Judas Iscariot

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Mar 13, 2018

Why did Judas Iscariot betray Jesus - was there an ulterior motive? Did Judas Iscariot see something in Jesus that the other disciples missed? Was Judas Iscariot trying to kick-start Jesus into action as the real and promised Messiah, the expected Messiah

Empowered To Do Exploits

Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 25, 2016

God expects His people to do exploits. The catch is that we can only do exploits when we're firmly grafted into Jesus Christ. We must get to "know" God if we would do His works.

EMPOWERED TO DO EXPLOITS Dan. 11:32 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Sometimes husbands or wives find themselves in trouble. At a department store a clerk was helping a customer. 2. “Will that be cash, check, or charge?” the clerk asked the woman. As she fumbled for her wallet the clerk ...read more

'amend Your Way'

Contributed by Patrick Agbonkpolor on Oct 13, 2020

Our walk with God is predicated on our being obedient to Him. No one lives in disobedience and expect the blessings from God no matter how religious he tries to be. We need to amend our way in conformity to the Word of God.

"This saith the LORD of hosts,the God of Israel,Amend your ways and your doings,and I will cause you to dwell in this place" (Jer 7:3) This message came to Judah through Jeremiah about 612 BC.

New Year's Reflection & Preparation

Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Dec 30, 2019

As you consider the last 12 months, was it what you expected? Life is turbulent, but our God prepares us for it all. See how the words of Psalm 46 calm troubled hearts, give Godly perspective, and prepare us for the future.

I want you to think back to one year ago, December 29, 2018. At that point in time, what were you expecting or hoping 2019 would bring? Maybe you were hoping that it was going to be the year to lose a few of those unwanted pounds, to start exercising more, to eat healthier. Maybe you hoped that ...read more

Our Example Within Suffering

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 8, 2020

Peter had dealt at length with the life believers were expected to live, even in the midst of trials and suffering. Looking to the greatest example he had, Peter offered a challenge for the church to follow in the path Jesus had set before them.

Our Example within Suffering 1 Peter 2: 21-25 Our text today is a rich passage that deals with much of what Christ endured on our behalf. Peter also speaks of the abundance believers receive through a relationship with Christ. While these truths are universal, and foundational elements of the ...read more

The Hope Of Christmas

Contributed by David Radcliff on Nov 30, 2017

Man’s hope is usually built on what we expect, want, or desire to happen. But the Bible never allows the Child of God to build our hope on the likes of Man, but we are allowed to build our hope on the immutability of God Himself.

THE HOPE OF CHRISTMAS Isaiah 9:6, 7 Isaiah 9:6,7 is a prophecy of the coming Messiah, Jesus Christ. At the time Isaiah prophesied these words only darkness, gloom, and despair appeared to lay in store for the Nation of Israel. Darkness as black as night prevailed upon the land through the sin of ...read more

Surprising The World Premium Sermon

Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 9, 2023

This sermon introduction discusses the anxiety some people feel towards evangelism, questioning if faith-sharing should be anxiety-inducing, and referencing Michael Frost's book "Surprise the World" which suggests that not everyone should be expected to evangelize in the same way.

Why does the word ‘evangelism’ cause some people so much anxiety? Do you get images of door-knocking or approaching strangers in shopping malls? Does it make you feel like you’re being turned into a reluctant recruitment officer for the church? Should faith-sharing really be anxiety producing? In ...read more
