    The Spirit As A Seal Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Dec 16, 2024
     | 1,733 views

    One of the important roles of the Holy Spirit is the way that the Spirit is a seal that authenticates and guarantees our relationship with God and our salvation in Christ. God wants us to experience security and confidence in our salvation and our relationship with Him.

    A Storm Called Fear

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jan 4, 2025
     | 1,269 views

    Fear is one of the most common things Christians have to face. We need to distinguish between the enemy or danger and the fear that the enemy or danger produces, and know how to deal with the fear.

    INTRODUCTION Today is the first Sunday of 2025. Happy New Year! I thought that at the start of the year I would review a couple of the most basic aspects of Christian life. I have given the title of today’s talk, ‘A storm called fear.’ It’s about fear, worry and anxiety. Next Sunday, we’re ...read more

     | 1,228 views

    We have a living hope, a guaranteed inheritance and the understanding that we are studying for what some call “finals” --- their final exam when they will receive the goal of their faith namely eternal life.

    THE GUARDED INHERITANCE Text: 1 Peter 1:3 – 9 1 Peter 1:3 - 9:   “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,  (4)  and into an inheritance that is ...read more

    Isaiah prays for the Lord to come down like fire and shake things up. What for? It's the Advent Prayer.

    Mother's Day used to be such an easy Sunday for preachers because we could preach sermons filled with warm, happy illustrations. And everybody wore flowers - red if mother was still alive, & white if she had died.

    Sermon # 38 - Freedom From Fear Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 9, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,638 views

    So many people are gripped with all kinds of fears, one of the major ones being the fear of death. Learn what Jesus did to set us free from this daunting fear of death, to give us hope for eternity.

    We read in Hebrews 2:14-15, “Since then the children are sharers in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same; that through death he might bring to nought him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; and might deliver all them who through fear of death were all ...read more

    Sermon # 25 - When Will God Answer Our Prayers? Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 4, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,957 views

    Why are some of our prayers not answered? What can we learn from the prayer of Jabez? May we learn to pray in a way that honors God so that we can receive answers to our fervent prayers.

    We read in 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, “Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother named him Jabez saying, "Because I bore him with pain. Now Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, "Oh that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my border, and that Your hand might be with me, ...read more

    Grace From Galatians (12 Of 19)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 8, 2022
     | 2,008 views

    This is Paul’s fourth appeal to try to get them to come to their senses.

    As we have seen, Paul does not understand why these backsliding Galatian Christians wanted to return to the bondage of the law. In this appeal, he seems to appeal to their common sense, something that many in this country seem to have lost. Illus: I saw this sad announcement and thought about ...read more

    Everyone enjoys watching the “Bloopers” on television. That is, we enjoy watching the actors and actresses make all kinds of hilarious mistakes that we ordinarily would not see on TV.

    Illus: But if you really want to look at some “Bloopers”, the best place to look for them is in the church bulletin or on church signs.

     | 3,416 views

    Somehow we have the mistaken idea that the Christian life is like a fairy tale.

    That is, you accept the Lord as your Savior, and then you can live happily ever after, and never have another crisis in your life! But there is no such life for any of us while we are here on earth. It does not matter: • If a person is rich or poor • What country a person lives in • What family a ...read more

     | 1,401 views

    Oh, it only takes little things to cause hostilities between people. And once started, it is difficult for them to reconcile. Even little things can cause whole nations to be at war. It doesn't take much.

     | 444 views

    People walked away from God with stiffened necks. The idolatrous nation was so wicked they would not repent. In the message we see God had tried so much to reach the nation of Judah but they were stubborn and rebellious and rejected and killed the prophets. Disobedience considered.
