    Christ Gives Us Total Freedom? Series

    Luther gave 2 statements about Christian Freedom: "A Christian is a perfectly free lord of all, subject to none. A Christian is a perfectly dutiful servant of all, subject to everyone." St. Paul tells us what Christian Freedom really means.

    Epiphany 4 I Corinthians 8:1-13 In just one word, what is the reason that thousands of our young men and women are being deployed half-way around the world to Iraq? Well, if you had to boil it down to just one word, that reason would be: freedom. Freedom for the Iraqi people from the dictator ...read more

    The School Of Thanksgiving

    Contributed by Chris Willis on Oct 17, 2007

    My own expression of an outline adapted from James MacDonald’s sermon of the same name. Living a thankful life is beyond the childhood learning of saying a dutiful thank-you for everything we receive and the adolescent development of reminding ourselves o

    The School Of Thanksgiving! *Outline from James McDonald* Here’s the problem I have on a morning like this. I grew up in a secular home where we celebrated with gusto the holidays. You’ve heard me share with you about the materialism of the Willis family Christmas. But not just Christmas, holidays ...read more

    Explores the call to servitude, sacrifice, and courage in faith.

    Good morning, beloved. How wonderful it is to gather in the house of the Lord, to sit beneath His grace and mercy, to bask in His love and bountiful blessings. We are here not by accident, but by divine appointment, hand-picked by God Himself to be part of this family, this body of Christ. Today, ...read more

    Getting To The Heart Of Things – Part 1 Series

    Contributed by Warren Lamb on Oct 6, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,368 views

    In our drama today, we see it once again. This is not an authorization to blast people full-force with anger, vehemence or vitriol. It is, however, a demonstration to us that we have the biblical, God-ordained, Christian duty to be truly honest when we en

    We could actually entitle this study “Jesus and the Forbidding Pharisees, Part 6”. What we encounter today is almost a continuation of our study of Matthew 12. In that series of lesson, we examined the dynamic discrepancies between what the Pharisees practiced and promoted and what God actually ...read more

    This outline differentiates between the "called" of Matthew 22:14 and the "called" of Romans 8:30. In the Matthew passage, only a few of the many who were called responded to the invitation. In the Romans passage, all who are called become the children of

     | 2,585 views

    As Jesus begins his ministry, he calls out several men to follow him. This sermon considers the first disciples that Jesus calls.

    We all like to follow someone at various times in our lives. We may be motivated by curiosity, fear, ambition, knowledge, information. Sometimes our following is a simple and non-committed social media follow - we might just want to be in the know. Other times our following results in a certain ...read more

    Saul And Ananias

    based on 39 ratings
     | 28,352 views

    Christ’s call to Saul on the Road to Damascus and Christ’s call to Ananias to visit Saul in Damascus both provide insight into the nature of Christ’s call.

    This passage is most typically known as Saul’s conversion story—his Damascus Road Experience. It describes a dramatic encounter between Saul and Jesus on the road to Damascus…the encounter that started Saul down a new path that would make him the most prolific evangelist of the early church and ...read more

    The Camel Squeezed Out From Tail To Snout

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Oct 10, 2007
     | 3,017 views

    Jesus call to discipleship is a call of sacrifice. Anything that stands in the way of answering that call must be deserted. This truth is shown through the encounter of Jesus with the rich young ruler.

    Little did I know when I planned this sermon, that we would have a live camel at VBS this year. At any rate, I want to tell you a story. It is the story of the ill-fated Franklin expedition to the Arctic in 1845. That odyssey was a turning point in Arctic exploration because of its well-publicized ...read more

    A Word Of Praise (The Doxology)

    Contributed by Larry Grant on Aug 22, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,404 views

    Jude sounds a warning of danger and he issues a call to action. He calls on the Called, the Beloved, the Kept for Jesus Christ to "earnestly contend for the faith".

    A doxology is a short prayer or hymn of praise that extols the glory and majesty of God. Originally Jude (the brother of Jesus) planned to write about the "common salvation" V3 of the Brethren, but God changed his direction. God wanted us to know the reality and the danger of ungodly ...read more
