    Are You Ready?

    Are you ready? If you were to die right now would you go to Heaven? God wants you to know positively that you are saved or not.

    Are You Ready? I dedicate this sermon first of all to God for showing me this wonderful truth. And to my friend, Keith who shouted to others this truth by his actions until the day he died. I know I will see him in Heaven. I went to Curacoa for my mission trip last ...read more

    The deceptive power of the spirit of the Antichrist is growing. We must ever be on guard lest we also fall prey to his power of deception.

    DELUDED AND FOOLED 2 Thessalonians 2:7-12, "For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of ...read more

    How Radical Should You Get?

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 10, 2003
    based on 28 ratings
     | 4,097 views

    When we first come to Christ we are tempted to make radical changes to our lives in order to prove our devotion to God. But there are some dangers there - and Paul addresses these in answer to a perplexing question.

    There was a saying when I first became a believer in Jesus Christ. It was a way of characterizing your devotion to the Lord – you’d say “I’m radically saved.” We meant that we had given all of ourselves to Him, and it was a good thing. But some people took the radical part to extremes. There were ...read more

    "A Waterpot, A Well, & A Word!!!"

    Contributed by Charles Banks on Jun 12, 2003
    based on 57 ratings
     | 15,707 views

    This sermon clearly shows us how we are to do what we can to carry the Word of Life into a dying humanity and try to invite someone to meet JESUS CHRIST as much as we can! It also shows us that we need to leave whatever our struggles may be with JESUS wh

    “A Waterpot, A Well, & A Word!!!” John 4:28-30 The Waterpot This waterpot has a lot of valuable lessons that we can all learn and apply to our daily lives! Just like this woman, we all have a waterpot of our own. However, it is important to note that some of us have preoccupied our waterpots ...read more

    This is the third sermon in a series on the Promise of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit wants to give us so much to enable us to live the Christian life, the sermon talks about the spirit led life.

    “The Promise” Part 3 The Provision Pastor Glenn Newton June 8, 2003 GAL 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the ...read more

    Let’s talk about the positive aspects of fatherhood. And to do that, I call your attention to the familiar story of the prodigal son, & especially to the father of the prodigal son.

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (REVISED: 2017) (This sermon is largely my adaptation of an excellent sermon by Dennis Slaughter, former Minister of Valley View Christian Church, Dallas, TX.)

    Even though our culture says otherwise, it is imperative that we be in church whenever we can.

    Music Lesson By The Tone Deaf. Series

    Contributed by John Gullick on Jul 6, 2003
    based on 31 ratings
     | 4,233 views

    A sermon that tries to compare the need for a rest in music with the need for rest for the Christian.

    I am tone deaf. Those who have heard me sing can only agree with me. Thank goodness I am not in a denomination where the minister sings the liturgy. Yet today I would like to give you a Music lesson. The lesson I would like to teach is that in music there is a space for the rest. Much great music ...read more

    Slippery Rocks

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 15, 2003
    based on 8 ratings
     | 4,198 views

    Even the fundamentals of our faith -- the Bible, prayer, the church, spiritual experience -- can become slippery, unsure. The way to certainty is through obedience.

    Although generally I stay away from stories that begin, “There were a Baptist minister, a Catholic priest, and a Jewish rabbi,” today I’ll make an exception. Sometimes you just have to be corny to get your point across. So, sure enough, there were a Baptist minister, a Catholic priest, and a ...read more

    God versus Cloning....God Wins!

    I recently read in Newsweek Magazine’s Special Double Edition Magazine an article that caused me to write the Lesson for today. The article wastitled "The God Game No More". Now after reading this, I was righteously angered. I thought,"Ya! You think so? How dare you say such a thing!" I then heard ...read more

    Worship

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jul 16, 2001
    based on 263 ratings
     | 48,048 views

    What is worship? How do we worship, and what prevents us from worshiping?

    We probably all have some kind of mental picture of what it means to worship. Depending on your church background, when you think of worship you may think of classical sacred music - a great choir, singing the Hallelujah chorus. Or perhaps what comes to mind is the image of a traditional brick ...read more

    Learn To Forgive Like Joseph

    based on 154 ratings
     | 30,875 views

    By the grace of God Christians can learn to forgive others as Joseph forgave his brothers.

    “Do we have to forgive Timothy McVeigh?” That question was discussed on the John Erling show on 740 AM, KRMG. A wide range of answers were given to that question. Some said, “No.” Others said, “Yes.” The host said he didn’t want to forgive him. There was a caller who said that since Mr. ...read more

    An Involved Community Series

    based on 26 ratings
     | 6,171 views

    If we live by the Spirit, it wil change how we live as part of the community of God’s people. We’ll care for one another, care for God’s ministers, never weary in doing good, and keep our focus clear.

    Since we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit. That’s Paul’s summary statement at the end of ch 5. We’ve spent all this time talking about how our salvation comes through the grace of God alone, how it’s faith alone that’s needed for us to be right with God, how nothing we can do ...read more
