Faith Results In Good Works

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 15, 2022

True Christian faith is seen in its works.

Paul expresses that salvation is God’s free demonstration of grace, which we receive by faith, and not by acts of merit (Romans 3:28). James states by works a man is justified, and not by faith only (James 2:24). Indeed, even the demons possess a faith in God, yet have no genuine trust in Christ ...read more

Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 10, 2023

Exploring the transformation of Apostle Thomas from a doubter to a faithful follower of the Lord.

When we think of the disciples of Jesus, certain words often come to mind.

Fundamental Gratitude Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 4, 2023

Gratitude is more than just saying "thank you." It is an offering of thanks for the grace we have received. It is a reciprocal practice, where we receive God's grace and offer it back to Him and others.

You know, these past few years we've lost a lot of famous legends. It makes us all stop and think about what really matters in life. We all want to live a life that means something, right? A life that leaves a mark. But what makes a life meaningful? The Bible tells us it's all about gratitude. When ...read more

Liking Life For The Love Of God - Ecclesiastes 2:24-26 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Mar 13, 2025

Is there any Biblical reason why we should ever watch a movie or a ball game? Or go on vacation or play a game or have some dessert? Or take $2000 that could feed a third world family for a year and spend it on a kitchen remodel? What's the right way to enjoy earthly pleasures?

Ecclesiastes 2:24 There is nothing better for man than to eat, drink, and enjoy his work. I have seen that even this is from God’s hand, 25 because who can eat and who can enjoy life apart from Him? 26 For to the man who is pleasing in His sight, He gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy, but to ...read more

“Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.” [1] Since the fall of our first parents, for as long as mankind has existed, vulgarity has plagued the race. What do I mean when I use the term “vulgar?” The ...read more

Why Do You Worship?

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 27, 2002

Which Jesus do you want to meet – gentle and riding on a donkey, or carrying a sword and riding on a white horse?

We’ve come to a crucial crossroads in our journey through the book of Matthew. Everything that Jesus has taught and done has been leading to this point.

Understanding Works Series

Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Jan 4, 2003

In this sermon we explore the difference between works by human effort and godly works.

Good deeds or works fall primarily into two categories: man driven works and God produced works. Man-centered religion always works to improve self in the hope that we will reach the level of salvation. Even Christians fall into this trap. Man driven works is either the attempt to become a god or ...read more
