    Fixing The Focus Of Your Faith Series

    Contributed by Bruce Willis on Jan 1, 2007
    based on 9 ratings
     | 13,244 views

    This is the second sermon in a series of two on “Fixing Your Focus” from Hebrews 12 which has to do with faith from The Exchanged Life perspective.

    So, how do you go about “Fixing the Focus of Your Faith?” Answer: By turning your faith around and pointing it in the right direction. The writer of Hebrews puts it this way “fixing your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith...” You’ve got to get your eyes off of others, off ...read more

    Contributed by Reverend Cooper Mcwhirter on Oct 1, 2016
     | 3,931 views

    Through the use of parables Jesus was able to explain difficult subject matters in plain, simple terms. By referring to common, every day occurrences people of all ages, from the youngest to the oldest, could readily grasp what Jesus was saying to them.

    Sermon Preached at Grace Community Church (EPC) Sun City Grand, Surprise, AZ Sunday, January 31, 2010 by the Reverend Cooper McWhirter “In a Manner of Speaking” [Introduction] Matthew 13:10-17 Did you ever wonder why Jesus spoke so often in parables? Why didn’t He just come ...read more

    To be authentic we need a guide -- the word of God.

    1. We are seeking authenticity – last week we considered the danger of hypocrisy. How are we to be real? 2. A Bible Like Mom’s In her book Parenting with Scripture, Kara Durbin wrote, “When I was little, I wanted a Bible just like my mom’s, and I was thrilled when I received one as a present.

    "Living Like Our Lord" Series

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Apr 25, 2016
     | 6,028 views

    If we are to live like our Lord, then our lives will be characterized by love.

    In this section of Scripture, the key verse is verse 6. John tells us that as followers of Jesus, we should aspire to live like Him. But what does a Christ-like life look like? John says a Christ-like life is characterized by one primary virtue - Love! This shouldn't surprise us at all, since ...read more

    What The Ascension Of Jesus Meant To Him, And To Means To Us

    Contributed by David Mcnally on May 20, 2014
     | 6,170 views

    Many Christians seem to ignore the Ascension, and even seem embarrassed to talk about Jesus physically going up into the clouds, but it is a historical fact. Jesus had done everything His Father required of Him, and He is now by His side working for us.

    Acts 1:6-11 Eph 1:18-23 The Ascension 29 MAY 2014 The New Testament records how Jesus died on what we now call Good Friday and how He rose from the dead on what we now call Easter Sunday. I prefer to call it Resurrection Sunday, 1. because the word Easter is not in the Bible, and 2. because ...read more

    How do we escape God's righteous judgment if we are accountable to God for thinking about it?

    The Affairs of the Heart Matthew 5:27-30 Introduction At the beginning of last week’s sermon (“More righteousness Needed, Please!”) we saw just how critical that verse 20 is to the interpretation of the Sermon on the Mount in general and this portion of the sermon in particular. ...read more

     | 3,543 views

    The diversity of the gifts of the Spirit is proof that God desires unity, not uniformity. How does that look in a marriage, a family, or a congregation? What about cessationism? Are the gifts still operating in the church today?

    Dakota Community Church September 30, 2012 Grace at Work - 6 Ephesians 4:1-13 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity ...read more

    If Samson is man of extra-ordinary strengths and power, Gedeon is an exact opposite. He is the man hiding on the back stage and afraid of the lime light. His life is a proof that God can use ordinary people like us.

    DISCOVERING YOUR FULL POTENTIAL JUDGE 6:1-16 It amazing to see how God can transform a fearful man into a mighty warrior. If Samson is man of extra-ordinary strengths and power, Gedeon is an exact opposite. He is the man hiding on the back stage, afraid of the lime light and prefer the low profile ...read more

    To be born again is to be regenerated, and to be regenerated means to be brought to spiritual life. Like New Testament believers, OT believers knew were likewise regenerated and thus spiritually alive.

    Jesus said He was the Bread of Life. When we talk about partaking of the Bread of Life, what are we talking about? And that is the focus of this passage. Just how do we come to know Jesus personally?

    Welcome To The "Post-Truth” World!

    Those with discernment know that we have been living in a spiritual “Post Truth” world for a millennia. God's facts and truths have been less influential in shaping individual public opinion than have appeals to emotion, personal reason and perspectives.

    Welcome to the “Post-Truth” World! You may have heard that, back in December, the Oxford Dictionary announced that "Post-Truth" is its 2016 word of the year. According to the Dictionary's website, the word is "an adjective defined as 'relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts ...read more

    Courageous Women Under Fire

    based on 3 ratings
     | 33,700 views

    “Courageous Under Fire”? Is when you face the unknowns (and sometimes the known) and have no clue as to how the outcome will be. Yet, because of one’s trust and faith in God, the individual steps out in faith and pursue his/her god-given assignment.

    I was having difficulty with this topic because of recent setbacks in my life. However, I’ve come to the conclusion that setbacks are God’s opportunity for setups! Amen! Circumstances do not stop what God has for His children: that’s you and me. This morning, I want to speak on ...read more

    3 Life Changing Truths Based On God's Impartiality

    "God shows not impartiality." We know this to be true but what difference should it make in our lives? We'll explore 3 life changing truths based on God's impartiality.

    I remember growing up hearing from the KJV that, “God is no respecter of men.” I have to admit it sent a rather confusing message. I was supposed to respect people, but God did not. Since then, I have learned a little bit more about God, His relationship with humanity, and I also ...read more
