Sermons on Destroyed The Wicked:

Peter The Son Of Lightning Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 18, 2021

Peter made mistakes, but he was not stupid. He never stuck with a mistake when he saw it for what it was. He was a great man just because he could retreat as fast as he advanced when he saw he was going the wrong direction.

Some years back a young girl was caught out in a thunder storm as she rode her bicycle. She made it to the top of the hill and then headed down as fast as she could go. When she got home she told a strange tale. Every time there was a flash of lightning blue flames ran across her handle bars. Had ...read more

Universal Praise Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 18, 2021

Can a pagan glorify the God of the Bible? If he becomes a believer, he certainly can. This invitation of Psa. 117 is authentic when it says whosoever will may come, and praise the God who is the God of all peoples.

If you think Psalm 117 is a short chapter, you are right, for it is the shortest in all the Bible. But it is twice as long in English as it is in the original Hebrew. It is 33 words in English, but only 17 in the Hebrew. And it is another of the many paradoxes of the Bible, for small as it ...read more

Keep Your Mind On God Series

Learning to think about God and what He says to think about.

With the right thoughts… You can live in Peace instead of Fear and Worry! With the right thoughts… You can have Joy and not Depression and Despair! With the right thoughts… You will make right choices and be an overcomer! But… If you think the wrong thoughts… You will stay confused, depressed ...read more

Take Off Your Mask

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 4, 2021

Written in 2020, this message applies to all fear; but especially addresses fear of the Corona Virus. Fear is part of the human condition; but our fears would cease if we would place our hope in Jesus Christ, instead of our false securities.

I’ve entitled our sermon for this morning, “Take Off Your Mask and Be Unafraid.” All of us want to feel as though we have a good handle on life and that nothing ever shakes us; but in reality, we are fearful creatures. So, what are some common fears we might see? Well, some people fear growing ...read more

How To Endure To The End Series

Contributed by James Wallace on May 4, 2021

Jesus assured us in the Parable of the Sower that people falling away from the faith would be a regular part of our experience. However, we certainly don't want it to be our personal experience! An oft-ignored & challenging warning tells us how we can prevent that possibility.

As we have made our way through the book of Hebrews, the single New Testament book devoted to the topic of Christians who are tempted or actually do fall away from the faith, I naturally have been led to sadly contemplate those Christians I have known who have fallen away. These, tragically, were ...read more

Words Of Wisdom For Graduates

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 10, 2021

In this passage, Solomon is acting as a teacher instructing his students about life. He concludes with his observations about the purpose of life; and in his closing remarks we find four words of wisdom that can be applied to graduates.

Today is our Graduate Recognition, and I feel led to share from a passage in Ecclesiastes. This book is believed to have been written by Solomon, since Ecclesiastes 1:1 says that these are “the words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.” To get started, I think these words can ...read more

Psalms: When Darkness Is Your Only Friend (Psalms Of Disorientation: Part 3) Series

Contributed by Joshua Blackmon on May 12, 2021

The basis of this sermon is a sermon preached by Tim Keller on Psalm 88.

When Darkness Is My Only Friend Introduction Warning: I want to build your faith, but my first point of this sermon is a real downer. The book of Psalms is filled with desperate prayers. There are personal laments and corporate laments. It is in these that the psalmists express their ...read more

How Was Naaman Cleansed? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 22, 2021

Naaman had two problems - one was leprosy. But the other problem was the one that threatened to prevent him from being cleansed. What was his "other" problem, and what "fixed" both of his problems?

I read the true story about a man who had gone to the hardware store for supplies he needed for a minor plumbing repair job. As he was leaving, the owner said, “See you in a little while.” “Why?” asked the customer. “Is there something else I need?” “No. You haven’t forgotten anything,” he ...read more

Mothers With A Mission Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

Harvard Business Review reported that only 10% of family-owned business get passed down successfully to the third generation. Only 70% of family-owned businesses last one generation. If a family-run business struggles to survive for 2 generations, how much more your family’s faith in Jesus Christ?

The Social Test Series

Contributed by Freddy Fritz on May 29, 2021

First John 2:7-11 gives us another visible, objective evidence that someone's profession of faith to be a Christian is credible.

Scripture John wrote his three letters to oppose the false teaching that was creeping into the churches for which he was responsible. This false teaching was an early form of Gnosticism. The false teachers were claiming that they had a knowledge of God. The word “gnostic” comes from the Greek word ...read more

The Ascension Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 8, 2021

It was reported by official Soviet channels upon their entry into space in 1961 that the Russian Cosmonaut who first traveled into space said these words: “I went up to space, but I didn’t encounter God.”

Jesus stayed on the earth for forty days after His resurrection. Now, forty days is a long time. If Jesus rose on March 27, this would place His ascension from earth on May 5 (Cinco de Mayo). America has holidays that mark the birth of Jesus (Christmas), the death of Jesus (Good Friday), and the ...read more

Your Plan - God's Plan Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 9, 2021

Think about your life for a moment. Have you missed an opportunity you regret? Do you think you are still on “Plan A” for your life? For many in the room with any years of experience, you feel like your closer to plan "ZZ" rather than plan "A."

[Scripture read before this sermon] 20 When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned. 21 Since they had been without food for a long time, Paul stood up among them and said, “Men, you should have listened to me ...read more

The Story Of Stephen Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 9, 2021

When Stephen was being condemned on earth, he knew he was being commended by the true courtroom of heaven. When no one on earth spoke up for Stephen, you can be sure Someone in Heaven did.

We resume our yearlong study of the book of Acts today. Acts is a bridge book. It is a bridge between the Gospels, which describe the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, and the letters, which unfold the life and nature of the church. And in the early part of Acts, we are introduced to five brief ...read more

Take Time Under The Tree

Contributed by Joel Pankow on Jun 11, 2021

Reflecting on the mustard seed, we look at Paul's encouragement for the Colossians in their growth in grace.

6.13.21 Colossians 1:6 The gospel is bearing fruit and growing in the entire world, just as it also has been doing among you from the day you heard it and came to know the grace of God in truth.
