Are The Heathen Really Lost?

Contributed by James Snyder on May 30, 2016

My life with God begins when I realize my lost condition and I am helpless and hopeless apart from Jesus Christ.

Introduction… The doctrine of the lostness of man has truly been neglected in this generation. For some reason people believe that nobody is really lost except maybe the extreme serial killer or rapist. This message needs to be reintroduced in today’s society. The question I want to ...read more

Contributed by Freddy Fritz on May 11, 2005

In this sermon, we learn about what we were under the law and what are in Christ.

Scripture Becoming a Christian was for me a great liberation. At nineteen years of age, the Holy Spirit started convicting me of my sin. I became acutely aware that I was breaking God’s law.

The Unity Factor Series

Contributed by Tim Smith on Oct 19, 2009

Who is God and what’s he like? The Trinity is one of the distinctive beliefs of the Christian faith. No other religion has incorporated in its belief system this concept of the Trinity. Many religions propose that there is only one God – Islam, for exampl

Trinity: The Unity Factor 1 John 5:7 NKJV If someone asked you, “What’s God like?” how would you respond? One email I received answered this way: "God is a little like General Electric. He brings good

Show Your Faith

Contributed by Dennis Fox on Oct 22, 2023

Jesus says he will stand for us on Judgment Day. Will you stand up for him now or will you hide in the shadows.

Show Your Faith We’ve found out something interesting. Reality TV has nothing to do with reality. I’m betting that is a shock to no one. Karen and I had watched a reality show about couples who met abroad, until it turned into nothing but a parade of the absurd to the point we couldn’t even ...read more

How High Can We Go? Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 3, 2021

Paul is a master of the balanced life, and that is why we see both the negatives and the positives so often in his writings. Be not conformed, but be transformed he says in verse 2, and now in verse 3 he gives us another negative and positive to keep us steady as we climb.

An officer of the American Flying Corps told of his experience during World War II. He went out over the ocean alone, and he saw a storm coming rapidly toward him. It was blacker than midnight. He looked down to see if he could go beneath it, but the ocean was already boiling with fury. His only ...read more

The Athanasian Creed: All Truth

Contributed by David Mcnally on May 26, 2013

There are three Ecumenical Creeds which were constructed in the early days of the Church, to communicate Scriptural truth and combat errors. We can use them as tools for evangelism.

The purpose and value of the Athanasian Creed: ‘all truth’ John 16 v. 13 We are here today because we believe certain things about God and Jesus. If we did not believe them we would be in a different place, a different church. If we did not believe any of them we wouldn’t be in ...read more

Measuring A Strong Christian

Contributed by Graham Kettle on Feb 26, 2024

Samuel was sent to anoint David as Israel's new king. He soon learned that God’s measure for a person was very different from man’s. The same is still true. God’s measure for us to apply is vastly different than that used by many people today, even inside the church.

MEASURING A STRONG CHRISTIAN 1. INTRODUCTION When Samuel was sent to anoint David as the new king of Israel, he learned that God’s measure of a person was different than man’s: 1 Sam 16:6,7 When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and thought, “Surely the Lord’s anointed stands here before the ...read more
