Sermons on Desolation:

Conquering Fear

Contributed by Rick Pendleton on Nov 2, 2010

This sermon gives the recipe for conquering fear. It also has a radically new interpretation of the command, "Stand Still." I used it for Halloween but it is applicable any time.

CONQUERING FEAR Exodus 13:13-14 Since today is HALLOWEEN, I decided to go with that theme. However, when I went on sermon sites... looking for ideas... all of the resources were ANTI-HALLOWEEN. They all talked about how it is a pagan holiday and is about worshiping evil spirits, or Satan. Well, I ...read more

The Day Of The Lord

Change What You Are Wearing Series

Contributed by Pastor Dr. Tim Awotide on Jul 31, 2014

Something must change when God wants to do a new thing. Look at story of 3 people who experienced a new thing. They had to change something. Everyone in scripture who experienced a major New Thing had to change something.

The Day Of The Lord

Contributed by Zabdi Lopez on Nov 12, 2014

The prophet Zephaniah has a great message for the people of God today.

The first reading we read today came from the book of Zephaniah chapter 5. The Book of Zephaniah is probably best known for being the least known book of the entire Bible. It is a small book, it is in the middle of the Minor Prophets, toward the end of the Old Testament. There are Major ...read more

Born To Die, Living In The Shadow Of The Cross

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Dec 12, 2012

Christ was born to die. From the moment He was born, the Cross at Calvary cast its shadow upon that Infant and would never leave Him until He had finished His mission. He was born to die.

Born to Die, Living in the Shadow of the Cross John12:27–28.” At Christmas we like to think of the Baby lying in a manager. We like the warm and tender feelings we get from songs like “Away in the manger” and “Silent Night”. The world by large does not give ...read more

Reach Out And Touch

Contributed by Joanna Beveridge on Feb 1, 2013

An amplified story of the woman with a haemorrage and how we too can be cured if we just reach out and touch Jesus.

Her bleeding began after the birth of her fourth child. That, of course, was normal. What was not normal was that it did not stop. That was 12 years ago. Twelve years is a long time. It’s a long time even when life is good and the years slip gently by, but if you are poor, or ill, or ...read more

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 17, 2013

Jesus' answer to a two- or three-pronged question revisited.

THE SECOND COMING. Matthew 24. I have been looking anew into Matthew 24, trying to view the passage without the prejudices of popular opinion. It has been quite a humbling exercise.

Why Feeling Sorry About Your Sin Isn’t Repentance

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 19, 2013

A look at real repentance versus the emotion that we often mistake for repentance.

THE NEXT STEPS (LITERALLY): Even after surviving the whale ordeal and getting a second chance, Jonah’s repentance begins with a lot of walking. - Jonah 3:3. - This is a fact that at one level seems rather obvious but that hit me hard a while back. As I considered the story of Jonah, I had ...read more

Heaven Is A Party Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jun 24, 2013

Heaven is party-central, and the party starts now, but doesn't get into full gear till we get to Heaven, or when Jesus returns--whichever comes first.

When Biblical writers speak of Heaven, they often use figurative language. I suspect the reason is that they’re trying to express heavenly realities with the limitations of human language. Trying to describe Heaven to us is like trying to describe this world to an unborn child. And so ...read more

Famous Amos Series

Contributed by Sterling Franklin on Mar 13, 2011

Israel was guilty of oppressing the poor and needy and perverting justice, despite ritually worshipping God in sacrifice and worship. Are our actions backed by an authentic heart? Are we displeasing God despite 'doing all the right things'?
