Sermons on Earthly Possessions:

More Precious Than Gold

Contributed by Antonius Fu on May 8, 2023

By God's grace, we receive the faith to believe in Him. And by His protection, when our faith is tested, it produces the purity of life. A life with a new quality, a life into a living hope and an inheritance kept for us in Heaven, this is a new life that is more precious than gold.

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 17, 2021

Jesus is reaching out to this generation calling them to follow Him. He wants to pour Himself into them to make authentic reproductions of Himself. His call supersedes all other earthly responsibilities. Do we have enough of Jesus to reproduce Him?

Praying For Action

Contributed by Chris Surber on Oct 20, 2007

Humble Yourself Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Jul 22, 2013

If you want to meet Jesus, you won’t find him at the pinnacle of earthly successes; you have to climb down to the Cornerstone-Jesus is always at the bottom of things, holding everyone else up.
