    Tombs And Chains

    Introduction: This passage of scripture that I will be preaching from is surrounded by situations that seem to be impossible to deal with.

    And they are impossible as for as man is concerned. For example, in Mark chapters 4 and 5, we read of situations that only the Lord Jesus could deal with. • In Mark 4:38, Jesus and His disciples were sailing on the Sea of Galilee when a tremendous storm overwhelmed their boat. The storm was so ...read more

    Why Were The Religious Leaders So Blind About Jesus? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 11, 2021
     | 2,099 views

    This passage speaks to the ignorant confidence that the religious leaders possessed. How do we avoid their mistake?

    WHAT'S THE HEART OF THIS PASSAGE? The religious leaders had all that knowledge and yet they didn’t know God. - John 7:28d – “You do not know Him” - The religious leaders, of course, thought they were the epitome of knowledge and understanding. They loved the status they had among the people. ...read more

    Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (10 Of 16)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
     | 1,519 views

    In this passage of scripture, John deals with something we want to look at very closely and consider in this message.

    He deals with the topic of how we are supposed to love one another. Of course much of the Bible deals with this subject, yet it seems to be something we Christians know very little about and those who are not Christians know even less. As we look at our text we want to learn from what it says to ...read more

     | 3,048 views

    This passage mentions multiple times that we are Jesus' friends. What does that mean exactly?

    - “Refrigerator rights.” The idea that you become good enough friends that when you’re at their house you don’t have to ask to get something out of the refrigerator. THE PROOFS OF THE FRIENDSHIP: 1. His proof of friendship is His sacrifice. - John 15:13. 2. Our proof of friendship is our ...read more

    A Path Through The Sea.

     | 1,761 views

    The focus of the passage before us is the mighty victory that the LORD wrought against Israel’s pursuers.

    A PATH THROUGH THE SEA. Exodus 14:19-31. EXODUS 14:19a. The “Angel of God” removed Himself from ‘going before’ the people and “went behind them.” We see here, and in other places where the Angel is mentioned, that the Angel is a distinct divine personality, and yet is at one with the LORD. The ...read more

    Usually pride is sneaky, an unannounced motive, but in our passage we see raw blantant pride for all to see.

    Intro: 1. William Ernest Henley's poem "Invictus" ("Unconquered") is drenched with the spirit of Cain: Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.

    Often quoted and very familiar to even people who don’t follow Jesus’ "Come to me" passage. But do we really understand what Jesus means by it? This passage is full of cultural specific references that could easily be lost if we don’t understand the cultu

    Raising A G-Rated Family In An R-Rated World Series

    It has grown increasingly more difficult to keep the world from influencing our families. What can we do to counter that influence?

    OPEN: A man was once hired to go and take a census in the hills of east Tennessee. He came to one ram-shackle home, knocked on the door and was greeted by a young girl. Brandishing his clipboard, the interviewer asked the girl, "Is your mom home?" She said, "Nah, she ran off with a moon shiner." ...read more

    Holiness For The Child Of God

    Contributed by Richard Cook on Aug 25, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,573 views

    Understanding the need for Holiness is often difficult for ministers to get across to their flocks; this sermon teaches the need to seperate ourselves from the world, and worldliness.

    1 Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. Some will argue that Holiness is not important, but I submit that if it is in the Bible it is important. Holiness in the life of a child of God is not optional but is a command; we can see that from our scripture reading. ...read more
