Embodying The Gospel Series

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Mar 23, 2015

Living in a manner that is worthy of the gospel has three conditions.

If you don’t mind, let’s go back to the beginning of this passage. We read there – in chapter 1, verse 27 – that we are to live our lives “in a manner [that is] worthy of the gospel.” This is a simple but urgent appeal to us, and if we are to respond to it, if ...read more

Satan attacked the church and attacks the church often by using opposing philosophies and beliefs held by man.

The Book of Acts is the record of the “firsts” of the Church: First Sermon. First Invitation. First Salvations. First Baptisms. First Corporate Commitments. First Recorded Miracle… First Opposition ACTS 4:1-12 “What About Mother’s Day???!!!???” I ...read more

Never Give Up: Pray!

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jan 26, 2019

Come let us reason about prayer. There are UN-HEALTHY prayers and HEALTHY prayers. Let us study about our attitudes while we pray. Real worship is more than a circus. Do we pray with eternities' values in view. Do I have an impressive prayer life? By whose standards? TWO PRAYERS?

A good potter never throws away the clay, he will try again. Sure, hurt people hurt people... But we cannot give up and throw away the baby in the dirty water. God's focus is about people! Never give up!

The Legalistic God Series

Contributed by Michael Deutsch on May 7, 2017

Too often we think God has too many rules and laws and we do not embrace God because of the rules/legalism

Believing and Not Believing The God of Rules May 7, 2017 I believe there are lots of people who would love to be followers of Jesus, people who want to believe, however, something holds them back. While these people are rejecting God, I believe they are doing this because they have a distorted, ...read more

Lessons From Jeremiah – Part 8 – National Evils Are Widespread – Murder, Injustice, No Repentance, Delusion Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 25, 2024

The guilty argue with God and there is no repentance. Again God requests that Judah remembers her past devotion and return to the Lord. Idolatry is everywhere and the innocent poor are killed. There is no justice anywhere and delusion is rampant.

Lessons From Jeremiah – Part 9 – Judah The Harlot Blinded By Sin Polluted The Land Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 29, 2024

I think the worse a man or woman is joined to sin, then the greater the blurriness of that person’s position becomes. Sin is the cancer that overtakes the ability to repent. Judah was so idolatrous; it craved after spiritual adultery with all the gods of the nations. Interesting Hosea.

Overcoming Depression Series

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Sep 29, 2024

In times of deep sorrow and mental struggle, it's easy to drown in waves of despair, feeling as if joy has completely vanished. Yet, we can speak hope into our hearts by fixing our gaze on God (Ps 42), trusting that even in the darkest moments, we will once again find strength and praise in Him.

1 Corinthians 13:4, which says that love 'does not boast.' James and John were focused on elevating themselves, but Jesus' teaching reminds them that love and greatness come through selfless service, not by boasting or seeking honor.

Modern-Day Legalism (Part 1) Series

Contributed by Greg Powell on Sep 23, 2020

We have seen how legalism in Paul’s day added works to salvation, but that is largely not what modern-day legalism is in the church now. Legalism for us applies in the area of how we perceive our sanctification and how we portray our spirituality to others.

INTRO: I need to explain what is going on with the next couple of messages. We have dipped our toe in the water of legalism as it has been addressed in the book of Galatians so far. I am going to take a couple messages and jump into the entire pool of what legalism looks like for us today. We ...read more
