    With His Coming

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Mar 30, 2015
     | 4,841 views

    Jesus became vulnerable so that we might become victorious. He put himself in harm's way to drive all harm away from us.

    THERE’S A STORY in the Bible about King Jehoshaphat and how, one day, he was given some distressing news. Messengers came, and they told him that the massive armies of three – not one or two, but three – nations were coming against him. “A great multitude,” they ...read more

    The Laws of God are NOT outdated! They will never be outdated! They can never go out of style, never be considered old fashioned or powerless.

    In our passage today, we will see that Paul was set-apart to do God’s work and now He is going to make a Declaration of Christ to all he can!

    Introduction Last week, we looked at Romans 1:1 and the calling of Paul, to become a servant /slave. He set-apart by God for the gospel’s sake, to preach the Good News. In our passage today, we will see that Paul was set-apart to do God’s work and now He is going to make a ...read more

    Good Versus Evil

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Dec 16, 2015
     | 5,432 views

    We want to make real changes in our lives, but many of us are looking for a magic pill to solve all of our problems. We have to open ourselves to the wonderful and unpredictable Spirit that is flowing so freely and so full of life all around us.

    The first seven chapters of the Book of Romans have focused on the power of sin in our lives, and they have set the stage for chapter 8 by discussing Paul’s ideas about sin. Our reading today from Romans 8:1-11 is an entrance into friendly territory. It talks about the Holy Spirit, which was ...read more

     | 11,036 views

    This sermon deals with some of the reasons we fail to draw close to God and the virtues of being close to God.

    How close is close enough? Closer Zeno’s paradox. Imagine I had high school boys and girls lined up at opposite ends of the gym and had them half the distance between them every 10 seconds, how long would it be before they are touching? Well, if I always half the distance, they will never ...read more

    In this parable, the Lord used the image of eyesight to convey an important spiritual principle.

    We all would agree that eyesight is something that is very important to all of us. Illus: Did you hear about the fellow that went to the store the other day, and he said that he was there for only about 5 minutes.

    #2 out of 2 Peter. In contrast to the worlds' "makeover," we can experience God's real "makeover" in Christ.

    Fix It Jesus

     | 32,054 views

    We wonder what can we do to fix our world; but I want you to know that no matter how much we try to fix a situation, it will and can only be fixed by divine intervention.

    In this day and time of murders, robberies, wars and infidelity, we can see that there is something wrong with our society today. Our society has been broken in many ways and the moral decline is just a part of it. Time and time again, we wake up to see on our local news where someone has been ...read more

    What Christ Wants From Us For Christmas

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 20, 2022
     | 2,087 views

    If you ask people what their favorite SEASON is most folks will answer that it is SPRING or FALL.

    Why? Because these two seasons give us a mixture of WINTER and SUMMER at the same time. That is; in these seasons it is not TOO HOT nor is it TOO COLD. However, if you ask people what their FAVORITE THOLIDAY is, overwhelmingly many would say -- CHRISTMAS. It is a time when it seems everyone ...read more

    This is the third in a series on Ephesians 5 & 6. I am indebted to Russell Brownworth who wrote the sermon entitled "Five Kinds of Love That Build the Home". You can find it on Sermon Central.

    COME AND GO!--MARK 7:24-30 --by R. David Reynolds I do not know for certain who this Syrophoenician woman was, but somehow I picture her as a single parent with a real problem.
