    based on 14 ratings
     | 5,150 views

    God provides comfort and encouragement to persevere.

    Scripture Introduction We rarely think of Jesus as needing to persevere. Yet he faced greater rejection and more opportunities for discouragement than any of us could imagine—he was forsaken by the whole world, and even by God. It would be wise of us, therefore, to look to him for a theology for ...read more

     | 7,605 views

    Series on men and women’s prayers in the Bible that made a difference and how prayer truly is the difference maker in our lives. I borrowed the outlines from SermonCentral Pro Contributor Tim Byrd.

    A sermon talking about how Jesus wants our relationships with others to be, and how we can get them there. Communion meditation and sermon MP3 will be placed at www.sermonlist.com

    Do you treat others like you would want them to treat you? We think that if people were nicer to us, we could be nicer to them, don’t we? But that’s the Problem. Jesus didn’t say, “Treat people the same way they treat you.” He said, “Treat people like you would want them to treat you.” We ...read more

    It’s sometimes dangerous to forget things... and Deuteronomy 6 is telling us how important it is to teach our families to remember that God should be 1st in our lives. How do we do that?

    OPEN: I once read the true story of woman who had been just learning to golf. She had been at it for about a month or so when her father-in-law invited her to go golfing with him. After teeing off on one of the holes, her father-in-law was intent on finding the ball he had sliced into the ...read more

    Life throws us some real punches. Instead of focusing in on what we have lost, we need to see what it is we have left that God can still use on our behalf.

    When Life Knocks You Down-What’s Left 1 Samuel 30:1-31 Philippians’ 3:7-14 Today we complete our series, “When Life Knocks You Down.” Pastor Toby preached on “I Failed, Now What.” Pastor Kellie preached on “God Specializes in Plan B.” ...read more

    Forgiveness is an act of understanding how much God has forgiven us; of the heart, making a changed spirit possible; and of the will, opening up all that God wants to do in us.

     | 5,730 views

    Jesus has come to give his life as a ransom for many (10:45). Man needs to be saved from himself, from his deceitful heart, his bent to do evil.

    Introduction What is worse – to be told that you will fail or to watch your failure played out just as it was told? And what is more difficult for the condemned prisoner – waiting for the hours to tick by or the moment of execution finally arriving? Not very good choices either way, ...read more

    So, what are we sure about this Easter morning? That Jesus was right all along.

    Introduction We have had three months of somber, tense passages covering the passion of our Lord, and though hopefully I have been able to convey the message that throughout his passion, Jesus was in control of his destiny and was carrying out the mission of redemption that he had come to ...read more

    Many have convinced themselves that once you have surrendered your life to Christ, there is an easy pathway that is leveled out for you to follow, one that is clearly marked, one that just takes you right to the peak of spirituality.

    Introduction To Psalms Series

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Feb 22, 2020
     | 6,248 views

    This is the introduction to a series of studies on selected Psalms, developed from a series of classes. This sermon does not examine a particular psalm, but makes observations about psalms in general.

    In my personal studies I have found psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had ever realized. Too often I have swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as I should into the depths of meaning and feeling that are expressed by the psalmists. Upon ...read more
