Obedience

Contributed by Troy Walker on Mar 20, 2003

What is obedience? A comphresive analysis of obedience in your christian walk

I heard a story of a teacher who wrote a phrase on the board at the beginning of class, which stated: “I know everything I teach; however I don’t know everything.” Now I’m not going to pretend to know everything on the subject, but I do know everything in this teaching to be true and in ...read more

Things Not For Sale Series

Contributed by Wayne Cordeiro on Nov 13, 2007

We often mess up our Christian lives, not because we are malicious or evil, but because we are frail and needy. We need a power beyond ourselves to win that fight. We need something that is bigger than we are.

Betwixt and Between As Christians, each of us will experience struggle. We will struggle when we know the right thing to say or do, but we just cannot do it. It may be due to our pride, or a principle, or we are angry, or we just can’t accept a different perspective. We know something is wrong, ...read more

Reason For The Hope Within

Contributed by Michael Westacott on Oct 22, 2003

This sermon is similar to my sermon "He exists", but it has only 5 arguments for God’s existence. It includes a section on the importance of defending the faith and why just because we can’t see God doesn’t mean he doesn’t exist. I personally believe thi

One day after school back in year 10, I was talking to one of my friends. I made some remark that on Saturday I was going to church. He looked down, nodded, and then in a rather frustrated voice asked me “Do you really believe in all that stuff?” If someone were to ask you that question, how would ...read more

You Are There! Series

Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Jun 4, 2009

Not only is Psalm 139 important theologically, but it is a good model for learning what we need to do in beginning to pray successfully by praying the Scriptures themselves.

In the “Dark Ages” of television, before there were hundreds of cable channels with nothing to watch and before there was even color broadcasting, much less HDTV, the news division of one of the networks (CBS) had a show entitled, “You Are There!” The idea of the show was to take you back and allow ...read more

The Number-One Myth About Money

Contributed by Dave Ramsey on May 13, 2014

We learned in school that when you give things away, you end up with less. But that's not how it works with God.

Somewhere around the third or fourth grade, you and I learned to do math word problems. And they would say things like, "If you had $1,000 and you gave away $100, how much would you have left?" And we all learned $900. In other words, we started with $1,000. After giving away $100, we only have ...read more

INTRODUCTION By a show of hands, how many of you have done the Ancestry DNA testing? I did it a few months ago, and they recently updated their database, and with the updated results, I have some questions.

Gender Matters Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Nov 15, 2022

In God’s good design, He created everyone as male or female.

I want to begin this message called, “Gender Matters” with some ground rules and foundational points. 1.

God Exists

Contributed by Dennis King on Sep 8, 2021

The interaction of all Earthly facets and our perfect positioning within the universe proves we are engaged in a divinely led, interlocking cohesiveness. All this is still being directed by the will and the spoken word of our God.

God Exists How well do you know your Creator? Do you really believe in our Creator and all that He is? Did God create everything or are we living in chaos by random chance? If we simply look around us at all that “nature” offers, we see evidence that everything indicates there has to be a creator. ...read more

What Happens To Those Who Have Never Heard About Jesus?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jun 24, 2024

Since Jesus is the only way to salvation, then what does that mean for those who have never heard about Him or the Gospel message that only through Him can a person find salvation?

INTRODUCTION The Bible tells us that no human being is basically good and willingly seeks after God and His holiness because of the sinful nature passed down through the DNA of Adam and Eve after the Fall (See Genesis 3 – also Romans 5:12,18-19). As a result, all of humanity is dead in their ...read more
