Sermons on Discovering Your Destiny:

Week Three Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Mar 15, 2021

Self examination is not intended as a form of self punishment, but a redirection of our love to God for what He did for us through the cross. It’s meant as a guidepost to living like “little Christs” in this world so we can be a blessing to those who may never consider His saving grace.

“Lent is one of the oldest observations on the Christian calendar. Like all Christian holy days and holidays, it has changed over the years, but its purpose has always been the same: self-examination and penitence, demonstrated by self-denial, in preparation for Easter. Early church father ...read more

Lent 2021 - Who Has Believed Our Message Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Mar 20, 2021

Isaiah 53 is one of the most profound messianic prophecies found in all of the Old Testament and it asks a simple but convicting question, "Who has believed our message?" What message are we declaring? Is it the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

Who Has Believed Our Message Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:3-5 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the ...read more

How Was I To Know?

Contributed by Keith Broyles on Mar 21, 2021

This sermon is a first-person narrative from the perspective of the innkeeper. We have all too often made the innkeeper into a bad guy. What if he did everything for the family that he could do?

Well, it would seem I was between a rock and a hard place. I was in a situation, where there were no easy answers. I looked hard for the simple answers because, you know, they say the simplest is always the best. But, it wasn’t a simple lesson I faced. Later in his life Jesus faced several of those ...read more

Our Lord And Our Land Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 22, 2021

Paul was proud to be a Roman citizen. It was not because the empire was perfect, but because his citizenship gave him rights that were vital to his personal dignity, and to his service for God.

Human rights is a major issue in our world today, but it is not a new issue. Even under the Roman Emperor men had rights and they were precious. The Apostle Paul was unjustly arrested. He was about to be beaten when he calmly asked the Roman Centurion in charge if it was lawful to scourge a man ...read more

The Cross Of The World

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Mar 26, 2021

The cross of Christ is a sign to His then followers and us today to take the message of the Gospel out to the world. Jesus' ministry was mainly to the Hebrew people who the LORD sent Him to first. Through the power of the cross and the Pentecost the world of the Gospel must be taken to the world

The Cross of the World John 12:31-36 Rev. Dr. Michel H. Koplitz Today we need to start or chat at the beginning of Jesus' ministry. We can read in the Gospels that Jesus was first sent to the lost sheep of Israel. Jesus Himself tells us this in several different places in the Gospels. When we ...read more

Stilling The Storm Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 27, 2021

In verse 39 we see the deity of Christ. Only God can rebuke the wind and calm the sea. The only reason Bible writers could put such contrasting pictures of Jesus side by side is because they were true. He was truly man, and truly God.

About 100 years ago an English clergyman named Whiting was sailing in the Mediterranean when a storm broke of unusual fury, and hurricane winds. The waves were like mountains, and they came crashing against the ship, and all on board felt doomed, for the life boats were useless in such a storm. ...read more

Affirmations - Sermon V: Belief In The Divine Conception Of Jesus Series

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Oct 19, 2019

To affirm our Savior's divine conception is to accept God the Father's criterion of a perfect atoning sacrifice which could be provided by no mere human being - only by God's Son who was sent (came) for that redemptive purpose.

INTRODUCTION TO AFFIRMATIONS OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH As time marches on and the aging process begins to cast a shadow on my short-term memory, my mind seems sharper now than ever regarding long-term memory. It is interesting to me that, at 85 years of age, I ...read more

To Know Him

Contributed by Vicki Williamson on Feb 28, 2022

Do you really know the person closest to you? Know their hearts desires including their successes and failures? Do you know what they think and what motivates 
them with every action? Do you truly know them?

Turn with me to the book of Philippians, a letter written by the Apostle Paul ?to believers in Philippi. This is the Apostle Paul speaking his heart’s desire. Philippians 3:10-11 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, ?and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His ...read more

The Life Of A Wicked King (King Manasseh)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 3, 2022

There are many wicked characters mentioned in the Bible. King Manasseh has to rank as one of the most wicked men who ever lived on this earth.

He is certainly considered to be the most wicked king of Judah. His grandfather, Ahaz, was a wicked king, but his father, King Hezekiah is considered to be the most godly king of Judah. It's hard to imagine that someone as righteous as Hezekiah could have a son as evil as Manasseh. This ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

Have you ever thought about what God goes through to win a soul that is hungry for the truth?

While we may not think about it, the Scripture reveals God did some marvelous things in the lives of some Bible characters, as He sent them out to win souls to Christ.

The Gardener’s Field Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 24, 2022

In the church, there will be unbelievers mixed in with God's people; however, Jesus warns us that it is not our place to judge. He also asks us to consider whether or not we are wheat or a tare; a believer or an unbeliever.

This evening’s message is entitled “The Gardener’s Field,” and it’s taken from what is commonly called “The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares.” In Genesis 2:8-9, we read, “The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. And out of the ground the Lord ...read more
