God Accepts You As Gentiles, In Christ (So Don't Become Jewish Christians; Ephesians 2:1-10) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 23, 2022

What is faith? Also, "works" and "good works" are not the same thing. "Works" are works of the Mosaic covenant, specifically food laws, circumcision, holy days (inc. Sabbath).

Today's sermon is on Ephesians 2:1-10. But I want to start by reading all of chapter 2. We often make a mess of chapter 2, especially in verses 8-10, and the reason we make that mess is because we ignore Paul's larger argument. Paul is writing to Gentiles, explaining to them that they are ...read more

#58 The Bitter Cup Of Gethsemane Series

Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Jan 23, 2022

We can never comprehend the cosmic struggle Jesus experienced in the Garden of Gethsemane the night before his crucifixion. The sermon helps us to see the emotional struggle between Jesus’ human and divine sides, and what that teaches us.

Living In The Kingdom Part 12 Series

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Feb 4, 2022

In this message we examine what Jesus said about how we should treat our enemies. This follows what we covered last week where Jesus talked about how we should be willing to turn the other cheek. To be a part of His kingdom, we must learn to love our enemies.

Living in the Kingdom 12 Scripture: Matthew 5:43-48; 7:12; Leviticus 19:18; James 4:17 In my message last week I shared with you what Jesus said about turning the other cheek and going the extra mile without being asked.

#62 Two Rocks Series

Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Feb 13, 2022

In the story of Jesus being brought to His Jewish trial, Mark portrays two “rocks” – Jesus the solid rock and Peter, the “cracked rock.” This sermon contrasts the steadfastness of Jesus to Peter’s denials and challenges us to think about what these two examples teach us in our lives personally.

The Sons Of God: An Introduction (Psalm 82:1-8) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 14, 2022

In the OT, the "sons of God" are God's heavenly family, given authority over the nations of the earth (Deuteronomy 32:8-9). An introduction to who they are, and where they went wrong.

For maybe four or five weeks, we are going to take a break from the gospel of John, and start a new mini-series calls "Sons of God." My guess is that everything you hear this morning is going to be new to you. And you aren't going to know what to do with it, or how to handle it. ...read more

The Legacy Of Jabez

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 18, 2022

It is interesting to listen to people pray. Each person has his own unique way of expressing himself to God.

Illus: For example, a man in Columbia, South Carolina, was led to the Lord late in life. He was a slow talking southerner. When he prayed publicly, everyone enjoyed listening to him because of his slow southern drawl, and because he was sincere. When he prayed it sounded like he was having a ...read more

Respect And Obey God’s Delegated Authority (How Christian Ought To Behave Continue)

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Feb 22, 2022

What does obedience to God’s delegated authority look like? How can we be a good example for the world to see? How can we live peaceable with all men especially those in authority? Paul devotes an entire chapter to the subject of respect for authority.

Sermon – Respect and Obey God’s Delegated Authority (How Christian ought to Behave) Romans 13: 1-10, “Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. 2 So anyone who rebels against authority is ...read more

31) Why Share The Gospel! Series

Contributed by Brandon Max on Feb 27, 2022

True believers have always been called to share the Gospel - but why? Today we look at four reasons through the Scriptures: 1) Jesus Did It; 2) The Disciples Did It; 3) Paul Did It; and 4) We Are Told To Do It.

31) WHY SHARE THE GOSPEL! Text: Matthew 24:14 INTRODUCTION Brethren we are now nearing the end of another year. It’s now November, next comes December - and then the year 2021 will be all over.

This concludes the study of Psalm 42 where the subject of depression is considered, along with the feeling that God has abandoned us. It looks at the importance of hope and trust in God.

When God Says "No”!

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 16, 2022

One of the many things we take for granted each day is our God-given ability to be able to communicate with each other. But sometimes the words we use get us in a lot of trouble.

Illus: This reminds us of the young male clerk who was working at a department store's fabric counter. A very pretty girl said to the young male clerk, "I want to buy this material for a new dress. How much will this fabric cost?" He smilingly said, "Only a kiss a ...read more

The Proof Is In The Tithing!

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 17, 2022

All of us have heard the saying, "The proof is in the pudding." This is an expression that is used when we want to prove something.

Illus: For example, one of you ladies could make some chocolate pudding, and when you got through it looked good! But just because it looked good does not mean it was good. You never would know that until you tasted it. That is where we get the expression, THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING! Not only ...read more
