Sermons on Descendants Of Promise:

The Signs Of The End Times

Contributed by Craig Condon on Nov 28, 2015

When we see natural disasters and conflicts, we can be sure that Christ’s return is near. We must be ready, because he could return at any time. The promise of his return offers us hope.

At first glance the reading we just heard from Luke 21:25-36 seems to be out of place during Advent. After all, most of us think of Advent as a time to prepare for Christmas. That is only partially true. Advent is also a time to remember and prepare for Christ’s Second Coming, and that ...read more

Consider Your Ways

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 19, 2024

When the Israelites stopped working on His House, God turned off the Blessings. It's time Christians got back to work on the Church of God. If we do, He promises He'll bless us!

CONSIDER YOUR WAYS Haggai 1:4-15; 2:18-19 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE FAILING TELEMARKETER 1.

This Is Some Rescue - Mark 15:22-32 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on May 27, 2024

God promises to rescue us in times of trouble. But many times he lets the trouble go on. So how can we trust him to be our shelter, deliverer, and helper if our prayers for help often go unanswered?

Mark 15:21 A certain man from Cyrene, Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was pass-ing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross. 22 They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means The Place of the Skull). 23 Then they offered him wine mixed with ...read more

Joshua 4: The Story In The Stones Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 15, 2024

Joshua 4 has the story of how Israel crossed the Jordan River and entered the Promised Land. The LORD told Joshua to make two memorials, from two different batches of stones. There's more in the chapter, too.

Introduction: Memorials are important. They serve to remind the people who were there of what happened, and why; and they’re also to remind the people, sometimes generations later, what their ancestors had endured. This was true for Israel as well: the people in this story lived through something ...read more

A Warning That Bears Repeating

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 10, 2022

As the days draw nearer for the Lord's promised return, more people are choosing the wealth of the world rather than taking care of the most precious commodity they have, and that is their soul. Nothing of this world is worth the loss of eternal life with Christ.

Some time ago, I watched a series of programs that the BBC (British Broadcasting Company) had produced which centered on a variety of individuals who had encountered the Lord Jesus Christ at some point in their lives yet walked away with nothing more than faint curiosity, some conversation, or ...read more

Saving Faith

Contributed by Chris Cuthbertson on Aug 9, 2022

I think the most important question of our lives is that question… WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED? How can I be confident that when I die, my sins are forgiven, and I have the promise of living eternally with Christ?

Faith Acts 16: 25 – 32 The apostle Paul was thrown into jail for preaching about Christ in the city of Philippi. He and his companion Silas were beaten and then chained to an inner dungeon.

Witnesses Of The Light

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 15, 2021

In John's prologue of his gospel, he refers to the person and work of the forerunner of God's Messiah. John the Baptist had the honor of being that individual and was one of a long line of biblical witnesses to the promise of the coming Redeemer.

John the Baptist is described in the opening verse of John's Gospel as a man who was sent from God to bear witness of the Light that is the Lord Jesus Christ. John made it clear, however, that the Baptist was not that light. There had been disciples of John the Baptist who had carried his ...read more

Canvassing The Perimeter Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 5, 2022

What we could not do for ourselves, God in His mercy did for us - provided a Way to be cleansed from the stain of sin and become holy, so that we could dwell with Him in that Place promised and prepared by His Son the Christ.

INTRODUCTION TO AFFIRMATIONS OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH As time marches on and the aging process begins to cast a shadow on my short-term memory, my mind seems sharper now than ever regarding long-term memory. It is interesting to me that, at 85 years of age, I ...read more

God's Protection System

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Jan 7, 2024

The promise of physical protection for the most part is not so much ours in the church age but rather the focus of our protection is God’s spiritual protection against the enemy of our soul. This is the purpose of the Armour of God, God’s Protection System.

God’s Protection System By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - My wife and I have a little puppy he is 8 months old; he doesn’t really bark too much but he will whine.

A Great Message Of Encouragement

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jan 8, 2022

At the start of 2022 most of us probably feel that the future looks very uncertain. We want to hear God's message of encouragement. As the Israelites prepared to enter the Promised Land, God had a great message of encouragement for them.

THE SCENE I’d like you to imagine a scene. It’s about 1500 B.C. We’re in a wilderness a little to the south of the Dead Sea in what was then Moab and is now Jordan. Around us there are people, tents, and animals. The people look tough, weather-beaten. For forty years they’ve been living as ...read more

From Pressure To Power

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 23, 2025

Every believer will face pressure at one point or the other. The Christian life is not a promise of ease, but of victory through Christ. Trials, afflictions, and opposition are real, but God uses them as tools to strengthen us and empower us for our next level.
