    Are You Backsliding?

    Contributed by Philip Harrelson on Jan 6, 2012
     | 7,214 views

    A sermon that causes self-examination by asking "are you backsliding?" The sermon focuses on Absalom and Ahithophel.

    2 Samuel 18:18 KJV Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a pillar, which is in the king's dale: for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name: and it is called unto this day, Absalom's place. I. ...read more

    Contributed by Tom Shepard on Oct 8, 2011
    based on 18 ratings
     | 14,156 views

    Two main points from the life of Esau: 1. He was more concerned about the here-and-now than he was with the here-after. 2. Godliness comes by choice.

    One Mother – Two Nations Part #1 - Esau “Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, but Jacob was a peaceful man, living in tents.” Genesis 25:27 (NASB) God has always shown blessings to his people – take Rebecca as an example.

    based on 1 rating
     | 15,453 views

    Let us remember that as the church, God has put us in charge of something extremely important. God has put us in charge of witnessing for Christ in all places and at all times.

    One of the realities about the church of today is that there are a large number of believers that are very confused. I am not speaking about the false doctrines and sects; I am speaking about the confusion that there is reference the purpose of the church. I say this because when we ask a ...read more

     | 10,446 views

    A message of how a loving God made Himself smaller for us, so that we could grow larger in Him through Jesus Christ.

    I heard the story once of a great Cherokee wood carver. He took logs and sat them on a stump outside his back door and sat in front of that log sometimes for hours just staring at it. Finally, he would pick up his carving tools and start carving the most beautiful of things out of the wood. He ...read more

    Reflecting on Mary Magdalene’s visit to the tomb, we see her sorrow turn to joy upon seeing the risen Christ.

    April 8, 2012 John 20:10-18 Then the disciples went back to their homes, but Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot. They asked her, “Woman, ...read more

    Pain Turned Into Joy Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 12, 2009
    based on 12 ratings
     | 18,396 views

    It seems unreal that pain could be turned into joy. Yet pain is the very stuff of joy. It will come, not instantaneously, but completely. The risen Christ proves this, and can transform our disappointments, disillusionments, and shame into joy.

    “You will have pain, but y our pain will turn into joy.” That brings back memories of the doctor’s office and that giant needle moving ever closer. “This will hurt a little bit.” A little bit! When you are a year old, it hurts a lot, and there is no joy in it. No, I do not remember being one ...read more

    The Absence Of God

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 3, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,582 views

    January 1985: The psalmist experiences the absence of God, even to the point of denigrating himself as a "worm." But when he takes inventory, he does see evidence of God's presence, opens up his heart, and dares to hope.

    Today I am going to take a somewhat different approach to the reading of the Scripture and the way I will be preaching on it. And in fact I hope this will make it come alive for you and will enable you to follow the thought of the Scripture writer as well as my own thought. What I plan to do today ...read more

    Sometimes science and religion clash. Galileo was under house arrest when he discovered that the Earth was not the middle of the universe, but it was a planet going around the sun. Pre-Adam studies can be the same way.
