The Harvest

Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Jan 8, 2002

Is our inheritance in this life, the life to come, or both?

The Harvest What a privilege and honor to be called and used by God to do His will. Our calling is not to put our focus on this earth, nor is it to make the world a better place. Our calling is to follow Jesus Christ on a pilgrimage to heaven. In doing so, we will also fulfill God’s purpose for ...read more

How should Christians respond to those who oppose or attack Christianity?

I have watched Christians in these types of ...read more

Why Jesus Is The Only Way To Salvation.

Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Jul 14, 2003

In our modern culture, the way of salvation is under challenge within and without the church. This sermon addresses this important issue.

Why Jesus is the only Way to salvation. In our post modern culture, the question frequently arises, “Why do you say Jesus is the only way?” or “Who are you to say Jesus is the only way?” We can expect the culture to ask questions like this, but in the last few years the Christian church itself has ...read more

Is our nation withing God’s will as we prepare for war and what is the church’s responsibility?

Uncertainty of War and the Protection of God As we enter this time of uncertainty and war seems eminent, I question our position as a nation in God’s divine plan.

Understanding Works Series

Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Jan 4, 2003

In this sermon we explore the difference between works by human effort and godly works.

Good deeds or works fall primarily into two categories: man driven works and God produced works. Man-centered religion always works to improve self in the hope that we will reach the level of salvation. Even Christians fall into this trap. Man driven works is either the attempt to become a god or ...read more

What every Christian should know about faith. This sermon examines true biblical faith: what faith is; how we live by faith; how our faith grows.

Understanding Faith Faith is a foundational principle in the scriptures. If we don’t have faith, we don’t have salvation.

This study looks at the clear signs given by Jesus and the apostles that point to the falling away from the faith and the condition of the church nearing the end-times.

The Church in the Last Days The clearest sign given to the Christian that we are in the last days is the falling away from true faith.

Humility Of Abraham Vs. The Pride Of Babel

Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Oct 18, 2000

Only God has the right to make a name for us. Abraham submitted and was exalted, the people of Babel exalted and were humbled.

The Humility of Abraham or Pride of Babel I want to start by looking at Isaiah 57: 15: For thus says the High and Lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to ...read more
