    Legal Counsel For Christians Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Aug 4, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,034 views

    Jesus provides counsel on domestic disputes, sex crimes, adultery and divorce; and He even says something that can be applied to swearing on the Bible in a court of law. Jesus, being part of the court of heaven, knows about legal matters!

    I have entitled our message for this morning, “Legal Counsel for Christians.” You may not realize it, but the Bible is full of courtroom imagery. The most noteworthy example is the great white throne of judgement seen in the book of Revelation (20:11-15). Did you know that Jesus will be there ...read more

    We’ve been looking at a series of parables from Luke’s gospel that have been leading to one of the most profound parables of them all; the story the rich man and Lazarus, or what I’m calling, “A Crypt-tic Tale.” Its moral is to listen to God now or regret if for eternity.

    Jesus Answers The Divorce Question Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Sep 11, 2023
     | 1,668 views

    When Jesus returned to His public ministry in Mark 10, the Pharisees tried to trap Him with a question about divorce. Jesus dealt with their question by directing them back to God's original design and intent in creation.

    A. In the last two sermons in our sermon series on the Gospel of Mark, we have been watching Jesus privately teaching His disciples some very important lessons on discipleship. 1. The topics He discussed with them were about prayer, the passion of Jesus, pride and prejudice. 2. I trust that we have ...read more

    The Six Elements Of The Spirit-Filled Life Series

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jun 21, 2022
     | 1,821 views

    This sermon is an introduction to a 6 Part Series providing a brief overview of each element: First, Jesus was God attentive. Second, he was compassion oriented. Third, he was sacramentally minded. Fourth, he was word centered. Fifth, he was spirit empowered. And Sixth, he was sin resistant.

    Some of you know that last week I graduated with my doctorate. Thank you very much for the cards. But you may not know that I had to learn about the periodic table of the elements. In fact, I had to memorize the entire table. I don’t want that information to go to waste, so I thought I would ...read more

    The manner in which David deals with Mephibosheth shows us the standard of love long before Jesus preached it.

    Pure In Heart: Defined Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Apr 10, 2023

     | 2,532 views

    In this sixth beatitude, we must understand the standard Jesus is setting with the with the phrase "pure in heart.". If we set the standard too low, we fail to enter into the fullness of the blessing. If we set it too high we forsake the pursuit as futile.

    Intro We are studying the Beatitudes with an interest in how to position ourselves for revival. What attitudes of heart are conducive to experiencing more of God’s grace and participating in what he is doing. The Beatitudes provide insight for participating in the kingdom of God because this is the ...read more

    Got Problems?

    Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Apr 20, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,255 views

    Promises cause problems, which God uses to give provision. God gave Israel and you three options: surrender to the crisis, fight the undefeatable foe, or trust in God to deliver you from the enemies that present themselves, and to wipe them out.

    Promises cause problems, which God uses to give provision. Consider Moses and the children of Israel fleeing from Pharaoh and brutal slavery. They had been delivered from 400 years of slavery by ten plagues that crushed Egypt, the most powerful nation on the face of the earth at that time. They ...read more
