should persist with people, so we can one day win them to faith in Christ.

There is nothing easy about the world in which we live. This is a world full of people, and if we are going to succeed in life, or be effective at sharing the gospel, we must learn how to deal with people, especially those who are difficult; and we must learn to love them no matter how they treat ...read more

Psalm 42 Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 11, 2020

Is There Not A Cause?

Contributed by Melvin Newland on May 19, 2015

"Is there not a cause?" David's question is a pretty good question today, too. What are we concerned about? What cause motivates our lives, our church? You see, we need a cause that motivates us!

Facing Your Giants SermonCentral

Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 10, 2023

In a world filled with daunting challenges, many are too fearful to confront them. David, however, faced a literal giant, despite the fear and criticism from those around him. His question, 'Is there not a Cause?', challenges us to confront our own giants with courage and faith.

David, the youngest son of Jesse, was sent by his father to bring food to his brothers who were serving in Saul's army. Little did David know that he would encounter a giant named Goliath, who was defying the armies of Israel. While everyone else was filled with fear and hesitation, David boldly ...read more
