    In the following sermon we are going to learn how our “life psalm” ought to be “alternating verses of praying and praising” with the assurance that our requests given in the will of God, though they be might be delayed, will be granted in His power and sovereignty!

And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.'" - Matthew 16:17-19 Quote: "Faith is never identical with piety." - Karl Barth ________________ Introduction Good morning family, friends, and fellow believers.

  • The Wisdom Of The Cross

    Contributed by Jonathan Mcleod on Apr 12, 2005
    based on 15 ratings
     | 8,915 views

    Paul explains in these verses how some have come to reject the world’s opinion of the cross and see in it the wisdom of God.

    These verses are a continuation of the argument Paul began in 1:18: “The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” Paul is still talking about the cross in chapter 2. This fact is essential to a proper understanding of ...read more

  • The King Of Rejection

     | 8,723 views

    With a nod to John Knox, this is about tyranny; what it is, why it is, how we escape it (including the tyranny of sin).

    Webster’s dictionary defines “tyranny” as arbitrary or unrestrained exercise of power. We don’t use the word “tyranny” a lot in our own day. We don’t routinely hear people in positions over us referred to as tyrants. (They may in fact be tyrants, but we don’t use the word.) But the word “tyranny” ...read more

    Love is the final apologetic.

    Francis Schaeffer wrote that love is the final apologetic; it is the last word in the Christian’s defense of the gospel. John’s Gospel informs us that Jesus gave his disciples one last command before he was led away to be crucified: A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just ...read more

    The Gold in life’s marathon is pleasing God. Too often we burden ourselves with a different focus which asks, "What’s in it for me?¨ Sometimes it’s not even about that but focuses on what everyone else expects or how he or she believes I should perfor

  • Stones In The Road

     | 6,295 views

    The ’stones’ on the gospel road – those difficult verses we stumble over or just pass by – are treasures if we take the time to stop and pick them up; two such ‘stones’ in the story of the raising of Lazarus speak of the intensity of Jesus’ love for us.

    I had to take my car into the shop in Binghamton last week, and I had a lot of time to kill. The waiting room didn’t look very inviting, so I decided to do something I haven’t done in a long time: I took a walk. At first it seemed as if the world had been put on pause, or at least slow motion; the ...read more

  • The Lowly King Of Kings Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jul 17, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,737 views

    When people came looking for the Messiah they expected to see “a reed shaken in the wind,” or a wealthy and mighty king. Instead of finding a wealthy king, they found the Christ who was meek and humble; born in a place of low esteem.

    Our message for today is a reflection on the lowly and humble estate of our King of Kings. To begin this morning, turn in your Bibles to Isaiah chapter 9, and we will look at verses 1-2, and 6-7. What I am about to read are the words of the prophet Isaiah concerning the entrance of our Savior ...read more

  • Grace Broke The Scales

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 19, 2025
     | 210 views

    Grace shattered the world’s scorekeeping; salvation is not earned by balance but received by the cross that broke the scales.

    The Story: Earning Points with God A few years ago I was standing in line at the grocery store with one item—a loaf of bread. The lady in front of me had about 200.
