Sermons on Delay Is Not Denial:

The Trinity

Contributed by Timothy Mills on Jul 14, 2017

The Bible does not spell out “Trinity.” The idea of the Trinity is so ingrained in Christianity that it is nowhere described, but assumed in Scripture. Our text, for example, presents the Trinity as a fact, without explanation.

In our text Matthew 28:19, the 3 persons are presented, not argued. Mark 1:9-11 does the same thing. This is a core doctrine which no one can deny and still be called “Christian.” It’s not something that must be understood to be saved; rather, it is something that cannot be denied in full ...read more

Obedience Works! Series

Contributed by Jim Drake on Mar 3, 2008

In one sense, the remnant was just like us--they had free access to the Word of God. God had just spoken His Word to them through Haggai and Zechariah. God’s Word was available--what were they going to do with it? What are we going to do with it?

Patience: Overcoming The Frenzied Life Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Feb 5, 2023

By a show of hands, are you by nature a patient person? If you were to assign a percentage to your level of patience, what would it be? Is anyone at 100% on the patience level? Let me encourage you today by saying this no one is born patient. For patience is a work of the Holy Spirit.

When you see a patient person, you’ve seen something rare. For it takes supernatural power to be patient. We live in a world obsessed with speed. We become angry if the video doesn’t download immediately or the fast food lines take too long. And who likes waiting in a doctor’s office, or waiting ...read more
