    Grumbling In The Camp

    Contributed by Shawn Miller on Sep 7, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 23,127 views

    As the Israelites left Egypt, we expect them to be overjoyed and happy because their prayers for deliverance were finally answered, but instead we find an ungrateful and irreverent nation. How often we grumble between Egypt and the promised land.

    Grumbling in the Camp Introduction: There is always something to complain about, even when there isn't. We can find a grievance if we want to. No matter how unreasonable it is. We grumble when its too hot, we grumble when it's too cold. We grumble when it rains. We grumble when it snows. We ...read more

    Paul teaches that the reason for our freedom in Christ is to “serve one another in love.” This final sermon in the One Anothers series shows how believers are to follow in Christ’s footsteps, and the most important way we do that is by serving.

    In these final instructions Jesus declares the church's mission of worldwide evangelism and discipleship. Jesus has completed His mission of dying as the Lamb of God for the sins of the World (Jn. 1:29). Now Jesus commissions His disciples with a mission.

    LUKE 24: 44-53 COMMISSIONED AND EMPOWERED WITNESSES [Luke 18:31-33] Having assured the disciples of His physical resurrection (vv. 36-43), Jesus now gives them the great commission.

    6 areas where we can be hindered in life. Children can be hindered, worship can be hindered, fear can hinder us, offerings can be hindered, spiritual hearing can be hindered, and finally prayer can be hindered.

    Taken from the Sermon Central series and heavily edited, in this final sermon in "The Path" series, Pastor John teaches on what happens when it seems we can't get to our dreams.

    Unreachable Destinations The Path CCCAG 11/7/21 Scripture- Proverbs 13:12 So far in our series on The Path, we’ve learned that: 1. Your direction determines your destination. (Pr. 7:6-27) 2.

    When it comes to our ancestors generations ago, many of the things we hold near and dear are just hearsay. Many times we fill in the blanks with our minds, seemingly making it real. Finally, we believe it.

    The Power Of A Father’s Blessing Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on May 31, 2023
     | 4,619 views

    The final chapter of Jacob's life provides a striking example of the power of a father's blessing. What can we learn that's can be applied to our role as fathers (and mothers).

    AT THE END: As Jacob comes to the end of his life, he blesses his children. - Genesis 48:1-49:28. - These two chapters share with us the final acts of Jacob. He has lived a long life and he knows he’s at the end (48:1-2; 49:29, 33). - The words that Jacob speaks are words of blessing (49:28). - ...read more

    The Ultimate Scapegoat

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,479 views

    What was the Scapegoat, and can it's function somehow be applied to Jesus? Christ made a one-time sacrifice and atonement to cover all sins. There is no more need for a scapegoat, as the Lamb of God became the final sin offering.

    I want to begin our sermon this morning by asking if you’ve ever before heard the word “scapegoat.” This term was coined by William Tyndale, the first great English Bible translator, who I will discuss a little further later on in our message. After Tyndale, the word came to be used for a person, ...read more

    Hebrews 9:28 highlights three powerful truths: the finality of Christ's sacrifice, the certainty of His return, and the salvation He brings. Let's delve into these truths and see how they transform our lives.

    The Hope of His Return Hebrews 9:28 Introduction Today, we explore a verse that encapsulates the hope and assurance we have as believers in Jesus Christ.

    Faith To Go Series

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Oct 25, 2025
     | 140 views

    This sermon highlights Abraham's radical obedience, who, by faith, left his place of comfort to follow God's call without knowing his final destination, trusting only in the promise of his Guide.

    Introduction How many of us are comfortable with the unknown? Most of us, if we're honest, are planners. We like a GPS for our car, an itinerary for our vacation, and a five-year plan for our career. We find our security in knowing what's coming next. We like maps. Today we come to one of ...read more

    This topic suggests that there is a man who had victory in almost every area of his life and he deserves to be praised for this but we still have to examine his marriage before we can finally say that his victory is complete

    THE VICTORIOUS HUSBAND AND HIS MARRIAGE Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. 20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken. 21 Evil shall slay the wicked Psalms 34:19-21 I want to thank the Chairman of the Redeemers Men Fellowship for ...read more

    Eternal Destinations

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 27, 2022
     | 2,349 views

    In Matthew 25, Jesus talks about two eternal destinations. At the Second Coming, the King Himself will return and destroy all His enemies and establish His kingdom on the earth. That will be the Millennial Kingdom. The Jews will finally recognize Jesus as their Messiah.

    Notice two categories that Jesus mentions: 1. The sheep (saved) Sheep may be stupid, but they are also loyal and will quickly follow their leader. Read John 10:1-5. Sheep will recognize the voice of their shepherd, and they will not follow someone who might be imitating the shepherd. 2. The ...read more
