    The ancient practices of worship when priests would enter the holy of holies to meet with God required them to be found spotless...this sermon relates the tabernacle and tent of meeting to today’s forms of worship.

    (Intro Video-ark of the covenant-Holy of Holies) Ok, Some of you are probably wondering how Noah’s ark fit inside this small box. Did they shrink it? What’s up with that? So, I have to clear up some of your confusion. The ark of the covenant and Noah’s ark are two different things. Noah’s ...read more

    In our text today we see a family that took a shortcut, and it led to a dead-end - literally. Looking at their story, we discover how we can keep from taking shortcuts that lead to dead-ends.

    AVOIDING DEAD-END SHORTCUTS Ruth 1:1-5 INTRO: Shortcuts that don’t turn out so well: The shortcut to Lake Success Some shortcuts aren’t just inconvenient, they are deadly. Shortcuts that lead to dead-ends: Jim Madsen on Yosemite’s El Capitan in 1968. A veteran and skilled climber, he rappelled ...read more

    God's Not Dead: Is Faith Blind? Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,077 views

    Although Christians "walk by faith and not by sight," doesn't mean that faith is blind. Our faith in God is based upon irrefutable evidences substantiated by science.

    GOD’S NOT DEAD: IS FAITH BLIND? A. What sets a believer apart from a non-believer is our FAITH. 1. Hebrews 11:6- “Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek ...read more

    Faith Without Works Is Dead

    Contributed by Jose R. Hernandez on Apr 9, 2011
    based on 5 ratings
     | 71,249 views

    Salvation is only through faith and the redeeming work and grace of God. However, I do say that if our faith is not accompanied by works, then we can’t say that we have a genuine faith.

    I want to start today’s service with a joke. There was this very rich man who lived in the United States, who had heard of a man that lived in France that was very famous for walking the tightrope. According to what he had heard, the Frenchman had the reputation of walking the tightrope at ...read more

    No 'dead Dogs' In God's Eyes

    Contributed by David Mcnally on Jan 28, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,599 views

    The Bible says: 'Encourage one another'. So many people believe that if there is a God, He could not, should not love. If salvation is possible, that they are 'not good enough to be saved'. That they are unworthy or too sinful. This is a lie of the devil.

    OT – 2nd Samuel 9:1-13 NT – Matthew 5 verses 11-16 Sermon: No dead dogs to God ‘I feel like a dog!’ So someone said ‘How long have you felt like that?’ The answer was ‘Since I was a puppy!’. I know things are bad for many people. None of us and ...read more

    Paul writes that in order to live for God, we must first die to sin and then die to self.

    Are We Becoming a Dead Church Romans 6: 11-14 Intro: Back in the early 1990’s there was a movie that came out about the Jamaican bobsled team that was trying to qualify to race in the Olympics.

    Living Faith / Dead Faith

    Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Sep 21, 2007

     | 23,690 views

    The Bible speaks of a faith that is dead and living faith that empowers the Christian life. This study examines the scriptures that teach about faith and explain how that faith is not the product of man’s efforts, but the gift of God.

    Living Faith / Dead Faith Over the last several months I have been praying for God to reveal more about faith to me. As I study the scriptures, I realized that there is much I have yet to understand. This study is the result of a lot of seeking and praying. While I believe that God has answered ...read more

    My sermon shows that God is able to speak life in the midst of any dead situation in your life.
