    Instructions For Easter Series

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Apr 6, 2023
     | 1,132 views

    Both the Angels and Jesus give us instructions on what to do with Easter: accept Jesus for ourselves; go and tell others of our salvation in Christ, and then rejoice!

    ALLELUIA! HERE THE GOOD NEWS! JESUS CHRIST HAS RISEN FROM THE DEAD JUST AS HE SAID HE WOULD! SIN IS DEFEATED AND DEATH HAS BEEN CONQUERED. THE WORK OF JESUS CHRIST ON EARTH CAN NOW BE SUMMARIZED INTO ONE WORD – VICTORY! THE DEATH OF JESUS ON THE CROSS WAS, IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS, A VICTORIOUS ...read more

    We Saw It, But We Don't Really Believe It!

    The struggle to believe is real, but it is overcome when we meet the Risen, Living Son of God.

    “On the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, ‘They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, ...read more

    Responsiliberty PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 25, 2023
    based on 3 ratings
     | 606 views

    The main point of this sermon is to explore the freedom we have in Christ (and as Americans), and to understand the responsibilities that come with that freedom in order to live as a testimony to God's love and grace.

    Good morning, brothers and sisters in Christ! Today, we'll take a few minutes to explore the intersection of our freedom in Christ, the freedom we enjoy as Americans, and the responsibilities that come with that freedom. What a fitting sermon topic as we prepare for the 4th of July this week. Max ...read more

    The Jewish Roots Of The Lord’s Supper

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Aug 2, 2021
     | 1,421 views

    The Lord’s Supper is rich with meaning, but best understood in its original context. We can move in that direction by looking at the Jewish Roots of this meaningful ritual.

    The Jewish Roots of the Lord’s Supper (I Corinthians 10:1-5 and chapter 11:23, 26, passim) 1. A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon. Four worms were placed into four separate jars: The first worm was put into a container of alcohol. The second worm ...read more

     | 328 views

    God values mercy and compassion over religious rituals and rules. As followers of Jesus, we are called to extend mercy to everyone we encounter, regardless of their circumstances.

    Hey guys! Ever wondered what gets God really pumped? What makes Him say, 'Yeah, that's what I'm talking about!'? Well, today we're going to dive into that. Spoiler alert: It's mercy. So, what's mercy? Think about when you're playing a video game, and you're totally crushing your friend. You could ...read more

    Worship Today

    Contributed by Timothy Darling on Jan 4, 2007
     | 2,512 views

    Jesus introduces a shift in worship, focusing worship on the spiritual instead of the physical. The future of worship as Jesus was describing it would be a spiritual more than a ritual activity.

    Worship today John 4:19-24 The original worship must have been amazing. Eve and Adam, surrounded by the Garden of Eden, something between a botanical garden and an orchard. Discussions at dusk of keeping trees, naming animals, new things they tried, and gratitude for the bounty and beauty they ...read more

    The Blessing Of A Willing Vessel

    Contributed by Joyce Scott on Mar 22, 2003
    based on 25 ratings
     | 18,549 views

    Mary’s blessing came as a result of her willingness to be used of God. I’m convinced that it is not our "fullness" that attracts God, but our "emptiness". If you are willing to be used of God, and learn to be emptied of "self", then God will use you to d

    The True Meaning Of Christmas

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Dec 17, 2021
     | 3,315 views

    Every December, hundreds of millions of people and even billions of people worldwide celebrate Christmas, the birth of Jesus. Is Jesus happy with that? Was Jesus really born on December 25th?

    Intro: What would have happened if it had been three wise WOMEN instead of men? They would have asked for directions, arrived on time, helped deliver the baby, cleaned the stable, made a casserole, and brought disposable diapers as gifts! Let's read Isaiah 1:10-18: "10 Hear the word of ...read more

    Jesus Does Not Need Your Cain

    Too many professing Christians believe Christ needs a little help to finish His work. They are like the Judiazers Paul fought and like Cain who wanted God to accept His work rather than having the faith of Abel.

    Act 15:22 Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren: 23 And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and ...read more

    based on 241 ratings
     | 5,647 views

    Only personal, significant contact with our risen Lord brings about true faith and obedience. All else is only ritual, and religious rhetoric. We MUST see Jesus!

    Although it seems in my own experience that the account of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus is primarily used when preaching during the Easter season, I am sure that through the years it has been a favorite passage for many preachers, as well as lay students of the scriptures.

    Here, God empties Jacob of his NATURAL effort and teaches Jacob to trust Him completely.

    What images come to mind when I mention the word wrestling? For some, it is an image of a High school wrestling match. Others happily envision Dad wrestling with his son. And a few of us think of the theater of “professional wrestling” with Iron Rings of death and tag team death ...read more

    Human rebellion: Man’s depravity- devising, conspiring and scheming emptiness against God.

    The Lord Laughs Psalm 2:1-12NIV Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? 2 The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against the Lord and against his anointed, saying, 3  “Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.” 4 The One ...read more

    Experience the wonder and awe the women must have felt on finding the empty tomb this Easter morning.

    In everyday speech, we tend to use words like “wonderful” and “awesome” quite a bit. “That cake was wonderful.” “I got out of work early today and had an awesome afternoon.” “What a wonderful service.” Usually we just mean something was nice, or convenient, or was pleasing to the senses. But I ...read more
