    We are plagued with doubts. But these words from Romans are designed to rid our souls of doubt.

    Romans 8:31-39: DOUBT-FREE CHRISTIANITY Have you noticed how often the word “free” appears at the grocery store? Everything is free! What I mean is this – you can buy milk that is fat-free.

    Lots of reasons to be dreary. But there are even more compelling reasons to rejoice.

    Romans 5:1-5 DREARY-FREE CHRISTIANITY This past week with the warmer weather, I was finally able to clean out some of my garage. It’s not such a bad place to be when the weather is decent. One thing I was finally able to get rid of is a pile of dirt that always sits right next to my car. All ...read more

    based on 64 ratings
     | 6,787 views

    The love of Christ compels us to have heavy hearts over those without hope in the Savior.

    Remember the Tin man from the Wizard of Oz? What he wanted more than anything was to have a heart. He saw himself as an emotionless hunk of metal trapped in a tin body and incapable of feeling. He wanted to know what it was like to have compassion. In the end, what we remember most about ...read more

    After professing faith in Jesus, the next step is to show that we have faith, we do this through good works.

    First Baptist Church James 2:14-26 September 23, 2001 James is one of my favorite books of the Bible because it is practical. James is straight forward and does not beat around the bush. Today’s passage is considered one of the most controversial and misunderstood passages in James. Where is ...read more

     | 5,155 views

    So many Christians believe if they were given the choice to renounce Jesus or die, that they would choose torture and death, but would they really? If we cannot make small sacrifices now, we cannot hope to make bigger ones later.

    In this sermon, I also shared the Text Illustration: The Rich Family in Church by Eddie Ogan Read story of a martyr – short one. I chose the story of Nichomachus, from Foxes Book of Martyrs. You’re living your life for Jesus Christ, but are you ready AND willing to die for Him? Could ...read more

    We are often referred to, in one way or another, as trees of God. This Christmas season, let’s make sure our tree bears the right ornaments.

    ORNAMENTS ON A CHRISTIAN TREE By Pastor Jim May King Tut never saw a Christmas tree, but he would have understood the tradition.

     | 10,091 views

    We have made Christianity into a spectator sport. We just sit back in church and listen to the music, and the sermons and never really get involved in the game. We need some Christians today to get off the sidelines and get on the front lines.

    Intro: It was the first day of basketball practice at Wingate High School in Brooklyn, N.Y. The Coach handed a ball to each player. “Boys,” he said, “I want you to practice shooting from the spots you might expect to be in during the game.” One of the boys (who was pretty much there as a ...read more

    Well, we come today to the end of Colossians. If you’ve been here for the last month and a half, I wonder if you can remember what the major themes of the letter have been?

    Paul said that our lives are written epistles, and that they are being read by the entire world. He said this in order to reveal just how much influence believers can have in impacting the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

    This evening we are going to discuss the power of the written letter. Have you ever thought about how powerful writing is? For example, consider how writing is used by the news media to push certain political agendas and worldviews. There’s just something about the written (or printed) word that ...read more
