    Five Unshakeable Convictions Series

    Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Oct 24, 2008
    based on 5 ratings
     | 11,061 views

    In this sermon we see that there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus because of five unshakeable convictions.

    Scripture The first verse of the greatest chapter in the Bible—Romans 8:1—says, “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Everything else that follows in the rest of Romans 8 tells us why there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. There are a ...read more

    How Can We Improve Relationships @ Home?

    Contributed by David Cook on Oct 1, 2012

     | 8,777 views

    Peter tells us how we can improve relationships at home: 1 - Wives, Focus on Your Christ-like Behavior; 2 - Husbands, Focus on a Limitless Love; 3 - Everyone, Focus on Being a Blessing

    Where do you find it most difficult to live out the Christian life? On the job? On the golf course? Around non believers? During traffic jams? How about at home? What makes it difficult to live like Christ at home? When Amy and I first got married, we had never had a major argument. I’ll never ...read more

    Life's Great Paradox

    Contributed by Dr. Jerry N. Watts on Jan 4, 2011
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,513 views

    In this world we are told that climbing the ladder, stepping on other people, and even "being served" is a path to greatness - the Bible teaches something entirely different.

    Life’s Great Paradox Galatians 5:1, 13-15 * To define the word “paradox” is an apparently true statement or group of statements that seems to lead to a contradiction or to a situation that defies intuition. Let me give you a couple of examples; * If a compulsive liar tells you, ...read more

    The Call Of A Father Series

     | 3,531 views

    In God’s Call of the Father for disciple and instruction, He presents it through 1) The Negative Command (Ephesians 6:4a) 2) The Positive Command (Ephesians 6:4b).

    Ephesians 6:4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. (ESV). One surprising factor to some that has been reported during this quarantine is an increased involvement in family elements from men in general and fathers in ...read more

    Guarding your Heart

    Hook A.W Pink once said, For the Christian to keep his heart… means for him to pay close attention to the direction in which his affections are moving, to discover whether the things of the world are gaining a firmer and fuller hold over him, or whether they are increasingly losing their charm for ...read more

     | 4,632 views

    Judas is known as the disciple who betrayed Jesus. He was the son of Simon or Simon Iscariot. Thus, Judas was a Judean, the only one of the Twelve who was not from Galilee.

    HARMONY OF THE GOSPEL (30) Suicide of Judas Jesus Final Week of Work at Jerusalem Tom Lowe 2/10/2008 This passage tells about Judas' repentance, and him returning the blood-money; his rejection by the priests, Judas' suicide, and the purchase of the Potters Field with the ...read more

    Issachar And Zebulun Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 3, 2022
     | 4,083 views

    The sages read Genesis 49:13-15 very differently. They glorified Issachar while explaining away Zebulun's calm superiority in a way that does not denigrate Issachar. Zebulun was an aggressive tribe on the ascendancy, but Issachar was comparatively weak.

    Issachar and Zebulun Among Jacob's sons from Leah, Issachar was the fifth and Zebulun the sixth (Genesis 30:18-20). 18Then Leah said, "God has given me my wages because I gave my maid to my husband." So she named him Issachar. 19Leah conceived again and bore a sixth son to Jacob. ...read more

    Is It Time To Confess Our Sins?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 2, 2026
     | 201 views

    Golden Calf idolatry reveals how cherished sin destroys fellowship, while confession opens the way for God’s mercy, forgiveness, and restoration.

    There are moments in Scripture that are so disturbing, so uncomfortable, that we are tempted to read past them quickly. We would rather not linger there. We would prefer safer passages—stories of deliverance, victory, faith rewarded. But the Word of God does not allow us that luxury. There are ...read more

    The function of worship is to bring God appropriate pleasure.

    (Overhead 1) This time of year is a time for love, romance, and passion. Millions of dollars are spent on Valentine’s Day gifts.

    We please God as we live in peace and harmony with each other.

    This morning I again begin with a question that I would like three volunteers to answer, “What has been the most peaceful and relaxing vacation or day away from home that you have ever had and why?” I wasn’t sure what we were going to hear this morning but I was fairly sure that “peace and ...read more
