Better: A Call To Goals & Growth

Contributed by Harold Eggar on Jan 3, 2025

All Scripture is taken from the ESV unless otherwise noted. I do not spend much time correcting spelling and grammar in my notes as I deliver these sermons orally. I apologize if that makes this sermon more difficult to follow on paper.

Exercising And Exorcising

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 8, 2025

In this passage, we see two blind men who had to "exercise" their faith to receive their sight. However, we see another kind of exercise in this passage; or rather, “exorcise,” as Jesus exorcised a demon from a man who was mute.

You have probably heard someone say before that we need to “exercise” our faith. In Hebrews chapter 12, we read, “Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:1b-2a). Jesus is both the author and finisher. He is ...read more

Mana From Heaven -- Jesus Feeding The Five Thousand Series

Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Jan 8, 2025

The four evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John explain the many ways in which God provides us through the story of Jesus feeding the five thousand.

I recall a day at Trinity College Theological School when, during a Homiletics Class, a mature-aged feminist student preparing for ministry challenged me. She demanded that I account for the disciples counting only the men to the exclusion of women and children in the story of Jesus feeding the ...read more

Making The Most Of Every Opportunity

Contributed by David Owens on Mar 25, 2024

Where did the Easter holiday come from? How do Christians and Churches navigate holidays in a way that takes advantage of what is on people's minds without creating religious holidays and traditions that are not biblically authorized?

A. One day an atheist was complaining to his Christian friend, “You Christians have your special holidays, such as Christmas and Easter and Jews celebrate their special holidays, such as Passover and Yom Kippur, but we atheists have no recognized special holidays. It’s just not fair!” 1. The ...read more

"The Forgotten Man Of Christmas,” (Christmas Sermon)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 17, 2025

Not On My Watch

Contributed by Ricky Tuttle Thd on Jan 2, 2026

Not a normal sermon I would share but a deep desire to keep our children in church as they grow up! I believe in Bible preaching, and I lean very heavy into “Expository Preaching” because understanding the Bible will help us to stand for truth. But what are we teaching our young?

Restore Me To Joy

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 10, 2026

Revival begins not when we try harder, but when we see God as gracious and allow the joy of salvation to be restored.

There is a difference between being lost and being tired. And if we don’t recognize that difference, we will keep speaking the wrong word to the wrong people. Many people in church today are not lost. They are not rebellious. They are not angry at God. They are not trying to run away. They are ...read more
