    Before we can appreciate the good news of the forgiveness of sin through repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, we must face the bad news that we are, by nature, lost sinners.

    A Collection We Can Do Without (Romans 2:1-11) 1. Sometimes the line between right and wrong is blurry; take this story: SAN JOSE, Calif. (Reuters) All Tamar Sherman wanted to do was pet a dog and give it some water. Sherman’s act left her with a criminal record. A few months ago, Sherman was ...read more

    IN THIS SERMON WE SEE THE CAUSE OF BACKSLIDING, THE CHARACTER OF BACKSLIDING, AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF BACKSLIDING.

    BACKSLIDING Jeremiah 8:1-7 Backsliding is not losing one’s salvation according to John 5:24. It is breaking fellowship with God, it is becoming at ease in the things of God. It can be out of Church or in Church. A backslider is a saved person who falls backwards into sin. We have the examples ...read more

    Message: Out with the Old and In with the New. This morning we are going to take a look into a small portion of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians.

    Do you have a desire to be the vessel that God created you to be? Or do you want to remain soiled and unused?

    “ARE YOU CLEAN ON THE INSIDE?” Here in my hand I hold this pretty china teacup. According to the seal at the bottom of this teacup it was handcrafted in Bavaria Germany, by a company called Jomann Haviland. It has a small crown as a seal, which I assume is the manufacturer’s logo. The outside ...read more

    Unconfessed sin will lead to the destruction of life and eternal separation from God the Father.

    Sin comes about by breaking one of God’s Laws. For example, we have committed a sinful act when: 1. we worship something or someone other than God 2. we worship images representing God 3. we take the name of the LORD in vain 4. we break the Sabbath 5. we dishonor our father and/or mother 6. we ...read more

    Using David as an example of how sin separates us from God and others, destroying our life in the process.

    Through the summer we have been looking at the life of David. We have seen how God chose this unlikely boy to be the next king because he had a heart for God. As a teenager David stepped out in faith to kill Goliath against all odds, he faithfully served under a king who tried to kill him. For ...read more

    As we’ve been learning from our study in Romans, the picture that Paul paints of the human race is not a pretty sight. The good news is that he’s almost done speaking about sin. The bad news is that what we are faced with today is perhaps the strongest

    Why do people commit spiritual adultery? Why do people become fallow (hard toward God, neglectful, weeds of sin)? Because they begin to drift.

    I. Drifting – Hebrews 2:1 – (lest happily we drift away from them) a. Drifting requires no effort 1. Just stop oaring (working) 2. We ought to give the most earnest heed b. Drifting can be an unconscious process 1. It is possible to drift unaware 2. When ...read more

     | 69,977 views

    Often our lives are cluttered by the residue of past experiences, making it difficult for us to receive the full blessings of God.

    Text: Numbers 4:13 "And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon..." My brothers and sisters, biblically, the origin of the altar goes clear back to Genesis when Noah built an altar to offer sacrifices after the flood. Genesis 8 & 20 says: "And Noah ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 11,239 views

    After Adam sinned God came calling to him "Where Art Thou" not to find where Adam was, but so that Adam would relize where he was. This question is manifold in it’s meaning. This mesage looks at where Adam was Physically, Emotionally, and Spiritually.

    WHERE ART THOU ? Intro: God had completed the heavens and the Earth. (2:1) God sets the pattern for a day of rest. (2:2) Man had perfect fellowship with God (walked with Him) (1:29) God had provided every thing for man’s needs. God commanded man to not touch or eat from the tree of ...read more

    S I N -- it is a word we don’t like to use anymore in our churches.

    The “S” Word There is a three letter word that we don’t like to say in churches. The rest of the world uses this word all the time, but we don’t. It makes Christians feel uncomfortable. It makes us feel dirty. Maybe ashamed. Or embarrassed. The word is S – I – N. Sin! Yep, some of you ...read more

    All too often our definition for Good News has to do with interesting new Bible stories, or feel good inspirationals. But we may find ourselves one day in the Valley of Despair – Valley of Dry Bones, as a result of sin (birthed within us).

    THE BIRTH OF SIN Revised – 08.20.06 (Edit in text from “Elijah”, Chas. Swindoll, pages 127 – 131) Perhaps you came this morning expecting to hear some “Good News”… How do you define the term “Good News”?
