Sermon # 37 - The Father's Love Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 17, 2025

The love that God the Father demonstrated when He sent His only begotten Son Jesus into this world is unfathomable. It’s this love of God that saved us, protects us, provides for our needs, trusts and accepts us in spite of all our faults and failings.

For our meditation today let me highlight this verse from 1 John 3:1, “See how much the Father has loved us! His love is so great that we are called God's children—and so, in fact, we are.” (GNB) Can you imagine the amazing love God the Father has lavished on us, that we have the wonderful ...read more

Is The Lord Your Shepherd

Contributed by Christopher Nerreau on Mar 10, 2005

In the 23rd Psalm we see David reflecting upon his life from the Green Pastures of his youth to the valley of the shadow of death(which was not far off). He notes one common theme namely that the Lord was his shepherd, today can we say the same thing?

Is The Lord My Shepherd? Psalm 23 ORIENTATION: • Have you ever taken a moment to reflect upon your life? • To simply stop what you are doing, be quite and reflect? • For some of us maybe this is too difficult (the hurts to great, and pain to unbearable) for others impossible (especially if ...read more

We are living in tremendously challenging times as we look around and see things happening on a daily basis around the world that does not seem to “make sense”, and even as Christians we are prone to look at the “bad news” without giving much thought to the good news.

How To Thirst For God

Contributed by David Scudder on Dec 4, 2011

What do we need more than anything else in our lives? We know that the answer is "God" but do we really live that way? Trials reveal what we are trusting to make life work. Here we see David's deep longing to be closer to his God.

Palm Sunday - 2020 - Thy Kingdom Come - The Lord's Prayer - Part 2 Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Apr 4, 2020

Should we be celebrating with the disciples who were waving palm branches and shouting "Hosanna to the Son of David" or should we be weeping over Jerusalem like Jesus? This naturally combines with "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done ..." from the Lord's prayer.

(This is a shorter sermon used on Facebook Live during the Coronavirus pandemic) What is today? Today is Palm Sunday, the day we set aside to remember what many call “The Triumphal Entry” of Jesus into Jerusalem. Where do we find that?

Psalms 58 And 109 Series

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Mar 5, 2020

The outrage expressed in passages in these psalms are examples of times David seemed to be "fed up" with his enemies. He pours out his fury to God, not intending for his Father to act on the ills he calls for, but for God to see the passion poisoning his heart and send relief.

For Sermon Central researchers: I have posted a series of 15 sermons on the Psalms. In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated. I had too often swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as ...read more

Series: Recovering Stolen Identity & Reclaiming Misplaced Destiny: Part 6: The Samson Story: "an Example Of A Partially Fulfilled Destiny

The Story Of Samson Is One Of The Saddest In The Bible. David, Elijah, Peter, Moses, Jacob, all came back. Samson did, but partially. He was gifted to be God’s man in Israel’s critical hour. But he misused his privilege and partially fulfilled his mission - an example for us all.

Psalm 51 Title: "Prayer For Pardon And Purity” Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 3, 2021

Psalm 51 was composed after David was confronted about his adultery with Bathsheba (2 Samuel 12:1-25). The psalmist is ill (v. 8), perhaps near death (v. 14), and longs to be healed. Yet far weightier than that physical longing is his passionate desire for forgiveness.

Thanksgiving Focus Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 10, 2021

David starts this Psalm by telling himself to praise the Lord, and he ends it by telling himself to do it again. If we would tell ourselves as we begin the day to praise the Lord and not forget all His benefits, and if we would end the day by doing the same, we would be different people.

You will, no doubt, think me strange for saying it, but I am thankful for my ignorance. It gives me so much to be thankful for. My vast ocean of ignorance is my playground where I can fish for new insights, and I can dive for the sunken treasure of golden truths that lay hidden in God's Word. ...read more
